“Favorite ice cream: butter pecan. I married a little old lady.”

“Favorite Ben and Jerry’s (this is different then regular ice cream) Phish Food. Has no idea who Phish is just thinks the chocolate fish are neat”

“Favorite donut: old fashioned, for breaking in half and sharing with with the dog.”

"He said 'Have a look at this letter' - so I had a look and turned it over and our friends' address was on the back of it and on the front it just said England."

Mr Biggs said the card had been sent from a sorting office in Germany close to Gloucester's twin town of Trier and had not been opened.

"I said 'How on earth did you know it was for me?' and he said 'I didn't, I've been wandering around with this', said Mr Biggs.

"My wife and I are absolutely shocked but this puts posties at five or six stars and top of the tree for me this Christmas."

The card, it is believed, may have originally been addressed correctly and so was sent to the right area of England - but with an address label that fell off at some point.

A Royal Mail spokesman said: "Royal Mail's team of 'address detectives' are renowned for their ability to ensure poorly addressed items of mail reach their intended recipients however, even by their standards, this is pretty impressive."

and we all independently went on to watch the 5.5 hour long video on Victorious.

I think it’s like. You need vivid experiences that can’t be easily repeated. You need elemental things. I don’t mean this in a crunchy hippie just-try-yoga way I mean this in a way that’s like…we’re inside all the time and most things we experience are scheduled ahead of time. When there are sidewalks, we follow them, and there’s always some boring place to go. You need things that no one has any control over and that no one can sell for money.

"never criticize me and never express a negative opinion about anything I enjoy" is not a realistic expectation to have of anyone, and it's not a reasonable thing to ask of the people close to you. They need to be able to tell you when you're doing something they don't like.

like, for example, both my partners love Saw. I tried to watch Saw with them because they like it and I want to participate in things that they like, but Saw makes me very sad and uncomfortable. The partner who likes Saw the most actually told me to leave the room because they could tell it was upsetting me, and this was the right thing for them to do! It would not have been good for me to pretend to enjoy something that was distressing me in order to spare their feelings, and it would have been cruel of them to demand that of me. I tried it because I love them, but I didn't like it, and that's fine.

on the other side of the coin, I spent a lot of my childhood wanting to make music that my dad would like, because I loved and looked up to my dad and he had a lot of opinions about music. I felt embarrassed about liking music that he thought was bad, I felt ashamed of not being able to identify chords by ear the way he could, and when I made music I was sometimes paralyzed by the question of whether he would think it was good, even if I never expected to show it to him. It was great for me when I learned to disagree with him about music. Now I can hear him say "Ugh, this chord structure is so boring, it isn't going anywhere" and respond with "Well, I don't think so," or "Maybe so, but I like it," or just not respond at all and continue enjoying the song for what I appreciate about it.
