Furry couples meme

(From swift_fox, the "fox in a dogsuit")

1. What are your first names? I don't think she'd like me to mention that.  Her name is rather unusual.
2. How long have you been together? 18 years, in two segments during 25 years.
3. How long did you know each other before you started dating? 0 years.  We met online, looong before that became fashionable.
4. Who asked who out? I asked her.  After an initial IRL meeting, I asked her to go with me to a Billy Joel concert.  (It was the first and last rock concert I've ever been to.)  Since then, trip-planning has been her department as Social Life Coordinator.
5. How old are each of you/were you? I was 19; she was 20.
6. What are your astrological signs? We are goats.
7. How tall are each of you? I'm 5′9″30‴, while she's—wait, you won't catch me *that* easily!
8. Whose mother do you see the most? Neither.  Mine lives in Israel now, while her mother doesn't want me to visit her house.
9. Whose siblings do you see the most? Hers (mine are dead or off-continent).  But we see my aunt more than we see her non-sibling relatives.
10. Do you have any children together? Yes.
11. What about pets? Yes.
12. If so, what kind? Currently it's a yappy West Highland terrier, because kid #2 wanted "a little white dog".  Previously there was a pair of cats.
13. Which bill is the hardest on you as a couple? The telephone bill is the one most likely to cause marital strife—she likes to have looooong conversations with her mother.
14. How do each of you work? I hide out in the basement and press buttons which send packets over the Internet which (via some mysterious spiritual force) cause a guy in California to mail cheques to my bank.  She's a homeschooling mom, which doesn't pay very well monetarily.
15. Is that what you went to school for? No.  I'm semi-retired as a computational-linguist/systems-programmer/software-engineer/label-du-jour.  She has a bachelor's in Anthropology after realizing that a major in Education would not actually be a good thing to have.
16. Did you go to the same school? Yes
17. Are you from the same hometown? No.  She's a Jersey girl!
18. Are you from the same town now? We're still trying to wrap our heads around Wilmot Ontario as the place where we live.  It's been rather a large change.
19. Who is the smartest? I get the better scores on IQ tests.
20. Who is the most sensitive? Her.
21. Where do you eat out at most as a couple? We never eat out as a couple.  She rarely goes anywhere without her kidlets.  We're still trying to figure out which local restaurants are worth taking our family back to more than once.
22. Where do you shop the most as a couple? Zehr's supermarket.
23. Where is the furthest you have traveled as a couple? Disneyworld.
24. Who has the best group of friends? She thinks she does.  Maybe I should have a furry bash at our house so we can compare.
25. Who has the craziest exes? Hard to say.  Normal people are all alike, but each crazy is insane in his/her own way.
26. Who has the worst temper? She does.  I do not have a temper.  Also I have some some swampland in Florida that you might be interested in...

Meow?

Don't you mean "prime water-front property"?

[pyesetz]

prime water-front property?

Yes, yes of course!  How silly of me to have misspoken!


Meow?

Might as well put up a Felix icon and be done with it.  I need to redo the icon to restore the musical notes coming out of his mouth, which got reduced to unrecognizability.


18 years, in two segments during 25 years

A few months of dating in 1982-83, a few chance meetings on the street in following years, some letter exchanges in 1988, dating again in 1990, marriage in 1991.

Hmmm, it's going to take me awhile to figure out how it could possibly be bad to tell someone my height. Age, maybe. Weight, definitely. Height?

[pyesetz]

Since mentioning height isn't actually a problem, it seemed like a reasonable place to insert a Felix-like "can't catch me" comment.
