Nooo, I'm definitely not a snoop. The reason being that in a lot of cases, ignorance is bliss. I don't need/want to know every little detail about someone else's life. Often a bit of mystery is a good thing.
If I was worried my partner was cheating on me or I thought one of my kids was doing drugs, I'd have to come straight out and ask. If I snooped for an answer, with my luck I'd end up jumping to the wrong conclusion!
Books and movies help inspire me when I'm lost for words.
Also, as Dancing_Doll mentioned, if I'm stuck in the middle of a story, I'll often go to bed and sleep on it. I come up with some of my best ideas that way.
I don't know if it's changed much since I was single. There was definitely a difference in the way we communitcated. We didn't text each other or connect over the Internet. It was all done through landlines, like WMM mentioned, or actually going to visit one another. Sometimes we'd use carrier pigeons.
More often than not though, we'd go out as a group of friends and occasionally pair off. When I met my husband, we did have traditional dates, where he'd call me and we'd organise to go out. He also met my parents and used to pick me up in his car, but it was all pretty casual and comfortable.
Reading
Camping
Jigsaw puzzles
Running (but being preggers at the moment, I've had to put that one on hold!)
Gardening
Ouch. That must have hurt! Might be a good idea to replace them with a smaller version if she travels a lot. 9kg seems a tad over the top.
I'm not much of a hand holder. I prefer linking my arm through his and leaning into him a little.
Unless the person was interrupted half-way through, as a reader I'd assume they'd finished what they'd started.
If it's an important part of your story, I think detail's needed to draw the reader into the scene. If it's not important to your plot or character development, then it's not necessary for the reader to know and should be left out.
If it's a short story, the first couple of paragraphs has to draw me in for me to keep reading.
If it's a book, I'll keep reading regardless, hoping it gets better as it goes along.
If I signed the contract, I'd basically be putting all my trust in a man I'd only just met to treat me well during our first time together. What would happen if he suddenly started trying to make me do something I didn't want to do, or got too rough and the situation became dangerous? I would've legally freed him from any responsibility.
I'd move on as soon as he presented the contract. There are plenty of other willing men out there who don't need to whip out a legal document in order to jump into bed with a woman!
I haven't fallen asleep while reading before. The book usually holds my attention and I can't put it down.
TV makes me go to sleep in about five minutes flat, though!
I've never heard of that one before.
I've lifted plenty of heavy things in my time and haven't have any problems with pregnancy.
He's known about it from the beginning. He reads my stories before I put them up and asks how they're going. The time I spend here doesn't bother him at all. Usually we're in the same room and talking to each other while I'm on here anyway.
That's a great photo, Necho.
I love going to the beach in winter.
I'm really not sure I could do it, but I guess I'd never know for certain unless I ended up in that situation. Being in a committed relationship where we've agreed to only be with each other, a move like this could have the potential to ruin everything we've worked for.
Also, I can't detatch my mind from my body. I wouldn't be able to shut off my brain and pretend it's just sex and it doesn't matter. Not when I know what it would do to my husband. I'm not sure why, but it doesn't work that way for me.
If I was single and put in the same situation, my answer might be different.
That's the best explanation I've read yet for why my husband won't let me anywhere near the barbecue!
