    It's vows. In the Bible Jesus said if you can't make a vow, then don't do it. You need to be true to your word and promises. Marriage contracts are not signed in blood. Covenants were..you sacrificed something (often a chicken, or maybe a goat, or lamb)

    Democracy is not a perfect system, but it's much better than dictatorship. I think because NZ doesn't really have a consitution, just a treaty, our elections are every 3 years and its just flip flops all the time depending on which party has the majority, and both sides hate each other. So...

    Well you meant to eat seasonally. In winter you just eat what is stored and keeps well, like pumpkin, apples and whatever you have canned/bottled/preserved. Italians and French eat so well because they can grow things year round. Those who live in the UK< if they want tomatoes out of season...

    good for you Can be expensive, but if you can afford it, worth it, tastier, and healthier for you. Try and get fresh produce or if you can, grow your own. Sun ripened tomatoes always taste better than hothouse ones.

    The traditional vows that you make at a wedding no longer apply. Some couples just make up their own vows. But just as many break them. My view is don't stay in an abusive marriage. If you can divorce, which is a mercy, its better than being abused or living in fear.

    But there as polygamy in the olden days. If you didn't like your first wife, you just married a second or third one. Or took a concubine. You didn't divorce them.

    Maybe its the quality of the cheese? Do you use genuine mozzarella? American cheese I heard is too processed, and bright orange. Mac n Cheese cheese is just cheese powder with milk and water added.

    Yea just sand dollars you find on the beach, you can also trade items. What games have been monetized and what would you buy off them? I can't imagine how annoying that would be having to pay for gameplay all the time. I mean the OG video games you just put a coin in the slot like a payphone...

    I don't know, some of them probably not as he is a mechanic and talks about fixing them, something breaks all the time. He also drives trucks and buses and is a driving instructor. Probably the cheaper cars he fixes them to sell them, but he drives an MG, Mazda, or Audi when I see him.
