Kudos to you for having the confidence to stay in this relationship – not everyone can do it. I just want to say that there’s a very fine line between bettering yourself for your own sake versus doing it to keep up with your partner. Always ask yourself who are you really doing it for.
I’ve been in relationships on both sides, as the “dumber” one and as the “smarter” one. My biggest takeaway is that IQ difference affected our ability to appreciate each other’s humor (Person A didn’t always understand Person B’s “smart” jokes and Person B thought Person A lacked humor). Hopefully this won’t be an issue for you. I wish you the best of luck!
Weather – that’s a no brainer
Travel – where you want to go, where you’ve been, exchange travel tips
Furry things – either pets or best options for hair removal
If the menu items are in a different language (French or Korean, for instance) I’ll go on Google Translate to hear the pronunciation and try to learn it. I like learning for my own sake, plus it’s amusing to see the raised eyebrow on the waitstaff’s face.
I think Eric will be the next Bachelor. Here’s why.
Assuming Bryan wins (which, let’s be honest, is totally happening) the best pick for Bachelor would be Peter. He’s a fan favorite. BUT he has made it abundantly clear that the Bachelorette process moves much faster than he’s comfortable with and he’s not sure he can propose at the end. Logically, he would feel the same way about the Bachelor process. Plus he has publicly stated in an interview: “I’m not here to be the next Bachelor.” There are public records of him saying this – I highly doubt he’s gonna be the dickhead who goes against his own word.
Next up is precious Dean. Seriously, he’s so precious to me. For that reason alone, he shouldn’t take on the shit role of Bachelor. I’m also pretty sure he realizes by now that ABC exploited him and his family for national entertainment. Being the next Bachelor would require introducing TWO girls to his family, again on national TV. I highly doubt he would do that.
By process of elimination, that leaves us Eric. Unless they pick somebody who was cut earlier in the season… but nobody remembers those guys. Eric seems like the logical choice.
Damn I miss the days of living in Miami where central AC is the norm. When I moved to Boston, my first question to my roommate was “where’s the AC switch?” and she laughed in my face. That shit was not funny.

Ugghh if only this happened a month ago. It would be fun to watch Nick in Paradise groveling to get Raven back.
Where the bookie at? 100 on Eric and 50 on Boston Max

Literally WTF

Rachel is actually Gollum after Extreme Makeover.
What a shit season… thanks for carrying us through it, Crick.
I pay for HBO NOW, which is $15 a month. I mean, compared to a $15 movie ticket in NYC, I figured this is a better investment.
Speaking of investments, hey there Ron LaFlamme. Sup?

I hated those tiny bathtubs. How can one have shower sex in them?
Lol’ed at your first sentence. I have neither friendships nor sanity. Think one might be the cause of the other…

Crick, due to your awesome recaps (kudos for doing a tasteful one of Dean), you deserve to round up from 6.5 to a solid 7. Cheers.
