--- Quote from: Akima on 23 May 2012, 00:19 ---I don't understand why a well-off urbanite (Northampton MA calls itself a city anyway) would serve wine in Mason Jars. He isn't a backwoods hillbilly, and I doubt he's a keen fruit-bottler or jam-maker. Is this some sort of pretend-to-be-poor pose thing? If so, it is still weird.

Again, mason jars are pretty popular in PV. I can think of at least two restaurants where tea and water are automatically brought in mason jars. Even if that weren't the case, it's available, and it's quite likely he's a canner if nothing else.

--- Quote from: J on 22 May 2012, 05:51 ---and horny is totally an emotion. it's one of the 6 Officially Sanctioned Male Emotions that it is socially acceptable to express. (hungry, angry, happy, sad, tired, & horny)
--- End quote ---
I'm pretty sure "sad" isn't on the list. In fact, it's kind of the canonical emotion not on the list.

I think that comes under "cutting onions" or "dirt in the eye". There are very few exceptions to the rule...
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 22 May 2012, 23:51 ---I've never had a sister. Is that a normal brother-sister conversation?
--- End quote ---
I would say it's fairly common. Between me and my sister, we've talked pretty openly about stuff that we wouldn't under normal circumstances tell our parents. We more or less see each other as a cross between a best friend and a confessional booth.

I can't speak for anyone else and it of course depend on how close you are, but I can at least say it would be completely normal between me and my sister. Except for that "horny" comment..
TinPenguin:
I can pretty conclusively say I'd never have this conversation with either of my siblings. Then again, I expect I'm too English to ever have this conversation with anybody.
pwhodges:
I also never had such a conversation with my siblings - but I did have a somewhat similar one with my by then elderly mother after my divorce.
