What are favorite short(ish) non-cheesy poems about love?
I am looking for poems about all kinds of love -- romantic, sexual, platonic, familiar, friendly, whatever -- that aren't too long. Some sentiment is OK but nothing obvious. I like conflict or poetry that understands that love isn't always perfect. [more inside]

Drinking 225 ml of liquid then go to bed, -> to how many/much urine?
If a person is in good health, (doesn't have diabetes etc.) what is the frequency of urination, times the amount of urine that drinking 225 ml of liquid just before going to bed, would lead to? And does it make a difference what the liquid is, other than coffee and alcohol which are mentioned on the list in the articles I read. It doesn't mention caffeinated coffee or not. The articles I read all say 2 or more is too much see your doctor. Does it mean even if if you drink as much as possible, you should only urinate once per night? That doesn't work in my head. And does it make a difference whether a person is lying down or not? The articles don't mention anything about those things.

I am running a 10k race on Sunday. Should I walk on Sat for an hour?
I usually take a brisk walk with a friend on Saturday but I'm wondering if I should have one day of rest. On Thursday, I will run for 3k, on Friday I have my usual not too easy all inclusive (legs, abs etc) exercise class. Would one day rest before the race be optimal? (I'm in my 60's, female).

Gift for Bridge Player?
I have the BEST DAD EVER and want to get him an awesome Father's Day present. He's a total Bridge dork. I know nothing about Bridge other than it involves doing math in your head for an extended period of time, which sounds awful.

Orlando Adjacent Beach Recommendations
Mr. Wasp and I are flying into Orlando next month. We're planning to immediately get out of the city and enjoy several days relaxing near/on the beach; we also like the idea of staying in a low-key, unique location. Google/travel site searches feel overwhelming and inconclusive. We're planning to visit Kennedy Space Center one day, but other than that, have a wide open schedule. Thank you!
Where to go for Vegetarian V-Day dinner near the NYC Public Library?

Canada Day fireworks - viewing spots in Ottawa this weekend
Ottawa is going to be crazy busy this weekend. We are going to be in town, and want to see the fireworks Saturday night.

Why Do We Change As The Day Progresses?
Why do our expectations and ambitions tend to be so different first thing in the morning vs mid-afternoon vs last thing at night - e.g. "I have so much to achieve!" vs "I'm just busy doing some things!" vs "it can wait till tomorrow!" Is it really as simple as energy level, depleting as the day progresses? Why does this change how important things seem to us? Can our outlook at different times of the day be "reprogrammed"? And why do we tend to be delusional to these changes occuring at all (and daily)?

Did I get rejected by her?
Hi
I asked a girl out for valentines day for the first time by text (I would have done face to face but there's like a lot of snow where I am and I have midterms and stuff so I was very busy) but she said that she was thankful that I asked her out but she feels burdened because valentines day is supposed to be with someone special. She asked me if it was ok to see in the weekend. As I asked before on this website, the girl is a friend that I would like to be my girlfriend. Last time we had lunch together, I felt that she liked me but I wasn't too sure haha. I don't know if she still likes me or not after reading her text. I'm not sure if she wants to meet in the weekend because she feels sorry for me. What do you guys think?

Cheap way to stay in Tokyo for a few months? (internship)
I just got news that I got an internship at an architectural office (altough I just graduated as a a graphic designer) in Tokyo, which is crazy exciting. However, they can't offer any compensation (small studio) so unless I find another job next to this, I need some really cheap solutions. I just sent an email to the studio, asking them for assistance, but figured meta could help.
My plan is to stay for 2-3 months. I saved up some money from side jobs, and don't mind spending it on this experience, but the less it makes a dent the better. My only idea so far was to work as some kind of au pair (I speak English, German, Dutch and Croatian fluently, I'm good with kids, but I am a guy, which I guess is not too popular a gender for babysitting), in exchange for a room. Any ideas? Also, some place where I could look for a small job on the side (preferably something where I could use my design skills, but don't mind a day job)?
Also, how much can I expect to spend monthly if I'm, technically, still on a student budget?
Thank a lot!

1 night per month binge drinker
I know I have a problem drinking. I am a binge drinker that drinks once a month just before my period. Alcoholic Anonymous is the only answer I am getting. It has been helpful in the past, as I had 7 months of sobriety. As a binge drinker one or two nights a month, what do you think I should do, as I have found AA not the exact solution to my problems right now? Let me explain when, how, and why I drink. Please help! [more inside]

My wife has had an awful day. I mean awful. She is stressed, upset, feeling pretty depressed about it.
