I just don't like to send an e-mail to a shared address. But hey, I'm single! What do I know? It might be my first act as a married person! <br /><br />But I do NOT approve of shared FB accounts. One per person, please, and just share the passwords!

Shared email: it'd be way too annoying to filter our each of our messages. We do have a shared address (lastname@mydomain.com) that sends messages to both of our accounts, but it's not a shared account.<br /><br />Since I run my own mail server, I set up new aliases for any site requiring an email (so if this site did I'd have scl@mydomain.com, etc.); it's very quick and then I can easily remove an alias if a site starts spamming me, and then all their messages to the now-defunct address will bounce.

So when I tagged photos of him from high school it was fairly annoying to have to explain that "John" wasn't really "Dawn." Made me feel that I was somehow telling people that he was now a cross dresser or something.<br /><br />There is a couple at my church that ALWAYS dresses alike. Not matching, the same. Same shirt, probably same jeans and even the same shoes - although he has the guy version of her shoes. They have done this for as long as I can remember. It is because of them that all of my friends have permission to smack me upside the head if I ever dress the same as the man I end up marrying.

It was his, before we got married, so I was just kind of added. I didn't even have an email account before we got together. But I rarely check it. Just like phone calls to the house, the emails aren't for me!<br/><br/>But the dressing alike thing? Very very often. It is common in the morning at our house to hear "But I got dressed first! Neener neener!" Neither of us are the slightest bit into fashion so our "uniform" is more often than not a pair of blue jeans with a black T-shirt or polo shirt. Is it doubly sad that a bunch of my shirts were passed down to me from his closet? Yeah, yeah I think that is sad. The trendy one, that's me!<br/><br/>WV: woodys<br/>"When we go to eat at woodys, the black shirts hide all the BBQ sauce drips." We have a shared one.
