Let’s talk grout
Do you know If a tile floor has been freshly laid (like within the past week) and it hasn’t been grouted
yet, is it a bad thing to clean it - get liquids/chemicals down between the tiles? Yes/no, why? (& thank you)
If you didn’t know the answer to the above, are there other areas around the house, construction/DIY
related, that you’re handy/knowledgeable in? If so, what are your particular talents?
If you’re like me and other than the basics (how/where to use WD40) have no clue whatsoever, is there
a friend or family member who’s particularly handy in the DIY department you’d call?

Do you know If a tile floor has been freshly laid (like within the past week) and it hasn’t been grouted
yet, is it a bad thing to clean it - get liquids/chemicals down between the tiles? Yes/no, why? (& thank you) No, I didn't know that. I imagine that the answer is that the chemicals or liquids might prevent the grout from curing.
If you didn’t know the answer to the above, are there other areas around the house, construction/DIY

If you’re like me and other than the basics (how/where to use WD40) have no clue whatsoever, is there
a friend or family member who’s particularly handy in the DIY department you’d call? My husband is good at that sort of thing.

How many years would you say are a significant age difference between two people?
- 10 Years?
- 15 Years?
- 20 Years?
- 25 Years?
- 30 Years and greater?
Age doesn't matter? I think anything more than five years is a significant difference, but it depends a lot on the couple. Some May-December romances work out well.
Do you know a couple who have a lot of years in age difference? My first husband was 20 years older. It didn't last, but the age difference wasn't the reason.
This is for both single, or married/involved individuals - How would you feel if were attracted to somebody
who is either many years younger or older than you are? I think I would feel embarrassed at being attracted to a man who's more than 15-20 years younger as it's not considered socially acceptable and I'm no cougar. I also would doubt that it would last, especially if he wanted a family. I would be OK with being attracted to a much older man, although I'm nearly 65, so there can't be too big a difference!
Are you, or have you ever been involved with somebody with a significant age difference between both
of you? Feel free to give details if you wish. When I was in my 20s, I dated men in their 40s and 50s, but they weren't serious about me because I was too immature at that stage in my life to be good wife material. The oldest man I ever dated was an ophthalmologist who was German and had served in Hitler's Navy during World War II! My first husband was much older, as noted above, but was young at heart. He learned to ski in his 50s because I liked to do it. I appreciated that. My current husband is eight years older, and though it's not a huge difference, he is definitely in a different generation than me. I found that out when we were looking at a picture of the Beatles, and he wasn't sure which was which!

Do you know If a tile floor has been freshly laid (like within the past week) and it hasn’t been grouted
yet, is it a bad thing to clean it - get liquids/chemicals down between the tiles? So what did you spill, lol? You should be fine as long as you didn't stain the top of your tile. The tile was laid with mortar or thinset on the bottom of each tile. Do you have spaces in between each tile? That is where your grout will go. If you spilled something within the cracks and it is cleaned up and dry the grout will go right over that. Clean up what you can and once the grout is filled in the gaps between the tiles you should seal the grout If the tiles got stained on the top you could have a problem. Did you stain the top of the tiles? You will be fine if you have anon porous tile like glazed ceramic of porcelain.
If you didn’t know the answer to the above, are there other areas around the house, construction/DIY
related, that you’re handy/knowledgeable in? I know a little of this and a little of that
If so, what are your particular talents? I seem to have become very good at trimming paint.
If you’re like me and other than the basics (how/where to use WD40) have no clue whatsoever, is there
a friend or family member who’s particularly handy in the DIY department you’d call? My hubby can do it all and I help him with most

Let's talk about Age differences between two people falling in love.
How many years would you say are a significant age difference between two people?
I think it really depends on the ages you are and your maturity levels. It seems to even out as we get older. For instance an 18 year old and a 43 year old don't have so much in common but a 38 year old can have a lot in common 58 year old or even a young 65 year old For me I think 25 years would be the max...but that is my personal thought on that.
- 10 Years? A lot if you are 14 and he is 24
- 15 Years? Not so bad in the late 20's.
- 20 Years? Getting closer to the same maturity levels and life experiences after 35 or so.
- 25 Years? Pushing it but still doable if the older one has ayoung mind set and the yong one has a mature mind set
- 30 Years and greater?
Age doesn't matter? In some rare and special cases it really doesn't. Usually a very big gap is a mutual acceptance and a shared companionship.
Do you know a couple who have a lot of years in age difference? Not too big of a gap. I know one couple who is about 17 years apart. For them it is more of a companionship and friendship. She is 55 and he is 72. It works for them
This is for both single, or married/involved individuals - How would you feel if were attracted to somebody
who is either many years younger or older than you are? If I was attracted them then age doesn't matter does it
Are you, or have you ever been involved with somebody with a significant age difference between both
of you? Feel free to give details if you wish. I dated a man for a short time who was 34 and I was 18. It would have never lasted. There was too much of a gap. He had so much more life experience while I was just a baby with no life experience.
1. I rent so I don't have to be handy. I know very few people so I can't comment on the DIY.
Well, my friend in NC seems to do a lot of work around his house and for his daughter who lives in MD.
2. Age doesn't matter. If two people are attracted to each other then they should go for it. My theory is there is just as good of a chance that a couple won't make it if they are the same age. I think it's quite possible that an older half of a couple could give the younger half the best years of his/her life.
3. My friend I just mentioned in NC is 13 years older than his wife. They have been married for 30+ years.
4. If I sensed chemistry with a younger woman I would go for it. Life is short and as mentioned above there is never a guarantee anyway.
5. Yes, I have some experience with dating younger.

Age doesn't matter?
Do you know a couple who have a lot of years in age difference?
My mom and dad had a huge age difference (15 years I believe)
This is for both single, or married/involved individuals - How would you feel if were attracted to somebody
who is either many years younger or older than you are? I'd consider the relationship provided that the age difference isn't too significant (beyond 10-12 years) ....
Are you, or have you ever been involved with somebody with a significant age difference between both
of you? Feel free to give details if you wish.
Nope
Today's Questions: I recently had something come up that made me wish I was a bit more ‘handy’ around the house,
it’s a tile/grout thing and even searching the bowels of the internet offered no help
So I think you probably know where I’m going with this . . .
Let’s talk grout
Do you know If a tile floor has been freshly laid (like within the past week) and it hasn’t been grouted
yet, is it a bad thing to clean it - get liquids/chemicals down between the tiles? Yes/no, why? (& thank you) Would not know. House cleaning is not my speciality. Neither are tile floor questions.
If you didn’t know the answer to the above, are there other areas around the house, construction/DIY
related, that you’re handy/knowledgeable in? If so, what are your particular talents? Not having a wife, mistress, girl friend, kids, or anyone else depending on me to bring home the bacon, allows me to pay someone else do the handyman chores. My talents are limited to disposing of, with vengence, dust bunnies that start making demands.
If you’re like me and other than the basics (how/where to use WD40) have no clue whatsoever, is there
a friend or family member who’s particularly handy in the DIY department you’d call?
Nope. I just blindly pick someone.

Age doesn't matter? I could care less. That is their business, not mine.
Do you know a couple who have a lot of years in age difference? I do
This is for both single, or married/involved individuals - How would you feel if were attracted to somebody
who is either many years younger or older than you are? I guess I would feel attracted to them. Not likely to happen as anymore I am far to set in my ways.
Are you, or have you ever been involved with somebody with a significant age difference between both
of you? Feel free to give details if you wish. I have not. I am a real stick in the mud when it comes to relationships.

My guess is vacuum/sweep okay but chemical stuff no. Reason being the chemical stuff could be absorbed in the floor itself (what's below the tile) and eventually affect the tile/grout. But that's just a guess. You could call the installer maybe? That's a guess too.

How many years would you say are a significant age difference between two people? - 10 Years? - 15 Years? - 20 Years? Right around here, I'd say - 25 Years? - 30 Years and greater? Age doesn't matter? And that's the truth
Do you know a couple who have a lot of years in age difference? One couple in particular comes to mind
This is for both single, or married/involved individuals - How would you feel if were attracted to somebody who is either many years younger or older than you are? Older wouldn't bother me, significantly younger (as in: young enough to be my kid) is another story.
Are you, or have you ever been involved with somebody with a significant age difference between both of you? Feel free to give details if you wish. Yes, once long ago - she was 16 or 17 years older (and the details are X rated).
