How does a distaste for touch affect relationships?
Is it even possible for a cuddler to successfully be with a non-cuddler?
Is it nature or nurture? Is it an inherent personality trait or can a person learn to like contact?
Is there some way people can help each other have better lives in this regard?



Short answer,   NO.  You can't cuddle a non cuddler

It is not for the lack of want of intimacy, it is hard wired sensory input that overrides
the non cuddlers' nervous system.

Deal breaker?  yes, very very hard to impossible to overcome.

Oh yeah,  my makeup air is a doggy door 10 foot from the firebox. Works good, and the dogs like it.

mobile home wood stoves use a 2" round as makeup air.

It mostly works, due to the vacuum of the wood stove.

For a rocket I think one fifth area of the exhaust would be about right. Rockets have more thru put.
Are you going to split the incoming air to before the firebox, and heat riser?
You would need a shutter on intake air so after the burn the heat will stay in the mass.

The other way is to level the bottom of the holes.

Put something at the bottom that will take the weight, flat block maybe, set the posts,
should be within 1/2 inch height of each other at top.

Pete - If you don't mind sharing, what is your idea of a good philosophical topic?



Is there good and evil, if so, how do you quantify their value?

Non Player Character:

You meet someone.
If by the their third statement you realize they have not taken the long road to self discovery,
you politely excuse yourself from the conversation.


But, to find someone to have a meaningful conversation, it takes an hour of mutual discovery/comparison.
So, you talk to people.
One in ten have any sense.
One in a hundred have any soul.
One in a thousand have decided to be a positive agent for change.

So you "do the dishes" knowing that in this 20 bushel pile of soiled plates, cups, forks, pots, there is a silver spoon.
Most of it is still drudgery.

Lots of pretty women have wanted my:   time, attention, money, status, and indentured servitude.
The decider for me is their ability to "nose-dive into a deep philosophical discussion."
But, most folks can't spell  fil-a-sof-ick-al.

So, I don't even converse with people that have not tried to enlighten their intellect/soul.

I agree, My time is too valuable to me to waste on small talk.
