Thursday Think 'n' Share LXXX

At this point it's an on-going note: I have been using the "Couples" edition and most of those were of general interest, which seemed like a good idea since I didn't want to make this feature inaccessible to people who aren't part of a couple. Still, my desire for new wonderful questions puts me in a quandry, so for the time being I will be posing some questions that are phrased as being about your "mate." It's a somewhat unfortunate phrasing, I think, but for our purposes we will take it to mean everything from "spouse" to "significant other" to "primary lover" and any other designation I may have missed that seems applicable to you. Likewise, recognizing that not everyone has (or wants) such a thing, you are certainly welcome to answer these questions with regards to a former spouse/significant other/primary lover or a hypothetical future one of these. Or, for that matter, you're welcome to take the opportunity to offer the rest of us advice if none of the above works for you. For my part, I'm feeling less than fully serious tonight. Oh well.
Express your appreciation for something your mate did recently.
She had the courtesy to catch whatever virus she's got after I left last weekend (and won't see her again until late next week)--does that count? This isn't recent, really, but it's on my mind: I'm glad she said yes and even seemed to get excited when I suggested we change our spring break plans from traveling to Italy to learning to build a house. Really, she's always doing nice things for me.
Complete this statement: "Something I can give my mate is..."
the use of my Kitchen Aid mixer if we ever manage to live together. More immediately, I could more cheerfully agree to walk her dog.
If your mate were to write your epitaph, what do you think it would say?
Beats me. "If only he'd gotten a physical when I suggested it"? I'm hoping this won't be pertinent any time soon...
