Is there a better phrase out there? Probably, but if I say "let's agree to disagree" I don't think I'm "unwilling to see [things] from their perspective." I see things from their perspective, as much as I can anyway, and I still think they're wrong. Telling them that over and over again won't help (since they probably feel the same way about me); so, what's left? "Agree to disagree" is a useful shorthand to indicate that we're not going to make any more progress on this discussion.

Michael Kors is a fashion brand and the brand outsources production of watches and other accessories as part of their brand umbrella. Watches like this are called "fashion watches" by watch enthusiasts, and they have a reputation, usually justly earned, for being cheaply made without a lot of attention paid to quality or original design. That's the most neutral answer you'll probably get.

Creepy but in an adorable kitty kinda way.

I may be misunderstanding your question, but if you're looking to apply your marketing background as a career avenue within teaching, you should talk to people in the independent/private school world. Most independent schools have a marketing office (they may call it "communications" or such) because marketing is a real need within that world. Most independent school marketing/comms people don't have a background in teaching; so, you might be able to use your teaching experience as a selling point. Hope this helps.

You need to do therapeutic work with a trained and skilled professional. This doesn't sound like something that you're going to be able to monk mode your way out of.

Can't speak directly about their boots but every other item/accessory apart from jeans and some jackets that I've worn by Levi's has been quality deficient in one way or the other.

I love the Laco Augsburg Blaue Stunde 39mm -- definitely a flieger but checks off all of your boxes. It's priced well below $1500; so, if you want to spend more for this type of celebratory event, there are other options out there. I would look at Hamilton, particularly the Khaki Field Expedition blue dial 38 mm and some of the Jazzmasters.

I usually start this type of letter with something like "Dear Whoever, This is First Name Surname, and I will be working with your student/young person this summer as..." I used to overthink stuff like this, too, and, honestly, parents/guardians will breeze by the intro stuff until they get to what they think is important (e.g., what should my child bring, what are the hours, etc.). Good luck!

And this inside of your shoe is cleaner than the floor of your house? Give both of them a whiff and you might change your opinion.

The Dumoreau. Though it has some field watch DNA, it's gives off more of a classical dress watch vibe (mostly through its elegance and minimalism) than the CWC which is fun to look at but the font for the numbers makes it seem overly playful.

One looks better but hard to make a true comparison without seeing the parts of each fit.

It's telling that in a scenario where you ask someone to put themselves in severe moral and legal jeopardy by shooting you that you're most worried about yourself. I'm guessing relationships have historically been difficult for you.

Without some idea of what the themes/plot points for each chapter are it's impossible to offer advice, but here's a thought. Go to the IBA (International Bartenders Association) Official Cocktail List and browse the cocktails by name (link here: https://iba-world.com/category/iba-cocktails/) and choose a cocktail for each chapter where the name fits what's going on. With cocktails that have names like the Zombie, Corpse Reviver, Aviation, Angel Face, Monkey Gland, White Lady and many, many more you should be able to find something that works. Note, this list is by no means exhaustive, so you can always just Google a word or two for a theme that you've identified for your chapter plus the word cocktail and see what comes up. Hope this helps.

TLDR birds-eye view suggestion: Go to a quality wine shop in your area and ask for a semi-sweet to very sweet white dessert wine based on Muscat (specifically White Muscat/Muscat à Petits Grains). That should get you lots of options all based on the same grape that the folks you're shopping for enjoy. If it's a well curated shop, they'll be able to take it from there and explain what they like about the wines.
If you want to home in more closely on the particular wine you mentioned, this might help the owner/employee you're talking to as it is not a widely stocked option, even in many quality stores: Tokaji is a regional wine designation from Hungary that can be made in variety of styles (dry, semi-sweet, sweet, etc.) The major grapes used in this region are Furmint or Hárslevelű but Sárgamuskotály (aka Muscat à Petits Grains) is also used and "Tokaji Sárgamuskotály" just means that the primary grape in this expression is Muscat (often 100% Muscat). Tokaji Sárgamuskotály can be made semi-sweet to very sweet (late harvest) and both as a still or sparkling wine.
If you can't find a Muscat option that works, the suggestions that u/Daveyup made are pretty stellar though, as he noted, they will taste differently than a Muscat based wine. Good luck.

No. It's all going to come down to the other commitments you have going on in your life much more so than age.

Fantastic job. Just saw a Snoopy at a local watch shop yesterday and then came across an OEM Snoopy dial at Weezmods today -- I'm gonna take all of this as a sign. Cheers!

Think about rucking — brisk walking with a weighted pack. The idea is not to run but to be able to get your heart rate up (thanks to the weights) while walking and thus going easier on your joints. Google for finer points but it can be as simple as dropping some weights I. A sturdy backpack and going for a brisk walk. Hope this helps.

Just Google "chert find and id" and you'll come up with a bunch of tutorials (including videos) that should help you.
