Now, if it's a question between "raspberry sachertorte" or "caramel praline" cake, then that bears some serious discussion. But something as basic as "chocolate or vanilla" should never come up in a serious conversation. Just, no.

But even if your keyboard differs, it really isn't the keyboard's fault: your spelling removes most if not all accents on letters, specifically words 'borrowed' from a foreign language.Unmade Plans (WIP: 11/20):
Sam's life takes a turn in an unexpected direction when she's faced with an unplanned pregnancy. The decision to keep the baby and raise it on her own will alter her life forever. Relationships are put to the test, especially the one between her and Jack. She doesn't know what to expect from him and he surprises her at every turn.

My S/J fics can be found on FFnet and AO3. I also tweet and tumble about the ship and my writing/stories.

I prefer tea, but I do have coffee occasionally... with lots of sugar and flavoring like a vanilla or caramel latte!
Back to... Jack likes vanilla and Sam likes chocolate... so their wedding cake would be half/half?
They could always do a chocolate/vanilla checkerboard for their cake
Originally posted by fems View PostWe hardly ever see her eat anything. We know she takes her coffee black, enjoys herbal tea (Ascension, Changeling) and mochaccinos (Family Ties), prefers the taste of diet coke (Upgrades), likes beer (Fire and Water), wine (Unending, Family Ties), and blue jello. Oh and she either doesn't like macaroons or Mitchell's family recipe isn't very tasty (Line In the Sand).
Those are the only things that come to mind. Well, and there's a handful of times we've seen her eat something off-world (with varying degrees of success) but they never really say what they're eating or what it tastes like, except for Daniel's comments about MREs.

Originally posted by fems View PostI have a regular qwerty keyboard and it's set on US (international) if I'm not mistaken and I have no problems using them. They're right there (one left of the 1 and the other left of the enter button) and you just have to hit them before using the proper letter, which is one of the reasons I often type 'Tealç' in my stories, hence me having set it to autocorrect in Word!

Actually, my idea of macaroons has always been the French kind (the sort with a flavoured cream in the middle of two crusts) rather than the coconut sort, so when I saw Mitchell's macaroons, it threw me for a loop as well. Then I realised the spelling was different and that these two are also normally misspelled, which didn't help my confusion...
But good point about the wedding cake though. From that very telling conversation, it sounds as though they hadn't even gone for a proper dinner date where cake was involved. And she was going to marry him?!

I'm only jumping in to say - my husband only knew what cake I liked because of the wedding I didn't find out until a year later that HE didn't like carrot cake. We worked out (after all, I did just birth our second child and he's still around helping with dirty diapers last I checked... I am a bit sleep deprived though. I hope he's not a hallucination O.O).
There are lots of reasons not to like but not knowing her cake preferences? I'll bet dollars to donuts Jack doesn't know either He does know what jello she likes though...

Originally posted by selene0789 View PostI don't think Sam has ever had a more awkward car ride than that one. Well, except for maybe the ride back. AFTER she's told him she doesn't want to continue the relationship.
She'd just have to call Jack to come get her!

Originally posted by Lucycat View PostDidn't storm off after Sam broke up with him? He walked off and took the "For Sale" sign off the house. I don't think she would ride back with him after that! But then again, if they rode together, do you think he would leave her stranded there?
