It would have to completely choke off the intake for it to starve the motor for air. I don’t see that being possible considering most factory, unmodified cars have an air box with a filter panel that would be too large for a stuffed up paper towel to affect. It could definitely obstruct airflow but I highly doubt it would choke it off completely.

There is still air inside the motor when it’s shut off so it should at least fire a few times before getting choked out/starved for air.

Glad everything turned out okay. My wife made me a grilled cheese for dinner last night. Was fantastic.

As far as practicing some meals, if you're open to suggestions, I'd say try a crock pot. There are a large variety of meals you can work with, and due to the nature of their prep/cooking times, they tend to be lower risk and less complex. The foods you can make with them though... whoo!

..... dang. I want another grilled cheese.... anyhoo. Wish you the best!

You’re honestly lightyears ahead of your peers and I’m proud of you for being an honest and down to earth person. I don’t think you messed up that bad, it was a learning curve you both endured. It’s worth noting that she’ll probably attempt to control who is in his life, one by one she’ll make comments and make him decide. Hopefully that doesn’t happen but if it does, I hope he bails.

TLDR: you didn’t fuck up, you’re a genuine person-rare creature

Dating since late August, yes. But we've been best friends for 3 years and working together for 5. Knew each other casually (small town Wisconsin) for about 15 years. She's been "Wife" in my phone for years now and it's not at all sarcastic anymore, as new as the actual romantic part may be.
