She is recently divorced with young kids. I also have two kids, and my marriage is broken. She lives far away (20 hour drive). I had lunch with her for the first time in 12 years last week, and can't get her out of my head.

With technology, either in space or from the ground. Say I wanted a magnetic field around Mars or the Moon that was strong enough to protect from cosmic rays, solar radiation, etc.

From your perspective.

D1: “Beneath my coif is a tasty treat, but mistake me for my brother and you’ll not wake from sleep.”

D2: “Fastened above, forever sending wet kisses to my lover far below. Ages pass, and when we meet we are made as one.”

D3: “Cast off by my creator, found by the one who will kill him, used as the weapon I was. In another life I could bring comfort to the sleeping princess.”

D4: “I am born on high, in many places all at once. I come of age in the valleys, and I die at the edge of lands, lost forever.”

D5: “Children dislike me, maidens flirt with me, young men challenge me, housewives are wary of me, and husbands respect me, though some lose their heads.”

D6: “I am counted, sometimes coiled, and sometimes scratched with gold. Sometimes fastened, sometimes foiled, hiding secrets in my hold.”

D7: “The cipher of an engineer, the fingers on a farmer, I have no beginning and no end, but I have a place to start from.”

D8: “The inventor doesn’t want it as his own,

the crafter sells it when times are down.

The man who needs me never knows it,

but you never need to feel that you’ll outgrow it.

D9: ”I’ve a mouth but no voice. I’m bound but run free. Finding four, I’m metal, finding only two and I am made of skin.”

D10: “You use a knife to slice my head and weep beside me when I’m dead.”

D11: “I am black child of white father, a wingless bird flying into heaven. I bring tears to those that meet me, though there is no cause for grief.”

D12: ”Pronounced as one letter,

And written with three,

Two letters there are,

And two only in me.

I'm double, I'm single,

I'm black, blue, and gray,

I'm read from both ends,

And the same either way.

What am I?”

D13: “At night we are here, though we were not called, come day we depart, as if waiting recall.”

D14: “Heavy in the hand, heavy in the mind, I go quickly with the bones and come home through toil.”

(clue: in this setting, "bones" refers to dice.)

PLEASE DON'T LOOK UP THE ANSWERS! I need to know if you can figure them out without looking them up, so I can know whether it is appropriate to ask in a closed setting.

1) “Beneath my coif is a tasty treat, but mistake me for my brother and you’ll not wake from sleep.”

2) “Fastened above, forever sending wet kisses to my lover below, and when we meet we are no more.”

3) “Cast off by my creator, found and valued by the one who will kill him, I bring comfort to the sleeping princess.”

4) “I am born on high, in many places all at once. I come of age in the valleys, cleaning, feeding and growing. I die at the edge of lands, lost forever.”

5) “Children dislike me, maidens flirt with me, young men challenge me, housewives are wary of me, and fathers respect me, though some lose their heads.”

(The setting is a medieval realm, and includes an underground theme.)

For congress, senate or president? For school-board? For sheriff?
