1. Tidying up, you come across your teenage daughter's diary. Do you read it?
Depends on if her moods and attitude have changed in the near past to warrent seeing if something has happened that would explain these changes, but on the whole, NO!!!
2. An executive at a large company will give you a big contract but demands a cash kickback. Do you agree to pay?
NO... this is not a good business practice. I feel that if you are honest and up front with your dealings with others, things always work out the way they should.
3. You work closely with a colleague who has a bad stutter. When he struggles to finish sentences, do you help?
Depends if the colleague is sefl-concious about it, if so I would be patient and let him/her finish his/her own thoughts.

1. If there was a national holiday in your honor, what day would it be and what would it be called?

sorry it's late... You own a restaurant and serve fresh rolls with every meal. Often they're returned to the kitchen seemingly untouched. Do you serve them again?
No, but I do save then to feed the geese and ducks.
In a close fight for re-election, you learn that your rival recently had a nervous breakdown. Do you leak this to the media?
No, something like that is not something I would leak, but I'm sure that some nasty reporter would find it out anyway.
You have a clear view of an attractive neighbor who does yoga in the nude. Do you ask this person to draw the curtains?
Yup. It may embarrass them now, but there are so many perverts out there.
Friday Five 1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
I've always wanted to open up a little shop... I'd have cards and stuff... and my crocheted stuff... I'd have called it "The Octopus' Garden". When you come inside, the door would play the Beatles song for you.
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
Yup! There are times when I wish I hadn't been honest, but only because it hurt their feelings.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
Yes... things were never the same. Some things, sometimes are better left unknown.
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
Camelot... only with Central Air Conditioning... because things were so much less complicated back then.
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
I've always wanted to be able to speak in public. I'm not much of a scholar... but I can talk to anyone one on one... Kevin says I could engage a deaf person in a conversation.

Thursday Three 1. How do you see yourself a year from now?
I see myself a year from now... weighing less, doing more... hopefully healthier... and definately loved.
2. Would you ever want the ability to predict the future? Why or why not?
It might be fun to know the future... but only for a day... because it would not be fun to know who is passing over ahead of time (if you don't say "I Love You" to those you care for each day, you miss out on a lot.)
3. Has anyone ever made a prediction about you that came true and what was it?
Once... mmy (so called) mother... she said I'd have a child just like me... and I do... and she's wonderful, caring and giving... enough said, for now.
Weigh in Wednesday While you're losing weight, or since you've reached your goal, have there been any changes that have concerned or scared you? The biggest change I think is the lack of clothes that fit me well...
How do you deal with them or how do you think you should deal with them? I think I'll get a needle and thread and take in the seams... we don't have extra money for clothes for a while.
start: 353
today:332
