When did you last cry in front of another person? by yourself? I did both just this week. And if you've been keeping up with recent posts, you probably already know that. By myself, it was while I was writing and later proofreading the post I wrote here... In front of someone else was when … Continue reading Question of the Week #127

If you knew a thermonuclear holocaust would occur in precisely 20 years and no one would survive it, how would you change your present life? I kind of feel like I've answered this sort of question before. If you know you're going to die in so many days... Yeah, I get it. I wouldn't change … Continue reading Question of the Week #146
Question of the Week #144
A close friend asks--and genuinely wants--your opinion about something, but your opinion is one that he is likely to find quite painful. For example, your friend is an artist and asks your honest estimate of his chances of being successful. You think he is an atrocious artist who hasn't the slightest chance of success. What … Continue reading Question of the Week #144

Do you ever spit or pick your nose in public? What about cleaning your teeth with a toothpick? Does the inside of my car count as "in public?" Then, yes. Because I like to imagine that I can see out of my car but no one can see into it. No, I do not have … Continue reading Question of the Week #143
Question of the Week #142
What, if anything, is too serious to be joked about? More and more each day, it seems. I'm not saying it's wrong to be politically correct. I'm not necessarily saying it's right, either. It's just funny how you can look back at movies or TV shows that were made 20, even 10 years ago and … Continue reading Question of the Week #142
Question of the Week #141
Would you accept a guaranteed, lifetime allowance of $50,000 per year (adjusted annually for inflation) if accepting it meant that you could never again earn money from either work or investments? No brainer. Absolutely, I would. Even if it wasn't adjusted annually for inflation, I'd do it. It's not that I don't enjoy work or … Continue reading Question of the Week #141

Would you like to know the precise date of your death? No. Why would anyone want to know that? Look, if you're answering this question with a yes in the comments below, please include your reasoning. I don't know... seems kind of morbid. And if you're the one who knows when someone's gonna die and … Continue reading Question of the Week #140

Would you rather spend a month on vacation with your parents or put in overtime at your current job for four weeks without extra compensation? I'm not sure how to answer this question. I mean, I love my job. So if I were asked to do extra work out of the kindness of my heart, … Continue reading Question of the Week #139
Question of the Week #138
If you began to be very attracted to someone of another race, how would your behavior differ from what it would be toward someone of your own race? This is a stupid question. I can almost guarantee, based on 20+ years of post-adolescent experience, if I like a girl, I'm pretty much going to act … Continue reading Question of the Week #138
Question of the Week #137
Do you find it so hard to say "no" that you regularly do favors you do not want to do? If so, why? No. That was easy. Seriously, though... I don't think I have a hard time saying no. I'm not a chronic people pleaser. I'm not going to tell someone I'll do something because … Continue reading Question of the Week #137
