1. Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?

Thanks! These are nice :)
1. Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?

not really. but it becomes one when crying is the only reaction for any critics. It' just neurotic to me.
2. You finished your business in a public toilet only to discover that there is no toilet paper, what do you do?

I always do have a tissue with me. Never forget to take it - I'm too scared to experience this situation.
3. What was the best thing before sliced bread?

Almost everything was better - sliced bread is just a waste of food to me :)
4. Why do you call it an asteroid when it's outside the hemisphere, yet call it hemorrhoid when it's in your ass?

Why do we call it the way we do- no clue.

I don't know which is better: to leave it as it states in the question or to have an ass in the hemisphere and an asteroid in your ass
to have an ass in the hemisphere- would propably mean that were all f*cked and
to have an asteroid in your ass would propably mean the same but ...a bit more personal :)Or to have a gargantuan hemorrhoid, like a space size one that really prevent taking the vertical position :)

Well, a bit of Friday's reflection

5. Have you every grabbed someone thinking you know them, & when they turned around it wasn't who you thought it was!

No and hope that won't ever happen to me. Spooky thing..

Depends if people use it against you or not. But itself... is a relief. But it's better to cry only in presence of those who are trustworthy.

1. No. I'm seeing mental arousal. Why. Too cold outside and you're boss is a jerk? hmmm what else is wrong? Passion? Not weak. Space occupying lesion? Not. Lose your match? Weak. Didn't get the class at the time you wanted it? Weak. Seizure? Not Pain? Not...

2. Wow. I'll have to ask Geeves what we would do. I seem to recall a funny incident when he was brushing my teeth. Something about the "paste" (?) being "empty." (?)(of course, it wasn't funny at the time). hee

3. I dunno but I'm buying the other bread answers. When I came back from there and made a sandwich here I took a bite and "ble..." Felt like I was eating ham and marshmallow. :)

4. Good point :))) But I'm buyinng what Jacek K wrote.

5. Grabbed? C'mon. I've hurt someone. My brothers and I were playing a combination football, rugby, American football game in the snow. No rules except for field boundaries. We shuffled feet in the snow to make lines. We played. We finished. It was dark. I took my glasses off for the steam. But I saw someone shuffling feet. I ran to a tree. Next tree. Next tree. He saw me. I ran at him, I got airborne, and I hit him into next week. I was sideways. It was a senior-citizen neighbor who was just trying his new cross-country skis. That shouldn't have to happen to good people. I apologized, of course. I'm a gentleman, after all.

Thanks Tatiana Saternus!

1. Do you think crying is a sign of weakness?

Could be... It could be a lot of things: an expession of loss of a loved one; a way to get attention or one's own way; too much stress. I probably cry about once every 2 years, so I should be OK now for the next 18 months or so...

2. You finished your business in a public toilet only to discover that there is no toilet paper, what do you do?

Well, so long as nobody turned the light out before you finished the job, you could always say "could have been worse!"

3. What was the best thing before sliced bread?

No, it's a sign of being in touch with your emotions. I respect and empathise with people who cry.
2. You finished your business in a public toilet only to discover that there is no toilet paper, what do you do?

If it's a toilet with a washbasin in the same room, I use soap and water.
