1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

I don't believe in it. It is only the matter how you treat things that happen in your life

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

earnings and generally money, sexual orientation, diseases, addictions, what they think about some nationalities or skin colour...

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

I think I am more mature now so I don't wear the same clothes (I finished with t-shirts with cartoon heroes on haha)... colours? I wear all, it depends on my mood only

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

I can't think of any...

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

it depends on decisions that partners made... I can't see the problem if a dad wants to keep his children (as long as he is a responsible and good person).

Fuck you, Steve. You misspelled my last name. The mighty Aardvark shall inflict punishment on you. Or go medieval on your ass.

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

Relying on good luck is a silly concept. I almost never play the lottery (my son likes buying instants from time to time) and try to be reasonable when it comes to life's choices; still, I enjoy being surprised from time to time.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

That depends on the people actually. I try not to ask too personal questions though.

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

Nope. First of all, I've grown fatter, and adapted a smart casual style. I used to wear all black as a teenager, baggy sweaters and long skirts. I guess you call it growing up.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

A country and western bar where everyone joined in the line dancing. What else was there to do?

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

Nope. The kids should live with whoever genuinely wants to stay with them. If they aren't happy, they should have the option of staying with the other parent. For small kids though, usually the mom arrangement works out for the best.

Thanks Tatiana ;)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

Bad luck: you have all numbers right on the lotto and finally you realize you forget to hand in your lotto ticket
Good luck: a tornado hits the house next to you

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Personal things.
Example: Question to a corpulent women: Are you pregnant ?

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

No. Why? I follow a little bit the fashion.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

no idea

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

I don't think so. For kids it's better to have a good agreement between man/women.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

Not, not always, woman have less possibilities to get a fine enviroment for children and it is not fair that men have to pay child support, but women get the children

Questions this week from the gifted and elegant pen of Tatiana Saturnus!

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

Good luck on it's surface is when everything in life comes easy, 10% of work, 100% of success. But then there is no satisfaction out of it. And that's bad luck.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Yeap: Do you love me?

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

I haven't really changed size over the years so style yes, colours too. But I buy new cloths.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

Yes. First time at work. Just for a day.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

Depends.

thx and get her a dog she can call Pluto ;-)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

good: getting Tatiana's name right
bad: getting his ass whacked for not getting it right

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Hi, you are the guy who wanted the vasectomy, right?

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

No. The old clothes are standing in the corner and build an extra table.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

Every time I see Cicciolina. Or at least at a Polish wedding.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

Yes, if the guy is dead.
Yes, if he's not dead but dead inside.
No, if he's alive and she's dead inside.
I guess that covers it. In case of a different outcome, call me under 0800-555-yourkidcanworkforme

Thanks!! :)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

I guess it's only a matter of coincidence and in what situation happens what. And of your mood.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

No such thing. Ask anything. We have to communicate and get to know :)

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

No. Because I grew up into a different social class.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

Does coming to the office for 8 hours a day count?

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

No. It depends on a person. Some dads are better in handling with their children. Besides, children should have their call as well.

1.Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

To my mind there is nothing “out there” that could objectively be called luck. Bad or good luck is simply our perception of events that happen to us in our life and like beauty is in the eye of beholder. We decide whether something is “stroke of a good luck” or “streak of bad one”. It is I suppose the very attribute of human mind to observe coincidences and try to provide explanations to them. But computers are better at this game as they do not fall into traps of cognitive errors or biases we humans are too susceptible to.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?
I shouldn’t ask them for money or about sensitive issues, but more seriously and honestly I am rather shy, introverted person and talking to strangers has always been difficult to me.

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

Yes I do. But this is exception rather than the rule. I have an overcoat that I put on only on some occasions but I keep it in the wardrobe most of the time as a reminder of the most enjoyable New Year’s Eve celebration I have ever had. For the rest of clothes they got completely worn out or became too tight for me ;-)

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

Most of the time on social / business occasions. I have an unerring accuracy at mimicking someone’s behavior, style of talking etc. I remember while being first time in the mountains
I unwillingly imitated their dialect causing some scorn and suspicions of mocking at them. But honestly it makes me feel as if I was losing some integrity each time.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

This is unfortunately the case for the majority of Polish divorce trials. The worst thing is that the child well-being is the least taken into consideration. What counts most is who will win and hurt the ex as hard as the can. In my opinion the child’s interest should be of utmost importance be it mother or father’s custody.

Questions this week from the gifted and elegant pen of Tatiana Saternus!

Thank You!
(see Tatiana – I corrected your last name ;) )

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

I claim that there is not such thing, although I have my lucky porcelain elephant
which I carried for every exams during studies to bring me a luck ;)
It worked!
>

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Women: Where did you buy this dress?
Men: Why do your hair look so weird? :P

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

NO! Ten years ago I was a sweet teenage girl,
now I'm just a grown up white collar :/

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

I try to avoid this kind of situation – I'm not good in pretending to be someone else.
But of course sometimes I have to – like Bernd – on weddings, which I don't like.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

I'm not a mother – no opinion.

Temat: Fiiiiiiiiive for FRiiiiiiiday (06.03.2009)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

Of course there is.
Bad luck is the one that makes you angry and/or upset, the other one makes you happy and/or pleased.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Maybe not "shouldn't" but "I wouldn't".
I don't ask people if they are happy, in the first meeting.
Actually I avoid to shoot this question all the time.

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

Yes, sometimes. Because I can.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

What I know from Romans and those times is, they used to eat while lying or leaning on something.
No, I haven't had such a situation that I had to eat in those positions.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

No, it shouldn't be always that way. There are people who shouldn't have offsprings in first place.

I believe fathers can also be a "single parent/father". Single mothers do break down, be petrified and controlled easily. And usually too often.
If there's a single mother who can be a woman and behave like a man sometimes, her name should be written on the walls with golden letters.
Nobody is perfect though.

I can understand a man who is not brave enough to take the whole responsibility of a child, but I am not able to understand the system which favors the mothers all the time.
If I were a father in a court, you'd witness the biggest case ever if the biatch judge were trying to take the kid away from me.

Questions this week from the gifted and elegant pen of Tatiana Saturnus!

thank you Tatiana :-)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

"the world is what you think it is". I don't care if someone believes in good and bad luck. it's their world. I don't believe in that stuff. instead of that I believe that "you receive what you deserve"

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

about financial issues like rent, mortgage, media bills, earning, savings etc....

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

the same colours - yes. the same clothes - some of them. my style is still the same. I' ve added some more colours recently.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

I've never thought about that. probably yes, but I can't find the appropriate example.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

children schould stay with that parent who truly loves them and has enough money to take the best care of them and children should be asked who they want to stay with.
the Polish Family Law is so unfair because favours mothers only. when the hearing starts a mother receives 50% chance to become the main carer and then both parents "fight" for the rest. I can't uderstand that.Katarzyna Marszalec edytował(a) ten post dnia 06.03.09 o godzinie 13:09

Questions this week from the gifted and elegant pen of Tatiana Saturnus!

Thank you Ms. SatErnus :)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

I don't belive in either bad or good luck. It's all just the matter of your choice. It's a bit like in "Sliding doors" with Gwyneth Paltrow.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Let me find three questions:

1. So, do you like me or not? :)
2. What's your salary?
3. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met? :)

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

Hmm.. ten years ago I was a hippie-flower power-punk mix. I changed my clothes but not my inside. I've always liked organic colours, it hasn't changed.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

Yes, once, when I was sitting with the home team' fans on a speedway race.Shouted a lot, sweared like a trooper. Didn't really want to end up carrying my jaw to the nearest hospital :-)

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

Every choice may be a bad one, there is no golden rule. Maybe statistically women seem better parents, maybe that's our basics instinct to let the female take care of her progeny.
I don't know, I think the future of kids verifies the decision.

Thanks a lot, Tatiana!:)

1. Is there such a thing as good and bad luck? If so, what is it?

I don't believe in bad or good luck.
Bad luck, though, was invented just to have sth to blame when things go wrong.

2. What are some things you shouldn't ask people you just met?

Dude, I'm broke - could you lend me some money??!!

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

I always liked wearing jeans, T-shirts and trainers. Nothing changed. Still never wear skirts or dresses. I never wear pink and high heels. There are some things I haven't and (I think) will not change. I do not follow trends to big extent.

4. Have you ever been in a situation where you felt you had to "do as the Romans do"?

Yes, from time to time, bussiness meetings or conferences. I really don't like suits, smart clothes and generally I feel like a wimp then. But it's necessary.

5. Should women always get custody (keep the children) after a divorce? Why or why not?

I don't have children myself so it's hard for to take a stand on this topic.
I would probably agree with Katarzyna.Tatiana Z. edytował(a) ten post dnia 06.03.09 o godzinie 13:47

No, because I can't believe that for 32 years I've been so incredibly lucky :) There are born winners and there are born losers. You've either got it or not. Besides, most people bring their miseries upon themselves.

"How much?" quoth Borat.

3. Do you wear the same color/style clothes now that you wore ten years ago? Why?

That would be idiotic or boorish. Fashion changes every season, so you have to follow the main precepts, unless you want to be considered sartorially challenged. But I generally favour the same colours.

Thanks, Tatiana!

1. Luck/bad luck:
There is special significance in statistics about where and when you were born. The founder of Microsoft, Apple, and one of those others - Intel or whatever - were all born within a couple of years of each other. There are many examples, and, conversely, less fortunate ones. In life decisions you have to go with the flow, change, adapt, surf like on waves. In matters concerning time/space accidents or pathology it's hard to convince someone it wasn't bad luck. A stray bullet or catastrophic idiopathic disease.

2. Questions not to ask first meeting:
I usually don't ask someone what they do for a living. It does't really matter to me. Incidentally, it seems like airplanes are a pragmatic-social-skills-free-zone. Maybe it's a "same boat" syndrome. Dunno.

3. Clothes/colors from ten years ago:
Just underwear but things made from rubber and iron are very durable. :) I remember being issued uniforms in a group of people who don't care about color/style. I raised my hand and said thank you but "because of my skin tone, I'm more of an autumn." The results were not good, unless extra PE, running and push-ups are good. Actually, I have a few things like a couple sweaters, etc. that you can take from me..from my cold, dead hands. I have new things regularly too.

4. When in Rome:
Eating flaki on Christmas Eve and smiling about it gratefully. Many other times.

5. Custody mom/dad:
This is probably one of those social systems that are too weak or haven't strengthened in relation to the need. What could be more important than comprehensively evaluating each and every case individually and withut prejudice in a deeper ways. Smart bombs, I guess.Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 06.03.09 o godzinie 19:43
