V for VforFrayday!

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

"Special" understanding? Hmm, I guess there is such a person. I don't explain it, I'm glad it works.

I don't believe in telepathy. If anything, it may have something to do with empathy and general sensibility to other people.

Having identical opinions on 99'9% of subjects helps too.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

"It's my party and I cry if I want to".
I find swearing women a major turn off.

But the answer to both q's is 'Yes' - suit yourselves.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Life is simple when you're 10.

Adulthood - probably late 30s, when your professional, personal, economic situation is stable, and you can enjoy to the fullest the few years before you enter the midlife crisis period and run off with a 18y.o. in your new Porsche.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

After 8 pm on Saturdays.

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

Live? No. I've seen photos, documentaries, read books.Jarek A. edytował(a) ten post dnia 09.01.09 o godzinie 19:05

Thanks to Violetta Ptasińska for this week's questions!

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

I have special understandings with many people in different ways. Like Jarek, I'm not buying telepathy. It's emapthy and all that stuff.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

I don't mind if a woman swears. I can't think of one right now, whom I know, who does, though. As for a dude cryin'? Hey...let it out, man :))) I don't cry. I made a couple tears in the summer off being completely angry...I couldn't chew up the world and spit it out, so I had a couple tears instead (and I was right). Not a cryer. It's not in me. I see it, though, and it's okay.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Pre 5 when it's still normal to be egocentric - think the world revolves around you :)

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Always :) It should be right, though.

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

No. It seems like I should have, but no.

yes, there is. feelings?:)))

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

men also cry. People used to say that real men cry. Other say that only men with small nuts - cry. I do not know. I think that it is human trait. Also it depends why they cry...

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

each age has its own problems. ,aybe childhood, maybe youth?teenageers? Hard to say:)

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Thanks to Violetta Ptasińska for this week's questions!

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

There is. Fortunately. I’d feel lonely and alienated if such person didn’t exist.
It does not have anything to do with telepathy. I guess it’s all about having the same views and opinions on life and things.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain
your opinion.

Both crying and swearing (I don’t mean using swear-words as commas) is a way of expressing emotions. We have equal rights to express our emotions, regardless of our gender.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Carefree childhood. Pity you don’t know it when you’re 6 y.o.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

The thing I hate the most is being manipulated, so I highly appreciate people who talk openly about their intentions towards me.

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient orld?

Well, there’s only one of them still standing, right? No, I haven’t seen The Pyramid.

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

Yes, but it has nothing to do with telepathy. We simply know each other for so many years and went through so many things together that we understand each other almost without words. And this is my best friend.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

honestly - I'm suprised that Violetta aska this. So does it mean that men and women are not equal? I think we are equal thus both sexes can do both - crying and swearing

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Mid 30-ties. You are already grown up but still young.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

At any times

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

Taking into account that not all them survived till our times I have seen Great Pyramid of Giza - the only one that stays

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

Few people around that do understand me even without any words..
Or they speak the words that I actually would.
Minds alike. Stream of awareness/consciousness.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

It's ok to cry, it's ok to swear. We need to get rid of emotions somehow. So we dont start eating ourselves out from within.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Everyone misses childhood - easily cause You had not alot to worry about. I'm okay with my own age now. Healthy, filled with energy and going for stabilization.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Always, I value honest opinions no matter good or bad.

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

None, unfortunately.

Thanks to Violetta Ptasińska for this week's questions!

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

Yes, there is, and I'm not sure whether it has got anything to do with telepathy, coincidence, or simply being able to read each other like a book because we've been quite close for a long time. It might be the fact that he is my astrological twin brother, born just one hour later, has got identical initials, and rolls his "r's" in a similar way, don't you think?
We've kind of drifted apart, but keep emailing each other to talk about the kids, and I often find myself opening my mailbox to write him and discovering an email from him already sitting there.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

There are moments in life when you just have to cry; I don't like it when a man is a sissy though.
Similarly, sometimes you've just got to swear, and I do it occasionally. Nothing wrong with that, as long as you don't say "fuck" every fifth word. I hate the hypocrisy of putting asterisks in f-words. It's fucking silly.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Any. You should appreciate what you've got now.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Always. Especially when it comes to relationships. I'd rather hear he's got someone else rather than worry that he's working too hard and has to spend half the night in the office.

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

I generally have quite a strong understanding with people (except for some men :) but I believe it's thanks to my intuition and empathy, not telepathy. I have no idea if there is telepathy at all. Never experienced that.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explainyour opinion.

YES. It is ok for men to cry provided that they don't do it too often.
NO. It is not ok for women to swear, but I swear like hell!

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Mine. Don't have any choice...

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Most of the times.

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

Not yet.

Thanks to Violetta Ptasińska for this week's questions!

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

yes, they are, and many times it is changing - depending on the closeness of the relationship. I think that this kind of telepathy might be in people familly-related (like brother and sister) as well as might develope in people who just are together

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

Everybody may cry - if he feels like the same - is with swearing, It doesn't depend on gender. Of course - as everybody knows - there are some stereotypes, but I thinks there are already dissapearing

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.>

every age is great to be - it just depends on how do you spend you time and your life-energy. Of course - that I miss my innocent happy childchood, crazy years during studies - but I am also very happy with theese moments of my life - in this age ;)

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

always - no matter on the subject

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

Thanks to Violetta Ptasińska for this week's questions!

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

Yeah. That's what being best friends is about. There's no telepathy, not even between identical twins (fact verified). It's more about looking in the same direction - works not only for couples.

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

It's ok for everyone to cry. Why should women be privileged in this matter?

WHen it comes to swearing, I might find it off-putting, but then, there's no reason while it should be any more disturbing when a woman swears than when a man does.
I think swearing has to be somewhat 'credible' in that it should be done in a right situation and with a right force / tone of voice. I think creative swearing is a skill and it's got nothing to do with what you might hear on the street. Swearing can also be quite sexy, but then again, you've got to be in the right frame of mind when you do it ;)

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Always the one I am at any given time.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Any time except when I've had one drink too many.

5. Have you ever seen any of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World?

HAve seen the Pyramides and feel kind of disappointed (quite expectedly, anyway). Perhaps because the Egyptians have made such a circus out of this tourist attraction - you can still appreciate it, but it's more difficult when everyone is nagging you for bakshish around the place.

I've also seen the Colosseum and yes, it is a great place.

What I'd really want to see is Stonehenge at dawn / dusk, preferably equipped with a monocular and a tripod. Never managed to do it during all my years spent in the UK. I don't think it makes into the list though.

Exactly Colosseum and Stonehenge are not in the list of original ancient 7 wonders.

My little brother. It comes simply from me nursing him when he was a baby :)

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

I always cry when my girlfriend starts swearing at me. Apart from that is a dosed use for any gender acceptable.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

Depends on the state of mind. So any age is the best age when you feel like it/are satisfied with yourselve.

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

Any time.

I prefer building them myself :) (Thanx and kudos to Sid Meier!)

I do, my wife aside I know two other people with whom I can relate to on more than one level.

Sure, why not we are only human after all.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

haha.. I think anything before you turn 18 and start being a "responsible young adult". No bills, no worries, no job... it just doesn't get much better than that. Then again, I like being my age right now and raising kids, being independent and being able to make life altering decisions.

1. Is there another person in the world with whom you have a special understanding? How do you explain it? Does it have anything to do with telepathy?

no not really but my mother has this with her sister , its weird they know how each other feel and what they are thinking and when the other one is in pain or trouble, can't really explain it but it is uncanny

2. Is it OK for men to cry? Is it OK for women to swear? Explain your opinion.

yes of course it is, men should cry and not bottle up emotions, its a good way to let go, grieve or release tension far better than drink or violence, why shouldn't women swear , they certainly aren't angels and neither are men, again its a good way to release pent up emotions or anger and although it doesnt sound good from either sex , its better than other ways of relieving the tension.

3. What is the best age to be? Give your reasons.

In Poland ? Under 45 if you are over 40 everyone presumes you are like a grandad, employers are prejudiced against you and generally life becomes harder, about 35 for a guy , you have grown up (maybe!) and you appreciate family , wife, kids if you have them, if not then you start to see the value of this and i think men mellow a little and find life easier and they are easier to get on with

4. At what times do you appreciate people being honest with you?

All the time no matter how horrid the news or catastrophic better the truth than lies and living a lie
