Questions Game

Can we just get on with the game? There are other threats for this find of stuff.

Are you afraid of death?

No. Are you?

Don't feel ready for it just yet 'young lady' however, to consider there being a fear of it, would be a pointless exercise. Emotions will fade away all together eventually, don't you think?

Well-that's just the way the cookie looks like it crumbles but hey- we might as well have a bit of fun in the meantime and who knows but that if we are very, very good we might end up screwing angelic creatures which ask for nothing in return until the end of eternity whenever that might be.

Have scientists persuaded you to give up hope?

Mathos asked:

I'm answering your question Mathos because Spendius didn't- but I think the answer has to be a vague and non-specific, "it depends". Emotions are subjective and individual to a person or situation- some fade and some don't.
Spendius asked:

No. Have you ever felt a non-scientifically based emotion such as hope?
If so, for what have you hoped?

*Hope you guys are doing well and enjoying the season. If I don't talk to you again, have a lovely holiday!

yes, I have hoped for inner peace.

What do you think the future holds?

More of the same I expect. Long periods of boredom interspaced by the Six O'Clock News.

How do you answer a question by being vague and non-specific?

How do both answer and submit, with such idiotic prancing about, are you drinking reindeer juice?


Hello Aidan, your wishes are reciprocated, why did it take you so long to get back, I thought you had more spunk in you than you have shown...Especially for a good old southern Texan..?

(All the best for Christmas and New Year, remind me to tell you what happened with Ralph again!!!! This week has been idiotic.) :wink:

my answer is...... i not texican

wat is every one doing for xmas

Well let me explain our Jewish connection with a large toy factory.

At nine o'clock in the morning on Christmas Day, we meet up at the factory with all the Company Directors, a selection of heavy investors and their immediate families. We then inspect all of the empty shelves and video connect to our other 193 factories throughout the planet, we view the empty shelves at each factory in turn, Following this, we congregate in the main hall and joyously sing:-

'What a friend we have in Jesus.'

What do you do?

The usual. Eating, drinking, sleeping and a couple of other biological necessities which I'm sure you won't need reminding of.

Do you wear a veil?

Only when I'm robbing banks.


Do you have problems with creating Christmas joy?

Yes, this year especially. It just seems that I'm the only one around here who cares.
It's been a rough year with my son, whose personality has totally changed seemingly over night and he made a decision last night that impacted me negatively yet once again, and I blew a gasket and flipped out. I broke a kitchen chair, (my second one this fall-somehow we're always in the kitchen when this stuff comes up- and even though I got them from free-cycle, it's still a horrible waste that I feel guilty about).
I was just so frustrated- I was looking for things to throw and there were none at hand, so I snatched my glasses off my face and threw them to the floor, and even as they hit the floor, I thought to myself, "That's your only pair of glasses Rebecca- it'll be bad if you break those" (my eyes are something like 20/500- so I need those glasses at night so I can give my eyes a rest from my contacts- miraculously they didn't break). I also knocked over the Christmas tree and then just screamed - "Just get it over with - just kill me right now" over and over. And even as I said that, I knew I was being dramatic and manipulative.
So after it was all over, I felt ashamed - but better. And I called my friend Jenny whose father was an alcoholic who used to do primal scream therapy to help him cope as he was drying out - and I talked with her about it. She said, "Geez, that's a little dramatic, Rebecca- but it's good that you broke stuff instead of physically attacking a person or something."
I told her I felt better than I had in a couple of months-kind of cleansed and emptied of all the anger, sadness, disappointment and frustration I'd been feeling about the whole situation. It was also good to make a confession and have her help me feel alright about my tantrum. But she said (and she's right) that it's not good to let yourself get to that point too often- but not to be too hard on myself and try to think of it as an adult tantrum.
And then I realized - so this is why toddlers throw tantrums- it feels so good to get it all out- and in the long run it's probably healthier and less expensive than the illnesses that can fester when you hold all that stuff in.
Anyway - I redecorated the Christmas tree, and I have to say it looks better than it did before, so now I feel ready to forgive myself, approach my son with a more forgiving and accepting spirit and try to celebrate Christmas.
Hope you enjoyed my little Christmas story- aren't you glad you asked?

Anyone else have any crazy Christmas stories?

It's what you call growing up on your son's behalf. Your being over protective no doubt and laying down your interpretation of how he should be acting and or behaving. The tantrum, broken chair and glasses on the floor was a silly episode, as you well know Aidan.

No doubt you have been telling him how everything you do is for him!

When really it's how you want him to be, which might be totally alien to his psyche or genetic make up. I think I mentioned to you some time back that you were keeping him far to tightly attached to your apron strings?

Oh, I know you mean well and you worry a lot about the future for him, but I'm afraid you have to let him discover much of lifes hidden traits for himself.

I hope you had a nice Christmas though and that things have settled down, be careful though Aiden, or you will drive him out.

Take care.

Thanks Mathos - I know you're right- but it's hard to remember that. I'm trying though..

Did anyone get a gift this Christmas that they didn't even know they wanted until they got it, and then they realized it was just perfect for them at this point in time?
for example: I got a dvd of Saturday night live, best of Chris Rock. I would never have thought to ask for that - but I know it'll bring me hours of laughter.

How about anyone else?

Not me Aidan, I give everybody I know a list of what I want, it's cheeky I know, but it saves all that junk being wrapped up that you don't want or won't wear.



Do you ever buy somebody a present knowing you only picked it because you would like it as a gift?

no i dont cause the things i want are all expensive


what is ur veiw on the bush fire situation, should we have done controled burning or let nature take its course like it has?

When I read your previous post my first response was "wow, that must be hard and confusing to deal with". It appears you are a strong woman to realize, admit, talk and try to deal with what you are going through. I admire that in a person.
To answer your question, no, I didn't get any Christmas gifts. I have my dog and that is all I want.
Good luck and I hope your New Year brings everything you need and want.

Mathos,
I never buy someone a present based on what I would want. That would be selfish to do (IMO only).
soul_collector,
I think if we can control something like a fire that may endanger others, we should do all we can.

What plans do you have to bring in the New Year?
