Lucky you, Idril!
Best thing: I can't think any :(. I live in big city with severe traffic jams, pollution, and high criminal rate. The only thing that makes me able to hold on is only my family :).
Now, what's the worst thing?

Lucky you, Idril!
Best thing: I can't think any :(. I live in big city with severe traffic jams, pollution, and high criminal rate. The only thing that makes me able to hold on is only my family :).
Now, what's the worst thing?
The worst thing is that it's in the middle of nowhere. :lol: We're 6 hours from a city of any significant size, there are no concerts to speak of, there is very little in the way of an artistic culture, plays and art galleries and that sort of thing, although I do have to say the city does try but...we're in the middle of nowhere so it's hard to drum up any real enthusiasm from the general public. And the shopping is marginal at best.
What is your favorite breed of dog?
Probably golden retriever (spell check) as seen on TV. But I never had a dog...only gold fish :D
Where's this remote place you living in?
Bismarck, North Dakota. It's actually the state capitol but when you're talking about the most rural state of the union, that's not saying much.
What was your gold fish's name?
My first goldfish name was Gembul (fat in English). He died because of soap left overs because I didn't wash the bowl thoroughly. My current one is also named Gembul and he is much fatter than his predecessor :D
And I'm such an idiot for asking the previous Q because you clearly stated it in your profile :D.
Why cat snore?
I don't know. Are you asking why do cats snore or do cats score? I don't know. I don't think my cat snores. She sleeps near me everynight because she wants to watch over us I think and I have never been aware of any snoring.
Do you think that American businesses are becoming more or less customer-friendly?
I don't know. I'm not American.
Don't you think the weather is hotter these days?
Actually here it's a mild summer. Very hot to me, but cooler than usual.
Are you currently feeling hot, cold, or just right?
My feet are a little cold, but the rest of me is just right.
Do you prefer hot or cold weather ?
oh thats difficult see when its cold you can put more clothes on but my knuckles tend to swell up and become painful. But the heat puts me in a perminatant snappish mood I get headaches I cant sleep .
yeah I think Ill go with cold.
If you could live anywhere ( lets say on earth) where would it be? and would you live ther perminatly or just for a while?
London..for few months only ;)
Same Q!
Perhaps, Canada, and parmanently!
Same question.
Umm....Australia.........permanently.
Same Q.
Definately Shimla & permanently.
In this thread who do you think posts the most difficult questions ?
I defer to Mono.
Same question.
Again, Mono. But sometimes you, Pendragon!
What was the most interesting part of your day today?
Painting with the kids at work. We were using apple halves as stamps, dip them in paint and then stamp the paper and one of the little boys smacked it down on the paper quite hard and paint splattered all over me. I did manage to clean it off my face, but I spent the rest of the day with red, green and yellow paint all over my clothes and hair. Hazards of the job. :lol:
Do you consider your childhood to have been happy?
My childhood was happy up until the age of 12 and I still haven't decided if this is because I had some preconceived notion of what things were supposed to be like as opposed to what they were actually like...then again, it could have been adolescence coming on.
Did anyone have a happy adolescence
The term 'happy adolescence' seems like a bit of an oxymoron. No, I had an unhappy adolescence, but I have encountered very few individuals who have had a pleasant adolescence. Needless to say, a lot seems in transition, motivated greatly by the alteration in hormones and neurochemicals. In essence, I consider myself to have had a relatively common adolescence: miserable. :lol:
To the person below me: just as in The Catcher In The Rye, what event in your life made you realize that you had reached adulthood and/or advanced adolescence?
That would have been around age 12 when I realized that if I didn't work, there was a possibility that we might not eat. And please do not think I am kidding, mama raised three kids in the 60's and 70's with no child support, little government help, and never made more than $5000 in one year in her life. Calling us poor was like saying water is damp. We survived, made mama proud of us all. It is where you came from in life; it's where you make up your mind to go. As a disabled man today, I have everything I want. I worked hard all those years, and I took care of my family. I have a credit record that is the envy of many people. I worked for that, paid my bills on time, never late.
My kids work because they want to, not because it's necessary.
Sermon over. Pass the question.
Periods.
Same Question. (Good one!)
Hey Penzy, nobody turns into an adult at the age of 13. Believe me you are still a baby!;) It'll take you another 8-10 years before you start forming definite and rigid opinions about the world around you. The distinctive character of an adult is to dismiss every single fact or opinion that is inconsistent with his/her opinion.Quote:

Somewhere between 17 – 21 one starts feeling that one has seen and experienced everything there is to see and experience. And, by 25 one should have formed lasting opinions about the world around him/her. In my opinion, regardless of the age prescribed by law, a person becomes an adult once he/she starts forming lasting and rigid opinions (irrespective of the opinion being right or wrong).
However, I will add, there are always exceptions to the general rule. And I am one of them.
Same Q.

When you realize it's not all about you anymore, that you are responsible for another life, that your actions and decision affect not only you but the life and mental health of your children. It's a very sobering thought.
**edit**
I forgot to ask a question! :blush:
What is the best and worst thing about being the age you are right now?
Good Question:
I'm 36.
Best: More available funds to do the things I want to do.
Worst: It takes just a tiny bit longer to recover.
Same question:
What is the best and worst thing about being the age you are right now?
Sort of the same thing actually: there are so many opportunities for everything-relationship and friendship-wise, growing spiritually and academically, but in that there are so many hard choices and times when I could go so wrong.
What age do you look forward to most right now, however old you may be?
I am not looking forward to being any age, I want to be 3yo again. My only concern then was how much mud I could trapse into the house before the mother complained, now I have bills, rent and a bunch of headaches
Same Q
I like my age now, but being 18 will be fun because I can work at Starbucks, and better yet, can finally drive!
What's your favorite number and why? (whether the reason is logical or just random)
22, but only for a few more months, then it will be 23. :) I always like my age.
What kind of epiphanies have you had in your life?
That I am capable of love, but too stupid to recognize it until it is gone.
Same Q.
That it is better to give your friendship and trust to someone with few friends because they are unlikly to turn around and bite your hand off. ( hey I was only just nearly 6 at the time)
same q
That sometimes even the closest of friends will stab you in the back...
Same question
My heart is brittle too..................
same Q.
That your own family members will stab you in the back
Same Q
That life is just way too complicated, and you have to learn to deal with it.
How has someone close to you changed your life within the past week?
Believe it or not, you guys on the LitNet helped pull me through one of the worst bouts of depression I've ever had. You think you're not close to me? Think again! http://www.websmileys.com/sm/love/302.gif
Would you always try to help the other person if they cannot help themselves?
Yes, even if I have to put aside what I am doing to help them.
Same q.
Yes, even at the risk of my own personal sanity and safety. Someday I might need that same service.
Next poster: Same question: Would you always try to help another person if they cannot help themselves.
Yes, I would.
Same question but with a twist, Would you help someone who wouldn't help themselves?
Only to a certain extent. For example, there is a man here in town whom I have bought meals for a few times. He could help himself, but he likes the bottle a little too much. He lives in deserted buildings, and does odd jobs for enough money to get by and get drunk. So I won't give him money. But if he needs food, I'll buy him something to eat. I'll give him clothing, blankets, etc. so he doesn't freeze to death. But I won't support his habit. I never give him anything he can pawn for cash to buy drink. But I won't let him starve or freeze.
Another man here in town lives in a tent year 'round. He holds a full-time job. He stays clean. He buys his own groceries. He buys his own warm clothes. He gets around on a bike that he bought. He fishes for his supper sometimes, and he chooses to live like that. But he takes care of himself. The other guy could do the same.
Same question: Would you help someone who can help themselves?
No..........
How would you like to die?
