Would You??

Depends on how much money i had...at the moment I'm broke from Christmas shopping so it would be $0. But if i was collecting over a long period of time I'd be willing to spend a few thousand, just dont wanna give up some much $ all at once.

Same Q

If I really wanted the books I would figure out how to finance it, even if it meant saving over a long period of time. And that goes for just about anything I truly want. But I wouldn't just plunck down my life's savings all at once for anything without careful consideration.

Would you tell your coworker that he/she had a bat in the cave?

....i have no idea what that means so ill pass it along....:confused:

A "bat in the cave" is a booger. I have one coworker who takes herself so seriously and as she was giving out orders and being a condescending winch, she had a booger in her nose that jiggled a little as she spoke.

In this situation, would you interupt her, burst her bubble and say, "you have a booger, do you mind?" or would you just nod at her, focusing on the booger? Or something.

Depends on the person, when I worked at a tavern there was a bartender who always used to ask me before he went out if he had any "boogs" than he'd tilt his head back so I could get a good look. It was so weird at first, but eventually I got used to telling him right away and checking all the time even on other people at work (before that I'd ignore it). Now, usually guys I'll tell, but it's kind of akward to tell a girl that....so I just leave it to the next person :D .
Same question.

If i knew the person fairly well, and they seemed like the type who wouldnt mind being told, but if i had just met them then no.

If you were at a party at a friends place and had mentioned you had a sore back, and someone you just met at the party offered a massage, would you take it?

No way- my back is too sensitive for me to let som random person be rubbing up all over me. Besides, they'd probably try to do something anyways, and that's not cool.

Would you ever face your fears (all of them) for someone you love?

To put it simply, yes :) If someone i loved was ever in dangeri would completely forget they were even my fears

Same question

Have. Broke me of my fear of blood. Had to save my brother's life when I was 17, he was 13 and bleeding to death from a slash in his leg. I had never seen so much blood in my life, and usually I'd pass out at just a few drops. I packed him in my arms to the car, picked up a friend to help hold pressure on the wound and broke every driving law in the State getting him to the hospital. Normally, I was a fairly timid driver in town. Not then. Old Allen was dying. He has a horrible scar, but I don't fear blood, or diving in to help save anyone's life.

Good question. Keep it going!:thumbs_up

I can do anything for love. I will do it....:D

same question

If it concerns any of my family and friends, I would. No questions asked. I, too, am hemophobic, Uncle Pen, and just a small cut around the finger made by a knife, when it drips blood, makes my eyes see gray, my surroundings spin and afterwards would feel nauseous. Then my heart would race thrice than normal. If that's not a phobia, then I don't know what is.

But for example, if I'm given Uncle Pen's situation, I would've done the very same thing, phobia and traffic rules all broken, what the heck. I would've probably forgotten it already. Well, ofcourse, there is that initial reaction of fear and wanting to run when you see that red liquid dripping and flooding from human skin but that's perfectly understandable. But afterwards, if the thought of blood overcomes that of the thought of your relative in need, then I say go to a mental ward. Both for phobic and compassion reasons.

But ofcourse, that's only me. http://www.websmileys.com/sm/fam/fam19.gif

Keep the question going!

It is interesting the way the brain handles emergencies. I have passed out at the sight of blood and gone into shock (blood pressure dropping to dangerously low numbers, cold sweat, gray pallor, rapid-thready heartbeat) when donating blood. Twenty years ago I had a motorcycle accident in a desolated area of mountains. The five carpals of my left hand were dislocated, making my hand deform from my arm at a strange angle, and a chunk of my calf was gouged out and torn away. Instead of going into shock or even feeling pain, I simply did what I needed to do: pick up the motorcycle and carry/drag it off the road; walk a mile and a half to a filling station I had passed to call for help; assist with getting the motorcycle into the back of my friend's pickup truck; and endure the ride down the mountain to the hospital. However, the instant I was on the guerney and my riding boot was removed and about a pint of blood was poured out of it onto the floor... I passed out!

Overcoming fear-- for whomever and for whatever reason-- comes not from actually overcoming the fear (that takes time and mind-training) but from pushing through it oblivious because something else is more important.

New question: would you do something "stupid", which in this context means harmful to yourself, to save a loved one or friend?

i think i would, i do alot of stupid things without helping anyone(it´s kind of my motto) and if it helps my friends all the better
would you jump half naked in to a whole in a frozen river( i did)
by the way that story had a llot of nice imagry(nice meaning realistic) but it almost made me pass out reading it i can't deal with the word gouge, gives me the shivers

No way. I can't stand ice cold water. Plus no one would want to see me half naked. Not a pretty sight. :D

Same Q.

If I wanted to, absolutely. There isn't alot I won't do-- although here, I'd like the comfort of knowing that half naked meant relatively covered up...

Would you risk losing something you love for someone you love? (Thing can be action or material...)
