I've been in a virtually identical situation, Iain, including not believing in omens. I called the person in question and asked if everything was okay, although I didn't mention the dream. She died a few months later, although as it happened a warning from me wouldn't have mattered.
If you caught a really enormous fish, would you stuff it, eat it, or let it go?
It would depend in my mood and what kind of fish it was, I would either eat it or let it go.
If you gave a friend a job and the began slacking off and coming to work late would fire them knowing it could jeopardize the friendship?
They would at least have some explaining to do. In my world, a worker is worthy of his or her hire as long as they can and will do the job right. If it was a friend, my values would not change--no workee, no payee!
Would you take a second job so your spouse could complete collage?
Yes.
Would you require or agree to a pre-nup?
No to both
Would you take any boring class you needed to get your degree? Even if it has nothing to do with your degree?
Yes, if it was required for the degree, I'd take it.
If you met someone you used to badly tease or even bully in Middle School on the street today, and he recognized you and said hello, would you apologize or just talk pleasantly and let it go? (Note: continuing to tease or bully is not an option :)).
I never really bullied anyone honestly, though there was an incident where in grade eight (making me thirteen) I had just transferred to a new school where I had no friends and was seated next to a noticeably weird/awkward guy who I chatted with (call him X) and while we weren't friends we were friendly. Maybe less than a month after I started at the school I decided he was holding me back socially and just took a vacant desk in a group of five people in a bid to gain some friends with social status (I am friends with three of four of them to this day, and one of them could be considered a 'best friend' of sorts), I wasn't accepted right away and while these guys weren't anything like vicious bullies there were a few instances where they made fun of X and I not only didn't defend him but made a joke which consisted of a lie (which I would be ashamed to recount here, not that it was particularly heinous) and I know for a fact that he heard about it, though he never confronted me.
I think that constitutes the worst act of 'bullying' (i was much more offen on the receiving end, growing up) I've ever taken on my own initiative and if I saw him right now I probably would apologize.
Same question.
I would let it go.
If you had to chose would you rather be incredibly stinky or incredibly hairy?
Nature chose for me, and went very hairy
Would you rather dine out or order in?
Depending on my mood I would say order in probably.
To take the other side of the coin on Pompey's question
If you encountered someone who used to bully you would you acknowledge them or confront them in any way?
i have had a few occasions to actually seek out (as opposed to random encounter) people I had wronged in one way or another and have gotten to tell them I am sorry, please forgive me, or alternatively, im sorry and thank you for putting up with me.
ive asked this one before, or one close to it, if you had the opportunity to go back in life and do some things over, would you? (and what would they be?)
Despite the great temptation to kick "younger me" in the duff a few times (or at least have a heart to heart talk), I would not change anything. History and fate are very dynamic, and if you were to fix your early mistakes, you would never end up where you are today. There's just too much I love now to risk that. So face it: your sins are your own. It's just a matter of where you go from there.
Would you accept a good-paying job you knew you weren't really qualified for?
Yes. I'm a fast learner.
Would you sign up to go to Mars?
Sure, as long as I didn't actually have to go.
Would you take up cigarette smoking if all the diseases it causes were suddenly eliminated?
Likely. It will stop migraines... Pretty good for depression as well... It's the cancer thing that stops me now
Would you volunteer for a scientific study that sounded a bit strange, such as remote viewing?
Volunteer as in no pay? Nope.
Would you call 911 if you saw a ghost in your room?
Hahaha, no, I don't know what they could do about it.
Would you ensure that an endangered but salvageable species (tigers, panda bears, etc) go extinct if it meant you could live your life over with all of your memories intact?
No, why would I want to live my life over?
Would you flirt with a cop if you thougt it would get you out if a ticket?
No, I'm sure that would only be digging the hole deeper.
If you lost touch with a good friend for 20 years or more (if you're too young, just imagine), and he or she had committed suicide, would you wan't to know?
Not particularly. Actually a good friend? Yes I would.
Would you be annoyed if your supervisor at work spent around sixty percent of the time flirting with female staff while delegating everything to you? Would you confront him about this?
Not if the pay were good or the job were useful to me for the time being. I doubt I'd stay in that position for long, but I sure wouldn't expect the professional world to be fair. It ain't.
Would you rather go to bed with Cat Woman or Super Girl?
Hands down Cat Woman
Would you rather go the bed with Batman or Superman?
Well, you're very open-minded, DM, but I'd prefer to be good friends--with either really.
Would you rather have a great friend or an okay lover?
Haha I am
A great friend
If you knew there was a fantastic waterfall unlike anything else but to get to it you had to walk through a patch of poison oak, there is no way to go around it, would you do it?
If I could wrap up my legs, sure, but if not, no way. I'll just turn on the faucet and pretend.
What character from literature would you most like to go bowling with?
The first thing that popped into my head was Merlin, ( From the legend of King Arther) I think he would be intersting to talk to plus I kind of want to see some magic bowling ball action, like levitating bowling balls or shooting fire at bowling balls or using a fire ball as a bowling ball. We would probably get kicked out of the bowling alley but it would be worth it.
What fantasy world ( from a book) would you most like to visit?
Xanth, for certain!
Same Question.
Heaven, Aslan's country, Eden, in that order. (No disrespect meant to the religious.)
Suppose you could live one day AS another person, fictional or historical. You'd experience the day as the other person, with something of your own consciousness, and then remember it once you returned to your normal self. What day and person would you pick?
'
Any day I would like to be Captain Kirk and run The Enterprise.
If you could have any super-power what would you choose?
Either time travel or the ability to see through dresses.
Would you voluntarily leave a love relationship if you were convinced you were bad for the other person?
Probably, but how can I possibly be bad for the other person???
Would you date someone that had been in prison for embezzlement, even if it happened 20 years ago and they said they were young and simply got caught up in another persons scheme?
if I had a sense of that she was truly repentant, yes.
ahh---if you had the seeing through women's dresses superpower, would you use it?
Well, not in all cases, no...
Would you be ashamed to cry on a public bus?
Of course. I would be ashamed to cry in most situations.
Would you ever get in a fistfight with someone?
Would and have, but only in self defense. I don't start trouble, but I don't back down.
Would you lay out of work on a flimsy excuse if you had little chance of getting caught?
Yes
Would you take a traffic ticket to court and fight it - cuz your'e pricipled? (they are winnable, but so much time effort)
Depends on the charges. I have went once in my life to get a ticket reduced from reckless driving to improper driving. The difference is over 100 dollars in the fine.
Would you defend your kid in court if you knew he was technically guilty, but there was a good loophole in the law you knew you could use to get the charge dismissed?
Absolutely.
If your 18 year old son wanted to have a sex change operation, would you help him pay for it?
Presuming I had the money to afford it, yes I would
If you were dating someone who wanted to chain themselves to a tree in a protest would you join them to support them?
