Would You??

i have caught snakes in the wild before.

If you wanted to travel to another country would you save money on room and bored by staying in a strangers house for free in return for letting them stay in your house while you are gone?

I'd make sure all my important stuff was securely locked up then I would.

Would you eat a salad without dressing?

I eat salads without dressing, although I admit it's kinky. ;-)

Would you take left over food from a work function when no one was looking?

hell yea, actually that is the custom in the Caribbean.

Would you be a good foreign journalist? (Qualification: covering real/hard stories)

Probably not. The writing isn't really a problem but I have serious problems with deadlines...

Would you do search and rescue work in remote areas?

If I could be any help, sure, but I think it's probably best to leave it to the pros.

Would you be able to forget a painful memory by force of will?

No. God knows I have tried.

When you have an unpleasant dream and wake up, do you find yourself back in the same dream when you fall back asleep?

No not usually

Do you normally remember your dreams?

Yes for a brief spell, however sometimes a dream will be so pertinent that I'll remind myself of it for years after, even to the point where I can remember specific imagery and how the dream uh... looked(?). Last night I had a wicked nightmare and all I remember about it now is that I woke up, laughed to myself about how bizarre it had been and then fell back to sleep and resumed dreaming, but this time only that my roommate removed every appliance from the kitchen and left me a bunch of weird, explanatory notes.

Would you devote all of your time to writing a great work of literature if you knew for certain you would not gain recognition in your lifetime, or even that your book would be entirely censored for the duration of your life?

No, although not for those reasons. I've got too many fun or important things going on in my life to do it, that's all. Plus being remembered for something after my death has no attraction to me at all. How would I even know? Or if I knew in some Afterlife, why would I care? Why would gaining recognition in the still matter? Being dead is a real drain on one's vanity. :)

If you were lost and starving in the wilderness, would you kill and eat your faithful and beloved dog to survive?

heck I don't even think id kill a suicidal squirrel, much less a beloved dog...

i don't even think id eat her if she died before me...

ever see the farside cartoon with the fat and happy dog being rescued in the life raft, presumably after too many days at sea...and there are some human remants (like glasses and clothes) laying about? laughs...and the rescuers are wondering how the dog managed to survive all that time.

same question.

In extremis, I would prioritize returning to my wife over the dog's survival. It would have to be an extreme last resort, though, and by that time the dog would probably be able to kill me in self defense. Or maybe we'd both be dead of thirst before food got to be an issue. But yes, ultimately. I'd do it if I had to.

If you found out that your obnoxious boss was cheating on his wife, would you let her know (anonymously) just to give him grief?

Yes I would, even if the boss wasn't obnoxious I would not feel right about keeping that secret.

Would you be angry if a non-relative ( friend, neighbor, etc.) disciplined your child provided that the child was misbehaving and the discipline was reasonable?

A teacher can do that. Otherwise refer the matter to me and let me take care of it. And yes, depending on the situation, I'd probably be pissed at both of them.

Would you sell your recently deceased mother's jewelry on eBay for over $5,000? You don't really need the money, but you don't much care for the jewelry either. Still, she wanted you to have it.

If I didn't need the money than I probably wouldn't sell but if I didn't intend to wear it thsn I might try and find some artistic use for it instead of just letting it collect dust and take up space.

Your friend has an obnoxious bratty kid and asks if you could babysit for her. Would you do it or come up with an excuse not to?
