    Hee-hee. My "stylist" is my wife and I use what she recomends, which is whatever happens to be on sale! But in the given situation, no, the guy's probably getting kick-back for everyone he can get to use the product. Had a doctor once who told me I should drink bottled water. Then he specified Aquafina. I check lables. The cheaper stuff says the same thing. Turns out he has stock in the company that bottles Aquafina.

    No, I have no interest in politics, and this doesnt seem a very interesting challenge for me to accept.

    How long can you postpone an important project, if your career or your degree depended on it??

    Until the moment passes and there is nothing left to do but accept the consequences.


    How long can you kick yourself after blowing something important to your career or self-esteem?

    Usually until the next opportunity presents itself.

    Would you wear a retainer even though you had straight teeth?

    Hee. We never had the money when I was a kid to get my teeth straightened. The front two bend in, (my sister's bend out!), and aproaching my 46th birthday I'm not vain enough to have it done now!

    Would you finally tell a charity to leave you alone if you had made a donation that was a sacrifice for you at the time, and you simply cannot do more—you wish you could but you can't— and you've tried to explain this to them, but they waste more than you gave on mail trying to get more money?

    I think that I would definitely point that out to them! I understand that charities need to keep in contact with donors, but there comes a point when it is not fiscally productive to keep at it.
    (If only the UM Alumni society felt the same way. . .)

    Would you quit your job and move yourself to a distant city to maintain a relationship with someone you had known for less than a month, or would you do the long distance thing?

    I wouldn't quit for someone I hadn't known less than a month unless I really hated my job. But I had such a hard time getting the job I have that I would be really afraid unless I knew for sure that something fabulous would come of me just dropping everything for that person. But if I were pretty confident that I could find work in any town, I would go for it.


    And I guess I would tell those charities to stop sending me notes because they are wasting postage --- the alumni association at my old school won't be getting a dime from me anytime soon and I really need to tell them that. Maybe they will stop sending me all that junk mail. But it probably won't do any good. I have notified them several times that I have a new address and a new name and they continue to send it to my mom's house.

    Would you tell your husband's family that you didn't want any gifts from them for Christmas because you can't afford to buy gifts for them?

    Actually, as our extended family grew, my wife and I decided to do just that, and we draw names at Christmas for the children to see that the kids are not left out. Both sides of the family agreed, and it has worked nicely.

    Do you feel that any type of religious meaning has been crushed out of Christmas by the merchandising? I mean, they start the Christmas stuff in stores often before Halloween is even over, and certainly before Thanksgiving!

    Yes, Christmas is about sales revenue more so than about Christ. But since we can't have prayer in school or the 10 commandments posted at the court house then I guess we should expect that.

    Would you get rid of the cat because she hurled on your couch?

    haha, no. I usually perform an emergency evacuation of cat to the outdoors, whenever she starts to do her coughing rutine...

    Would you?

    Probably easier to get rid of the couch. And stop feeding the cat.

    I'm an atheist who celebrates Christmas because it's basically unavoidable in my area and because I'm "celebrating the joy of others." Plus my parents are Christianish.

    I have two cats and would get rid of niether. I personally feel that Christmas has little to do with Christ, and He told us to "shew forth His death til He come" not His birth, anyway. (Put down the pitchforks and torches! )

    How many pets would you consider too many?

    One, if I was living on my own, but as it is, my parents have three cats, which I love very much they're just very funny, with wonderful characters, but the dog beats them all hands down, he has to be the best dog in the world. Anyway, I don't want pets when living on my own, which should be soon.

    Would you drink a beer with your friends eventhough you know it's going to be late and you have to get up early in the morning?

    well yeah, beer is good and friends should be cherished.

    Would put your leg in an alligator's mouth on a dare?
