Getting to Know me on Tuesday

My favorite questions from my readers on Tuesday

• Have you ever snooped around someone else's house?

Snooped? Like going into non-company areas and go through things? No. But I have scanned around a room to take in everything making mental notes. But I do it to try and get ideas myself of something I might want to do at my house as well.

• Can guys and girls be friends?

If they are truly good moral people then yes. Confused by that answer? Well... I think that it IS possible. If neither are married or committed to a relationship then whatever sparks may occur naturally is no harm and my even be "meant to be". But if either (or both) ARE married or committed to someone else then you have to be careful of a CLOSE friendship with someone of the opposite sex. These are the people that you go to when you need to talk or need advice and sometimes those things involve your significant other and it could cause unnecessary feelings of jealousy (or worse) if you're sharing information, gripes about your hubby with another man (or vice versa).

• Can you curl your tongue?

Okay I checked in the mirror. I knew that I could do this years ago but it's been so long since I tried, I wasn't sure if I still could. Yes... I can still curl my tongue. :)

• Have you ever stolen anything?

I have a confession. I have a pen fetish. I have taken pens from the doctor's office... on occasion. Not just every pen I use. But the pharmaceutical sales reps bring loads of some of the coolest pens. I know that we even have some marketers from various places come to our office (Home Health Care & Hospice agency) and leave handfuls of pens as advertisement. It wasn't something we paid for and if they disappear, no big deal. They were free. So I know that those cutesy or unusual pens... and those that just feel good in your hand and write perfectly... were just freebies passed out as advertisement anyway. And after all, that Viagra pen (one of my favorites) is one I might someday in the future want to remember to tell someone about... Right? :)

• Would you rather talk on the phone or text?

Depends on the person, the subject, what else I'm doing. Normally a text is easier, quicker to just deliver a quick message. The recipient can view and/or reply at their convenience. DH texts me grocery items and I'd prefer that over a call. Sometimes it's just not really the best. You don't catch up with an old friend via text. That is a phone call I enjoy! Sometimes a text can be entertaining. For instance. My mother (love ya mom!) wanted to learn how to text. So I was giving her (by phone) a few quick steps. She was trying it out and I got a couple of completely blank texts. At least she figured out how to send one right? Baby steps :) Then, sitting at my desk at work I get this text that I STILL have in my phone for a chuckle from time to time...

"Lolcantfigureouthowtoseparatethewords"

Gotta love my mother's willingness to embrace the newer technology. My dad on the other hand still drives (half mile) to my house when he gets an AT&T push message, so I can "get that notice off my screen". I've showed him how to delete it, more than once but hey... I guess I can say he needs me. :)

• What do you do to relax?

I don't get to nearly as often as I'd like but I LOVE to soak in a Hot, Hot, Hot bubble bath with a good book. It's relaxing and totally ME time. I have been known to drain out a little water and add more HOT water for a longer soak if I'm not quite ready to get out. :o)
