Money is a motivation in some decisions but a lot of the time ,you have to do what is right and what sits well with the conscience . Those are the rules I follow even if it means less money or no money.

Much less now than when I was younger.

At our demise, when we come face to face with our maker and are accountable for all we have done, what would you like the summary of your time on earth to read?
post #303 of 953
7/10/12 at 4:32pm
That I loved. In the end that is all that matters.

Do you like spinach in any form? (*Goes off to check on spanakopitas in oven*)
post #304 of 953
7/10/12 at 4:33pm
That I loved my Maker and my husband, that I was a good wife.


Oops, I am so slow..I love spinach..and no, I wouldn't want that on my summary. Only raw spinach I like..

Kalli - : I fought the good fight, I did what was right and was basically a good person in life.

30 Roses : I adore spinach ! I put spinach in my meat lasagnas and in my low fat turkey meatloafs. The family still believe in Popeye and his spinach can !

Are you a vegetarian or have you tried being a vegetarian ?

Was vegetarian for 8 years! Meaning no meat but I had dairy, eggs sometimes. Then I, well, I became Christian(not to talk about religion at all), it was all over. So many potlucks..not enough time!

I was vegan for about 3-4 years and found it hard because I looked like death warmed up ,gave myself gout from eating beans all the time ( yes it true ! ) so I went back to being a vegetarian . All in all 12 years or so ......

Do you ride ( horseback ) ?
post #308 of 953
7/10/12 at 4:42pm
Wow, Being vegan is tough. Ya, some vegans seem really pale idk why!

Never been on horse.

Leather .

Who is your favorite shoe designer and what do you think of those roman type flat sandals women are wearing these days ?
post #312 of 953
7/10/12 at 5:16pm
Oh..not the Roman shoes! lol..pet peeve I think on that one, lol.

Oh ya, a note about being vegetarian, I still don't eat beef or any other red meat really. Just personal taste.

Favorite? Oh gosh, idk..whatever is on sale that's nice. Jimmy Choo had some interesting ones last time I checked.


But anyway..

do you feel it's important to give to charities?
post #313 of 953
7/10/12 at 5:21pm
Re. shoes- for the record - I cannot stand those roman sandals - I don't think it does anything for anyone's legs !

Yes, it's important and to choose a good charity as well .

Is your laughter contagious?
post #318 of 953
7/10/12 at 9:21pm
I like to think so. Once I get the giggles, I laugh till I cry and usually I do set someone else off.

Have you ever got the giggles in a public place ?
post #319 of 953
7/10/12 at 9:28pm
In church, during a solemn moment. The more you try to suppress it, the worse it gets.

What kind of chocolate do you like best?
post #320 of 953

Dark, then white, then milk.

post #321 of 953
7/10/12 at 9:33pm
Ohh, do I have to choose ? I love dark first too - Ghanian dark chocolate is just out of this world good. I found some Meiji black chocolate in Asia last year and ate so much of it, the store ran out of stock for a while ......the best I've ever had.
*sigh *

What are your most favorite foods ?
post #322 of 953
7/10/12 at 9:42pm
Eggs, hands down as the top choice. Also greens, mangoes, persimmons, and soups of all kinds.

post #323 of 953
7/10/12 at 9:56pm
Oh, I do like soups and salads, and, as my doctor tells me often, a host of other things.

Is a fragrance-free hospital and governmental buildings the right direction that we are apparently headed for - see this article which was referenced in a Mens Fragrance Discussion thread http://www.app.com/usatoday/article/...yssey=obinsite ?
post #324 of 953
7/10/12 at 10:17pm
It feels like Prohibition to me ,in many ways. I don't see how it can be implemented practically. Also someone brought up an interesting argument against the idea on the Fragrance Industry Forum . Most cleaning products used in these types of places like government buildings and hospitals do reek so I don't know how that can be changed. It feels like the beginning of a new silent war against anything remotely joyous. Killjoys.
To place cigarette smoke in the same category as fragrance just annoys me. I want to see the rationale and fool proof studies that show inhaling 2nd hand scent from someone's body or clothes causes cancer and until then , they can't place fragrance next to cigarette smoke.
How about sick building syndrome ? That is worse than fragrance. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sick_building_syndrome
What will they do about the paints used on walls and mold ,dust etc. It's an endless war but of course they pick the easiest target , scent. I think there has to be compromise - not an outright ban .
Rant over.

People seem to be allergic to ever more substances. Doesn't help that they are using non-natural, toxic materials to put down tile or carpet. And paint, nothing natural about that. I don't think it's the right direction, and they don't need to pick on fragrances when so many other substances are the real problem. Hospitals may become cold, sterile feeling places again.

What do you take for pain?

Ibuprofen liquid gels usually. Acetaminophen less often.

When you pick up prescriptions, do you check to make sure the correct medication was dispensed, and in the right dose?
post #328 of 953

Always.

I check right there at the pharmacy counter before paying (they cannot be returned afterward even if there was a mistake.) Very careful with my mother's meds in particular.

Have you ever been affected by a medication dispensing error?

Thankfully no . I could see how it would a nightmare though.

Do you think the computer age has ultimately been good for the world or made things worse ?

Don't think so, no. I think most of the odd looking creatures I see are humans.

Did you, or will you, read Fifty Shades of Grey and how did you find it? Or do you know someone who has read it and immediately turned into a S&M sex fiend as so many supposedly do?
post #335 of 953
7/11/12 at 4:39am
Some people at work have read it.lol That Mr Grey sure knows how to treat women though I doubt I will ever read it. At least with the controversy surrounding the book we dudes are off the hook as it was written by a woman.lol

How many mirrors are on the walls of your home?

I am anything but trendy. I have clothes that date back to when my daughter was a small child.
