It is said that getting forgiveness is often easier than getting permission. What was the last thing for which you needed forgiveness? I had to make a decision on behalf of one of my acct's at work. It actually helped resolve their issue and they wound up thanking me for doing it on their behalf. I just feel funny when I have to do that.
When was the last time you forgave someone else? Very recently on a family matter.
Do you find it easier to forgive others or to ask for forgiveness for yourself? I'd rather ask for forgiveness. People that know me know I am a good person and wouldn't do things maliciously.

Good Monday morning, all, and welcome to our daily conversation! I hope your weekend was a good one, and that you didn’t suffer too much from the weather extremes that have been bedeviling the country of late. South-central Wisconsin cooled down from the mid 100s to “only” the 90s, and it felt downright pleasant. Still no rain, though, and the land is thirsty indeed. This is a rough year to be a farmer, I fear.
But enough of climate catastrophes – we’re here to discuss:
Today’s Question(s):
It is said that getting forgiveness is often easier than getting permission. What was the last thing for which you needed forgiveness?

Do you find it easier to forgive others or to ask for forgiveness for yourself?
I cannot think of a single thing. I'm a big time loner but I'd rather not be. I'm a good person and treat others well.

It's all city here. There is not much to see. But I know of a lot of concert venues in the Washington, DC - Baltimore area that I like to frequent. There is lots to go out and do and see, just not in my community.
If I had to pick one I'd say Brusters ice cream parlor but you may not like ice cream.

Since I never have anyone over I do not have a sofa. I have one chair in the living room which is brown. My office chair is also brown. That's it.
Brown is my favorite color so I'll stick with that.

Extra Credit Question:

The lake, at least once a week. The science museum about 3 x.
Bonus Question:
What color is your sofa?
light Brown

No. Don't like the sofa either.

drawing
What will you create with that talent once you have it?
Drawing from my photos...oh wait, I have software that does that. I don't need no stinkin' talent
It is said that getting forgiveness is often easier than getting permission. What was the last thing for which you needed forgiveness? Wow! What tough questions. In the time I have, I'll do my best... Probably something I said.
When was the last time you forgave someone else? I don't keep a score sheet, so I can't remember. I choose my battles and let go of what I don't want to carry. That doesn't mean I won't remember it the next time "you" start looking like you're trying to poke me.
Do you find it easier to forgive others or to ask for forgiveness for yourself? I can ask for forgiveness. But I keep in mind that forgiveness is not an obligation. Whether I forgive others or not depends on what our history looks like. If you have a history of treating me disrespectfully, I'm much less likely to forgive you. I may still be polite to you in public, but that doens't mean I have any interest in your presence.
Extra Credit Question:
If I visited your community on vacation, what one sight should I make certain to see while I’m there? We have a few interesting things. Pick one? We have a Viet Nam Memorial wall with the names of, I believe, local men who died in that war. I have seen some names from my family, and boys my sisters went to school with on that memorial.
How often have you visited it? Two or three times in eight years.
Bonus Question:
What color is your sofa? What color is my dog?!?! Kind of brown and gold.
If you don’t have a sofa, what color is the upholstered furniture in your living room? I also have a slate blue recliner. Hey, it was free!
Do you like that color? I like the colors of all my furniture just fine.
If not, what color upholstery would you rather have? Can't say that it would matter all that much, as long as it wasn't completely garish.

Anastasia the Art Fairy is stopping by with a special gift for each of you! She will give everyone one artistic talent that they don’t currently have. What artistic talent will you choose? Definitely the ability to draw something purely from my imagination. I can draw anything in front of me, but creating something imaginary, something I cannot "see," completely escapes me.
What will you create with that talent once you have it? Probably some kind of fantasy/geek art. The kind that would sell at Gen Con, Comic-Con, one of those of gamer's conventions.

Good morning all from this green and pleasant land! A lot of questions today, thank you Miz Bookworm. Now then, the last thing I needed forgiveness for, hmm. I guess years ago at a funeral, my ex wife was there. It was a mutual friend who had died. I hadn't seen her for a few years, there was still some bad feeling over events after we split up. I was having back problems, she offered to give me a ride home. During the journey, we had a row. On arriving at my home, anger still simmering between us, she threw me completely with "did you ever really love me David?" My anger just went, and I realised the depth of her hurt. I told her "yes, I did, and I'm sorry I hurt you so bad." The last time I forgave someone else, was my Mother on her deathbed. If any of you visited me, I would take you over to Blackpool to see the tower, and we'd eat fish and chips! The colour of my sofa is sorta beige, with a pale flowery pattern in the material. Two matching chairs the same. Have a nice day everyone.
It is said that getting forgiveness is often easier than getting permission. What was the last thing for which you needed forgiveness? Well, I uh....
When was the last time you forgave someone else?
Do you find it easier to forgive others or to ask for forgiveness for yourself?
