Today's Question(s):

What was the last thing someone asked for your "Honest opinion" on ? A friend stopped by late yesterday afternoon to run a biz opp by me - people who know me already know that if they ask for my opinion they'd better want the truth. What he wants to do sounded great and I told him, but I did give him a heads up about one of the people involved (which he appreciated).

What I can't stand is when someone asks for an opinion, then gets all upset when it's not what they want to hear

Bonus Question:

If you have a cold or the flu are you a
Nice sick person ? I'm usually nice in a whiny way - cranky kicks in if I don't get my morning coffee
or
Cranky, best to stay away until your better person ?

Extra Credit Question:

What was the last thing that had you shaking your head and saying:

People do not listen ? When the shipping company showed up with absolutely no padding or anything to protect furniture and electronics from being damaged
and
People do not read ? The traffic signs showing max speed in my neighborhood

Today in History:
1868 - Metropolitan Life Insurance Co forms

Saint Gabriel Day - the Archangel is the patron saint of postal, telephone and telegraph workers.

Good morning!!D Wow...we had some crazy hail, wind, and rain last night. It looks calm out today


What was the last thing someone asked for your "Honest opinion" on ? Ha, ha...no one has to ever ask me that. I always give an honest opinion. I'm not very good at sugarcoating or as my hubby says "blowing sunshine up your a**" Actually I have found a lot people like to hear lies rather than the truth or they just want you to agree with them


If you have a cold or the flu are you a
Nice sick person ?
or
Cranky, best to stay away until your better person ? When I am sick, which thankfully is very rare, I would rather just be left alone. I am never cranky "until" you don't leave me alone.


lol What was the last thing that had you shaking your head and saying:
People do not listen ? That would be my hubby
and
People do not read ? Probably me. I read all the time but I don't retain information very well.


kismet \ KIZ-met; -mit \ , noun;
1. Destiny; fate.

That's my hubby and I Actually we are each other's rewards for putting up with our first marriages, lol


Have a great day!!!

Today's Question(s):
What was the last thing someone asked for your "Honest opinion" on? My boss asked me to critique something he'd written. (I'm the resident anal-retentive grammarian!)

Bonus Question:

I'm nice, but very reclusive when I'm not feeling well. So I avoid people when I can. Fortunately, it's extremely rare for me to have a day when I don't feel well.

Extra Credit Question:
lol What was the last thing that had you shaking your head and saying:
People do not read? Lots of posts in the other fora here on C-D. People often don't read the original post before they spout off with their opinion or advice, and they're not even close to the target.

Word of the Day:
kismet \ KIZ-met; -mit \ , noun;
1. Destiny; fate.
It's kismet that I'm here on C-D right now.

Today is:
National Chocolate Covered Raisins Day I prefer plain, unadulterated chocolate, but I won't turn down chocolate covered raisins!
Saint Gabriel Day - the Archangel is the patron saint of postal, telephone and telegraph workers. ok
National Family Day These are nice.
National Bubble Day Yaaaay! Fun, pretty bubbles!
National Spring Fever Day Yippee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I have to keep reminding myself that it's spring because it's below freezing here and we got an inch of snow overnight. Supposed to be the same thing until Tuesday next week. So I'll just pretend it's spring-like outside!

lol What was the last thing that had you shaking your head and saying:
People do not listen? Too many things to list here...pretty much anytime I pick up the phone at work!
and
People do not read? General life skills not reading...walk out the door; people do not read signs on the street, in stores or businesses, etc...Not reading books: At work, a 36 year old co-worker (different one than the above mentioned one) was bragging because she has only read two books in her life! How on earth can you brag about that? I understand not enjoying reading, but to brag about not reading any thing?


Have a great Thursday everyone...the weekend is in sight!

Today's Question(s):

Most who know me don't bother with that because they know any opinion I give is honest or I don't give it.

Bonus Question:

If you have a cold or the flu are you a
Nice sick person ?
or
Cranky, best to stay away until your better person ?

Guess I'm more of a "stay away from me". Neither nice nor cranky as long as I'm left alone in my misery.

Probably the last time I tried to tell my eldest son something - he's hard of hearing and you have to make sure he's paying attention before you try to tell him anything.
and
People do not read ?


That would be the last time I tried to discuss a book with my brother.

Top of the Thursday morning to allyall.

I think it depends of how sick I am... If it is just a cold, I am pretty much pleasant self, but the flu can render one totally meek unless u have to rise ad be Super Mom -that's kinda cranky.

The last thing that had me shaking my head and saying people do not listen/read with comprehension was a correspondence from a man whose motives were suspect, behavior indignant and not very becoming at all. Fellas "if u listen u will learn something." (actually my grandfather used to say that to us kids, but it will work for everybody) women folk too.

Make Peace and Spread the love- but that doesn't mean u don't Stand Tall
