Do you ever have to tolerate noise levels? In public places, I can tune it out. My nephews wife is a loud person, she’s hard to be around.

~ Would you allow someone else to cook in your kitchen? I don’t like it but I can’t stop my husband doing stuff in my kitchen, she doesn’t clean up very well.
ALL of these questions are about family members!

~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing? I don’t know.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where
you are seated outside? It would be wrong.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while
they were alive? It would be wrong.

~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever? I have in the past but they were family (kids).

Thanks for coming, I need these answers very much! Have a great week! Not my family, it's my wife's.
Thank you!

~ Do you ever have to tolerate noise levels? Yes, from my next-door neighbors'
two German Shepherds. They bark for hours on end and they're very loud! It drives me nuts.


~ Would you allow someone else to cook in your kitchen? No. My kitchen is very tiny and there's only room for me. Plus, I don't like others moving my things around. ALL of these questions are about family members!

~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing? Probably not. However, I do have a close friend who has asthma and allergies who coughs and sneezes frequently. She is welcome in my home. Other friends who have coughs not due to allergies likely have the good sense not to come to my house because they may be sick.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where you are seated outside? Yes, it would be wrong.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while they were alive? Yes, it would be wrong.

~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever? No, with the exception of the person I described above. She is somewhat annoying because she's loud and can get on people's nerves, but she is a very good-hearted lady and a good friend.

Thanks for coming, I need these answers very much! Have a great week! Not my family, it's my wife's. Thanks for the fill-ins, roosty. I hope things work out with your in-laws.

Only the sirens on first responders vehicles or the wife when she's mad at me.

Yes to family members at they have to clean up.

~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing?
No

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where you are seated outside?
It would be more than just wrong.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while they were alive?
Of course it would be wrong.

~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever?
Never

Thanks for coming, I need these answers very much! Have a great week! Not my family, it's my wife's.

Thanx Roosty, give Buttercup a hug and hope things work out for you.

Thanks for the questions



~ Do you ever have to tolerate noise levels? Do you mean too soft or too loud?

~ Would you allow someone else to cook in your kitchen? Yes, my son's girlfriend. ALL of these questions are about family members!

~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing? Yes, just ask them to cough in a different direction.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where you are seated outside? Not really. Everyone is part of our society.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while they were alive? Not always, unless it will upset a particular survivor.

~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever? Yes, just ask them to cough in a different direction.

~ Do you ever have to tolerate noise levels? Yes. At the farm we have the sounds of highway traffic, and tractors. But I don't mind them at all. At the 'main' house in the burbs, no, not really - except for sirens and the occasional sounds of gun shots.

~ Would you allow someone else to cook in your kitchen? ALL of these questions are about family members! I suppose. But they'd be on their own. Our kitchen is too small to easily accommodate two people comfortably.

~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing? I really wouldn't want them there if they have Covid. I would find it incredibly inconsiderate for them to even show up.

~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where
you are seated outside? Of course. But too many people don't think before they open their mouths.
My brother used the 'N' word and it made me cringe. In time he stopped using it.


~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while
they were alive? Actually, I'd get some entertainment out of that one. I'd grab a beer and enjoy the show.

~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever? It depends on who they are. Don't have many 'loud' people in our families - thank God!

Blood may be thicker than water, Roost, but it can be anemic. Have a great weekend!

~ Do you ever have to tolerate noise levels?
Only if Mr. Bay has the TV volume up too high. I think he might need hearing aids.
~ Would you allow someone else to cook in your kitchen? ALL of these questions are about family members!
I wouldn't mind, except that I'd probably have to be in the kitchen with them to show the person where things are.
~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing?
No, I wouldn't.
~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where
you are seated outside?
Yes, it would be extremely rude.
~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while
they were alive?
That's hard for me to answer because [years after they were both dead] my stepbrother told me some stories about his mother's cheating on my father than vindicated my opinion that she wasn't a nice person. Generally speaking, though, it would be in bad taste.
~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever?
No, I wouldn't. (Isn't this the same question you asked before?)


Thanks, Roosty - and sorry about your in-laws.

Have to? I have worked at jobs in the past that had a high noise level. So Yes I had to tolerate it. At home? No.

My kitchen is only big enough for one person at a time to cook in it. Family members?
Sure, they can cook in it, when they want to. Sometimes my Son makes dinner for everyone.
He is a great cook!

~ Would you allow loud guests to come to your home if they are all coughing?
It would be rude to turn away guests. But it is rude of guests to visit someone's home when they are sick and coughing. Family is always welcome. Anyone else I would suggest that they go home and get some rest and recover from their illness and come back when they are better.
~ Wouldn't it be wrong to talk outside loudly about 'black' people when you have black people living right by where
you are seated outside?
Yes. Very. I would be mortified. I can't stand racists or the use of that word.
~ Wouldn't it be wrong to have loud conversations about whom a deceased and dear family member 'had sex with' while
they were alive?
Yes very.

I don't discuss someone else's sex life whether they were dead or alive.
~ Would you allow loud, coughing people into your home ever?
Ever? I wouldn't be thrilled certainly but it
Depends on the circumstances...I wouldn't turn family away.

Sometimes it can be hard to get along with in-laws. But, when you married your wife, her family became your family (if only by law). If this is close family to her, it would be unkind to expect her to turn them away...of course I don't know the circumstances....if it was distant family things are a little different, but if it were her kids or parents...
(They shouldn't have came for a visit if they were sick, in the first place though....but that isn't your wife's fault).
Although, I can understand why it would be upsetting having to deal with loud, sick, gossiping racists!!!






Thank you for the questions!

I would not want any racists visiting me. I wouldn't want sick, coughing people visiting me, either.

If they were good cooks I could live with the cooking in my kitchen. I wouldn't be crazy about loud people visiting but if they be were nice I could tolerate it.

Discussing the sex lives of dead relatives....I am not sure. I suppose if the stories were interesting and not derogatory of the deceased I'd be okay with it. And if no children were present. It's a gray area.

If your wife insists these people stay - maybe you could go to a hotel. I think they should, and if they are sick they shouldn't be visiting at all.
