POLL of random Qs
1) You are out bar hopping. You see money on the ground. You bend over, pick it up. It's $100... wait, you unfold it and it's $300. What do you do?
2) You enter a sweepstakes... say HGTV has a beach house on your favorite beach. Amazingly, you win. While it is a dream come true, you have to move. What do you do about your job (or school), friends, family and obligations?
3) A relative calls you. They have a bad problem. They need to live with you for a while.
a) It is your favorite relative. What do you say? How long can they stay?
b) It is your least favorite relative. You wonder how you came from the same gene pool. What do you say?
4) Your friend's husband hits on you. What do you do?
5) You wake up, get ready and head out the front door. There is a baby on your doorstep with a note attached. What do you do?

Hand it to the bartender. Say "Someone wants to buy $300 worth of drinks for everyone sitting at the bar." If someone comes to claim the $, we'll all just say, "Thanks for the drink". Seems fair.
2) You enter a sweepstakes... say HGTV has a beach house on your favorite beach. Amazingly, you win. While it is a dream come true, you have to move. What do you do about your job (or school), friends, family and obligations?
I would be on a plane tomorrow!
3) A relative calls you. They have a bad problem. They need to live with you for a while.
a) It is your favorite relative. What do you say? How long can they stay?
If it is my pretend relative, my friend that I call my sister, I would tell her that my house is her house. She can stay as long as she wants/needs.
b) It is your least favorite relative. You wonder how you came from the same gene pool. What do you say?
Sorry, I have a small house. No room at the inn.
4) Your friend's husband hits on you. What do you do?
Ick. It's happened. I pretended it didn't.
5) You wake up, get ready and head out the front door. There is a baby on your doorstep with a note attached. What do you do?
I would grab the baby while looking down the street for whomever dropped it off. If I saw something suspicious, I would get the details. I would take the lil darlin inside, get 911 on the way while checking on the baby. Oh, and take a picture to post here.

1) You are out bar hopping. You see money on the ground. You bend over, pick it up. It's $100... wait, you unfold it and it's $300. What do you do?
I'd take it home and donate it to a local or favorite charity. It's impossible to find the owner of it unless they make an announcement that someone lost $300 and in that case, I'd turn it in since the amt asked for is the same. Otherwise, I think what you're supposed to do is turn it into the police, but who is going to lose $300 and go to the police station to see if anyone turned it in? So the best thing to do IMO is just donate it.
2) You enter a sweepstakes... say HGTV has a beach house on your favorite beach. Amazingly, you win. While it is a dream come true, you have to move. What do you do about your job (or school), friends, family and obligations?
Not much if it was just MH and me since we don't have many other obligations other than jobs. But now that we have LO, I'd consider the safety and school district of the area.
3) A relative calls you. They have a bad problem. They need to live with you for a while.
a) It is your favorite relative. What do you say? How long can they stay?
Of course, they can stay as long as they needed to.
b) It is your least favorite relative. You wonder how you came from the same gene pool. What do you say?
I actually like all my relatives a lot so I can't relate too much. But if I really disliked a relative and we're really related and they really needed the help, I'd let them stay for a while but not too long since we have a LO and space is already very tight. If I had a troublesome relative that was "dangerous" for my family/LO, then I'd say sorry, no space, but I'll help them find the best deal on a hotel nearby.
4) Your friend's husband hits on you. What do you do?
Err. If it's hard to tell for sure (like it's a verbal comment and he may be joking/have a weird sense of humor/etc), then whatever...I'd probably stay away from hanging near him too much. If he did something like come in for a kiss, I'd probably slap him. I'd tell MH about it. I may or may not tell the friend depending on how close we are/our history/etc.
5) You wake up, get ready and head out the front door. There is a baby on your doorstep with a note attached. What do you do?
First response is to probably look around and see who could've dropped it off. Then bring baby in, make sure he/she is okay, read the note and call/tell MH and call authorities after that.
1) You are out bar hopping. You see money on the ground. You bend over, pick it up. It's $100... wait, you unfold it and it's $300. What do you do?
If I found it in the bar I'd probably turn it in to the bartender because if I dropped $300 on the ground while dancing, I would be frantic to get it back. If I found it outside on the street while walking from bar to bar, and there was no way to get it back to the original owner, I would keep it. I'm selfish.
2) You enter a sweepstakes... say HGTV has a beach house on your favorite beach. Amazingly, you win. While it is a dream come true, you have to move. What do you do about your job (or school), friends, family and obligations?
I wouldn't enter the sweepstakes unless I really wanted to move there. That house would be mine sofast.
3) A relative calls you. They have a bad problem. They need to live with you for a while.
a) It is your favorite relative. What do you say? How long can they stay?
Of course you can stay with me, until you find a job and are back on your feet.
b) It is your least favorite relative. You wonder how you came from the same gene pool. What do you say?
For most relatives I'd offer at least 1-2 nights, but the worst one steals things. So... sorry, but we don't have room to accommodate him.
4) Your friend's husband hits on you. What do you do?
If he's drunk or trying to pass it off as friendly "kidding": ask what the (#*)$ is wrong with him, and tell him if he tries it again I'll report him to his wife. If he's sober and serious: smack him and tell her immediately. I'm probably not his first/only attempt to cheat.
5) You wake up, get ready and head out the front door. There is a baby on your doorstep with a note attached. What do you do?
Read the note, bring the baby inside, call the cops.
1) You are out bar hopping. You see money on the ground. You bend over, pick it up. It's $100... wait, you unfold it and it's $300. What do you do?
I probably would pocket it...I know that's terrible of me but if I'm bar hoping then I'm probably drunk and wouldn't think twice about it, I'd probably think it was mine to begin with
2) You enter a sweepstakes... say HGTV has a beach house on your favorite beach. Amazingly, you win. While it is a dream come true, you have to move. What do you do about your job (or school), friends, family and obligations?
Since I already live in Hawaii and my dream beach is 30 minutes away I would have no problem moving at all
3) A relative calls you. They have a bad problem. They need to live with you for a while.
a) It is your favorite relative. What do you say? How long can they stay?
they can have the couch and sleep with the dogs ...I'm sure that would get old real fast and they wouldn't stay too long.
b) It is your least favorite relative. You wonder how you came from the same gene pool. What do you say?
I would probaly say that we don't have room...really we don't
4) Your friend's husband hits on you. What do you do?
I'd call him an *** and let my friend know that I don't trust him...I would keep a close eye on him and let my husband know too
5) You wake up, get ready and head out the front door. There is a baby on your doorstep with a note attached. What do you do?
Take care of the baby until social services arive

hawaii 10.2008 plan ;P married bio ???
1) You are out bar hopping. You see money on the ground. You bend over, pick it up. It's $100... wait, you unfold it and it's $300. What do you do?
I'd ask the bartender if anyone had inquired about a lost item and if no one had claimed it by the end of the evening I'd pocket it.
2) You enter a sweepstakes... say HGTV has a beach house on your favorite beach. Amazingly, you win. While it is a dream come true, you have to move. What do you do about your job (or school), friends, family and obligations?
No question, move immediately and figure it out later. That said, I might not be able to afford my new house because typically the taxes on the winnings are so outrageous and impossible for the average family to afford!
3) A relative calls you. They have a bad problem. They need to live with you for a while.
a) It is your favorite relative. What do you say? How long can they stay?
This is my reality right now...for the past two years, actually.
b) It is your least favorite relative. You wonder how you came from the same gene pool. What do you say?
Perhaps my brother/cousin/uncle has room?
4) Your friend's husband hits on you. What do you do?
Ask him if he's insane and then let him know that I'll be telling his wife.
5) You wake up, get ready and head out the front door. There is a baby on your doorstep with a note attached. What do you do?
Bring the baby inside and read the note. Most likely, take the day off of work to figure out the situation.
