Re: Interesting Questions
1) Do you believe honesty is always the best policy? No, I think if it keeps someone from getting their feelings hurt, small lies are ok.
2) If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose? Roseanne; I can most relate to those characters and I think they?d be extremely fun.
3) You discover that your one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake? No, an emotional loving bond is more important to me than a biological one is.
4) Would you be willing to commit perjury in court for a close friend? What if your lie would save his/her life? It depends on what the crime was and why they did it. If I agreed with what they did or think they had justification to do so, then yes, I?d lie to save them.
5) Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now? Yes, sex really isn?t that important to me.
6) Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness? No, I think children who are exposed to reality at a younger age often deal with things better later in life.
7) Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares every night for a year if you would be rewarded with extraordinary wealth? No, I think horrible nightmares for a year would drive me crazy, like in a padded room crazy. So I?d have no use for money then.
8) Would you have one of your fingers surgically removed if it guaranteed immunity from all major diseases? No, I am a very strong believer that everything happens for a reason; I wouldn?t want to mess with fate like that.
9) Have you ever returned an item to a store for a refund after having used it? If so, what was it? Nope
10) If you could be any age again for a week, what age would you be and why? 21?I was still living at home, only had to work part time, and literally was having the time of my life out at bars and clubs all week long. There?s no way I could do it now, but it?d be fun to relive it for a week.
1) Do you believe honesty is always the best policy? I think little fibs are okay to save someone's feelings.
2) If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose? Currently, my favourite is Big Bang Theory, although it might also be yummy to be trapped in the Top Chef kitchen.
3) You discover that your one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake? Good question. Hard to say without being in the situation. I doubt I would be able to give up a one-year-old child. The whole situation would be heartbreaking.
4) Would you be willing to commit perjury in court for a close friend? What if your lie would save his/her life? It really depends on what they did, and whether or not they actually did it.
5) Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now? I could, though I think I'm fairly "at peace".
6) Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness? No. I think we are doing children a disservice by not letting them win or lose or fail at anything.
7) Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares every night for a year if you would be rewarded with extraordinary wealth? Tough one, I'm not sure my sanity would be worth it.
8) Would you have one of your fingers surgically removed if it guaranteed immunity from all major diseases? In a second.
9) Have you ever returned an item to a store for a refund after having used it? If so, what was it? Yes, roller blades. I decided I was going to kill myself if I continued to use them.
10) If you could be any age again for a week, what age would you be and why? Could I go back with the knowledge I have now? If so, probably late teens. If not, I've been fairly satisfied with my 30s.

TTC Since January 2011 - We have bad sperm1) Do you believe honesty is always the best policy? I can't say that I'm honest 100% of the time...little fibs are better than bursting someones bubble sometimes.
2) If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose? Modern Family...that show cracks me up.
3) You discover that your one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake? I honestly don't know what I would do in such a situation. I would want to get to know the child I gave birth to, but couldn't imagine giving up a child I had for a year.
4) Would you be willing to commit perjury in court for a close friend? What if your lie would save his/her life? That's a tough one. I'm not good under pressure and having to lie so I think all I would do is get both of us in trouble if I attempted to "help".
5) Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now? I think I could give up sex for a year if it made me more at peace with life.
6) Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness? No...if they don't learn now when will they learn? Some parents think their 30 yr old children are still their babies so would they shelter them then too?
7) Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares every night for a year if you would be rewarded with extraordinary wealth? I'm usually good about realizing a dream is just a dream so I might consider it.
8) Would you have one of your fingers surgically removed if it guaranteed immunity from all major diseases? hmm...just "major" diseases no. all diseases yes.
9) Have you ever returned an item to a store for a refund after having used it? If so, what was it? Can't say that I have. I hate returning things.
10) If you could be any age again for a week, what age would you be and why? I'm another one who would go back to 21. Not saying I don't have a good life now, but life was pretty good then. Was living on my own, had a boyfriend that I thought loved me at the time lol, had a great job. Just a week would be hard though. At least I'd be coming back to my hubby after the week was over.
1) Do you believe honesty is always the best policy?
To an extent. I always try to be honest, but not so much that it's just mean to be mean.
2) If you had to be trapped in a TV show for a month, which show would you choose?
How I Met Your Mother...they are such a funny group of friends, and it seems like it would be a lot of fun to be around them.
3) You discover that your one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake?
Probably not...I can't say for sure unless I was in that situation, but I can't imagine I would want to. Although, if the other parent did, legally I think I would have to.
4) Would you be willing to commit perjury in court for a close friend? What if your lie would save his/her life?
If I knew for a fact they were innocent, then maybe. But if I thought/knew they were guilty, no...if a close friend put themselves in a situation where they are risking being put to death, I obviously didn't know them very well in the first place.
5) Would you be willing to give up sex for one year if you knew it would give you a much deeper sense of peace than you have now?
Errrmm....probably not lol.
6) Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness?
No, but they shouldn't be alone in their unhappiness. The parent needs to talk to the child about whatever is causing it, though.
7) Would you be willing to have horrible nightmares every night for a year if you would be rewarded with extraordinary wealth?
If it meant I wouldn't have to worry about money for the rest of my life, yes. I'm used to horrible nightmares lol
8) Would you have one of your fingers surgically removed if it guaranteed immunity from all major diseases?
Probably not...
9) Have you ever returned an item to a store for a refund after having used it? If so, what was it?
I've never bought anything with the sole purpose of using and returning, so if I have used it and returned it, it meant something was wrong with it.

3) You discover that your one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake? Mixed feelings, I think you would know before a year that the child wasn't yours...but if it took a year then no, I would not be able to on the emotional bond I have with the child already. it would be a very bothersome tho, that a Hospital has made that BIG of a mistake.

I knew for sure what my future held at that time.. at least I had myself convinced that I did anyway.

6) Do you feel that children should be sheltered from unhappiness? No, I feel the reason for the unhappiness should be explained (death, etc).

3) You discover that your one-year-old child is, because of a mix-up at the hospital, not yours. Would you want to exchange the child to correct the mistake? Wow thats a tough one. I think it would be important to at least open the communication between the two sets of parents and the two kids.
