Good Morning/Afternoon!

Hey ladies!  How is everyone doing today?  Anything interesting going on today/this week/this weekend?

QOTD:  If you were guaranteed a life of happiness, weath, health, and security, and all you had to do was give the OK to have your worst enemy (someone you actually have met in person, not abstract) killed, would you give the ok?

 

**Edit** - ok, before you all think that I'm some sort of psychopath or something, the idea behind this question came from a movie my friend just watched, "The Box."  She was just telling me about it and it got me thinking.  Plus - I thought it was a bit more "in-depth" than questions like, "what were you voted to be best at in high school."

Sorry, didn't mean to offend anyone!

Re: Good Morning/Afternoon!

  • Hi! We're back from vacation! We had a great time, it was rather warm so we were so happy that we rented a car to drive around the island. Now it's time to pack everything away and get the album put together. 

    Today I have my first Luxembourgish class of the year, I'm interested to see how it goes! Oh but first I have to pick up my books.

    QOTD: I honestly can't think of anyone that I disliked so much that I would want them killed (that I've met in person) so I'd say no.

  • Good morning (afternoon)! I'm super tired today. I don't know what my deal is. I had a pretty low key weekend, which was a good thing as we are traveling next weekend so I kind of wanted to just chill out. Today I'm just working and hopefully actually cooking dinner for real later; I have been really bad about cooking actual meals lately.

    QOTD: Wow, heavy stuff! I don't think I could do it, it would weigh on me too much and take away from that guaranteed happiness.

  • Morning. Today is a pretty normal day. Work, and then I'm going shopping for a cocktail maternity dress. I'm having a heck of a time finding one!

    QOTD: No. Holy hell, Onesly, you have a dark side!

  • Hey everyone!  Nothing too much going on today, just finishing up work and packing before going back to the US tomorrow!

    QOTD:  Yeah, I know it was heavy, but a friend just watched the movie "The Box" and we were discussing, which totally got me thinking about this topic.  Strange, I know.

    Personally, I don't think I could do it.  Heck, I can't even go to a restaurant where you point to the lobster/fish you want cooked for you from the tank, let alone have a person killed.  Even if I wasn't the one doing it.

  • I'm bored today and need to get my butt back to work.  I'm not sure how much effort to put forth though because DH is thinking about going back to the US mid next year.  Ugh.

     QOTD: Yes, I could.  The person I hate the most in the world abused my mother, in front of me, on a daily basis.  My most vivid child hood memory is him putting a gun in her mouth when I was 5.  I won't even get into with what he did to my brothers.  Honestly, I could have killed him myself if it came down to it.  He met his maker a few years ago, liver cancer and is now gone.  But if its just a matter of someone I happen to "dislike"..then no.

  • QOTD:  I'm going to be the odd man out here.

    20 years ago I was sound asleep in my apartment when a man came through the window, robbed me and assaulted me at knife point.  Even though he is now in prison for 75 years (my case plus two others served consecutively) I shall consider this man my enemy. 

    So, my answer is Yes to the question of the day.

    It's not that I have a "dark side" per se, but I find morality questions to be really interesting.

    I just saw your edit. I was just teasing you! I swear I wasn't offended. 

    In fact, my instinct is to say no, but if that person was my mortal enemy because they, say, murdered my child, then my answer could very easily be yes.

  • Good afternoon!

    Went to a kid in M's class birthday party on Saturday. The kids had fun, but OMG, it was my personal hell! Held in an indoor kids park - the noise was too much and I was stressed the whole two hours.

    Just cleaning and running errands today.

    QOTD: That movie was on TV here on Saturday! I don't have anyone in my life that I consider an enemy, but if someone had done something terrible to anyone I love, then no doubt I could have them killed.  

  • Hey!  I did some cleaning and now I'm being a couch potato while W naps.  I'm excited to be able to watch the Ranger game tonight!! My mom is coming for a visit this weekend.  Yay for a free babysitter. ;)

    QOTD:  I don't have any enemies.  If I did have one like some PP's mentioned, I would have no problem saying "yes" to the question. 

  • My crazy MIL asked me to start planning the Christmas menu already, so I guess I'll be doing that today. Apparently I'm cooking for 15 people instead of the 7 I normally cook for. Love being volunteered for stuff like this instead of asked.

    QOTD: I'm going to say yes and leave it at that.

  • Hi! Nothing going on today, just recovering from the Oktoberfest hangover. Getting back on track with my eating and working out this week, and I might attempt to get DH in gear and get caught up on picture editing! We are months behind!

    QOTD: I would have to say no since I don't have any enemies...but I can understand from PP's stories how they could say yes!

  • Morning. I'm still in the hospital and they said I was going home this morning but then they put me on the fetal monitor and said minibini's HR isn't accelerating enough and they want to do an ultrasound to be sure he's ok. So now I'm waiting for that. In any event I can't work the rest of this week. QOTD: I don't know. Maybe, if I could think of someone truly evil who I really hated that much. No one is coming to mind right now.
