How much time to do waste on TN daily? Don't make me quantify--the number would be disturbingly high
Who do you wish that you stood up to yourself to from your past? The guy who used to make fun of me when I rode the bus in elementary school. I was a private school kid, but I had to take the public school buses for part of the route, and this middle school kid used to pick on me something fierce.

Bonus Questions
Longest you've ever gone in a sexual rut? Currently it's been a year
How much time to do waste on TN daily? I would be afraid to calculate the amount!
Who do you wish that you stood up to yourself to from your past? My XH....I turned into a bit of a doormat after I found out about the affair....I wish I would have handled that a lot better.
2) Whats your mantra to yourself when you get pissed off to keep yourself calm? I'm only responsible for myself. I try to remind myself that I can't see their soul - maybe they are in unimaginable pain or they're lost or confused or broken or just overwhelmed. I like to think there's a reason behind action so it's easier to give them a break.
3) If money was not an issue, what would be the career you want? My current one! I don't make much but it's my passion to help people.
4) Who would like to see a battle of wits with JM and Dmarie, or DorisWe and who would win? (think i got the names right, sorry if i didnt. i am new here haha) Can't we all win? Yeah... I'm a hippie
5) Who in your life means the most to you and why? My son. He always has and always will.
6) If you see someone trip and fall in front of you, do you help them up before you start laughing or are you laughing as you help them up? (provided they are ok of course). If it were a friend I'd be laughing as I helped them up. If it were a stranger I'd help them up then see where we were at. If I could lighten the mood by giggling a little I'd do it. If I thought it would hurt their feelings or they wouldn't get it then I'd control my laughter until they were out of ear shot.

Longest you've ever gone in a sexual rut? 2 years
1) If you could go back and say sorry to someone, who would it be and why?
My friend that took her own life. I just wish I could of said Im sorry you didn't have talk and have support.
2) Whats your mantra to yourself when you get pissed off to keep yourself calm?
I am one of those people who needs to be completely alone after something pissy happens.
3) If money was not an issue, what would be the career you want?
Nesting
4) Who would like to see a battle of wits with JM and Dmarie, or DorisWe and who would win? (think i got the names right, sorry if i didnt. i am new here haha)
not sure

My father, he's taught me to be one tough cookie.
6) If you see someone trip and fall in front of you, do you help them up before you start laughing or are you laughing as you help them up? (provided they are ok of course).
Depends of who it is. If its my best firiend or brother- I crack up laughing. If its my grandfather or coworker- I help them up kindly
7) Bonus! Create your own poll question for the rest of us
If you had to spend one day with only one single person who would it be and why?
1) If you could go back and say sorry to someone, who would it be and why? My friend from college who was killed in an ATV accident almost 2 yrs ago. Our last conversation was an argument and I hadn't gotten around to making amends. He died 2 wks after our last conversation. I have re-read a million emails from him since then and I realize that I was a shittty friend and that there is so much I wish I had taken the time to explain and talk to him about.
2) Whats your mantra to yourself when you get pissed off to keep yourself calm? I am not certain I have a mantra. It takes a lot for me to lose my cool. I usually just walk away and take a few deep breaths. I will be super quiet until I have internally processed the situation and then I will talk about it when I can do so calmly.
3) If money was not an issue, what would be the career you want? I would open a no kill dog rescue. I would buy lots of land and take in dogs (preferable from other shelters' kill lists) I would keep them until I could place them in good homes.
4) Who would like to see a battle of wits with JM and Dmarie, or DorisWe and who would win? (think i got the names right, sorry if i didnt. i am new here haha) I am not sure a battle of wits would be appropriate. I do think that Dmarie and JM should just f^ck and get it over with already. You can practically cut the sexual tension between them with a knife.
5) Who in your life means the most to you and why? My children. That should be self explanatory. Without them my life would be in a completely different place.
6) If you see someone trip and fall in front of you, do you help them up before you start laughing or are you laughing as you help them up? (provided they are ok of course). If it is someone I know I will help them up...usually while laughing... if it is someone I don't know I point and laugh and don't help them up. Except for kids, then there is no laughing just making sure they are okay.

Funny you should say that, i did try to have sex with her once and she stabbed me. Lesson learned.
1) If you could go back and say sorry to someone, who would it be and why? I lied to a girl once in HS and said I would be out of town and couldnt go to a school dance with her. I showed up with someone else...I was a coward and pathetic.
2) Whats your mantra to yourself when you get pissed off to keep yourself calm? Just knowing that all actions have consequences.
3) If money was not an issue, what would be the career you want? Screenwriter
4) Who would like to see a battle of wits with JM and Dmarie, or DorisWe and who would win? (think i got the names right, sorry if i didnt. i am new here haha) JM, not even close.
5) Who in your life means the most to you and why? My children in a 4 way tie.
6) If you see someone trip and fall in front of you, do you help them up before you start laughing or are you laughing as you help them up? (provided they are ok of course). Depends on the circumstances..if it is one of my friends I probably fall down too because I am laughing so hard.

Shorts for men? Should be below the knee, at the knee, above the knee?
At the knee. Or just above (like graznig the top of your knee). Above that too short. Below that too long.
And I hope you could tell that I have sex with my brother all the time.....
Okay, that was wrong, even in my book!
