NBR: Ask anyone anything?

SnShne322 · January 2014

Anyone feel like doing this? It could be fun. Of course, you don't have to answer if you aren't comfortable.

RevJen · January 2014

I'm always up for it.

SnShne322 · January 2014

@RevJen have you come any closer to making your decision? IIRC you were considering a move, right?

MrsJenE · January 2014

I'm down.

RhymeReason · January 2014

Sure

packfan20 · January 2014

I'm in.

fabk · January 2014

I'm game.

EliStar · January 2014

I'll play!

Shepherdjel · January 2014

Fun! I'm in :-)

MrsC7 · January 2014

OK

SusieBW · January 2014

I'll play.

That would be a big, fat negative. I'm not sure I can stand another year of the pettiness that exists in my current job. I'm also still really wary of the area that the company is moving to. There's not a lot of business around it so if I get laid off, I'm SOL. And what if I move there for a year and hate it? What if I can't get back?

On the other hand, it could be a great way for mh to go to school. It's way more laid back that up here. There's the beach. There's baseball within a 2 hour radius so I wouldn't miss that, even though it's not our team. And hello ... WWOHP with a resident pass.

There are pros and cons but we're no closer to making an actual decision about anything.

When I'm reading, I sometimes mimic the facial expressions described in the book and I don't even realize I'm doing it.

CeeCeeSugaPie · January 2014

Sure.

@SusieBW: Rambling on when I am nervous. It is horrible.

I don't know if it's a habit but I have Resting Bitch Face. Usually when I'm concentrating on something, people constantly ask me if I'm mad. Um no, but if you keep asking, I will be.

fabk · January 2014

Embarrassing habit: Crying. I cry when I am happy, sad, for no reason what so ever. I can't control it sometimes and it is super embarrassing. Especially in public.

I hear New England is a great place for beaches, school and likely job opportunities. Also, there are some pretty cool kids up here

I'm sorry that the decision isn't easier.

HA! I know and I would definitely love it if it weren't for the cold. I think I need somewhere that's about 70 all year round.

I have this issue too. DH asks me if I am mad more often than is necessary because of the expression on my face.

To answer the question: dancing and mouthing along to the words on a favorite song when I am at the gym on the machines. Thankfully, when we were going on a regular basis it was later at night when no one was really there but still, DH would just look at my quizzically.

Hoycie · January 2014

I'm in.

RiverPlate · January 2014

I'm game. @SusieBW - whenever I feel like a lot of people are looking at me, my skin turns bright red. It creeps up my neck and then my whole head looks like a tomato. Embarassment isn't the only trigger - sometimes I'll be presenting or asking a question at work and although I'm confident in what I'm saying, I turn red anyway.

My friends joke that I need to wear red shirts at meetings so that I can blend in.

When I eat gushers (because I LOVE THEM!) I tend to shove them all in my mouth at once because um it just tastes better hahaha! I mean, who can eat just one at a time!

I'm one of those people who will reply with a similar situation if you tell me something bad/sad that's happening to you.

I SWEAR I'm not trying to be a one-upper or turn your sadness around to me. I am just terrible at conversation and only know how to relate to people by finding common ground.

I vaccuum my house maybe twice a quarter.

Embarrassing habit:
If I'm laughing really hard (I mean really hard), I sometimes snort. I never used to this, but then when I was pregnant it started happening and has never gone away. It's not an every day thing, but occasionally I do it.

I think I do this too.

@SusieBW
How did you choose Tatum's name? (I can't believe of all the times I have met you I never asked...well I don't think I did anyway)

I've always loved that name. I saw the movie Paper Moon with Tatum O'Neill when I was pretty young, and the name just always stuck with me. So while I wouldn't say that she was named after Tatum O'Neill, that's where I got the idea, albeit that was about 25 years ago! When I was pregnant, we came up with a list of about 7 names that Dh and I could agree on, but weren't comfortable picking one until we met her, and when we did, it just seemed to fit the best.

SusieBW · January 2014

@fabk - I cry constantly. I cry whenever I laugh, which is the worst.

@SRodi811 - I have a friend that snorts all the time, too. I barely even notice her snorts anymore because it happens so much.
