Monday Poll

Have you started shopping for gifts?

Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults?

How many times did you have sexy time this weekend?

Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers?

H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this?

Who is the last person you got into a fight with?

Re: Monday Poll

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? Yup and almost finished

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? No not really.

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? None. DH and I both had a stomach bug and then we were traveling back home on Sat and then yesterday we were still feeling under the weather.

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? Nope

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? I think they could have put that money to better use and donated it to the Salvation Army.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? I think it was my SIL (the crazy one) when she started bashing my sister this past week. I really wanted to throat punch her.

    Have you started shopping for gifts? No, but I'll begin (and end) on Tuesday during office hours. I LOVE Amazon :)

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? Yes---even though this is me. DH, my brother, and I have asked several times  for my parents to get us less because it's just weird to get a billion gifts as an adult, but they say they enjoy being able to give us XYZ, so we have just tried to be more gracious recipients

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? several Stick out tongue

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? yes- not to excess unless it's my  brother and cousins and I, and then it's on!

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? I wouldn't give him money, but it doesn't bother me any more than any other person standing at the intersection (which I don't like in general)

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? Hmmm...I wouldn't call it a fight but the last person I had to confront was a student plagiarist who denied it even after I showed her the websites her paper came from. At that point, I just gave up and said "This is your grade. I'll be turning my findings over to the student conduct officer. If you wish to appeal you may contact the chair of our department."

  • imageBoyMom21:

    Have you started shopping for gifts? Oh yeah. I can't resist shopping for my nieces. They are all into fashion and love my style. So they've had gifts under my tree for a week!

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? Not really. My parents still love to give me nice gifts. And I think if the adult gets them from a significant other, that's fine too. If they ask for anything beyond that, yes, they get the side eye.

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? Zero. Single lady here. :)

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? Yes, beer and wine.

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? That's ridiculous. I mean I guess that's cool that the guy was honest. But I feel no pressure to donate to your alcohol fund, you're on your own.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? Probably my sister over Thanksgiving. No big fights. She just pushes my buttons, because she thinks it's funny. Ha.

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? yes; I started over a month ago

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? nope

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? 2

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? only at C's grammy's; her and her husband are wino's and I love it. We get to her house before noon and the wine is out so you know I have to have some.

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? Atleast he is being honest-I would probably give him money.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? C but it was just a disagrement spat not really a fight.

    Have you started shopping for gifts? Yes, I'm almost done.

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? No, as long as they're not asking for it/expecting it.

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? Three.

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? My dad's side, no.  Mom's side? Sometimes.  H's side? Always.

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? I didn't give him money.  I did laugh though.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? Well, H and I were grating on each others nerves Christmas shopping on Saturday.  But then we ate lunch and got over it.  One of our couple friends that we sit with at church were in a big fight yesterday.  She asked H to go get him from the house (she went to church alone) so we could all go to lunch together.  Her husband refused to go eat with her, so B and I ended up eating lunch with her, and Tyler had lunch with him.  It kind of sucked.  I really wanted to have lunch as a family.  I'm glad she was able to vent, but the problems they're having were things she knew about prior to marriage, so I have a hard time not just telling her they needed to be in counseling to work out these issues before they decided to get hitched.  It's like they're in their late teens/early twenties...but they're not.  Late twenties.  And they're TTC.  Ugh.

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? Yep. I'm a little over half way finished.

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? Eh... not really, I guess. I guess some families are financially able to do that...

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? 0

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? Not really at them, but after them when we're all just hanging out, yes.

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? I think he should get off his hiney and get a job so he can buy his own beer and cigs.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? The H. Yesterday.

    "Always have faith in God, yourself, and the Cowboys...'-Eddie Sutton

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? Yup - been shopping since October. Pretty much done with H and DS; need a couple of more things for my mom, sis and dad.

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? Nope. I still do. Well, not crazy amounts - but more than I thought.

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? None. No fun here until 2/1/11.

    Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? Nope. My mom doesn't drink and thinks my sister and I are alcoholics because we do. We consume insane amounts of sparkling apple cider instead.

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? They're enabling him. That's stupid.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? H. Sucks arguing when he's gone.

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? I have indeed.Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? I guess that depends on how much is crazy, I guess. I'll tell you what I do side eye - and there was a post about this earlier - but I do not like those angel tree or adopt a family things where the kids request stuff that I wouldn't even buy for my own family due to expense. Now, if they're requesting books or mittens or something, it would be really fun to buy them that and some really neat new thing that's all the rage, just to surprise them. But the ones that request the newest playstation or whatever thing that costs $300? I don't think so, kid. I never had fancy electronic stuff growing up either, and I'll be d@mned if I would have ever had the gall to ask for it from total strangers. *steps off self-righteous soapbox*Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers? Usually, yes. H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this? I think it's dumb.Who is the last person you got into a fight with? Hmm. Probably H.

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? Ha, not really. I bought my mom's gifts. But that's about it.

    Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults? Only if they're expecting it.

    How many times did you have sexy time this weekend? Hmm...I honestly can't remember. At least once I think.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? DH and I got into an argument yesterday. But our arguments don't last very long. It's pretty much us pouting for about 20 minutes and then apologizing to each other haha.

I gave him a dollar just so I could take a pic with him... I may or may not have been slightly intoxicated though...

  • Have you started shopping for gifts? Yup...I will be finishing D on Friday after I do some other things.

    Have you started shopping for gifts? Not at all. I'm a last-minute shopper.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? Hmm. I got into a political-ish argument on twitter last week, so probably that.

  • Have you started shopping for gifts?  Yep!  I'm not as ahead as I wish I were, but I should be able to finish up next week.  Do you side eye people who get crazy amounts of presents as adults?  It's odd to me, but as long as they're not expecting it I guess it's no big deal.How many times did you have sexy time this weekend?  3Do you have alcohol at your family get togethers?  My side--not usually; DH's side--sometimesH and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this?  Kudos for being honest, but he would not get my $$.Who is the last person you got into a fight with?  Not really a fight, but a spat with the lady who called me yesterday from Citi Bank Visa (or something like that).  She refused to believe that I'm not David somebody, I don't know David somebody, and, even after telling her 5 times, still couldn't comprehend that I've only had this phone and number for a few months and that's why she was calling the wrong effing number.  Grrrr.

    I'll tell you what I do side eye - and there was a post about this earlier - but I do not like those angel tree or adopt a family things where the kids request stuff that I wouldn't even buy for my own family due to expense..

    When the kids/families fill out the application form the group tells them to put big gifts on there so it's technically ot their fault. They are doing what they're told. Typically they say pu a big gift, an outfit and something small on your list.

    H and I saw a man last year with a sign that said: "Why lie?  Need money for beer and cigarettes".  He was over by Penn Square mall at an intersection.  People were giving him money left and right.  What do you think of this?I wouldn't have given him money. I would rather buy a meal or other item for a person and give it to them than money. I don't know what they will buy but I know they will benefit from a hot meal.

    Who is the last person you got into a fight with? I have gotten into a silly argument with H but no fights.
