  • I remember vaguely reading on here that you wear skirts all of the time and you posted a pic of you in jeans. Are skirts part of your religious beleifs (modesty) or just something you like to wear?

    Skirts are part of our religious beliefs, which is why we wear them 98% of the time. It has a lot to do with skirts being more feminine/modest. 

    That being said there is immodest skirts out there as well. In general I won't wear a skirt that is above the knees, and the same goes for slits in skirts.

    I worked at a Jewish Day school and we were required to wear skirts to work. After that experience I wear a skirt or dress to work 2-3 times a week, so much more comfy than jeans or pants.

  • Since I'm relatively ignorant, how would you classify your religion?  Christian?  LDS?  Some other sect of Christianity?  (Not meant to offend at all - apologies for my lack of knowledge on this issue; genuinely curious.)
  • If you had to move to another country, which one would you choose?
  • What is/are your biggest fear/s?

    We would fall under Christian - Protestant to be more specific.  

    No offense taken.

    Do you floss daily?

    Depends on what I eat.. more like every other day. It's a bad habit not too and sometimes I'll do it daily when I get into it.

    Loosing my DH when we have several children and then having to be on my own. I'm not sure what I would do, I'd probably want to move back to Canada to be close to my own family.

    Okay, then a follow-up, since I'm (non-practicing) Methodist and DH is (non-practicing) Presbyterian, which I think both technically fall under the Protestant umbrella - what denomination of Protestantism most closely aligns to your religious beliefs?  I definitely wore jeans to church so that's why I'm curious!

  • Favorite book of all time?
  • Least favorite food(s)?
  • I'll be back in a while so keep asking questions and I'll answer them when I get back!
