This is not meant to be a monkey-see-monkey-do of previous ask "insert name or denomination here". I've just been getting some funny TGs, and I thought, hey, let's just get it out in the open! If you have something to ask me, go ahead. I certainly can not provide the advice that Occidio and Kat did. This is more along the lines of, "So Sin, what side of the bed to you sleep on?"

I'll understand if you have no interest in asking me anything :p

Snack food lovers tend to come in two types: sweet or salty. I'm salty all the way ;) . I have a weakness...an addiction really for potato chips. Anything but salt/vinegar, all-dressed, and ketchup.

My favourite beverage is water. Yeah, I'm lame. I don't drink alcohol, and I avoid pop like the plague. Fruit juice is a close second. Milk...never. I'm a bit lactose intollerant.

Pizza...mmmm...I love weird toppings. Like artichoke hearts and garlic. Or corn and red pepper. Or feta cheese and chorizo sausage. And thick crust.

Weekends at my house are a flurry of 'do everything you didn't have time for over the week'. Cleaning the house and visiting family. Lots of playtime with the kids, no tv, and finally some real meals. This summer, weekends are going to be camping trips. Busy to the point of insanity.

Got into a huge fight with my husband, but once that got worked out, things were good. Got the yard cleaned up and looking nice, getting ready to plant the garden, and just relaxed with the kids. So, I'd have to say yes.

Hmmm. My opinions? Well, I think beauty is not illusion, but is entirely subective. So it exists, but is different for everyone. We may agree on certain criteria, but that does not define beauty. We do.

I don't buy into any secret world orders. Sorry. I think the world got all screwed up pretty independently of an overweening master group.

I suspect a smurf would turn red if he was being strangled. I'm fairly certain Smurfette has already died in smurfbirth after producing only male offspring, so I couldn't say what colour the female smurfs would turn.

Do you keep a vegetable garden? What's the growing season like up there?
I do indeed! The growing season is short...from about the middle of May to maybe the beginning of September, though that is pushing it. Despite growing up around farmers, I know passing little about the actual process of growing crops. I'm learning now, from my mom and my mother-in-law. This is the first chance I've had to have a garden (since this is my first home). I'm growing a lot of crops indigenous to Canada, (this area in particular) as well as strains that have been adapted to our short growing season. I'm very excited about the whole thing!

But if you would strangle a smurf and beat it black and blue at the same time, what then?
(Please note that I don't encourage any form of violence against our blue friends)
In case anybody wonders; 6x9=42 in base 13, but starting to talk about that sort of thing at the dinner table is not a very good way to make your wife/husband/girlfriend/boyfriend/dog happy.

It might work if you're marrided to a smurf, though. Just dont try to strangle him/her

This wasnt the most civil of conversations-she started it by saying she isnt willing to go on like this anymore, as if there is some huge, dire problem. I dont take instructions well, nor do I respond well to someone laying the groundwork for a threat. I'm hoping it will blow over, as it usually does. I think its more a product of being tired. I'm still exhausted too. But she and I differ in the fact that I rarely will say something I cant take back, no matter how angry I am.

a) Obey god and spend enternity in heaven
b) Disobey god for one lifetime and spend the rest of eternity burning in hell
Of course, my immediate answer is b. However...I have to stretch my imagination a bit here and try to envision the fantasy you have outlined.

Okay. There is a god. *stretches, stretches, can't quite...okay, I'll pretend...*

This god wants women to be subservient to men. *stretch, stretch, innate need to tell this deity to stick it in its ear....okay, got it*

There is a hell. *stretches, stretch---snap*

Sorry. I'll try again.

Ok.

The problem is, I wouldn't just be obeying this god. I would be obeying men too. All men. One deity I could handle. A couple billion semi-deities and one deity, not. So, I think I'd take the dubious 'punishment' of hell over a lifetime of subservience.

Of course, that's assuming I would have the same values I do now, which is unlikely if I were raised in a society that really believed such things. So, plop me into such a society now, I choose b. Plop me into one from birth, I probably wouldn't be able to conceive of a b choice.

I'm ashamed to answer this one.

You see...my parents are kind of old hippies. My dad fixed up an old VW camper van and I lived in it during high school, and my first year of University. Not drove. Lived in. That's right. I loved it! To my parents, mini-vans (which I have) are the height of yuppiedom. Also, all shades of red are anathema to my parents. Red signifies yuppiedom as well. So what do I have? A sensible, burgundy mini-van. My mom wants to disown me, but my dad says there's no point since I'm already living on my own:).

Hmmmm...in what way does she want you to 'step up' with the kids? I suspect she doesn't just mean carrying them around. What does she ask you to help her with, specifically?

Your wife sounds a bit like me. I tend to let things stew in my brain, not say anything, and then get so worked up emotionally that I explode. It's a curse. My husband rarely sees it coming. I'm just not good (believe it or not) at confrontation, and yet that's how these things end up...VERY confrontational. If you will forgive your wife's methods, and peer into the heart of the problem (which to her no doubt right now IS a very big deal), you'll probably be able to deal with this. Hoping she'll calm down and it will go to way probably won't work...she WILL calm down, but this will keep brewing until she explodes again. Just remember...not everyone is a good communicator. I'm not. She might not be. It's hard to verbalise feelings. I am immensely thankful that my husband is able to discount the horrid things I have said in the heat of the moment. It's like my brain shuts down and I become a cursing madwoman. He often stands there stunned for a moment and then goes,

"I had no idea you felt that way. It's not a problem..sure I can...*insert solution to problem here*. Why didn't you say something before?"

Then I have to remind myself for the millionth time that neither of us are mind readers. I never seem to learn the lesson though.

One of the problems is-the bar is set a little higher for me. I work out of a home office now, so I am always available to do many things she would normally be trying to juggle if I had to leave everyday. I guess more is expected of me then. Now is a good example-I'll be running my oldest to the dentist for a regular appointment.I think she misses the whole point I made this job-so I could see a little more of my family and get a little more done around the house. (Not to mention saving a fortune in fuel and wear and tear commuting.) My last job was 70 hrs,sometimes more per week. I never saw my children awake. This is the opposite and I think she forgot what it was like.

This is a tough one. It's hard when we have certain expectations about what each person should be doing but never really come out and state those expectations (the root of this weekends blowout). Does your wife work out of the home? So, you are working at home, and while she no doubt understand intellectually that this does not mean you are 'free' to all the housework and care for the kids, she probably kind of expects more from you simply because you ARE there. Was she really stressed out when you were gone so much (again, I need to know if she stays home or not)? Is she stressed with you home (because it's hard to get used to, really, if your spouse is often away. You get into routines that are hard to break out of)?

I have no idea. I wake basically on the three hour mark, though sometimes it's as little as two or as much as five. Since I'm trying to get to sleep at about midnight... an hour to fall asleep is about 1 - 1:30... then I'm usually back awake by 4-5, and I can't get to sleep again til about midday where I sleep for 8 hours, or thereabouts.

It can only keep you up so long. Then you crash. Sleeping during the day to make up for it isn't helping either. Sleep is a bitch. I haven't had unbroken sleep in four years (that's since I had my first daughter). You learn to compensate. Try cutting down on the caffeine and not eating after six. Then try winding down an hour before you actually go to bed. A bath. A movie. A book. Anything that WON'T key you up. Do some relaxation when you actually do go to bed. Close your eyes and picture your body as though it was a 3D grid (black and featureless with blue grid lines perhaps). Focus on an area of your body, and imagine the gridlines of that area being filled with a blue colour. Relax that area as you picture it. Do it slowly...it's hard at first, but it gets easier with practice. Start from your toes, one toe and a time, and work your way up. When you have relaxed yourself as much as possible, imagine yourself at the top of a long flight of winding stairs. Count yourself down...start with a fairly high number like 150 steps. Imagine each step (still relaxed) and count until you reach the bottom (eventually you won't need so many). When you hit the bottom, you come to a door. Open the door and float through it. If you aren't asleep by then, just try your hardest not to focus on any one thought. Drift as much as you can, relaxed, until you can fall asleep.

*shrug* It doesn't always work, but it's worth a try!

Na. I'm still me and not HerPower. You'll find a way to forgive me.

What do you think of the fact that I seriously concider myself holy just for fun, as well as the fact that I like to laugh insanely?

What do you think of the fact that if I wanted, I could decide that according to my belief, you would be unusually holy? (not that it matters much, as I'm the only person in the world using fREaKy Belief v0.3.0+)

If I ever manage to release a complete distribution of my belief somehow, possible to install on anyone's brain, would you install it?

What do you think about my obsession of fluff?

I don't really think much about any of that. Except for the fluff. That kind of obsession I can understand.

Well, the first time I really remember noticing you was when you spammed my thread with dead baby jokes. Then, it was in anti-American threads, steadfastly patriotic:).

To be honest? Well, you only gave me one variant, but I'll make my own...1 is very much wanting to look, 10 is not at all. I'd say I'm about a 9. Why? Things are usually better left to the imagination, and frankly, the male member is not really one of those things I admire for its artistic line and shadowing. Besides...if I really knew the underwear question, I'd stop thinking about it, and life would be boring!

In my opinion, smiting your enemies and hearing the lamentations of their women.

No...the meaning of life is to enjoy it to the fullest, and to ensure that you are limited in that enjoyment to the least extent possible by the actions and prejudices of others, and are able to have the opportunity to enjoy it. So basically, ongoing struggle and peaceful revolution.
