Love, Don't Love, Can't Wait

Let's play a game.

You don't have to look like this to play, thankfully.

It's simple, really.

It's called, "I Love, I Don't Love, I Can't Wait."

Tell me:

One thing you love about yourself. One thing you don't love about yourself. One thing you can't wait to gain/earn/achieve in the future.

I'll start.

I LOVE...that my survival skills improve each and every day I survive.

I DON'T LOVE...that other people's words and actions still have the power to influence how I feel about myself.

I CAN'T WAIT...to experience the joy and terror of supporting myself and my child.

Want to play? Comment, share, join in. I want to know where you are.

Because wherever you are, we're all in this together.

Would You Rather?, Manners Edition.

Discussion time!

From the standpoint of simple manners, which is worse?

a) The person who never says "thank you" for courtesies shown, favors granted, or efforts expended

-or-

b) The person who routinely solicits/demands expressions of gratitude from others for every courtesy, favor, or effort.

I suppose there could be a third category for people who do both a) and b), but that would make it too easy.

Which is most irritating/least defensible?

Just wondering.

Five Kind of Simple Questions

Lightning round, Drunkards.

Go.

Answer the following questions, as well as you can, as quickly as you can.

Share our answers if you can. Hint at them if you can't.

Let me set the scene: You're in your space. Your bedroom, your kitchen, your hobby room, your goddamn car, I don't know. The one space where you feel you're most representin'. That's where you are for purposes of this post.

Deal with it.

No judgment zone here.

Now, look around and answer these questions:

1. What is the one thing that is most you?

2. What is the first thing you would sell in a garage sale/eBay listing/Craigslist post?

3. What is the last thing you would sell...etc?

4. How much do you think you would make if you sold off everything you can see that you don't want to keep?

5. How would you describe the one thing you can see that you couldn't bear to part with?

Remember, no one is making you sell off anything. This is completely hypothetical...for you.

So these questions should be easy to answer.

I can't wait to hear your answers.
