Do you throw away socks with HOLES?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 8 Apr 07

Among the Chinese people, we view holes as a sign of wealth leaking away. You might call some of us a superstitious lot, or you might simply think us cranky. But for instance, if we discover that there is a hole in our wallet, we...

calie_j We don't have any beliefs about holes, except that it's because things aren't made as well as they used to. If I find a hole in a sock I throw it away along with another to make a pair. I hate how a hole in your sock feels and that part of your foot sticks to...

Do you feel uncomfortable when someone stands too close to you?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 6 Apr 07

Today is Good Friday and I met up with some friends for lunch. None of us is a Christian so we were just taking the opportunity to catch up. I took the train to my destination and it was quite a crowd. It is a public holiday and...

calie_j If I'm in a crowded place which I'm assuming was the situation since you all were standing on the train, then no it doesn't really bother me tho I do become more aware of my surroundings and safety. I would probably not say anything or would move myself if I...

Do you eat sauerkraut?

hockeygal4ever @hockeygal4ever (10021) • United States 3 Apr 07

I love the stuff and all of my kids do too. Oddly enough when I was growing up I used to call it "skin" and wouldn't touch the stuff! LOL Now we love sauerkraut and pork roast, sauerkraut and sausage, sauerkraut on hotdogs and...

calie_j I saw that there was a chance for snow on Wednesday, but no winter advisories here in WI yet. Guess I'll have to keep an eye on it to see if it's heading out way next. I can't believe I had the air conditioning on one day last week when it hit 80 and now we...

jenbatres @jenbatres (799) • United States 1 Apr 07

My daughter is having her 10th birthday party in June. She would like to have a mini prom theme. I am looking for age appropriate music for the party -- there can't be vulgarity. Definately no barney, wiggles or anything too...

Do you arrange the money in your wallet?

lordwarwizard @lordwarwizard (35747) • Singapore 1 Apr 07

I am not sure if this is again another idiosyncrasy of mine... I like to arrange the dollar notes in my wallet. For instance, I might have $78 in my wallet right now. Making up this amount, I have 1 $50 note, 2 $10 notes, 1 $5...

calie_j I arrange my dollars the same way except I think mine are in the opposite order. I always put the smaller dollars in the middle with the larger ones on the outside. I know you're supposed to do this the other way so if you pull them all out potential pick...

calie_j I shave my legs & underarms. Sometimes in the winter I'll let them go for up to a week since noone sees your legs then anyway, but I like how it feels to have shaved legs and couldn't let the hair grow too long. I've always used an electric razor. I may have...

Eating out????

sarah22 @sarah22 (3979) • United States 31 Mar 07

When you have your kids out with you to eat. Do you pick out what they should eat, or you let them?

7 responses

calie_j When they were little I'd give them a choice of 2 or 3 things to choose from so it didn't overwhelm them and made it easy to pick. After they got older and could read the menu I would give them any restrictions, like no pancakes at the breakfast served all day...

calie_j @calie_j (31) • United States 30 Mar 07

I have a dr's appointment in a few weeks and I'm sure they will want to do a cholesteral test. I am going to refuse it for these reasons: Medically I am healthy, not overweight, and in my late 30's. I also don't see the point;...

calie_j Definately dinner. Breakfast choices are pretty standard and I can make most of those menu items at home pretty easily. Dinner has alot more choices and things I wouldn't want to spend the time making at home.

Do you fall asleep in front of the tv?

calie_j @calie_j (31) • United States 27 Mar 07

I can't fall asleep with the tv on. I don't understand why people will sleep in a chair with the tv on? If they're tired why don't they just get up and go to bed? And if you wake them up and tell them to go to bed why don't they?
