Daaaaamn it's quiet in here! I swear I can hear crickets chirping every time I open the board page. So let's liven it up a bit, OK?
* * * * *
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body?
Do you believe in astrology?
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want):
You find a mysterious old lamp in an antique store. You give it a rub and voila! A genie pops out! He presents you with a unique offer: you can have a perfect body for the rest of your life...but in return, you have to give up some IQ points. Do you take the deal? If so, how many IQ points are you willing to give in exchange?
You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go?
Pickles: yay or nay?
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
2) What do you do for a living?
Do you seasonally decorate your house?
A major corporation approaches you and asks if you'd be willing to get their logo tattooed on your body - you can name your price. Rules:
- it must stay on your body for at least 5 years
- it must be at least 3"x3"
- it must be positioned on a generally visible bodypart
Do you accept? If so, how much would you charge? (Extra special magical bonus points: name the corporation you'd be OK with doing this for.)
Re: Poll of Randomness
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body? I'd say seasonally. I'm not a big shopper - I usually do 3-4 big trips a year, but seldom buy things in between unless I need something specific (e.g., a new bathing suit or a dress to attend a wedding).
Do you believe in astrology? Not in the least. I just find it...odd.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want):I don't have the body shape for this and am not even sure why I like it. Maybe it's my inner magpie? OOOOH! SHINY!

He presents you with a unique offer: you can have a perfect body for the rest of your life...but in return, you have to give up some IQ points. Do you take the deal? If so, how many IQ points are you willing to give in exchange? I'm embarrassed to say HELL YES. As o how many points...10 or 15, maybe? Sad, I know.
You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go? I'm thinking Bora Bora sounds nice right now. Plus their airport code is BOB, and it would be awesome to fly in/out of BOB lol.
Pickles: yay or nay? YAY! Especially in a sandwich with peanut butter. Nom nom nom...
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wavered between an Olympic horse rider (clearly I didn't understand that most of these people have actual jobs lol) or a ballerina.
2) What do you do for a living? Currently SAHM. Most recently a librarian.
Do you seasonally decorate your house? I don't even un-seasonally decorate it. I think most people on the nest/bump would be horrified at how undecorated our home is lol.
A major corporation approaches you and asks if you'd be willing to get their logo tattooed on your body - you can name your price. Rules:
As to what corporation...let me think about that and get back to you. Sometimes I forget I'll be answering my own questions lol.
- it must stay on your body for at least 5 years
- it must be at least 3"x3"
- it must be positioned on a generally visible bodypart
Do you accept? If so, how much would you charge? (Extra special magical bonus points: name the corporation you'd be OK with doing this for.)
Since I could get it removed after a few years, I'd do it. I'd charge, oh....$1 million a year? $5mil is fair, right? Who cares that I'm not a celebrity!
Haha, these always have hilarious (elaborate!) questions.
* * * * *
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body? Probably seasonally as well. I'll buy a bunch at once and that's about it.
Do you believe in astrology? Not really. You can make anything pertain to you if you try hard enough. Just like psychics.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want): Hmm... I don't really have anything I REALLY want... can I say a trip somewhere?
You find a mysterious old lamp in an antique store. You give it a rub and voila! A genie pops out! He presents you with a unique offer: you can have a perfect body for the rest of your life...but in return, you have to give up some IQ points. Do you take the deal? If so, how many IQ points are you willing to give in exchange? Hah. Of course. Does this mean I can eat anything and everything I want? Hell to the yes. Probably 10ish points as well.
You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go? where we went on our honeymoon - JADE MOUNTAIN in St. Lucia! PS - yes, that's a room there. Isn't it to die for?
Pickles: yay or nay? Yum.
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
2) What do you do for a living? A doctor. Hah. And now I manage money.
Do you seasonally decorate your house? No. But I love my MIL's house where it's constantly Christmas. There's been a fake tree up (decorated and all) for the last... 5 years? I think more, though. Haha.

Do you accept? If so, how much would you charge? (Extra special magical bonus points: name the corporation you'd be OK with doing this for.) Heck yeah because I'd be charging $10M a year! Haha. Greedy. Umm... I'd be pretty open to the company, as long as it's "respectable" and not PornHub or something, haha! If anyone asked/made fun I'd be like "psh, I'm getting paid $10M a year to wear this, laugh all you want!"
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body? ha! option D - or until they don't fit, which is my current predicament with Weight Watchers.
Do you believe in astrology? eh, some of it can be quite interesting. For instance, my mom saved my horoscope from the day I was born, and it was not just the regular Sagitarius (sp?) one, but one for people born that day, and it was pretty right on when I read it later in life.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want): I can never figure out how to PIP. I'll link. I want "The Shirt" but I can't justify an $88 shirt. This is an awesome invention.

He presents you with a unique offer: you can have a perfect body for the rest of your life...but in return, you have to give up some IQ points. Do you take the deal? If so, how many IQ points are you willing to give in exchange? Very few...
You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go? I'd say Australia, but I'd want it to be longer. So, I'll go Jamaica.
Pickles: yay or nay? oh def yay
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? When I was little, I wanted to be a teacher, but I always knew I wanted to do something that paid much more. When I was a young teenager, I decided I wanted to be an actuary - when I got to college and realized you had to study 300 hours/exam, which was your basis for raises and promotions, I decided to look for something else.
2) What do you do for a living? operations research analyst
Do you seasonally decorate your house? We have some decorations for certain holidays, but not necessarily for seasons. And even those are few and far between since some are things LO could normally reach. We're not sure what to do about the Xmas tree this year - I think we might put it in a playpen again!

Interesting - obviously depends on who it's for. Maybe Disney? It would have to be someone I believe in, but I also couldn't let it show at work. Not coming up with anything, really...
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body? I used to wait until they were thread bear I hate shopping. But lately its been seasonal (post season for the sales).
Do you believe in astrology? YES!!! Totally into it had my chart done and everything.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want): These Cole Hann Air pumps...how do you PIP easily??https://www.colehaan.com/colehaan/catalog/product.jsp?sizeDescription=&catId=100&productId=396056&productGroup=396057&pwpHash=shop,pwp,c-100/f-10001+70016+4294966411/ipp-40/pn-2&scrX=0&scrY=1510

You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go? Great Barrier Reef!!!
Pickles: yay or nay? YAY
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Rich and Famous!! When I was a teenager I wanted to be a back up dancer for Janet Jackson.
2) What do you do for a living? IT Project Manager...neither rich nor famous.
Do you seasonally decorate your house? Yes just a little. Right now I have a fall theme going on in the kitchen. Soon I will put up Holloween stickies in the window.

Do you accept? If so, how much would you charge? (Extra special magical bonus points: name the corporation you'd be OK with doing this for.) Yes. $5 Million up front mill/year) . I would accept this from Apple. THIS woiuld make me rich and famous no???
OMG - I always wanted to be a backup dancer for Janet Jackson, too! Too bad I quit jazz when I was 10.
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body?
Whenever I get sick of what I have or feel like it's not "in" anymore. Or when I see something cute. Not too often, really, though.
Do you believe in astrology?
Somewhat, but I don't live and breathe by it. I think the personality descriptions are pretty spot on for me.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want):
Chanel wallet on chain. If only it wasn't so $$$$$$.

Hell, yes. Does that make me superficial? I can afford to give up some IQ points. Maybe just 10, though. LOL.
You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go?
With or without the LO? If it's without, I'd say Tahiti or Fiji. If I'm bringing the LO, probably somewhere in Europe. Italy or France, probably.
Pickles: yay or nay?
NAY.
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?
Ha. Lots of things. I wanted to do research and find a cure for cancer. That was the most serious one I can remember.
2) What do you do for a living?
Right now, nothing. SAHM, I guess. But I'll go back to being an RN someday, probably.
Do you seasonally decorate your house?
Somewhat. I really wanna get decorations for every holiday because I want Kaya to have that memory. And Target always has super cute stuff!

Hmm. $5 million? Okay, honestly, I'd probably do it for less. Like $1 million. Especially if it was, say, Starbucks. LOL.
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body? Entirely.Too.Often. But it's usually on sale!
Do you believe in astrology? Sort of, I find it fun to read but I don't hold much truth to it
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want):
I have an Anthropologie problem right now.

Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? Firefighter, paleontologist, dancer, a soap star named "Cooki" (no idea where that one came from, I was like 5)
2) What do you do for a living? Engineering manager for a large software company - so, ummm, none of those things but maybe I can still be Cooki
Do you seasonally decorate your house? Sort of - I love love love Halloween, so I put up decorations but usually just in the front area of the house. And we always have a Christmas tree and lights. But that's about it.

So, I'd get the tattoo on the sides of my hands - that's generally visible, right??? I'm liking the $$ up front plus money every year, so I'd go for that and prob a million+ for both. Yeesh, not sure who I'd want to show my "support" for....
Do you believe in astrology? I was way into it when I was a pre-teen (like read it religiously every night for the next day). I don't really buy it now, at least not horoscopes. I do think there is something to when you are born relating to your personality on some level, though, probably more related to seasonal differences rather than start alignment, though.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want): I bought my mom an iPad for her birthday last month, and I am also getting MH one for his birthday in two weeks. But I don't have one!!! Me want!!!

You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go? At this very moment, Munich! I love me some Oktoberfest. Next week, though....who knows.
Pickles: yay or nay? ONLY Milwaukee brand kosher dills and/or my mom's homemade pickles. All other pickles are gross.
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!
1) When you were a little kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? A veterinarian, until I found out they need like 8 years of college. Then a commercial airline pilot until I found out most of them start out in the military.
2) What do you do for a living? An elementary music teacher
Do you seasonally decorate your house? Pretty much just for Christmas, which I go all out for (on the inside, we don't do the outside except for a wreath). I do have a pretty copper pumpkin that goes out for Halloween/Thanksgiving. We also have two goofy stuffed turkeys that sit out on a shelf for Thanksgiving, plus I do have Thanksgiving linens that are only for dinner that day since I've been hosting the past few years.
I also always have fresh flowers/greenery in a vase in the living room that change seasonally (of course!)

Do you accept? If so, how much would you charge? (Extra special magical bonus points: name the corporation you'd be OK with doing this for.)This is tough as a teacher, but probably yes. ONLY for a corporation I believe in, though (maybe FuzziBunz?), and I'd charge a fortune. I agree that a mil a year sounds about right.
How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body? seasonally? But I really don't get out shopping randomly anymore. I think the better answer is "when I need them" which doesn't mean they ones I have are rotting off me, but I start to think hmmm, the same people saw me in the outfit for the last 2 meetings, I NEED a new shirt so they don't feel sorry for me
Do you believe in astrology? not really because aquarius is so NOT me.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want):
dream big. more than anything I want a piece of property on the sound where I grew up. (i can't ever get PIP to work with my mac)

He presents you with a unique offer: you can have a perfect body for the rest of your life...but in return, you have to give up some IQ points. Do you take the deal? If so, how many IQ points are you willing to give in exchange? not sure what the norm is on IQ points?? I guess I would give up some but then I would be nervous about my employability...

2) What do you do for a living? lawyer/corp and gov't advising
Do you seasonally decorate your house? nope, except for a tree at christmas. I have a few easter things b/c I host my extended family for lunch after church.

How often do you buy clothes for yourself? Weekly? Monthly? Seasonally? Wait until the ones you're wearing rot off your body?
Rarely...I always feel like I have nothing to wear and end up wearing the same 5 outfits to work each week, but I have a hard time shopping for clothes.
Do you believe in astrology?
Not really. I'll read horoscopes every once in a while but don't put a lot of weight to them.
PIP one thing you want to buy (preferably for you, but I'll accept household or baby items if you absolutely can't come up with anything you want):
I really need/want a new laptop, but I haven't figured out what to buy yet.

If so, how many IQ points are you willing to give in exchange?
Yes, but it depends on how many IQ points I'd have to trade. I'm not really sure how the IQ scale works, but I'd want to be able to still have an intelligent conversation.
You've won a week long, all expenses paid vacation to anywhere in the world! Where do you go?
Hmmm...tough one. Either a Mediterranean Cruise or and African Safari.
Pickles: yay or nay?
Nay
Woohoo! A 2-part question! We're living on the edge, people!

Sure, depending on the corporation and what their business was (wouldn't do it for a porn site or cigarette company, for example). I'm pretty cheap compared to everyone else. I'd probably do it for $1 mil for all 5 years, but of course would take more if offered
