  • @kpearse99 I would probably rather to be able to talk to land animals as I think it would be awesome to talk to my cat and dog lol. 

    Would you rather have unlimited international first class tickets, or never have to pay for food at restaurants? 
  • @mindyb2019 I would probably never have to pay for food, if that includes any and all coffee shops! 

    Would you rather be stuck on a broken ski lift or in a broken elevator?
  • -Covered in fur.
    -Solid tops, I don't wear much pattern as it is. I'm boring. Currently wearing black leggings and a grey top. 
    -Land animals so I can talk with my dog and cat. I probably need more friends. 
    -Food at restaurants. I feel like I could save that money and quickly pay for an international flight which I would probably only take once a year.
    -Broken ski lift for sure. Depending on where you were you could maybe jump down and if you gotta do your business you won't be trapped with it for who knows how long. 

    Would you rather be forced to dance every time you heard music or be forced to sing along to any song you heard?

     :D  :D:D  I laughed so hard at that! haha

    Man, your's is a hard one, @krash_ I love to dance and sing hahaha I guess i'd have to go with being forced to dance, because at least I could dance subtly in my seat if we were out at a restaurant or something like that.

    Would you rather be able to be invincible or have the power of flight?

  • @mindyb2019. Lurking, but love your question.  I had the clear answer of Not paying for food at restaurants.  My husband says international tickets all the way.  He is currently polling his work team and two votes for tickets and one vote for food.  A lively debate has been sparked which is brightening our quarantine day.  Sending love and thanks for the awesome questions ladies!!  
  • These are hilarious! Gonna answer them all just for fun, haha.

    -fur because that feels less weird for me as a mammal
    -solid colors all the way, not a big fan of patterns
    -land animals so I can talk to my pets, like many others lol
    -free restaurant food vs. free plane tickets is a tough one... I think I'm going free plane tickets
    -I'm thinking elevator would be more comfortable so that's my pick
    -dancing seems less annoying to those around me, so I guess I'll go with that
    -flight I think, because being invincible seems like it could have some downsides

    Would you rather always feel a little bit cold or always feel a little bit hot?
  • I also want to answer all of them for fun, lol. 

    - fur, because I feel like it would hide my flab better than scales
    - I'm the opposite of @kpearse99, I prefer patterned tops and solid bottoms
    - land animals, fish are creepy, and I feel like there are birds that already talk and the rest are a big nope
    - plane tickets, 1000%. We don't eat out a whole lot.
    - oh god, neither. Being stuck somewhere is definitely one of my worst nightmares. I got stuck on a train between stations once and had a complete panic attack that ended with me lying on the ground sobbing. And no, not a single person checked to see if I was ok. When we finally started moving again I got off at the next stop and walked for over an hour the rest of the way home. 
    - I think forced to dance? Maybe? This question reminds me of the shoe Zoe's Extraordinary Playlist. 

    - I'd want to be able to fly, I feel like most of my near-death experiences have been while driving so if I didn't need a car that would be so handy. 
    - cold, I say this a lot. That feeling of being sticky and sweaty is awful, I'd rather be a little cold and I can always layer or warm up. 

    What you rather have a phone battery that never dies or a bottomless gas tank that never runs out?

  • OMG I love this game!!!

    @kiki047 - Bottomless gas tank! I can charge my phone as long as I'm driving my car that never runs out of gas!

    Would you rather be able to speak every language in the world, but never travel; or travel the world but never be able to effectively communicate with locals?

    Married in May 16, 2015
         TTC #1 (on and off) since September 2015

  • @Maggie1202 hmm, I think it would be cool to speak every language BUT I love travelling to much so I’d rather be able to travel the world but never be able to communicate with locals lol. I have no problem talking to myself 😂 

    Would you rather get a paper cut between your fingers every time you turn a page or bite your tongue every time you eat food?
  • @mindyb2019 ahhhhhh NEITHER!!!!! Both make me cringe so much! I guess I'd say paper cut every time I turn a page, and then I would just avoid pages all together!  :D

    Would you rather be a Slytherin or a Hufflepuff? (this gives me a good idea for the next GTKY ... what HP house are you?!!)

    Would you rather spend a year in jail or shorten your life by a year?

    Me: 26 DH: 27

    TTC #1 | June '18-August '18 | DD | Born April 21, 2019 | Due May 10, 2019

    Lilypie Third Birthday tickers

    TTC#2 | June '20-February '21 | DS | Due October 27, 2021

    Lilypie Maternity tickers

  • @kpearse99 I have to answer the HP question...Slytherin over Hufflepuff for sure. #HPforlife 

    @chindimples04 This one is really hard...I think I would spend a year in jail. Even though that would suck, it could be some time for personal reflection/development. I could still do something meaningful with my life for that year. Hopefully it would be a nice low-security operation lol. 

    Would you rather always have a wedgie or always have your socks slide down inside your shoes? 
  • @babyfeverbeliever a wedgie, I would just think of it as a thong  :D  I need my socks to fit right, otherwise they have got to go!

    Would you rather only be able to get pedicure/manicures or massages for the rest of you life?

    ~~Signature~~
    Me: 36, DH: 38, Together since: 2006, Married: 9/2011 
    **TW Living Child**

    BFP 9/19/20 - EDD - 6/1/21

    BFP 2/2014 - DS - 10/2014


  • @DoubleUp8 hmm, omg both are so nice. I’d prob say to get pedicures/manicures because I hate when I toes and nails don’t have any polish on them. They look weird and naked lol 

    Would you rather have your flight delayed by 8 hours or lose your luggage? 
  • @mindyb2019 100% flight delay. Annoying, but you usually end up delayed in some way anyway when your luggage is lost. 

    Also: 
    -Definitely fur, my cat is fluffy so I would want his fur
    -patterned tops! I love patterns
    -land animals
    -plane tickets, I love first class
    -ski lift
    -dancing
    -I would love to fly! 
    -Cold, being hot is the worst (why do I love in the Deep South?) 
    -Gas tank
    -Travel and not communicate. I have done it before, dont underestimate the power of miming! 
    -Hufflepuff
    -Shortened life (tough one for sure, but I would not do well in jail)
    -Wedgie. If my feet are uncomfortable I am not happy.
    -massages are the best

    Would you rather have the superhero ability to stop time for everything but you, or be able to read minds? 
  • @kpearse99 I’m so intrigued by your HP question. Are you implying those are the 2 worst houses and it would be hard to choose between them?
  • @bows22 I am kind of implying that. Many people don't wanna be a Hufflepuff (Which I don't understand why!!) and well... Slytherin usually ends up evil  :D Most of the time when you ask people which house is their favorite they either say Ravenclaw or Gryffindor.  Put me down for Hufflepuff though ;)

  • @kpearse99 that’s why I was asking! I wasn’t sure if you realized how much hufflepuff you have in you, my kind, just, loyal friend!
  • @kpearse99 I'm a Hufflepuff according to my sorting quiz. 😊
  • @bows22 :D:D  Oh I know hahaha I think at first I was little taken back by being sorted into Hufflepuff but now I simply embrace it!

    @gingermama29 Yes!!!
