How often are you compelled to speak to a complete stranger. To compliment them on their clothing, hairstyle, to tell them they remind you of someone? I think we engage with people less and less nowadays, as we become more and more comfortable with digital communication. I think we used to be more willing to strike up a conversation for the sole purpose of communication with another person. Is this a fair assessment?

I made the conscious effort to talk to a man who was trying to buy condoms at the drugstore today. Does that count? :D

Poor thing. He seemed so embarrassed....

Depends on the content of what was said. ;)
 
Some guys have all the luck.

It was an opportunity I couldn't resist.

Not sure whether it was me biting my lip and the indecisive sounds I was making while touching the boxes or the moment I asked for his opinion that made him blush a lovely shade of crimson. Either way, it was absolutely adorable.

It was a seemingly uncomfortable moment for him....didn't realize men still fluster over such things.

I'll confess that, as a pure and full sucker for the lip bite, I can understand how that might have unnerved him.
 
Wonders if I post a question now will anybody read it. Let me go find a bear in the woods and ask him of his thoughts.

So, when faced with a decision, how do you chose what's best vs what's best for you? Often times these are not the same two things. Are you willing to give something up on order to make a descion that's for the best. And I know, it depends.......

Is this a repeat question? *squints at you*
I feel like I gave this same answer often. How I now choose is by deciding what is best for the collective we. I'm hoping what's best for me and the 'collective we' will slowly start to merge onto one track.
And yes...I am willing to give things up...if I feel it's for the better. Sometimes it's easy...sometimes it blows...

Maybe I'm repeating a theme on my topics......I'll dig a little deeper
 
Question Redo

Would you take a pill knowing that doing so would take 5years off of your life but also knowing that between now and then, you will stay in the exact same physical shape you are in right now. No "getting old" aches and pains. And if not worth 5years, how many years would you give up?
 
I think about how it's going to affect my life: good or bad. I don't think I make any decisions lightly, except my sock color.

I think I would really need to know what my life span would be without the pill before I signed up for the deal. If I were fated to die 4 years from now, then taking the pill would be an instant death sentence. If I knew that I would shave off 5 years from my 90s, I'd definitely consider it.
 
Nope. I don’t believe in any type of afterlife, so I’ll take my full time here, thank you very much. Besides, living is about the experience. Too, the truly elderly relatives I’ve seen pass on were, more often than not, ready to go. If there is any choice involved, I’d prefer to feel that way when my time comes.

*waves at JP* :cattail:

Doh. Had you asked if I wanted the physical shape I had at twenty again for the rest of my life even if it would take five years off my life, I might have been tempted.

But now, no. My shape isn't the best, aches and troubles started quite a while back (my back!) and now that I have learned to live with it, know which exercises truly do help, which moves I shouldn't make, that I really have to listen to my body and stop what I am doing as soon as my left leg announces it is going to take a nap, I already have the shape I want for the rest of my life. The mental shape, that is. My boobs will drop more, my wrinkles will deepen, my arm wings will grow, but I'll enjoy life and I'll have fun.

I'd rather let nature take its course. I'm a hideous beast as it is. Gnarly hands. Ogre like. Pushing 500lbs. It's unfortunate really. So, my only hope is that I can continue on and maybe become more beautiful if a princess would kiss me? Are any of you ladies princesses? I'll even take a spoilt daddy's girl kiss. This is your chance to turn this ogre into a prince.

Had you taken this in the direction of a Beauty and the Beast type scenario, I'd have fallen for it.

No, not a chance. I want every last moment of life I have left here on this earth. I will take the aches and pains. I will take whatever comes. Let me have as much of this life as I can get, just please keep me mentally aware and able to still know who I am, who everyone else is, and that I'm still here living my life until it's time to say goodbye.
 
No way! I have no aches and pains, health is good and my shape is desirable.
I also have a bottle of Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Aleve in full stock, stock piles of chocolate, wine and other splurges tucked away and a treadmill. I'm golden.

Such a flirt.

I would. I have seen how the devastating effects of disease and chronic conditions erode the quality of life, so I'd rather keep what I have and bow out a little early.
