Do you sit at the table during meal times or eat in front of the tv??

greengal @greengal (4286) • United States 5 Feb 07

I like to sit with my family at the table at meal times. I gives me a feeling of togetherness and it also encourages good conversation. It's not possible at all times because a few of us are busy and eat at different times....

blastoff Most of the time we eat at the table together, but this only applies to when everyone is at home at the same time. I do have a pretty small family so it's a pretty regular occurrence, but not everyday. On special occasions like award shows and the Superbowl...

blastoff If everyone's home and eating dinner at the same time, then yeah, we definately eat at the table. It doesn't happen too often, but I have a small family so I guess it's a pretty regular thing. Although, sometimes for "special occasions" like award shows and...

emilysdabomb @emilysdabomb (360) • Philippines 5 Feb 07

I'm not sure if this has been discussed yet but I'm just curious as to how other people will celebrate Valentine's Day. Who will you celebrate it with?

blastoff A goofy little tradition: for the last 3 years I've spent Valentine's Day with 3 friends (2 girls and a guy), and we go out to dinner, see a movie, and then go to the park and play fun little word games. It's actually one of my favorite days of the year,...

blastoff I know that this is probably really bad, but I sleep about 2 hours on weekdays and then maybe about 9 hours on Friday and Saturday. It isn't intentional, it's just how things work out for me most of the time. I would say it's terrible for my health,...

If you could change one thing about yourself...

x3temptationx @x3temptationx (677) • United States 5 Feb 07

What would it be? It could be looks, personality, etc. Me, I would probably change my weight, and its tendencies to bounce around! I constantly have to work out and eat healthy to maintain a normal weight. My metabolism and...

blastoff I would like to be less impulsive, and be someone who thinks things through more carefully before acting. I have gotten in a lot of trouble before for saying stupid things which I ought to have known better than to say. So, I would like to be more cautious.

blastoff My mom is from Italy and my dad is from Russia, which I think is pretty cool. I've been to Italy a few times but unfortunately never to Russia, probably because we don't have any family left there.

Is your alarm clock set to the correct time or do you try to trick yourself????

blastoff I have mine set about 7 minutes fast, but then I also have a clock set 10 minutes fast and one set to the actual time nearby, so I can just look at those. Seems kind of silly, but I like knowing I have a little more time or something.

blastoff I saw the revival last month and I thought it was amazing. The friend I went with thought it was 'extrememly boring', but it's my favorite musical and I definitely engaged in a bit of crying. Anyway, it was awesome and I feel really lucky that I got to see...

Death Penalty yes or no?

LightninStrike @LightninStrike (5915) • Saint Vincent And The Grenadines 3 Feb 07

I know it's a very controverted topic, so i wanted you guys to help me out with different points of view, which of course will all be welcome..i am waiting for your opinions, Yes or No to death penalty?, thanks.

blastoff I am against the death penalty in all cases; I don't believe it is right to take anyone's life away no matter what they have done. Of course, if someone had murdered a family member of mine I would be furious, but I like to think that I wouldn't change my...

blastoff I wouldn't say I prefer it, but I don't have any problems with going to the movies alone. If there's something out that I really want to see, sometimes I can't find anyone to go with. I don't really feel unsafe because I figure the cinema is a pretty public...

Would you kill 1,000 people to cure aids

200207287 @200207287 (58) • United States 3 Feb 07

Would you kill 1,000 people to cure aids? What would you do?

kill

9 responses

blastoff I feel like, logically, it would save more than 1000 people and I should definitely do it. I just don't think I have it in me to kill anyone, though, let alone 1000 presumably innocent people. So, no, I guess I wouldn't.

What do you think should be done about nut allergies in schools?

ktroth @ktroth (378) • United States 2 Feb 07

Seems like there are an awful lot of kids these days with nut allergies. Most schools have "no nut" tables at lunch. My school district is even considering banning all nut products in the schools. Recently a teacher I know was...

blastoff Hm. I have a severe peanut allergy, and at my school, no one really did anything about it. My parents told me never to eat anything given to me at school, so I didn't. Being alive, it seemed to work out pretty well, although I wish some of the teachers had...

Do you think Harry Potter is for kids???

cultoffury @cultoffury (1283) • India 2 Feb 07

I never read harry potter, because I think it's for kids and not for grown ups. Once my friend said, "why don't you try it? you can't resist once you try..." Even I have felt the same, but I am afraid about my reputation as a...

blastoff Harry Potter is for everyone! Well, yeah, they're originally written for children, but those children have nearly grown up. It's not as if once you turn 17, you totally stop watching PG rated movies, right?

Does anyone use livejournal?

starr4all @starr4all (2863) 28 Dec 06

I do. I primarily use it for Fan Fic. I have a myspace.com site for keeping up with my friends. What does everyone else use their livejournal for?

blastoff I use mine primarily as a reading list for news and for fannish things, but I have a myspace and a facebook for keeping up with friends, too. Although I would estimate I'm on livejournal 500% more often.

Which is your favourite instrument in the world?

jesusfreak89ster @jesusfreak89ster (208) • India 4 Feb 07

with nearly a million members, the musical instruments family is huge, we may have just seen the ones on our part of the horizon, so which one do you like the most?

listening to music

2 responses

blastoff It's hard for me to decide, but I think I like the harpsichord best. It isn't especially versatile and it's not really popular, either, but I just love the way it sounds.
