Ever given up a hobby because you stopped enjoying it?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 19 Jul 08

I use to paint with oils, although I wasn't a great painter, but I wasn't a real slouch, either, but because of my silly 'standards', I didn't feel like my art was good enough, and tried harder and found out I no longer enjoyed...

When your wife dresses for an outing.....

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 15 Jun 08

do you have the right answer when she asks whether her outfit is right? Or, if you are the wife or partner, do you ask whether your attire is good, and do you get the answer you want? I have to say that I'm lousy with fashion,...

Ever given up your favourite food for health reasons?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 27 May 08

Whether it's for a sudden allergy, or diabetes or just because you know it's really not healthy to eat it, is there a food that you love but no longer eat because you can't? Is it a self imposed ban, or doctors orders? Is there...

What do you do in waiting rooms?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 12 May 08

Apart from the obvious answer of 'wait', how do you pass the time. Do you read the tatty magazines that are on the table in the middle of the room, watch the re-runs showing on the telly or do you stare at your thumbs as they busy...

Do you put sauce/ketchup on your food or on your plate?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 26 Apr 08

Just wondering whether you like to put it all over whatever you are eating, or put a pile on your plate for dipping? I prefer to put it on my plate and dip, especially with pastry products. I find sauce makes the pastry go soggy...

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 19 Apr 08

You know, teaspoons neatly together, tablespoons in a different pile and so on? My wife has a hard time drying the cutlery when I wash, as I toss them into the drainer any way they come out the sink(well, handles all the same...

My 5yr old son has solved the age old question!

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 31 Mar 08

Which came first, the chicken or the egg? Well, 'it was the chicken', my son told me. 'But where did the chicken come from?' I asked. 'The egg' he answered. I asked him where the egg came from. 'The chicken' came the reply. So,...

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 27 Mar 08

My 5 year old son is in week 9 of his first term at school, and he is tired, snappy, teary and just not his usual self. It is a small school, and he loves it there, and has got several certificates for his conduct, and his work....

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 15 Mar 08

Today is the 14th day of above 35 celcius(95f)heat, but for most it's been around 40C, and this is suppose to be autumn! Nights don't bring much relief, even with fans in the bedroom, but we do have air-conditioning in the...

Does your partner have the same taste in novels?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 22 Dec 07

Do you both like the same novels, and are able to read and then discuss them after you have both finished, or do they read stuff that you are not interested in? Do you like to talk about your books with others, or rather just move...

Ho, ho, ho. I mean ha,ha, ha! Is this going too far?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 15 Nov 07

A local company recruiting Santa Clauses for the jolly season has told all hopefuls that they are no longer allowed to say 'ho,ho,ho', as it can be deemed degrading to women! Instead, they are supposed to say 'ha,ha,ha'!!...

How do you make your sandwiches?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 3 Oct 07

Do you just slap your favourite fillings between a couple of pieces of bread and call it done? Or are you methodical, cutting your fillings neatly, placing them on the bread in a certain order? What is your order? Do you like them...

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 10 Sep 07

I wasn't too bad a student, though sometimes a little bit more thought could have been used in certain situations. One that I remember was when my mate and I were mucking about in class, and the teacher(one of the school's...

Do you have things all over your walls?

muscare @muscare (3068) • Australia 28 Aug 07

You know, family photos, paintings, that sort of thing, or are your walls plain. I thought I had just a few photo frames, until I really had a look. There's lots of wedding photos, photos of my son, paintings, a barometer and even...
