vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 22 Jul 08

I was just watching a program about hypnosis. I have a hard time believing in it. Hypnosis is defined as an "artificially induced trance state resembling sleep, characterized by heightened susceptibility to suggestion." Do you...

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 19 Jun 08

I can't sleep anywhere, but my bed. I rarely fall asleep on the couch and I never fall asleep anywhere else. I can't sleep in cars or on planes. I have to get into my bed to get any sleep. My daughter can fall asleep anywhere...

Do as I say or do as I do?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 19 Jun 08

I grew up in a "do as I say, not as I do" type of home. I try to be a "do as I do" type of mom to my 12 year old daughter. I think we lead by example and if our kids see us doing the right things it will make it easier for them to...

When you make your bed do you tuck your sheets in?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 13 Jun 08

I don't tuck my sheets in. I have a habit of sticking my feet out the side or bottom of my sheets. They get hot so I just pull the sheets off them and let them hang out. Most people I know tuck them in, at least at the bottom. How...

Do you use the GPS or a map?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 13 Jun 08

I still use a map. I suppose a GPS would be easier, but I just haven't been bothered to get one. If I am going somewhere unfamiliar I have my trusty map nearby and I usually go onto MapQuest and print out the directions. How about...

Do you use the bathroom during a thunderstorm?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 10 Jun 08

I am not trying to be a pervert, there is a reason I ask this. Last night we had a heck of a storm and it lasted quite a while. In the middle of the storm nature called in a different way. I have always been taught to stay out of...

Do you procrastinate?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 7 Jun 08

I am a terrible procrastinator. I used to be all about getting things done in a timely manner. Then a few years ago I became disabled and now I procrastinate over everything. I don't know if it is because I figure I have so much...

Are you like Tim Allen or Bob Villa?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 3 Jun 08

I had a clamp on a pipe break loose last night. So I grabbed a hose clamp and fit it on until I can fix it properly. It got me to thinking sometimes I do okay on small jobs. I can fix the car a bit and do small home repairs....

Don't you just hate it when there is no toilet paper?

vicneedscoffee @vicneedscoffee (1259) • United States 2 Jun 08

I just walked into the bathroom and sure enough there is an empty roll hanging there. This happens in my house all the time. Why can't people just change it? It's not that hard. Then when I say something about it the other people...
