Would you rather... and other questions.

elannis

Just because I'm bored and don't want to work...

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.

Skydiving I think. I don't think i'd seeing the ground come at me that fast....but at least with skydiving you have a shoot to slow you down!

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
Win a million and share it. How awesome would that be?

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
Alcohol. I honestly don't drink that much anyway, so it wouldn't be that hard to give up.

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
I'm not sure. I don't consider going to the bathroom a big inconvenience. I'd love it it my pets never had to go to the bathroom again though!

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
BF and I are both left-handed and hope to have left-handed kiddos.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.
I lost 17 pounds and I feel amazing!
The CEO of my company actually stopped by my office yesterday to ask advice on something and complement my work - and I thought that was pretty wonderful too!

Skydiving
- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
Win a million and have to spend it on other people
- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
alcohol - i could give it up (not that i would necessarily WANT to lol) - but chocolate?? No, that is a necessity
- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
lol Ummm.... not sure - i've never thought about that actually
- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
Ummmmm.... I graduated high school at 16?
- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.
Up until this week, I was going to the gym at least 3 times a week for at least 45 min to an hour

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?  skydiving

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?  million dollars

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?  alcohol

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again?  no bathroom.  Save money on TP

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?  I can not sleep with the door open.  I can be out cold, but if someone (or the air) opens the door even a tiny bit I wake right up and have to close it.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself. Relearned how to multiply, divide, add, and subtract polynomials

caitlin.cave

Yeesh.  Skydiving, because I feel like by the time it gets real that you're falling, you're doing it slowly because you've deployed the parachute. haha

I'd rather spend a million dollars on my friends, honestly.  I can go on a week-long cruise if I want to, but I don't have the opportunity to give the people I love a gift like that. If I spent that much on them, they'd probably SEND me on a cruise. lol

Definitely never have alcohol again.  No contest.  I don't like alcohol, and I live on chocolate.

As to the bathroom thing... I wouldn't, because I feel like then you couldn't eat ever.  Where would it go?  I would, however, eliminate throwing up.

I was in an amateur ballet company when I was younger.

I just got my second exam back, and I have an A in my hardest class, so that was gratifying.

Stina51286

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?

eek ummm bungee jumping? I hate heights

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?

win a million dollars and spend it on family and friends

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?

This one is easy for me, I don't like chocolate

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).

Interesting question, not sure! Sometimes I go to the bathroom just to get away from people.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?

I thought of something the other night and now I cannot remember.
- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself

Honestly, nothing right now. This week has been crazy and really haven't done anything to feel awesome about.

DanieKA

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?

SKYDIVING! Fi and I are planning on doing eventually.

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?

The million dollars. I'm don't have a huge compulsion to go cruising.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?

WHY?!?!?! I honestly think I would never have chocolate again. There are a whole host of sweets and desserts I could still indulge in, but be alcohol free??? I don't think so!

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).

YES! It's not that I hate going to the bathroom, but I hate public restrooms. It's one of my things. I just hate all public bathrooms. 

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?

Hmm. I have one tattoo and FI's back is almost completely covered (but when wearing a shirt you can't tell he's tatted up at all, which I like). 

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.

Signed up for a month long workout program. Not bootcamp, but structured about kettlebells (or kettleballs. I can't remember) I've done two classes so far and it's rough, but I feel good about doing it. 

Swazzle

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?
Neither. I'm afraid of heights!

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
Spend a million on my family & friends

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
Never have chocolate again

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
Sure, why not.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
I absolutely LOVE the smell of sausage but I hate the way it tastes.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.

I joined the gym (and actually went).

QuiltingNurse

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?
Neither. I have a recently developed fear of heights.

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
Spend it on family and friends. They would appreciate it more.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
That is too hard to decide. Today I say I would give up alcohol just because I want chocolate so bad, but most other days I would rather give up chocolate sinceI don't crave it too often.

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
Nope. I would like to be able to go on road trips without having to pee every 2 minutes, but otherwise it doesn't bother me at all.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
I have one tattoo but I would never get another. I think the one I have is special (which is why I got it), but in general I don't really like the look of them.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.

I got an e-mail yesterday from someone at work saying I did a really good job on my resident assessment and care planning which was forwarded on to management. After having an awful day there wednesday, it was nice to get that right when I got in on Thursday to bring up my confidence.

elannis

I love everyone's answers.

So now I'm adding/changing one:

If you could, would you rather:
 - win one million dollars, but have to spend it on total strangers without any background info
 
OR

- win 100,000 dollars and spend it on yourself?

You would make this more difficult Elannis!

I would love to be that generous, but since BF hasn't worked in 2 years I'd probably take the money right now. I'd probably take each side of the family on a big trip each and then put the rest in savings for our wedding, a future house and kiddos.

swhite2012

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?

Neither because heights freak me out, but if I had to choose one it would be bungee jumping.

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?

Other people

If you could, would you rather:

100,000 on myself.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?

Well I'm not a big chocolate person or a big drinker, but I would say alcohol.

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).

Nah, sometimes that bathroom break excuse is a good way to get out of a situation.

I used to want to be a marine biologist (sorry, I got nothing right now)

I got into my first choice grad school!

nyc1210

Skydiving.

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
The million to spend on family and friends.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
I'm not a big drinker, but I love chocolate. I don't think I could ever give it up.

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
Are we talking number 1 or number 2? Haha. I wish I didn't have to pee every five minutes. I cut soda out and all the water I'm drinking makes me have to go about 10x as much as I used to. I know it's healthier, but it's so inconvient.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
Hm... I faint at the sight of my own blood, and I'm in cosmetology school. It actually didn't occur to me that I could cut myself doing hair until one of the other students did. Luckily, I haven't yet.

I hit 1200 hours at school. I only have to get 1500 to graduate, so I should be done in May! Woot!

elannis

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?
i'd rather go sky diving. it's also for the reason that the ground seems so far away and you slowly get to it. lol

 - rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
i'd spend it on others rather than take a cruise.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
i'd have to give up alcohol. chocolate is a necessity!

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
I would because i hate public bathrooms, I hate always having to pee 15 times a day. I hate diarhea. It would save money on a toilet, and also water from flushing and washing hands, and then toilet paper too! i'd still want to eat though, so i'm not sure how that'd work, lol.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
I have to have special plates because I hate the kind with the design on them. I cannot stand when someone scrapes their fork on a place, and it's like 100 times worse when it has the design and it makes it louder and screechier. I get chills just thinking about it.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.
This week has particularly sucked, but I did start a new project on the sewing machine. I decided I was tired of having no local friends and nothing to do, so I'm going to start to learn how to sew and possibly try to find someone in town that can help me, even if it's an old lady, lol. So I'm excited about that. Oh, and I made a cool spreadsheet to save me a ton of money on groceries!

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
If I took the million dollars I'd probably just give it all to BF and some to my best friend so it would kind of be like me getting it any way.

 - win one million dollars, but have to spend it on total strangers without any background info OR win 100,000 dollars and spend it on yourself?
I'd rather spend $100,000 on myself.

Never have chocolate again. I'm not a huge fan of chocolate so this was an easy one for me

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again?
Yes I would.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
I'm not sure if I've mentioned it or not but I hate chickens. I like eating chicken, I just don't like the actual birds. They are creepy and mean.

I actually am too. My parents have chickens and they always tease me and ask if I want to go feed them or go get eggs. They think it's hilarious. They have one chicken who will actually jump up on you when she sees you with the food dish too. So they think I should go feed her. They're cruel people, lol.

I actually have gone to get eggs when my parents were out of town, but I had to shoo the chickens out of the coop with a broom and would run out if one came back in. It's ridiculous, but they just look like little dinosaurs.

Sky diving, I think the recoil on the bungee would make me more nervous. 

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?

Win a million dollars and spend it on my family.  I think the happiness I can give them would be better than a week on a cruise ship.

No contest, I don't drink so really its a no brainer.

I would go for it, hell the time I cut out from having to go to the bathroom to relieve myself, I could be doing so many other things and not be afraid of doing activities and having to go potty.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?

That's a tough one I do admit a lot of random things about myself.  As a kid I used to have these weird muscle spasms in  my face when I'm sleeping.  My face muscles would spasm and I wake up feeling like I couldn't control them.  I would have to massage my cheeks to make them stop.  Scared the beejusus out of my mom.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.

Posting a pick of myself at SUP wearing only a bikini top and bottoms.  Not that I think I look good but at least I'm comfy with myself to do so.  Which makes me proud of myself.

melmac86

-rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?
Neither. I am terrified of heights.

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
Win the money and spend it on everyone else. I could save up for a cruise a lot faster than saving a million and changing the lives of my loved ones.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
Never have alcohol again. I'm not a huge drinker anyway. I could never give up chocolate. My BF would be running for the hills during my time of the month if I couldn't have chocolate.

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).
Yes, absolutely. Sometimes needing the bathroom is so inconvenient. Like really having to go, but being absolutely terrified of that tiny "bathroom" on your 5 hour flight.

- one really weird/random fact about you that you've not mentioned before?
I have a half brother (from dad/stepmom) and a half sister (from mom/stepdad) that were born on the exact same day, within a couple hours of each other.

- name one thing that you've done recently that made you feel good about yourself.
Carried groceries for this little old lady struggling in the cold and snow as she was walking from the store back to her apt. She said nobody's ever offered to do that for her before and it broke my heart </3

Edit to include new question - I'd take the $100,000 because I'd still be able to have a nice down payment on a house AND help out my family.

I love them when they have fuzz. They still scare me, but I will hold them. Once the fuzz changes to feathers, I want nothing more to do with them. Nobody believes me either when I tell them I'm afraid they'd peck my eyes out or slice me open with their talons. Velociraptors were in the bird family, right?

Just because I'm bored and don't want to work...

bungee jumping - at least I'd be connected to something (though my fear of heights makes me scared of both options)

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
million dollars

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
Well, I don't indulge in either often, but I'd rather give up chocolate than alcohol.  I like wine.

I'm looking forward to going to a convention on table-top gaming (includes D&D) which Brian Sanderson and Tracy Hickman are attending.  And I get to go do true dungeon (truedungeon.com) as long as we manage to get the tickets on May 20th.

I spray painted a vase.  And I have a lamp primed (though I need a second coat).

flygirlmeg

- rather go skydiving or bungee jumping?
Um.  Neither.  I went skydiving in 2010 and my primary chute didn't open right.  We had to use the secondary.  Everyone on the ground and that jumped after me could tell (including FI) because the secondary was a different color.  It was a fun experience but I think I'm done with it. 

- rather win a million dollars and have to spend it all on other people (family, friends) or win a cruise for yourself for 1 week?
Show me the money!!  I would much rather have the ability to be super generous with our friends and family than spend it on a cruise.  Besides, I'm not a huge cruise fan.

- rather never have alcohol again or never have chocolate again?
Never have chocolate.  Really don't think I want to think about life without wine and vodka.

- if it were possible, would you decide to never have the need to go to the bathroom ever again? (not sure how this would work, just a hypothetical. I asked FI and he said no, because sometimes it's just satisfying to go, lol).

I have a chicken pox scar on my left eyelid in the shape of a maruis-cut diamond

This is totally silly but . . . 20 GOOD pushups.  I have my PT test and I usually max out the test at 42 pushups but I haven't been working as hard.  So the 20 I did made me feel strong.  Now I just need to knock out a few more!!
