Where’s the line between respectful disagreement and being downright mean (bullying) to someone?
I’d say that lies somewhere between but if you look at it THIS way and holy hell, are you BLIND?!
Would you prefer to live in a world where alcohol was free or where politicians were honest?
Yikes. This has to be an either/or? Fine, then, I’ll just keep paying for those Lemon Drops and enjoy a world of politicians who are unrelentingly honest about their hopes, dreams, and what they’ll be willing to trade to achieve them.
What’s one habit you have that your family or friends think is rather childish?
Well, if they think I’m being terribly childish then they’ve had the good sense not to point that out to me.
Would you rather go to a big party and rub shoulders with the rich and famous or go to an amazing quiet Garden that hardly anyone has ever visited?
I am definitely more the quiet garden type.
Halloween Question: What do you think of the idea of “trick or treat or money for a charity” as a way of making Halloween more useful?
The idea is a solid one but the truth is Halloween=candy for most of us and I think that would be a hard nut to crack. Plus the thought of having a bowl of dollars beside the gluten free, peanut free, dairy free candy supply makes me break into a cold sweat. I vote for keeping Halloween the holiday of dentists’ dreams.

Who raises children this way ? That all things need to be useful !?!?!?!!!!!! Eeggad ! Are they bound and determined to turn this into one of Dante’s levels of hell ? When the question is a choice between free alcohol and honest politicians it is a sign that whoever made up these questions took a seriously wrong turn at morning coffee and the day has not gotten any better since then.

True. I almost think the free alcohol ought to be a reward for putting up with dishonest politicians — lie to your constituents, buy us all a drink! That sounds like a motivating factor to me!!

For me definitely honest politicians.
Candy for Halloween. Can’t we keep something fun, with no practical agenda. I’m also old-fashion and believe Halloween costumes are suppose to be gruesome or scary.

I still remember the year my kiddo transitioned from princess costume to (I think) zombie bride. I just looked at her sideways and shrugged — no idea where she got the desire, we don’t exactly watch scary/gory movies, but she had a blast with the hair and makeup.

The perfect scary Halloween costume is a Dentist. But got to keep the sweets (candy) and chocolates.

Agreed. We used to be *those* parents who rationed their kids candy — they’d still have Halloween goodies left by the time Christmas rolled around! Still, SUGAR.
