Good question Minks. I think I forgive offenses toward me more easily than I forgive an offense someone commited against someone I love. Does that make sense?

What's the longest you ever held a grudge?

HAH about 2 weeks. I am good at justifying others actions and to avoid controversy, I can let it go after I talk to myself long enough about it.

Do you have any family members you refuse to talk to?

Normally I charge a flat rate of $500 per summer run, KingT - and do two sessions on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and just one session on other weekdays. In winter I have to ask $750 and retain the right to wear those strapless stick on sandals FG discovered . Can schedule a special run, just for you, perhaps by full moon, if you like.

Are you really a king?

Sounds good to me. I will instruct my Treasury department to make a withdrawal and have one of my Man servants deliver it to you.

Well, of course I'm a King. Why else would I be called King Terry?:rolleyes:

Are you really Australian and not a New Zealander on a covert mission ?:wah:

GUFFFFFAW on the last. I've had a couple of trips to New Zealand, beautiful place, and came close to marrying an Aucklander once long long ago. (I'd have made a TERRIBLE farmer's wife!!!) but I'm a fair dinkum, true blue aussie of the usual mongrel variety - a bit of German, a bit of French, a bit of Irish and a bit of I think Devonish.

Is your man servant called Brian by any chance?? Only there is this drop dead gorgeous hunk banging on my window as I type, and he's lugging a big case labelled gold bullion ????????

Gotta go!!!

Coming, Brian, Sweeeetie......................

That's a FINE question.....I'd change the last conversation I had with my first husband....who knew he'd be dead before I had another chance to say "I've loved you, despite all our differences...?

Tell me something NOBODY ELSE KNOWS......(I promise I'll never tell!)

(I do!)

That is very sad. I am sorry to read that. One of the worst things is that left unsaid, unless you believe in the hereafter.

Doesn't somebody else always know something that makes up to everything in totality? Ok then ...... I wanted to have sex with every woman I met .... OK, but don't don't spread it around ?:-6

Someone who knows how to treat a lady, who isn't consumed with money, can give backrubs & make coffee. Maybe a breakfast in bed every once in a while. He'd definitely have to love to travel! Have an adventurous, spontaneous spirit. Looks do mean a bit too.

Have you ever told a white lie to save someone's feelings?

RedGlitter · Post by **RedGlitter** » Sun Oct 22, 2006 7:21 am

That would be about 7 or 8 months ago and the guy's name is Jay. He's one of those "magazine ordained" ministers. We were at a lounge listening to the band that would be playing for my friend's wedding. Jay was soused when I got there and a few hours later, he stood up and loudly told everyone that he'd been "drivin' drunk for 30 f***in' years and hadn't had an accident yet!"

He said "I've had 13 beers and 3 daiquiris and I'm just fine!" I hated him instantly. Not because he was a lush but because he's supposed to be a man of God (ok, somewhat anyway) and yet he gets boozed up and takes everyone's life into his hands. And this jerk was the minister at my friend's wedding!

Well....somewhat. I don't smoke or drink or drug or have "loose social practices" (ahem) but I'm diabetic and don't always take my insulin; I could stand to drop some poundage and I could eat healthier.

I guess I'd have to say not very well. :-3

:) With strangers, anywhere from not at all to a slight healthy degree. I don't go out of my way to please but I do try to be reasonable.

With friends and family, yes, very much. It's important to me to be seen by my loved ones and friends as an upright, fairly decent person. I try anyway.
