What's the silliest thing a child has said/done around you? A while ago I had a 2nd grader tell me that they heard one of their classmates say "what the *whispers* HECK"! I also had a 5th grader try to throw away their assignment bc they didn't want to do it. If only life were that simple! :p

Yes, that second kid's outlook on life is one I wish I still had :)
On Saturday I went in a guided tour here & we went up the tower.
http://www.thepotteries.org/tour/003.htm
A child of about 3-4 was excited to see a train pass by and expressed the hope that "the rabbit train. would come soon. This inspired much head-scratching as to what exactly the rabbit train might be, and I joked to the tour guide that if you drop a few tabs you might see the rabbit train then :)
Unfirtunately this has never happened, and I'm still waiting for the rabbit train to arrive!

Can you tell about a time you had the feeling something bad was going to happen and you were right?

Syphira’s Profile PhotoSaphira
Well let me turn this around a but to describe a time when I was terrified something would go wrong but it didn't :)

The power station looks dramatic and moving but I actually got lost in the middle of the scariest part, a big fuck-off electricity generating zone, I could hear the crackling and was worried I'd get shit as an intruder or something. A promising "way out" led to a locked gate and I was disprited but I looked again at the map and somehow found my way back to the river, then had to walk miles to my destination.
Funny how I can look back and say this but I was shitting myself at the time, I can tell you!

What are you grateful for today?

"This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer. 'I never could get the hang of Thursdays.”

It’s been ages since I sent this question out, so I thought I’d repeat it to see if your answers have changed. What topics do you like to receive questions about here? What topics, if any, do you not want to discuss?

I welcome questions on all topics and I do enjoy yours, so please carry on :)
A note to everybody is that I may not be able to think of an answer to your question so then I won't answer it, but I ask people not to be offended or think I'm ignoring them.
Well I also thought I'd mention that I had a really enjoyable religious experience last week :)

Do you enjoy watching movies/shows in foreign languages? If so, do you prefer to watch with subtitles or dubbed into your language? Can you recommend me some (preferably on Netflix) that you've enjoyed? If not, what about foreign entertainment turns you off?

AmericanLass’s Profile PhotoC.
Yes, I really like foreign films if I'm interested in the subject matter, a great way of seeing the world (Though they need to be subtitled so I can understand them, and I don't like films that are dubbed into English).
Some people don't like subtitled films because it's too much effort for them, though such people aren't going to get anything out of any film if they can't be bothered to pay attention.
To give a specific recommendation I'd need to know what your interests are and which language you want to learn, though I can recommend this to anyone :)

what do you consider your "miracle product", or the one product that really has made life better?

shehitsback’s Profile PhotoAllison
My levothyroxine tablet, it's miraculously restored my health and I would probably have died if I hadn't got onto the medication. I know I was ill long before I was diagnosed and I thus support charities that encourage awareness and treatment if the illness, more people should have regular blood tests for instance.
This is why, despite being a live and let live type generally, I fucking hate quacks, "natural", "alternative" and "faith" healers and "sceptics" of vaccinations. There are criticisms to be made of the medical system-they got my diagnosis wrong the first time so weeks were lost- but that shows it needs to be improved, not made worse.
https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/Hypothyroidism
I seriously support jailing all fuckers who lie along these lines, thus causing others to be ill & die.

What is the worst kind of suffering?

Syphira’s Profile PhotoSaphira
In my opinion, having someone you like/love be indifferent to you is the worst, apart from starvation or homelessness, as it's our basic need beyond animal survival.
And maybe a human hurts more than an animal?
"The worst sin toward our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them: that’s the essence of inhumanity" George Bernard Shaw

How are you doing today?

I'm good thanks, I'm heading to Nottingham to see Nick Cave tomorrow and hanging round with my friend I haven't seen for a year, then going on a solo tour around the area (my brother got married around there and when we dropped his friend off at the railway station in Newark, I vowed to go back there, and now I am!
I don't know if you've read this but it's out of this world, highly recommended and on my reading list because it takes place in the same city but in the 1950s (Which weren't as strait-laced as they pretended to be!)

What colours do you wear the most or enjoy wearing? What colours do you think suit you the most? ???

ronniebon’s Profile PhotoRonnie
Well I actually quite like wearing a suit and tie at work, and smart shoes, it makes me feel like I'm serious business :)
This is my Nottingham t shirt, I'm going to see Nick Cave and of course Nick Cave and the Cure are allies so hopefully people will like to see me "dressed up to the eyes" and be impressed ;)

What is/was your favourite subject at school? ?

ronniebon’s Profile PhotoRonnie
As you may be able to tell, history :)
Since my interest in creative work has taken off I'm angry at the way art was "taught" at my school. my teacher had some kind of personal grievance against me and made no secret of her hatred of me, while if I had another teacher they regarded me as unteachable in that subject the way other kids were regarded as incapable of doing maths and English.
Admittedly some subjects are done to death in firmal study and that kills interest but what if so eone had told me about, for instance, the joys of photographing my surroundings earlier?
http://dry-valleys.tumblr.com/tagged/photos
In criminally underrated TV series The Village (did you watch it?) Mr Eyre takes Bert Middleton under his wing in a similar way and Bert becomes one of thefirst photographers, his work must be extremely valuable now. So I'd have likedto have something like that, but no!
Unemployed men were trained by an art school to do this (see the link for the full story) because someone believed they could and they would be fulfiled by their work once it was done, why did that not happen to me at school?

You're on your way to work. There is a dog drowning in the canal. If you're late one more time you're fired, what do you do?

Syphira’s Profile PhotoSaphira
Well I'd save the dog for several reasons...
Not least of them, the fact that I've been fired from my job twice, but both times I was re-hired afterwards, so I'm still there and 3-2 ahead! Realistically it would be a terrible mistake if they fired me and they must know that. :)

If you were a volunteer, where would you like to work?

Well I already am a volunteer fam, I'd like to spend more time volunteering there.

I go there once a year and spend a week there and two days in Edinburgh, I'd like to expand that out so it takes up more like 5 or 10 weeks between the highlands and Edinburgh and spend the rest of my time going round doing wild things but I can't afford that sadly :(

Do you always have to be right or can you accept when you're in the wrong?

Syphira’s Profile PhotoSaphira
Well I do suffer from not being able to admit I've made a mistake because I'm too proud, and also because I'm not in a strong position, for example I'm near the bottom of the food chain at work, so I do try to avoid responsibility.
I just remembered a book I read, I haven't always followed the advice therein but I recommend it.

Favourite dessert? (Try to think specific things if you can) ?

ronniebon’s Profile PhotoRonnie
Well it varies but I like a sticky toffee pudding, what legends eat for desert.
My favourite is from Jo's Cheshire Kitchen (which don't have a website sadly) or direct from Cartmel. (preferably when the races aren't on as the village fills up with arseholes then).
There's a vanilla custard ice cream that I buy from a farm
http://www.buttertons.co.uk/
That is the best accompaniment.
