You want to sell me a sledge hammer?

*MMXII is too tired to finish tonight.

Then I'll refrain from adding more questions for a bit.

 

[biblebeliever]

Will you be watching the Super Bowl? If so, are you watching for the game or the commercials?

 

[MMXII]

I'm sure the Super Bowl will be on the tv here today but not by my choice. I do enjoy the commercials that stem from it though.

Will you be watching?

Btw.... :birthday:

 

[MN John]

Do you like Taco Bell?

 

[MMXII]

Do you like Taco Bell?

Well....ok, now I know you'll think I'm weird with this. I won't eat anything that I have to contort my head to eat. If it's anything but taco's sure...Taco Bell is ok. I'll have to take you to Tia's for some Tex-Mex.

What are the experiences in life that you would want the person you marry to have had?

What are the experiences in life that you would not want the person you marry to have had?

You know, the more and more I've been thinking about this question and the next one you asked, I can't for the life of me think of anything that I would "want" them or "not want" them to have experienced.

We can't have that many similar experiences as we are opposite sex. I could list stuff but I can't really say that...to marry me you must have experienced a..b or c.

I'm sorry hon, these two really stumped me. If they are important to you (which I assume they are) then I'll work on it. It may be a while as I'd have to get some interest in them to even think about them.

I guess all of your experiences have made you who you are and I wouldn't change them if I could.

 

[MMXII]

What are all the jobs you've held and for how long did you hold each of them? What did you like and dislike most about each one?

Want a copy of my resume?

Ok, in a nutshell...babysitter, store clerk, insurance agent secretary, carpet salesperson, children's clothing clerk, security guard, waitress, donut maker, Telecommunications Specialist and Supervisor, NCIC auditor, NCIC trainer, vegetable vendor, hardware store associate, daughter, sister, wife and Mommy.

I dislike working I wished I had been born to rich oil barrons or something like that. But since I had to work, the thing I liked about most of them is who I could interract with. The stinkiest job of them all...the Mommy one... P U diapers are horrible. The job I've held the longest are daughter and sister and I'm pretty sure that I haven't done that very good.

To clarify the intent of this strange-seeming question ...This question is getting at where do you draw the line between enough life experience and too sheltered and the line between a good amount of life experience and been around too much.

Whew...after much debate, I think John has kinda gotten my answer.

Btw.... :birthday:

Thank you for the birthday wishes. We went over to some friends house for a Super Bowl party and watched the game in between snacking and visiting. It was fun.

 

[MN John]

I am theologically conservative. But I also personally believe that God does call women and men to all varieties of ministries and that He gives both women and men all varieties of gifts. Evangelical churches are the ones that I seek out as a mtch for most of my theological beliefs. However, they are often ones that exclude women from certain offices and ministries. Would you be able to be comfortable in such a church?

 

[MMXII]

I've held many offices in my church that a respite might be welcome.

 

[MN John]

So it wouldn't be a problem if they didn't allow female pastors?

 

[MMXII]

Nope, not a problem for me.

 

[MN John]

Regarding hobies and interests aside from work and how much time and energy we each curently put into these... what adjustments will we make when we are married? If you or I currently spend a lot of time online or on the phone, how wil that change? I am very involved in some activities such as shape-note singing, homless ministry, and square dancing, at what level do you think I should expect to continue these involvements? I know that I can't bring a single lifestyle into a marriage relationship, what interests are you open to exploring together?

 

[MMXII]

I think the hobbies that you have sound interesting to me, ones I'd like to explore. My biggest hobby is reading, which I think to some extent you are interested in as well. I also paint, do some needlework and love photography. I don't expect you to do needlework but I think while you are doing something else, it will be something I can still pursue. I think the adjustments will be minimal. My fear is that you coming from a city where all the things you enjoy are readily available, to small-town DE, you will be bored.

Online time and phone time...I guess I don't know how much you do of either. We seem to spend a lot of time on the phone and that won't be necessary when we are together. The same goes for online time. I don't think that while you are home, I'll be online much if any.

Sometimes people say things and they are half kidding. Sometimes they might be 90% serious and 10% kidding. Sometimes 90% kidding and 10% serious.

What % are you kidding about my being PC and your feelings about that?

 

[MMXII]

Actually, I believe you were the first to mention that you were PC so I've just taken the ball from there. Let me tell you...whether kidding or serious about you being PC, I care about 0% if you are. I was kidding 100% because it doesn't matter to me if you are PC or not. I won't give you a hard time about it again. It just shows you are a tad more liberal than I am, which is still fine.

ETA: This is NOT a deal breaker.

 

[MN John]

Thanks, honey. It's weird to be called liberal. That hardly ever happens. It's usually the opposite.
