Nosy Questions Game (8)

[Valentine]

Hmmmm -- greater?? No, but better, always. Better Christian, better wife, better mother, and BETTER COOK!!!

Do you enjoy traveling?

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

Yes.

What's the most exotic place you've ever been?

 

[Valentine]

Hmmm -- I love New Orleans' french quarter and I love St. Augustine, Fl, but do not enjoy island travel or cruise-type things. I enjoyed spending several months on an Indian Reservation in NM and Santa Fe is probably my favorite place besides Pawley's Island, SC.

Do you have a favorite place to travel?

 

[BarbBlessed]

Eastern Canada. I love PEI, New Brunswick and Newfoundland.


Do you travel often?

 

[Valentine]

We travel often (6 or 7 times a year) to a little cottage we own near Pawley's Island, SC. and occasionally throughout the east coast (north and south).

Do you like sports cars?

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I do.

How tall is your spouse?

My spouse is 6 ft. tall.

Have you ever been to a sports car rally?

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I have.

Do you wear earplugs to protect your hearing at loud events?

What do you say to people at funerals and memorial services?
Or do you try not to talk to anyone?

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

I usually say what's in my heart at the time. At my grandmothers funeral, I hugged her sister, my great aunt and said "I miss her so much, she was everything to me." To the husband of one of my best church friends, I said, " I'm praying for you" . I never say "I'm sorry" or any of the other trite common phrases. Because when my Step-Dad (I was very close to him) died and people said that to me, it really felt like just something that they felt they had to say. It meant more when they said something about how they really felt about the person. I didn't make me feel better. Worse is "he's in a better place" or "it's for the best". I don't know why people say things like that to the grieving. It just comes off as so callous and unfeeling. I say, if you can't say something from your heart, just hug the person and say nothing. But, realize, as I do, that people don't know what to say. It's an uncomfortable situation and all anyone really wants to do, even if they're not especially good at is, is let each other know that they share your feelings and understand. So, that's what you should say. IMO anyway. Whatever's in your heart, or nothing. Just be sincere. And don't feel pressured to talk if you don't feel like talking. All the rules of society kind of go out the window at times like these.

Have you grieved for someone in the last year? (and yes, includes pets)

 

[Daffodilly]

Yes, not a family member, but I'm having a really hard time right now. I went to a memorial service for 3 friends/acquaintances this afternoon. They were killed in a car accident earlier this week and the memorial service was so hard.

This is the first time I've had to really face this sort of thing with people who aren't believers. My grandfather's passing was hard, but I have the hope that I'll see Him again and the comfort of knowing that He's with the Lord now.


How often do you try to share the Gospel with friends/acquaintances?

 

[Xipilgrim]

Not in the last year, but I still miss *pudding* my Cat, who died more than 10 years ago now, but sometimes still feels like only yesterday. (he had a very distinctive meow, and sometmes I still wake up at night thinking I can hear him).

Do you think we get to reunite with our pets in heaven?

 

[Xipilgrim]

That sounds like tough going Daff, If I can do anything to help I will, so feel free to PM me anytime.

My Baptist Church is doing *Cover-to-cover* this year, and we meet once a week. Its a bit of a crash course but its great. Sharing it in this way, really helps to see its many levels, because different people pick up on different aspects. (sorry, not sure if that's really an answer)

 

[Daffodilly]

Thanks, Xipilgrim.


No question to answer, so here's my question.

Do you ever forget to post a question for the next person?
(I forget pretty often, myself. )

 

[Xipilgrim]

Thanks, Xipilgrim.

>>ahem<< I think youll find my question was in my post above that one

(but yes, you know I do, cause I'm air-headed like that)

 

[Daffodilly]

Oh dear. I missed your question. Sorry about that.
Um where's the question in post 215?


JK. I'm not convinced that animals have souls, so I really don't know if they'll be in Heaven or not. I like to think that I'll see my pets again, though.

Do you eat while you're at your computer?

 

[Amhacajo]

uummmm yes.


Do you enjoy your job?

 

[TexasBluebonnet]

Sure. Sometimes not though. But that's life I guess.

Do you always answer the phone when it rings?

 

[Xipilgrim]

Not always. I get a lot of people trying to sell me stuff down the phone...now THAT is ANNOYING

Have you ever worked in a call center?

 

[Daffodilly]

No, and I hope the Lord never provides that type of work for me.
I don't really enjoy talking on the phone and the thought of having to speak to disgruntled people on the telephone 8 hours a day....


What is your dream job?
