Strange and Interesting Questions; A Jumping-Off For Discussions

New question:

Would you give up half of your possessions for a pill that would make it so you only needed an hour of sleep every night, with no ill effects, always feeling refreshed?

I would. As it is my illness curbs my sleep to a few hours at a time. And I am not refreshed

....nope...big fat bear here likes his hibernation....

I'd answer no. However, for anyone who suffers from insomnia or sleep issues, it must be frustrating to wake tired. ((Tery)))

Would you give up half of your possessions for a pill that would make it so you only needed an hour of sleep every night, with no ill effects, always feeling refreshed?

Yup. Two reasons.

1. Sometimes I feel I'd give up half my possessions just to get a refreshing sleep every night, period.

2. With all that extra productivity, I could get that stuff back in reasonable time. Playing the long game here.

Nooo. I've accumulated a lot of incredibly rare weapons, (mostly antique guns and blades), a lot of doodling supplies/gadgets, and two bookshelves worth of literature, some of them extremely hard to find. I even have most of it stored for quick removal in the case of fire.

Plus, I like sleep.

It sounds good, and I'm not overly attached to possessions (well, maybe books). I REALLY love sleeping, though. I love the sensation of getting into bed and feeling heaviness gradually take over my limbs. I love dreaming and thinking about the dreams when I wake up (though I often forget them within an hour). I love opening my eyes and thinking over the day, then stretching those heavy limbs and feeling them ever so slowly limber up. I don't know if I would get any of these things with an hour of sleep. I know I don't with naps. So (she said, having worked out the answer FINALLY), no, I would not give up those things, even if they are not guaranteed with every sleep. Having them as delicious possibilities every time is enough

Maybe......If I could choose which half of my possessions I give up.

Finally putting an honest photo of yourself up. Very brave. Cheto'bolic is a good name for you.

No problem. You can always get more stuff.

I only sleep 4 or 5 hours a night anyway and always have. So it wouldn't be as much of a "boon" for me.

1. If you could wake up tomorrow with a new talent or ability, what would it be?

To sap the youthful vitality from those around me, draining them to lifeless husks while prolonging my own existence. I could just wish for immortality, but that's no fun. Others must suffer so that I might live.

2. Is there anyone you envy enough to trade lives with?

My, but that is an odd question. I'm not sure I appreciate your line of questioning.

3. Would you be willing to murder an innocent person if it would bring peace to the world? How about a not-so-innocent person? If the latter, explain why the one and not the other.

Enough. This interview is over--

How about a couple more questions?

1. If you could have the free, unlimited services for a 5 years of either a chef, a maid, a masseuse, a chauffeur or a personal assistant, which would you choose? All are very good at what they do.

2. You are raising funds for your favorite cause when a rich donor says that s/he will make a $10,000 contribution of you will perform at the upcoming fund-raiser (audience of about 1,000). Would you do it? What would you perform?

3. You are a government official and you have proof that the President is up to his/her neck in illegal activities. If you exposed this, your career would be destroyed and you'd be fired and humiliated. Knowing that you will be vindicated 5 years later, would you do it? What if you were never vindicated?
--------------------------------------------
My answers:
1. A Masseuse
2. Yes. I'd perform "Resist" on the guitar
3. It would be a difficult decision but I would blow the whistle. Whether I was vindicated or not. I would put country over party or even myself. Because it's a dream that shouldn't die and I'm not more important than that.

Maid. Definitely.

2. You are raising funds for your favorite cause when a rich donor says that s/he will make a $10,000 contribution of you will perform at the upcoming fund-raiser (audience of about 1,000). Would you do it? What would you perform?
Why not? I'd have to do a reading, because I have no other 'performable' skills.

3. You are a government official and you have proof that the President is up to his/her neck in illegal activities. If you exposed this, your career would be destroyed and you'd be fired and humiliated. Knowing that you will be vindicated 5 years later, would you do it? What if you were never vindicated?
I would, in both cases. I couldn't live with myself if I didn't. The proof would have to be irrefutable, though. Gossip or 'personal belief' isn't enough to ruin lives over.

1. Chef-my gut hath spoken

2. I would proudly showcase my cookie chomping skills

3. Hell yeah! I was looking for a job when that came along, and I'm used to having it broke off in my derriere.....

1. If you could have the free, unlimited services for a 5 years of either a chef, a maid, a masseuse, a chauffeur or a personal assistant, which would you choose? All are very good at what they do.

Masseuse. I like to cook. I don't mind cleaning (although Grandma does the majority). I like to drive. My life's not complicated enough for an assistant, although it sounds nice. But I can't massage myself, and it sounds kinda dirty just saying that.

2. You are raising funds for your favorite cause when a rich donor says that s/he will make a $10,000 contribution of you will perform at the upcoming fund-raiser (audience of about 1,000). Would you do it? What would you perform?

Sure. My musical talents are limited to third-rate karaoke. $10,000 is worth a few tomatoes.

3. You are a government official and you have proof that the President is up to his/her neck in illegal activities. If you exposed this, your career would be destroyed and you'd be fired and humiliated. Knowing that you will be vindicated 5 years later, would you do it? What if you were never vindicated?

Ah, back to "The Dead Zone." Yeah, I'd have to. There's just too much damage that an out-of-control President can do, and if people were harmed due to my inaction, it would be tough to live with.

1. If you could have the free, unlimited services for a 5 years of either a chef, a maid, a masseuse, a chauffeur or a personal assistant, which would you choose? All are very good at what they do. No maid would do the chores required here/ I love to cook, but would really enjoy a chef- balanced meals!

2. You are raising funds for your favorite cause when a rich donor says that s/he will make a $10,000 contribution of you will perform at the upcoming fund-raiser (audience of about 1,000). Would you do it? What would you perform? Yep. Could do a little piano number.

3. You are a government official and you have proof that the President is up to his/her neck in illegal activities. If you exposed this, your career would be destroyed and you'd be fired and humiliated. Knowing that you will be vindicated 5 years later, would you do it? What if you were never vindicated? Yes. Vindication would be in the form of taking down him down.

I'd prefer a combination of all the above, plus skills in combat medicine. A knowledge of firearms. Like Alfred, but female. And what the heck, lets make her Asian--why not? It's my daydream.

2. You are raising funds for your favorite cause when a rich donor says that s/he will make a $10,000 contribution of you will perform at the upcoming fund-raiser (audience of about 1,000). Would you do it? What would you perform?

Provided the cause be my own financial welfare, I guess I could sing a bit of Lydia, the Tatooed Lady. Folks seem to dig that one.

3. You are a government official and you have proof that the President is up to his/her neck in illegal activities. If you exposed this, your career would be destroyed and you'd be fired and humiliated. Knowing that you will be vindicated 5 years later, would you do it? What if you were never vindicated?

Ye gods, who wrote this question? John Dean? I suppose I would expose the Secret Empire, become disenchanted with society, change my alternate identity to Nomad, and just walk the earth...like Cain in Kung Fu.

1. If you could have the free, unlimited services for a 5 years of either a chef, a maid, a masseuse, a chauffeur or a personal assistant, which would you choose? All are very good at what they do. Definitely maid. I have periods when i turn rather sloppy which would be nice not to have to clean up after.

2. You are raising funds for your favorite cause when a rich donor says that s/he will make a $10,000 contribution of you will perform at the upcoming fund-raiser (audience of about 1,000). Would you do it? What would you perform? Of, course. I mean why not? But the only thing i could do would be to read something or hold a lecture over some subject i know.

3. You are a government official and you have proof that the President is up to his/her neck in illegal activities. If you exposed this, your career would be destroyed and you'd be fired and humiliated. Knowing that you will be vindicated 5 years later, would you do it? What if you were never vindicated? Again of course. If i had proof, real watertight proof, i would feel morally obligated to. Not to do it would almost make me an accomplice in his crimes.

1. A chef.....I already trade work for work with the massage therapist at the salon.
2. Sure. I'd get my friend Laura to help out, and we'd do our comedy of life act.
3. I'd have to expose the wrongdoing. I wasn't cut out for government work, anyway.

 

[Tery]

Here's a tough one...

If you had to choose between being blind or being deaf, which would you choose and why?

I'd choose blindness. I just don't think I could exist without music. Music touches my heart, mind and soul and life would be wrong without it for me.

Deaf.....I can live with consistently being off beat...but I LOVE to read!
