1. Your buying a car from someone who has lost his job and needs to sell. Do you offer much less than it's worth?

2. You feel your underpaid. Do you still give your job 100%?

1. You plan to auction granny's estate but are afraid valuable items will go for too little. Do you ask friends to bid up the prices?

2. In the middle of the night, the baby starts crying. Your mate asks if you're awake. Your exhausted and don't want to get up. Do you pretend to be asleep?

No to the first one, they may get stuck with the high bid.

Yes to the second one, I get really cranky with lack of sleep so for my mates sake I would pretend to be asleep.

No -- I'd probably keep the valuables out of the auction completely, and sell them privately for what they're worth. BUT, what are you doing auctioning the valuables in the first place? Shouldn't they be held onto? LOL.

I think that would depend on how much he balances the chores with me. If he never got up to feed/change/calm her, then yes, I would make him get up. But on the other hand, if I knew he had a big day the next day and all I had to do was stay home with baby, I might get up. What do I know, I'm not a Mum yet!

No, if they are something I would really want, I would see who else in the family would want some of these special items, have a family auction for the special items and then put the money with the other estate auction proceeds.

Yes. I am the one who usually goes and looks after the children during the night because I wake up first and easier than dh..so, when the rare occasion that he does wake up, he can deal with it :-)

1. I wouldn't be auctioning off Granny's estate.

2. Heck yes! But of course, it was usually the other way around since I was breast feeding and he couldn't do that.

1. Your former lover becomes famous. A tabloid offers you $50,000 for nude pictures and a "tell all." Do you sell?

2. As a famous athlete, you are offered $100,000 to endorse a product you wouldn't use. Do you endorse it?

Q. I am thinking of going to Curves, a workout place for women. The price is right and it doesn't take much time. However, I found out that all their profit is going to support lobbying to repeal Roe v. Wade. I support adamently a woman's right to choose, but Curves offers the best deal for a fitness place and the only other place in town is very posh and expensive. Should a person still use the facilities even though she opposes their use of the profits?

1. Probably.

2. Probably not.

Catfat... my answer would be no. I think it depends on how strongly you feel about your position... but, as a woman who, um... has benefitied from the decision in Roe vs. Wade, I would cringe at the thought that my work-out was helping to put another scared young girl in a position she wouldn't be able to get out of. Having the option saved my future, and sure opened my eyes. If I were in your shoes, I would go to the more expensive one, and justify the extra dollars I'm spending as money NOT for the pro-life side, AKA the pro-choice side.

just my two bits.

Well this question is all about economics.

1. Like Mamie said. Would depend where we left things. And I would want more than $50K.

2. Maybe. If I was a world famous athlete $100K would mean nothing to me. If I didnt use the product because I had no use for it then I would consider it. If I didnt use it because I didnt like it then no, I would not want my name associated with it.

Hi Karen, I am a strong pro-choice advocate and support it for reasons just as you have descrbed. I haven't signed up for either place yet, since money is a factor and a moral stance is a factor. Thanks for your input.

I canceled my Curves membership when I found this out a few months ago, and wrote and told them why. I joined the county recreation center instead.
