Wow lookie all the answers :) Very interesting.
I'm trying to pick questions where YES or NO won't be the only answer :)

Here's mine:

4) Yes, because I would enjoy the moment while it lasted.

5) Yes there actually are situation in which I would use this power.

6) An ability to draw illustrations the way I imagine them.

More questions to follow....

1. No, I have lived away from my family too much because of being in the AF for 20 years. I don't want to live overseas again. Besides, we have the best steaks.

2. Housekeeper. I love cooking and don't need the others unless the masseuse is really cute and can do deep hand massages.

3. No, nothing is worth not sleeping.

4. Sure, it would be nice to be really happy for a year.

5. Why bother? In the end, everything evens itself out somehow.

6. Ability? To maybe sing with a better voice range. Either that or be able to play the mandolin I got Sept 10th. :( At first, I didn't have the heart, now I'm waiting for my hand to heal.

These are a bit tougher to think about.

7.) If by sacrificing your life you could contribute so much ot the world that you would be honored in all nations, would you be willing to do so? If so, would you make the same sacrifice knowing that someone you throughly disliked would receive the honor while you went unrecognized?

8.) By controlling medical research funds, you are in the position to guarantee that a cure will be found in 15 years for any disease you choose. Unfortunately, no progress on any others would be made during that period. Would you target on disease? What would it be?

9.) You and a person you love deeply are placed in separate rooms with a button next to each of you. You know that you will both be killed unless one of you presses your button before 60 minutes pass; furthermore, the first to press the button will save the other person, but will immediately be killed. What do you think you would do?

7. I would sacrifice my life for the world but not because I would be honored by all nations, so the second part doesn't apply. (in my mind at least)

8. I would go for the cure.

9. Too James Bond of a scenario, sorry!

10.) Knowing you had a 50% chance of winning and would be paid 10 times the amount of your bet if you won, what fraction of what you now own would you be willing to wager?

11.) What do you most strive for in your life: accomplishment, security, love, power, excitement, knowledge, or something else?

12.)Would you like to have your rate of physical aging slowed by a factor of 30 so as to give you a life expectancy of about 2,000 years?

13.) Would you be willing to give up all television for the next five years if it would induce someone to provide for 1000 starving children in Indonesia?

14.)While arguing with a close friend on the phone, she gets angry and hangs up. Assuming that she is at fault and makes no attempt to contact you, how long would you wait to get in touch with her?

15.)What do you value most in a relationship?

Lobster...you take all the time you want. If you wanna make another thread just to discuss the questions, sounds good to me. They are supposed to make you think a bit and to be discussed...at least that's what it says in the book. :)

In the book, the questions are numbered but I'm picking out ones I want and jumping all over the place.

More to come...after Survivor (west coast)

16.)How would you react if you were to learn that your mate had had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other?

17.)Who is the most important person in your life? What could you do to improve the relationship? Will you ever do it?

18.)Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

19.)If you could increase your I.Q. by forty points by having an ugly scar stretching from your mouth to your eye, would you do it?

20.)Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire; after saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?

16.)How would you react if you were to learn that your mate had had a lover of the same sex before you knew each other?

I would be stunned that I wouldn't have figured it out prior to starting a relationship. I would probably have a problem with it.

17.)Who is the most important person in your life? What could you do to improve the relationship? Will you ever do it?

It's honestly a toss-up between my husband and kids but since my kids are young adults and pretty well free of the apron strings I'd say husband. To improve it I suppose I could try harder to laugh at jokes I have heard the previous 10 times he told them to some group. We'll celebrate our 30th anniversary this year so the likelihood of me doing that is nil. Why ruin a good thing?


18.)Would you like to know the precise date of your death?

Absolutely, positively NOT.

19.)If you could increase your I.Q. by forty points by having an ugly scar stretching from your mouth to your eye, would you do it?

Nope. Then I'd have too much of a good thing. I spend enuff on make-up as it is.

20.)Your house, containing everything you own, catches fire; after saving your loved ones and pets, you have time to safely make a final dash to save any one item. What would it be?

The journal I've kept for my kids.

16. This scenario is highly unlikely, but I would probably take it in stride.

17. Ahhh, I would say my husband, (sorry honey!) but my bonds with my only child go deep. We have always had a good relationship that I will never stop striving to improve till the day I die.

18. YES! I almost went suddenly and unexpectedly. That really sucks. Tell me the date and let me prepare.

19. Yes, there is always plastic surgery

20. There are so many things....both sentimental and material, I'm going with the silly answer and say my webtv! (knock on wood, I don't even like to think about this)
