Hi everyone! Hope you're all having a good weekend so far! :)

Today's question is:

A friend has a severe case of bad breath. Do you mention it to him/her?

Yes. I wouldn't tell her in an offensive way, but I would tell her. Actually I have done this. I went on the net and researched it,then I went out and bought the products she could use to solve the problem. I got her a tongue scraper and these drops that have something called OraSan, which is actually sodium hydroxide. It disolves the sulfur compounds that are on the tongue and completely cures the bad breath. Scrape tongue, brush teeth, put two drops on the tongue and that's all it takes. The drops are called Breath Remedy Breath Drops with Clinically Proven OraSan. I got the same products for my son becaue he had a bad problem with his breath.

Why did I do that for my friend? If I'm going to bring up the subject, I think that I should at least find the solution for her. Not just say "your breath smells like crap, fix it."

Yes...in a nice caring concerned way as not to hurt his/her feelings.

No. My best friend frequently has bad breath and over 25 years I've still never brought myself to mention it. I would cut off my arm before hurting her. But dang, why did I never think of the breath mint trick??? I've always got some in my purse. sheesh!

BigD, there is a whole 'nother side to me. I was also young once.

Yes. Once I told me friend 'would you like some gum?' he said no, 'I said NO TAKE the gum!!' and he goes 'Ooohhh' LOL..from then on we called him Booty Breath!

Yes, very gently.

No-- to the watching-sex-on-the-beach question. Unless it was somebody I knew. Then I'd be too curious to leave. LOL

Yes-- to the friend with bad breath question. Could be a sign of a health problem, if it's always bad. Otherwise, I'd offer gum/mint :)

I would tell my friend

on the bad breath question, probably not... actually I guess no, since one of my friends often goes through phases where she has really bad breath and I've never told her. I figure if her boyfriend who lives with her and kisses her all the time can live with it, it's not up to me to say anything to her.

Ironically though, this same friend is very forward and direct and once didn't hesitate to tell me, "Did you know you have two little hairs sticking out of your nostril?".... She told me this as we were sitting next to each other on a plane, so everybody within hearing distance (in coach, so just about everybody, lol) probably heard.

k so I'm one of those who answers with more than a simple yes or no.

Hi everyone! Today's question is:

You make long distance calls as part of your work for a middle-sized company. Do you make private calls if you know they cannot be detected?

Karuuna

Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 10:36 am EditMoveDeleteIP
nah. Use a calling card, or the free long distance minutes on your cell phone. :)

Bigd

Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 11:27 am EditMoveDeleteIP
Unless I had an emergency, I generally didn't make any calls, and if I made a long distance call, I usually just informed my supervisor.

Nope--would use my calling card.

Yes. Before I had free cell long distance which I now use for business calls as well, I would frequently make long distance phone calls from my home for business, never reimburse myself for the gasoline used in my car, etc. So the one or two phone calls I may have made in the past were far less than what I spent.

Kady

Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 01:34 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
Nope...only in an emergency and then I would tell someone.

Eliz87

Sunday, September 14, 2003 - 02:04 pm EditMoveDeleteIP
yes

No.

I did have to make an emergency call once, and notified the accounting clerk who took care of the phone bills. I hounded him for three months, and when he still wouldn't tell me how much the bill was (so I could pay it), I finally let it drop.

Nah, I'd use my cell or wait til I got home. Don't call too many people LD anyway.
