Pedro-Number 5 I relate to COMPLETELY.

Jo-I think you're spot on there. Historically men have looked ridiculous. Wigs. High pants. But these days the pendulum has swung..

Cjed-People say orange and purple are supposed to compliment each other. I've only ever seen them offend each other.

Al-I don't know what a whale tail is, but I'm intrigued..

Ruth- Yeah.. when you never quite get enough sleep it's hard not to just want it above anything else on those tired, hard mornings.

Kim- I'm amazed that the old ratty is getting a show again with todays youth. Who thought that was a good idea?

Matt- Welcome to the quiz! I hear you with Number 5. That is one of the biggest causes of stress and anxiety in my life. And it's not even neccessary.

Simone- Yeah, number 4. Get a hobby already!

Dawn-Yuck, guilt induced avoidance.. I'm so good at that too.

George-Glad the meeting went well, good on you.

2. Low slung jeans look great, until the wearer sits, squats, or bends over.

4. I can't relate to people who...
Consider themselves exceptionally open minded but anything biblical is automatically disregarded.

5. I have so much to do today, I don't know where to start.

Laetitia :-) said...

1. Who commits the bigger fashion crimes- males or females? Both
2. One example, please. Females - balloon skirts; Males - pants around the groin showing everyone their underwear if lucky, bum cracks if not.
3. One thing to be thankful for today - that my mitral valve still mostly closes and I have the funds for an operation to repair it.
4. I find it hard to relate to people who...won't accept personal responsibility.
5. An unhelpful thought pattern you'd like to be done with - thinking that the good opinion of people who mock Christian beliefs is important just because they are my friends / workmates / neighbours.
