Monday Mission

1. Are there any confrontations you have been avoiding that you know you will eventually have to deal with? What's that all about? no

2. When was the last time you surprised yourself by being more brave than you ever thought you could be? Calling someone to ask them not to come in to work.

3. You know that sickly feeling you get when are speeding and out of the corner of your eye you realize you just passed a hidden police car? It is that "deer-caught-in-the-headlights" feeling, where you are so busted there is no way out. When was the last time you were in a situation like that? 5 days ago. Fortunately he didn't have a radar gun so I was ok

4. One of the things I've had to do recently, is clean out my attic. I have an amazing amount of things I've collected over the years, and I am almost embarrassed that I still have so much of it. I realized that I may as well sell
it, since it does me no good in the attic, and when I die, my family will probably sell it for a dollar a pound at a garage sale anyway. May as well enjoy the money now. Do you have any things stored away that you just can't get rid
of but will probably of no sentimental value to anyone once you are gone? Why do we hang on to that stuff? Do you think you could sell or auction it off? things that I have that were in my family for generations. Sentimental reasons. Never!

5. I've become the resident Handler at the house. Got bugs? Call me! Flies, ants, spiders, I'm your man. Vomit? Dog Poo? Toilet overflow? Yep, I get it all clean. Not much bothers me in that area, and I am glad really to be
someone you can rely on. But the one thing that does make me squirm are injuries. Stitches, incisions, bloody puss-laden bandages, heavily scabbed areas, all that just about does me in. What are some of the things you have a
strong stomach for, and what are some of the things that can turn your stomach? blood.

6. I am at the point where I am going to have to make some tough decisions about the future of this blog. I think this sort of moment comes to all bloggers at some point. For me, I am not very good at managing my obsessions
(read as: things I enjoy passionately). Eventually they get too much focus and something that once was good begins to impact my life in negative ways. Something's got to give. Have you ever been involved in an experience that
started out as something good and enjoyable but eventually became destructive and bad for your health (mentally or physically)? not really

7. Do you believe in evolution or creationism or something else? combination of both

Bonus: Are you trying to tempt me? Hell yeah

3. Do you own a cell phone? If not; why? If so, what was your reason for buying a cell phone; and would you ever consider canceling your 'landline' service?  Explain...... yes for emergencies. I like the landline better.
it's clearer so I would never conceder canceling it
