1. Yes, Relto, the island you get in Myst Online

2. It's the place you sleep the most often I guess.

3. That depends on my mood, but on average I like my entertainment to be more active. Mind you, I don't means something as outrageous as sports! I usually entertain myself by writing stuff, playing adventures, reading the paper or a magazine, or, when I'm really tired or depressed, watching TV.

1. Do you have an electric appliance that is older than twenty years and still working?

2. How often do you brush your teeth?

3. Do you think making up questions for this thread is hard?

[Hammerite]

1. Dont think so.
2. Every day usually.
3. Yes!

1. That's because you don't know yourself very well at that age and you are finding out what you're good at and what people you like and don't like. This comes with a lot of disappointments and feeling insecure.

2. Because every question you can think of has already been asked in this thread.

3. Fluff.

+=======+========+=======+


1. What is it with being 38 and feeling sad a lot?

2. What is the purpose of life?

3. Why do clouds stay up in the sky, although they're denser than the air around them?

[Squinky]

1. Maybe it's because you're expected by society to know yourself and what you're good at and what people you like/don't like, but sometimes, you're unsure about whether the choices you made were the right ones, hence resulting in disappointments and feeling insecure. But hey, I've never been 38; I'm just throwing out observations I've garnered from people around that age.
2. The purpose of my life is to do my part in making a positive difference in the world. The purpose of your life is whatever the hell you want it to be.
3. The clouds may seem dense, but they're actually quite clever and very much able to carry a good conversation.

1. Don't you wish you were 21, just like me?
2. Why does my fan club keep raking in the over-30 crowd?
3. Have you ever had a period in life where the very thought of having to live with another person repulsed you? Is this normal?

[jacog]

1. Nope. Twenties sucked almost as much as teens. Knock yourself out.

2. Get those freaks under control.

3. All the time. Just one person does not have that effect on me. It's normal for lots of people.

[jacog]

1. Are you afraid of growing old and realising you are a failure?

2. Ever get a really awful PM on this site?

3. Why does a stray cat we adopted love our dog more than anything in the world?

1. No. When I was that age I was too idealistic for my own good and not experienced enough to be consummately pragmatic. I'm over that, I love being my age.

2. I don't know, honestly. I'm not in your fan club.

3. I had roommates before. Both of them were former boyfriends. It's not different from living with a spouse, really. It only repulsed me to live with them after the breakup. It's very normal but you need to question your reaction to it, it may be you or it may be something else and your feeling is justified.

_______________

1. When dining out at the same restaurant for the second time, do you order the same dish or do you like to try new dishes?

2. When you come down with a headache, cold, or flu do you immediately grab the medicine or do you just take it easy and trust your bodily cravings for the foods naturally helpful to easing the sickness?

3. If you lived in a pleasant neighbourhood where, within walking distance, there were various shops that specialized in certain foods (butcher, bakery, farmer's market, wine shop) as well as a supermarket where everything is available at one stop, where would you go shopping?

1. I'm rather particular about what I eat, so provided there was more than one thing on the menu that appealed to me, I'd go for whichever piqued my fancy at that moment, regardless of whether I'd had it before or not.

2. Pills, every time. I always jump for the pills, if I even suspect an on coming illness I reach for the pills.

3. I'd test the produce in each location, and buy certain goods wherever the best quality lay.

I guess it's those questions that comes up: Hey I've lived half my life. Is this all there is to it? Is it downhill from now? I'm aging, will I be able to do all those things I wanted to do?

1. Cosy night with a DVD. I think I go to a movie theater about once a year.
2. Winter sports! I love skiing. Both downhill and crosscountry.
3. Precious metals. Goooold, I love gooooold.

-------

1. Pasta or pizza?
2. Red wine or white wine?
3. Cheese and crackers or a dessert?

[Trumgottist]

1. Pasta, but I have nothing against pizza either.
2. I don't drink, so red, for its other use.
3. Dessert. Warm tjinuski on frozen redcurrants and vanilla ice cream, Mmmm.

---

1. On the cosy night with a DVD, do you want a snack?
2. Do you feel old?
3. How do you think The Thread™ will die?

[lumi]

1. It depends on how serious the movie. I may go for popcorn or ice cream if it's not serious.
2. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
3. After it breaks the forums.

________

1. Is there something about your job you look forward to?
2. When you listen to music, do you pick each song or do you let a playlist randomly (or in sequence) choose for you?
3. Do you still find some juvenile humor funny?

[SoccerDude28]

1- Yeah I definitely look forward to the moment I leave it home.
2- I usually listen to 1 or 2 songs till I ruin them for myself.
3- Not really, the older I'm getting, the more cynic I am. Guess work and stress is sucking all the juvenile humor out of me.

------------------------------
1- If you get a chance to meet one person that you always wished you could meet. Who would it be and why?
2- If you got a device to wipe out one memory you have, What part of your past would you like to totally forget?
3- Any 80's TV show you'd wish they would bring back?

1. Nah. Whatever growing old entails, I'm sure it can't be much worse than being a kid or a teenager. (Well, for me, anyway.)
2. Nope, can't say I have. A lot of the PMs I've gotten in the past while have made me feel quite warm and fuzzy inside, actually.
3. That depends. Is your dog cute?

1. Well, gawrsh, if you haven't figured out the answer to this question by now, I suggest reading this thread from start to finish. *waves at Mr. Limbo, just in case he happens to stop by*
2. Nothing. Bad memories are necessary to keep me from screwing up over and over again.
3. Small Wonder!

***

1. Pretend you're a woman, if you aren't one already. Would you (or did you) keep your own last name after getting married?
2. When you're part of a couple, does it annoy you when people refer to the two of you as a single unit? (If you've never been in a relationship before, answer hypothetically.)
3. Doesn't the overuse of Comic Sans piss you off or what?

3. Doesn't the overuse of Comic Sans piss you off or what?

1. My name is officially the same as it was when I wasn't married, but for daily use I usually use mine and his together, double barrel style.

2. Not really...what irritates me most is becoming invisible to store clerks, service people etc who think that he's the only half they should speak to.

3. Sure, as does any other intemperant use of certain fonts. Overuse of smilies, bold face etc are also irritating. Personally, I like seeing good old fashioned text.

1. Did Jello salad play a significant role in your upbringing?
2. How about ham with pineapple slices and garishly colored cherries?
3. Describe a typical family dinner of your childhood.

[lumi]

1. I never liked Jello.
2. Ham and pineapple on pizza, but never cherries. I don't like cherries.
3. My mom or dad makes something and we all eat together.

1. Aqualung, Strange and Beautiful (though it's 2 years old, I only recently discovered it).
2. Yes, yes I do.
3. It is somewhat gratifying, isn't it? Well, except from the sore back from a long bike-ride.

1. Are you at all tired of hearing about troubled Britney?
2. Can there be a food more decadent than foie gras pizza?
3. If you could choose the creature you came back as in the next life, what would it be (human inclusive)?

[Trumgottist]

1. I haven't heard about troubled Brintey, but if I had, I probably would be, I guess.
2. Your link didn't say what foie gras is, but after googling all I have to say is "cruelty to animals". (Treating animals like that is against the law in Sweden.)
3. Myself. Anything else wouldn't be me. (I wouldn't want to come back either, I'd rather move on once I'm done here.)

1. What are you disappointed about right now?

For the love of crap, please tell me the question was hypothetical and that you don't actually eat foie gras.
