Diversionary tactic alert! LOL

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.46

1. I read an article that said the reason many people like hot and spicy food is because that pain actually causes them pleasure. Do personally find a connection between pleasure and pain? Could be. John Mellencamp sang "Hurts So Good."

2. On the local NPR station their was a news item that about a recent study which said men who do housework get more sex. What do you think about that? Why would that be the case? It has nothing to do with housework! How much of my taxpayer dollars were wasted on that study? And why are you listening to NPR?

3. A friend and I were talking about the stigma attatched to divorce. He said that men can usually be divorced and not have much social backlash, but that women are often looked at as having failed in some way. The church especially, he said, tended to look down upon divorced women as if it were totally their fault and not the man's. Do you think there is a double-standard when it comes to men and women and the stigma of divorce? Hell, yeah. As a divorcee, I think that if people think I am the cause of the divorce, then they should really get to know me better. My ex was not blameless. My ex is a lazy SOB, and doesn't even try to support his kids.

4. On that same topic, I just read an article (look on Google News) that said parents with daughters are more likely to divorce than parents with sons. Do you think there is any validity to this? No. My parents were married for 37 years (until my father died). If the union is strong, then it will survive. If not, then it is doomed, regardless of the gender of any offspring.
5. Do you think the way a Father raises his daughter has an impact on the type of men she will eventually have relationships with? No. If that were true I'd have married a boring man with a dull job. My father wasn't boring, but a lot of men who work in the same field as my father did tend to be kinda boring. I need (and crave!) excitement.

6. Have you ever found your body craving some sort of food? Meat, chocolate, fruit and even water, the body tends to know what it needs. Do you get food cravings? Which are the most powerful? Sometimes, I'll get a craving for a certain kind of food, like Chinese. Yesterday, I just had to have a salami sandwich!

7. Do you have any type of skills you can "fall back on" if you needed to change careers suddenly? I do, and I have.

BONUS: Ain't that a shame? Yes, isn't it?
