Three more 2go

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.50

1. What in your life used to be fun, but eventually just became a chore that you didn't enjoy? The last full-time job I had, then they fired me!

2. This weekend, US Troops captured Saddam Hussein and now have him in custody. How did you feel when you heard the news? Did it change your mind about the War in Iraq? Did it change your opinion of President Bush? I thought it was great that they caught the slimy bastard in a hole! This doesn't change my opinion of either the war or of Mr. Bush, because I had no opinion to begin with.


3. Regarding the capture of Saddam, I saw one "man on the street" interview where a man grumbled that "they should have just killed Saddam. I don't know why they bothered taking him alive." What do you think, should US Troops have taken Saddam alive or just killed him when they found him? What would be the pros and cons of either? They found him alive which was good, maybe they can get something out of him, though they haven't been able to so far (yeah, Saddam ole buddy...where the hell is Scott Speicher? And don't tell us you never captured anyone. You killed hundreds of thousands of your own countrymen, why not an American pilot?).

4. What kind of things at Christmas time just scream "tacky" and "White Trash" when you seem them? Decorating for the holiday right after Halloween! I'm not even thinking about Christmas at that point!

5. Suppose you had a dear friend who calls you in tears because her boyfriend had just left her. They'd been together for nearly 5 years, and one day he announces to her that he is leaving because she had gained too much weight. They were in love, or so she thought, and then out of the blue, he bails and blames it on her weight. What would you say to her about this man? That he is superficial and only cares about what his buddies think, and if they think she's too fat, then he'll bail on her. Showing his true colors...he was "in love" with an image, not a person. Being a heavy person, I tell men "what you sees is what you gets", and if they don't like it, don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya on the way out!

6. Suppose this same friend of yours still thinks she and her ex have a future. She says that she wants another chance, that if he will make some changes, she will to. She really does love him, and assures you that he loves her, even though he wants to "take a break and see other people, but if we were meant to be together we will be." There is even a hint of marriage in their future if they get back together. What advice would you give her? Oh, Lord, I've heard that one too...If he treats you like this now, what makes you think he won't do it again? Do you really want to marry this guy?

7. Have you ever had to tell a lie to get out of a date or when you were breaking up with someone? What did you tell them and how did they take it? Did they ever find out the truth? I try to be honest with everyone, and sometimes that gets me in trouble. I think that people would rather you lie to them than tell them the truth.

BONUS: Where are you Christmas?
Why haven't you come and gone already?!
