Question of the Week (8/4/08)

This week's question.

Most waking hours.

??

When I'm fearless.

??

When tired, drunk, or trying to protect the ego.

??

Whenever it comes to money. Foolish, foolish fool. Foolish, foolish, foolish, foolish fool.

??

when I have a crush

??

when I think I'm in love

??

When I'm awake.

??

I'm foolish in my sleep, foolish when I'm awake, foolish when I'm sober, DEFNITELY foolish when intoxicated, I'll probably die foolishly, and chances are my corpse will be doing foolish things until long after my decaying process has finished.

??

Likely to be foolish when I am enjoying myself and have had too much
rum in too short of a time.

??

When I overly defend my right to be right.
Oh......and.... within the first few days of receiving a financial windfall.

I try to remember the age old question: Would I rather be right or happy? It serves as a gentle attitude adjustment and, generally, keeps me safe from foolishness.

??

When I've got a golf shot that has to carry 170 yards over water ... and I try it. FOOLISH
When I think I've got my golf swing problems figured out. FOOLISH
When I meet a nice looking single lady and think I'm a hunk. FOOLISH
When I expect the government to make wise decisions. FOOLISH
When I expect to hear the "issues" from McCain or Obama. FOOLISH

??

When I am hungry, angry, lonely, or tired. Any one of these conditions individually is cause for a lapse in judgment, but in combination....hoooo laudy. Loneliness has led to my biggest lapses in judgment....lots of trying to make something out of nothing relationships and bending myself into a pretzel...which frequently led to lost sleep, hurt feelings, loss of appetite and cosmic foolishness.

??

foolish playful or foolish like a damn fool shortsighted selfish...?
think foolish playful, then the opposite of that

??

When I do not know all of the facts and then act upon on speculation.

??

Always when it comes to romantic love..........

??

Either in the presence of an attractive young woman or after two martinis. And you really don't want to be in the same room with me if there's a pretty woman and I've had two martinis.

??


When I'm with my husbear! He makes me feel whimsical.

??

When I have some extra money - it burns a hole in my pocket. I have to be especially careful right now because my mother's estate finally settled, and my portion is a nice "chunk of change". I have bills I want to pay-off, including a $2,000 loan from a sibling. I also want to "pay forward" $1,000 [a friend gave me that amount during a period of unemployment] and I have been waiting for this settlement in order to take that action - recipient already determined. The angel (on one shoulder) says to invest the rest; the devil (on the other shoulder) wants to SPEND, SPEND, SPEND!!!!

??


During those hours between waking and sleeping: I'm never a fool when I'm asleep.

??

When I'm hungry, angry, lonely, scared, or tired.

??

when I am angry or running late. And after I have got paid.

??

in conversation with someone I should be wary of but I've just had strong coffee and...oops, said too much

??

every day, especially if I have just had a latte

??

When I'm in the presence of certain men I find extremely attractive. I've gotten better over the years at controlling my behavior but every now and then I lose it and make a complete fool of myself.

??

When I lose control. I can control my mind and my actions, my schedule and even my bad habits... But there's one thing I can't control. And that is my heart.

So when am I most likely to be foolish?

When I'm in love.

??

When somebody has put you down in front of others.

??

when I'm in love

??

And mine...

My sister sent me a great birthday card once. On the front was a little girl covered in paint and beaming at the camera. The caption said: "You will do foolish things. But do them with enthusiasm."


This week's reminder.
