Do you...

[GrumpyOldishMan]

Not all. I will do a bit of painting, but more complex things, like hanging paper, I'm pretty useless at - and lack the patience for.


Do you enjoy doing DIY type tasks?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

I've certainly never been described as effeminate (to my knowledge). Despite the slightly raised pinky on my pic.


What do you think makes a man 'manly'?

 

[Firefly]

6'4, 200~240lbs, lion mane-like hair and not afraid to wear a tutu

Do I ask for too much?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

Never


Do you believe we should ever compromise on our expectations?

Withdrawn - let's go with Yorkshire's response.

Damn.. I just deleted mine.. hmm ok I think I said.

No (see what I did there)

Do you see yourself as a walkover?

No (see what I did there)

Do you see yourself as a walkover?

Can't remember what I said either ... some bollocks about 'shades of grey'



Thread;

Apparently so (see above). Generally, no, on matters of importance, I stand my ground.



Do you value clarity over affirmation?

 

[Firefly]

OH....I should say clarity...right...
I'm not entirely sure by clarity and affirmation are either ors...can we not have both?

Do you sometimes glory words because you can't remember the real word that exists for that situation_?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

Just this morning in fact, to look up 'kakistocrasy'. It was well worth it.


Do you ever forget why you've just walked to the kitchen?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

No


Do you find you have a sudden urge to check outside and see if it's a full moon?

 

[Firefly]

I did that yesterday. Although I usually just check my calendar since it tells me moon phases and tides it's a clever calendar.

Do you get annoyed when people ask, " how do you think the weather will be?"

 

[Koala]

Nah - I do that constantly. I guess I'm a pain.

Do you think people around you know your period cycle?

 

[Firefly]

Only because I tell them. Just before telling them to fuck off.

Although, my sister and I had an interesting observation recently in one of our calls. We live 10,000 miles apart, haven't physically seen each other in 3 years, and only see each other during 4-10 weekly phone calls, but we both basically know within about 1 minute seeing each other on camera and listening to greetings where each is at on her cycle. I dunno if that's a sister thing or a "sister" thing...

Do you enjoy talking about bodily functions?

 

[Walks]

Wouldn't say enjoy but it's all natural and everybody has them so why not

Do you over share?

 

[Firefly]

Yes.


Do you feel comfortable around oversharers?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

Hell yes. The more a person shares, the more tangential conversational avenues become available.


Do you like to stick to the point?

 

[YorkshireGent]

Yes.

Do you interrupt people when they are taking too long to explain something?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

Oh I have an opinion on every single one of the malingering Bastards but I keep my own counsel.


Do you think you are a 'team player'?

 

[Firefly]

I am a team leader.


Do you like to make your boss look good?

 

[GrumpyOldishMan]

(Jesus - that was a bit harsh, even for a Tuesday morning!)

Edit;

Making my boss look good is beyond Grumpy's capabilities


Do you think Tuesday mornings are God's way of letting us know we're not here to enjoy ourselves?
