10 can theoretically be a vitamin B deficiency.

41 was a bit of a revelation, actually. though I don't know what I'm going to do with it.

10 was probably just about my sore throat last night.

How was 41 a revelation?

[turbogrrl.livejournal.com]

The notion that I could just... choose to not associate with people who need forgiveness. It felt like I was standing on the edge of a cliff and lightheaded.

[keryx.livejournal.com]

You can even do it two ways: I've got people who do wrong things but don't care about being forgiven, then I have others who just don't do those things.

[turbogrrl.livejournal.com]

Part of the problem is that compassion tends to be one of my superpowers, but I've let it slide into forgiveness too often. On the plus side-- being made aware of this and my choices, when I got an apology last night I *didn't* stand there and say 'it's ok', when it wasn't. Actually, if memory serves, I just raised my eyebrows and hmmphed. (Nothing like a 50-year-old man doing an impression of a 5-year-old doing an impression of being actually contrite. Although he got increasingly genuinely contrite as the evening wore on and forgiveness was not forthcoming. Unfortunately, while it may be possible to pick and choose one's own relatives, it's much harder to do that to one's loved ones' relatives.)

I went through and answered the questions, but I don't have anywhere to post the answers. Plus, the answers to at least 4 were "huh???"

[keryx.livejournal.com]

This answer amuses me greatly. I was about half through the thing when I realized that the strangeness of it was likely it having been written by a kid.

[thebostonreader.livejournal.com]

Well, it was clear when it asked me if my parents are strict. I was like, "Well, my stepfather was; thank God he can't tell me what to do anymore!"

[keryx.livejournal.com]

I think I got it just a bit before that.

I do love the way you snark a poorly written listicle. :)
