I usually revise it once. Sometimes I miss the errs. But I hope everyone forgives me.
Same?

Henry P
21-03-2010, 01:31 PM
I revise mine many times, then still find things to improve when they're posted,
Poetry with rhyme or without?

Maryd.
21-03-2010, 01:33 PM
When I was younger everything rhymed. I was always scared to attempt poetry without rhyme, but I am actually better at it. My rhythm always goes astray when I rhyme

Same?

Henry P
21-03-2010, 01:46 PM
yes. It's not easy. I've managed a few with rhyme, like First Sonnet and Fond Old Fool, but I liketo put a rhyme in at the end of non-rhyming poems too
Punctuation in poems or none?

Maryd.
21-03-2010, 01:51 PM
I've been told not to put them in, by many people, but I can't help it... I find myself doing it.

Capital letters at the begining of each line even if it is not the start of a new sentence.

Henry P
21-03-2010, 01:57 PM
I always put it in for clarity.
Poems about yourself or others?

Maryd.
21-03-2010, 02:01 PM

Henry P
21-03-2010, 02:49 PM
I've more dark ones than soft ones, but my mood has been dark in the last three years

Maryd.
21-03-2010, 02:55 PM
Yours and mine both... We need some lightening up... Any suggestions?

Henry P
21-03-2010, 03:06 PM
Not at the moment. I have this fear that if I'm funny, I can't be serious as well

Maryd.
21-03-2010, 03:11 PM
Fear enough.

Afternoon relax: Sleep or just rest?

Henry P
21-03-2010, 03:16 PM
I like a nap sometimes. Don't you need your beauty sleep yet, my dear?

Maryd.
21-03-2010, 03:26 PM
Gosh you're right...

Henry P
22-03-2010, 08:49 AM
Do you really need an alarm in the mornings or not?

Maryd.
22-03-2010, 09:40 AM
Most of the times I wake up at 5.30 or 6.00 am. Every morning. But I do set the alarm for 6.15 am just in case.

Do you?

Henry P
22-03-2010, 09:42 AM
I rarely need an alarm, and wake early anyway

Maryd.
22-03-2010, 09:54 AM
At the pub: do you prefer a beer or a hard drink?

Henry P
22-03-2010, 01:27 PM
A beer. I once bought a posh whisky to show off, though, in a teacher training centre

Maryd.
22-03-2010, 01:46 PM

Maryd.
23-03-2010, 01:26 AM
For instant coffee, I like it white with quarter of cup with milk Later I add the sugar and coffee stir it up then add the hot water and stir... For expresso it has to be black and strong. I'm very fussy.

Tea: Strong or weak?

Henry P
23-03-2010, 01:41 AM
medium
Hot chocolate with milk or water?

Maryd.
23-03-2010, 02:04 AM

Hot chocolate or tea?

Henry P
23-03-2010, 12:32 PM
I drink more tea, but a hot choc often hits the spot
Burial or cremation?

Maryd.
23-03-2010, 12:44 PM
Same, I drink more tea too. Haven't had a hot chocolate, since winter last year.

I have mixed feelings about this. I will stick to burial, for now. But I am still young enough to change my mind.

Henry P
23-03-2010, 12:50 PM
I opt for burial, but cremation is cheaper
Make a will or not?

Maryd.
23-03-2010, 01:08 PM

Henry P
23-03-2010, 01:16 PM
No, except on fruit sometimes
What about you?

Maryd.
23-03-2010, 01:39 PM

Henry P

Henry P
24-03-2010, 12:28 AM
You. You're a woman

Maryd.
24-03-2010, 12:36 AM
How you underestimate me, my good sir. I would sooner give in than to argue with you.
Mwah.

Now be careful with this one, it could get you into trouble...

Henry P
24-03-2010, 12:50 AM

Smoking in cars- ban or not?

Maryd.
24-03-2010, 10:58 AM
I think it's dangerous to smoke in cars, you can cause an accident, if the cigarette falls in your lap. Ban smoking.

Smoking in pubs: Allow or ban?

Henry P
24-03-2010, 02:04 PM
That would be very hard to enforce, There is a campaign to ban smoking on cars on the grounds that kids will inhale the fumes, but what about in people's homes? A non-starter
Smoking is banned in UK pubs , restaurants, workplaces, anywhere public with a roof and walls. What about Oz?

Maryd.
24-03-2010, 02:07 PM
Actually I am not sure about pubs as I haven't been in one for a long time, but restaurants and workpaces, etc yes.

Men's looks-
George Clooney or Brad Pitt?

Maryd.
24-03-2010, 02:46 PM
Well at my age I would like to be seen with George Clooney. Brad Pit could almost look like my son. Not a good look.

Henry P
25-03-2010, 12:27 AM
Pitt looked like a tramp a frw days ago with woolly hat and wispy beard. He's only 2 years younger than Clooney
Tom Cruise or Dasniel Craig?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 12:30 AM
Well, I don't take well to Tom Cruise and isn't Daniel Craig a honey... So it's Daniel Craig.
Jeniffer Anniston or Eva Longoria?

Henry P
25-03-2010, 12:36 AM
Eva is prettier but Jen is fitter, as they say in Yorkshire
Gregory Peck or Cary Grant?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 12:43 AM
It's difficult to chose from such fine men... But alas I chose Cary Grant.
Emily Watson or Kate Winslet?

Henry P
25-03-2010, 12:59 AM
watson is a better actress. I suppose winslet is prettier but neither of them are my cuop of tea
Paul Newman or Robert redford?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 01:04 AM
I cannot chose between the two... That would be a sin.
Teri Hatcher or Felilcity Huffman?

Henry P
25-03-2010, 01:09 AM
Huffman is a better actress, but Hatcher is very pretty
Leonardo Di Caprio or Johnny Depp?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 01:16 AM
Well, I don't really like either, but I enjoyed Johnny Depp's performance in the recent flick 'Alice in Wonderland', so Mr Depp it is.

Don't take well to either, but will go Hugh, since he is great on the stage and big screen.

Henry P
25-03-2010, 08:57 AM
on looks, Madonna. cher is a better actress, but dislike both

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 09:37 AM
Looks only... Well, Robert De Niro.

Shops: Shopping town centres or open markets?

Henry P
25-03-2010, 02:31 PM
town centres. The markets here are very downmarket. In London it's a different matter.

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 03:05 PM
I usually cook, what family has shown me... Very rarely do I use a cook book.
Do you listen adn accept advice from family or strangers?

Henry P
25-03-2010, 03:13 PM
If I think it is good advice, then yes. But I think through why they're giving me it
Do you?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 03:28 PM
Well I try to listen to family, as often they have your best interests at heart. But sometimes someone looking in from the outside, can also do the trick.

Henry P
25-03-2010, 03:30 PM
Just diet, mainly. It worked last year, but I haven't got going again .yet
Same?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 05:21 PM
Well, I do them both and I looked pretty hot last year... I have however put on 5 kilos since then, because I stopped my workouts. But I am working on it again.
Fruit or vegetable?

Henry P
25-03-2010, 05:23 PM
Fruit, but I like my veg too.
Music on old vinyl albums or CDs?

Maryd.
25-03-2010, 11:49 PM
Yes, I eat the veg, for health, but I prefer my fruit.
I miss the old vinyl albums, mind you I still have a few here, the late Michael Jackson, Paul McCartney and John Farnham. Hubby has Elvis and his Greek music.
Only ever listen to CD's these days, that and my mp3 player.

Television: Wide screen or normal?

Henry P
26-03-2010, 12:41 AM
I have dozens of vinyl albums from the 70s onwards, but my turntable doesn't work.
My TV isn't widescreen, but one of the last boxes . It works perfectly, so i'm replacing it till it packs up and isn't worth replacing
the internet- essential or not?

Maryd.
26-03-2010, 12:46 AM
Henry, you can by turntables in second hand shops... We did and hubby put all his albums onto the computer this way and made a Greek music file.

Essential: for two reasons only. One, because my children need it for school now, everything is done on line these days Henry... It's an unusual era we are entering into.
And two, because I can keep in touch with you. Mwah.

Henry P
26-03-2010, 01:05 AM
I was hoping you'd say that. I'd be lost without the internet. An incredible resource
Mobile phones- essential or not?

Maryd.
26-03-2010, 01:27 AM
I have it for my children, otherwise, I just want to throw it against the wall... I get so frustrated when I am having a relaxing day and it goes off non-stop.

Henry P
26-03-2010, 01:37 AM
They're useful in emergencies and when you need to talk to someone on the hoof
Television- essential or not?

Maryd.
26-03-2010, 02:14 AM
Nope, toss the idiot box out... Well, after the news anyway.
Radio: essential or not?

Henry P
26-03-2010, 09:03 AM
it is for me- I need a constant companion through the day- news or good music
same?

Maryd.
26-03-2010, 02:56 PM
Yes, sometimes radio, somtimes just CD's but music is always running in the house... Mind you there are some days I just forget and like my peace and quiet.

Drinks: with ice or without?

Henry P
27-03-2010, 12:28 AM
Ice on hot days, but they are rare here, if very welcome
Make-up- essential or not?

Maryd.
27-03-2010, 01:43 AM
Not essential.. I do wear it, but lately I have been wearing less. I guess at my age... No make up shall hide my years.

Expensive attire or the cheaper brands?

Henry P
27-03-2010, 01:58 AM
I wear cheaper stuff . No point wasting money.
Same?

Maryd.
27-03-2010, 04:55 AM
No I wear the cheaper stuff too and every time I wear something I mix and match clothes in the cupboard and come up with some thing completely new and everyone asks if I bought a new outfit... Have to watch the pennies when your a mum. Shoes on the other hand have to be comfortable... I buy what is right for my feet as my feet. Other wise I end up with back issues.
Expensive shoes or the cheaper versions?

Henry P
27-03-2010, 09:35 AM
Cheap shoes hurt your feet, so I'm prepared to spend more on good comfortable ones.
what about you?

Maryd.
27-03-2010, 03:37 PM
Well I need good shoes, so yes I will spend the money if I can afford it... But as I don't go out much I don't have to buy many.

Henry P
27-03-2010, 03:42 PM
So you're not a shoe lover? Sensible girl
Lying- part of human nature or not?

Maryd.
27-03-2010, 03:56 PM
To survive perhaps...
What do you think?

Henry P
27-03-2010, 04:03 PM
Yes, I think it is.
Should tax inspectors be allowed to open people's mail without permission?

Maryd.
27-03-2010, 04:12 PM
A, no-no. No one should open anyone elses mail... It might be a love letter. And the won't be able to control their emotions
Fake a smile or not?

Henry P
27-03-2010, 04:15 PM
I find that hard to do. I look a miserable sod in photos unless I think of something funny>

Maryd.
27-03-2010, 04:40 PM
Yes I can manage to smile, there are times they are sincere, but lately...
When depressed: Eat a lot of food or drink lots of alcohol?

Henry P
27-03-2010, 09:20 PM
Comfort-eat and sleep. i've never been drawn to drink
What about you?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 12:59 AM
Used to drink, now I do a workouts on the tedmill. It's the best frustration release. Sometimes If I've had a really bad day (like yesterday) I do weights as well. So by this time next week, I would have probably lost a kilo.
Beach or pool?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 02:11 AM
Beach. Best I've been on is Tel Aviv in Israel
Sleep or watch people on a beach?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 02:15 AM
Sleep... Watching peolpe almost feels like perving.
Same?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 02:32 AM
I just lie there with eyes closed and try to relax

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 03:31 AM
Love the feel of the warmth on the beach...

Lie on the beach and enjoy the sun or spend more time in the water?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 10:20 AM
I can't swim but I love splashing arouind and feeling the water on me.
Starting school early to finish the day early or later so teenagers can get mOre sleep?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 02:29 PM
Later, let them sleep.

Go to a formula 1 race or a street fiesta?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 02:42 PM
Street fiesta is better than expensive tickets to see little, get deafened and inhale fumes
Agree?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 02:53 PM
Absolutely... It cost hubby $99.00 to get in, (and standing room only) my son got in for free, but this will be his last year to get in for free, as he turns 13 next year.

Henry P
28-03-2010, 02:57 PM
How do you prove you're 13? Are you expected to carry ID in Oz?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 03:18 PM
Well Andrew didn't have ID. I've never crossed that path before, so I may have to do my homework on that one.

Allowing teen's drinking age to be at 18 or wait until they are 21?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 03:34 PM
18. 21 will lead to "illegal" boozing. I drank Babycham at Xmas when I was 7
School trips to sexual health clinics or the beach and theme parks?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 10:19 PM
Now that's an odd one Henry... I didn't even know kids could go on trips to the cliinics... I think send them to the beach and theme park?

Quarrel: Stay and fight or run and hide?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 11:25 PM
Apparently this is the latest idea for end-of-year school trips, but I 'd rather go to the beach than look at pictures of diseased ****s
I've never had a physical quarrel since I was 5, but I'm not sure what I'd do. Probably get out of there, unless someone I loved was in danger
Same?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 11:27 PM
Yes I would probably do the same.

Toilet: Read or not?

Henry P
28-03-2010, 11:49 PM
I read there. Some people have bookracks in their toilets
Dining table - wood or glass and metal?

Maryd.
28-03-2010, 11:52 PM
That's crazy...

At the moment wood. It's 22 years old though and needs replacing, I haven't really decided wether to buy wood or glass.
You?

Henry P
29-03-2010, 12:08 AM
I have a wooden one in the kitchen and a heavy glass and steel one in the dining room

I don't like too many things on my walls either
Need company. like you, my dear
write poems for yourself or to impress others?

Maryd.
30-03-2010, 01:13 AM
Yes, true, need company...

Well I have written poetry for both, myself and others. But I usually write about life and my experience or lack/of, because I feel the need to, not because I want to impress anyone.
Same?

Henry P
30-03-2010, 01:23 AM
My poems are written for myself first, but any praise from others is welcome.
take a nap on the sofa or in bed?

Maryd.
30-03-2010, 02:12 AM

Same?

smorzando
30-03-2010, 08:26 AM

30-03-2010, 09:15 AM
Drive.
Sex education in schools- compulsory or not?

Maryd.
30-03-2010, 12:28 PM
I am having mixed points of views, stewing in my mind over this one. I would like my children to be aware of sex/and/or sexual deseases and predators as such. Lucky for my children I am so open with them and have had some private chats, which may keep them wise and careful. However there are some parents (my husband included) That do not discuss such matters and young people end up pregnant or worse, with an uncontrollable desease. I say compulsory...

Meat or fish?

Henry P
30-03-2010, 12:46 PM
Meat
Work for cash or for a cause?

Maryd.
30-03-2010, 01:41 PM
I would say a cause, but don't let hubby hear me... If one doesn't get paid, then it's not worth it, he'd claim... Shhhhh....

Same?

Henry P
31-03-2010, 12:03 AM
yes. Ideally I'd like to live from writing as I don't take kindly to superiors bossing me about. But I've never worked for a business, and hope I never shall
Weekly or fortnightly rubbish collection?

Maryd.
31-03-2010, 12:05 AM

Henry P
31-03-2010, 12:39 AM
Drive
Buy milk at a supermarket or have it delivered?

Maryd.
31-03-2010, 12:43 AM
Actually Henry, I would walk if the weather is cool.
I would pick up my milk, not have it delivered... I have never had groceries delivered...
Around the house: Casual and comfortable or designer wear?

Henry P
31-03-2010, 12:55 AM
It used to be common for milkmen to deliver milk to your doorstep, but now most people get it at the supermarket
Shopping in person or online?

Maryd.
31-03-2010, 01:10 AM
Oh, I don't like to shop on line, I like to go out to shop... Mind you I have been told it is always cheaper on line.
Same?

Henry P
31-03-2010, 01:31 AM
i like to go out too, but i bought some goodies for Christmas online. It's not cheaper here as you pay for delivery and get the stuff that is about to expire

Maryd.
31-03-2010, 01:33 AM
Buy fresh or bulk buy?

Henry P
31-03-2010, 01:52 AM
Fresh, but I buy some things in bulk, like washing powder and conditioner, bleach, washing up liquid, toilet paper
Same?

Maryd.
31-03-2010, 01:55 AM
Yes fresh as well... Nothing worse than a power failure and you lose everything in your freezer. This way one is only buying what one needs. Like you I only by bulk in those items you mentioned.

Tea: Milk or not milk?

Henry P
31-03-2010, 02:03 AM
A little milk, please, but no sugar

Maryd.
01-04-2010, 06:09 AM
I like mine strong, but I also like plenty of milk. I am naughty and have one teaspoon of sugar.

Children raised in orphanages or in foster homes?

Henry P

Foster homes are better, I think. What do you think?

amberzak
06-04-2010, 10:35 AM
Fosterhomes as long as the foster families are good
(and they are not called Orphanages in England anymore, they are children's homes, as my step dad points out to me all the time)

07-04-2010, 09:07 PM
no. What are the health benefits?
Dark chocolate or normal?

Henry P

I prefer dark, at least 70% cocoa- it helps lower blood pressure and boosts serotonins, the happy hormone in the brain

Maryd.
07-04-2010, 10:01 PM
I should get a bucket load of that stuff.
Normal chocolate or white?

Henry P

I tend to forget to check my car. I always make sure there is plenty of petrol and occasionally i will check the water. Drinking Water: boil or tap

Henry P
08-04-2010, 05:31 PM
tap. It's good soft water here in Yorkshire which doesn't fur up washing machines and kettles with lime like the stuff in London, which is chalky and has been drunk several times before. What's yours like?

Maryd.
08-04-2010, 06:59 PM
Melbourne has the best water in Australia. But lately I have started boiling it.

Maryd.
11-04-2010, 09:51 AM

Henry P

good explanation.

Maryd.
11-04-2010, 11:34 AM

Henry P

In the train: Give up your seat or not?

Henry P
15-04-2010, 07:59 PM
