The five questions are:
1 - "What are you thinking?"
2 - "Do you love me?"
3 - "Do I look fat?"
4 - "Do you think she is prettier than me?"
5 - "What would you do if I died?"
What makes these questions so bad is that every one is guaranteed to explode into a major argument and/or divorce if the man does not answer properly, which is to say dishonestly.
For example:
1 - "What are you thinking?" The proper answer to this question, of course, is, I'm sorry if I've been pensive, dear. I was just reflecting on what a warm, wonderful, caring, thoughtful, intelligent, beautiful woman you are and what a lucky guy I am to have met you."
Obviously, this statement bears no resemblance whatsoever to what the guy was really thinking at the time, which was most likely one of five things:
a - Baseball
b - Football
c - How fat you are.
d - How much prettier she is than you.
e - How he would spend the insurance money if you died.
According to the Sassy article, the best answer to this stupid question came from Al Bundy, of Married With Children, who was asked it by his wife, Peg. "If I wanted you to know," Al said, "I'd be talking instead of thinking."
The other questions also have only one right answer but many wrong answers:
2 - "Do you love me?" The correct answer to this question is, "Yes." For those guys who feel the need to be more elaborate, you may answer, "Yes, dear.
Wrong answers include:
a - I suppose so.
b - Would it make you feel better if I said yes.
c - That depends on what you mean by "love".
d - Does it matter?
e - I was thinking of how I would spend the insurance money if you died.
3 - "Do I look fat?" The correct male response to this question is to confidently and emphatically state, "No, of course not" and then quickly leave the room.
Wrong answers include:
a - I wouldn't call you fat, but I wouldn't call you thin either.
b - Compared to what?
c - A little extra weight looks good on you.
d - I've seen fatter.
e - Could you repeat the question? I was thinking about your insurance policy.
4 - "Do you think she's prettier than me?" The "she" in the question could be an ex-girlfriend, a passer-by you were starring at so hard that you almost cause a traffic accident or an actress in a movie you just saw. In any case, the correct response is, "No, you are much prettier."
Wrong answers include:
a - Not prettier, just pretty in a different way.
b - I don't know how one goes about rating such things.
c - Yes, but I bet you have a better personality.
d - Only in the sense that she's younger and thinner.
e - I sorry what did you say, I was thinking of how I would spend the insurance money if you died.
5 - "What would you do if I died?" Correct answer: "Dearest love, in the event of your untimely demise, life would cease to have meaning for me and I would perforce hurl myself under the front tires of the first Domino's Pizza truck that came my way." This might be the stupidest question of the lot, as is illustrated by the following stupid joke:
"Dear," said the wife. "What would you do if I died?"
"Why, dear, I would be extremely upset," said the husband. "Why do you ask such a question?"
"Would you remarry?" persevered the wife. "No, of course not, dear" said the husband.
"Don't you like being married?" said the wife. "Of course I do, dear" he said.
"Then why wouldn't you remarry?" "Alright," said the husband, "I'd remarry."
"You would?" said the wife, looking vaguely hurt. "Yes" said the husband.
"Would you sleep with her in our bed?" said the wife after a long pause.
"Well yes, I suppose I would." replied the husband.
"I see," said the wife indignantly." And would you let her wear my old clothes?"
"I suppose, if she wanted to" said the husband.
"Really," said the wife icily. "And would you take down the pictures of me and replace them with pictures of her?"
"Yes. I think that would be the correct thing to do."
"Is that so?" said the wife, leaping to her feet. "And I suppose you'd let her play with my golf clubs, too."
"Of course not, dear," said the husband. "She's left-handed."

The 5 Toughest Questions Women Ask - And Their Answers
Light Up My Life
Lighting breaks or makes a house interior if your house if beautifully lit with gorgeous lamps and light fixtures your house will look lovely but if there's not enough lighting and the light fixtures are boring, the house will look dull.I saw this beautiful table lamp in one of those collections of table lamps they have here at Farreys.com and I fell in-love with it immediately. It's simple but it's gorgeous and can actually be an accent light in the room and it's just $60.
There are other beautifully crafted lamps and lamp shades from floor lamps to desk lamps available in there and price starts at $60 to as high as your budget can afford. Their website is quite cool with easy search options, you should check them out. I want this lamp!
Forgetfulness
What can you say about this?
'People will forget what you said,
People will forget what you did...
But people will never forget how you made them feel'.
Personally, I think there's some truth in it.

Acknowledge Your Blessings
"I dreamed I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels.
My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, 'This is the Receiving Section.' Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are Received.'
I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.
Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.The angel then said to me, 'This is the Packaging and Delivery Section.' Here, the graces and
blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them. I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.
Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. 'This is the Acknowledgment Section,' My angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed.> 'How is it that there is no work going on here?' I asked.
'So sad,' the angel sighed.'After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments .''How does one acknowledge God's blessings?' I
asked.
'Simple,' the angel answered. Just say, 'Thank You, Lord.'
I asked,'What Blessings should they acknowledge?' 'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep, you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world's wealthy. And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity.'
'Also..... If you woke up this morning with more health than illness...You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation, you are ahead of 700 million people in the world. If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death, you are envied by and more blessed than three billion people in the world.'
'If your parents are still alive and still married...You are very rare ... 'If you can hold your head up and smile, You are not the norm, You're unique to all those in doubt and despair.'
'Ok, now what?' 'How can I start?'
If you can read this, then you just received a double blessing, Someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Ash Wednesday And Catholic Practice Of Faith
Thanks to the taxi driver I was riding earlier for reminding me that today is Ash Wednesday. Thanks to him I was able to attend mass to pay homage to Our Savior an be proud of my faith by wearing the sign of the cross on my forehead. Ash Wednesday is a very significant day in Catholic practice as this day is the beginning of Lent, the time of Jesus Christ big sacrifices for the salvation of the sins of the world.
I know that other religions or sect smirk at Catholic and their practices as they think we Catholics are hypocrites and practice our faith very seasonal. We don't preach as hard as the others because we believe in the freewill of men and that we believe that our faith in God, repentance from sins and praying sincerely will save our souls. I believe that God does not favor a single sect or religion but an individuals way of life.
Some will not agree with me and would call my attention to discuss this with me to insist on what they believe but I think people in the Catholic Chat City will understand me on this one and would agree that that religion is something people should not argue about especially those who practice different faith because that will cause a great clash of practices and beliefs.
