QotD: Guest vs. Host

nobody@vox.com(Gina) — Thu, 22 Nov 2007 09:38:14 -0700

For a full sit-down dinner with several guests, would you rather be the one cooking or do you prefer to just show up and eat?

I'm a control freak; I'd much rather cook. I love entertaining, and I have a great BFF and my mom to help me out.

QotD: A Little Something To Start With

What's your favorite appetizer to order at a restaurant?

I personally love to order cheese fries and or chili cheese fries. An appetizer is a dish that you would feel too guilty to eat at home or as a main entree. I love deep fried potatoes smothered in cheese and bacon with ranch dressing on the side for dipping, but I won't make them myself at home.

QotD: If I Had Guaranteed Success...

What would you attempt to do if you knew you could never fail?
Submitted by BeckyPink.

"What wouldn't I do?" asked my dear friend/co-worker T.

I smirked, and thought to myself, "There are tons of things I wouldn't do"

What would I try? I think that the possibility of failure is what makes an attempt worthwhile. If that aspect of accomplishment is removed, than it ceases to be an accomplishment at all, but rather an expected outcome. Failure is what makes us great. Whether as a learning experience or as a vague possibility of what could lie ahead if we do not try hard enough. Eliminating the possibility of failure would eliminate any ambition that lies within us. Trying something that you can't fail at is not trying at all. Trying in its purest sense implies that there is struggle. If you know you can't fail, then you won't try. So therefore I would attempt nothing if I could not fail because failure is what makes the attempt worth it.

QotD: My Thoughts on Prenups

nobody@vox.com(Gina) — Sun, 19 Aug 2007 21:46:52 -0600

Would you sign a prenuptial agreement? Why or why not?
Submitted by Lantastic.

Yay, my first post. Well, I'm used to writing blogs that are basically advice to my friends.

Lets answer this question:

I can see lots of reasons not to sign the pre nup but I'm going to play devils advocate and say yes. I would sign it. It's a safeguard if not for your assets for the rest of your family. If you go into a marriage and one of you already has a child, what happens if the childs parent passes away. Often times, a pre nup will trump a will. If you have a good pre nup you can protect yourself and your children. Signing a pre nup does not necessarily doom the marriage to failure, but if you did make a poor choice or suffer some sort of tragedy, you wont have to worry quite as much.
