Yes Puttus.

I have arrived! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

Kia

Here goes:
1. I saw a news report of a lady who killed her husband, 1 of 3 girls, wounded another and killed herself. The child that died was the eldest at three.The youngest is 7 months. This has been attributed to post-partum depression.

a: - Do you believe in PPD? Why or why not?
b: - How old should the first child be before a second one comes into being?
c: - Who do you think should have custody of raising the two surviving children?

2. At work, I have seen ppl in my area go to the washroom and come back without washing their hands. I have hinted subtly but the saga continues. How do you suppose I deal with this?

3 You and your family have been invited to a function that you have no intention of attending. You have made this very clear, yet your invitations arrive in the mail with directions for payment. How do you deal with this?

4. At what age do you tell a child the 'birds & bees' story?

5. It's Halloween at your eldest child's school. You have indicated in writing and in person to school staff that you do not wish to celebrate this and your child should not participate in Halloween activities. Your child comes home with a painted face and a gift - indicative of a Halloween Party. What do you do?

6. Your best friend tells you she has been unfaithful to her husband. Her partner in crime is the husband of your half-sister! How do you deal with this?

7. There is trouble brewing at your in-laws'. Your husband has asked you to allow his brother to stay with you 'for a while'. This brother has not worked in the last three years and has been known to resort to violent tantrums. If you say no, he may have to be placed in confinement. What's your move? Why?

8.Who is your mentor? Why so?

9. After a day or two in your company, what does one come away knowing about Kia?

10. If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say and why.

11. How much of one's life do you think one should disclose on a public bullietin boerd such as this one. Wamek?

12. Do you believe spouses should have separate bank accounts? Why?

13. How would you describe your ideal house/home?

14. What genre of music is your preference?

15. When I say 1980's, what's the first thing that comes to mind?

16.
Put these in the order in which they most appeal to you for (i)yourself, (ii) your beloved (iii) your best friend.
a- bags/attache/backpack etc
b- boots / shoes
c- hair
d- make up/ face
e- accessories
f- weight
g- colour coordination

17. If you could, what is the one thing you'd like to go back in time and change?

18. Do you live by a proverb, creed, motto or saying? If you do, what is it?

19. A few weeks ago I saw a child totally disregard parent's instruction and insisted on having her way. The father spoke harshly to her only to have the mom fly down his throat and embarass him in front of company. How would you handle the situation if you were:
i) - the mother
ii)- the father (lol)
iii) Me, the onlooker.

20. Do you think this idea of WWBP should be mandatory for ALL .com members? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Now, let me ask the last question in another way.

When you sit in your rocking chair, God willing, what will be your favourite memory of yourself...and what you did for the world... (up to now...and perhaps as a visionary)...if you will be able to remember? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Nothing big or major. Just that in many ways I have helped others when they needed an ear, and/or needed guidance.

Re: Beautiful Person - KIA

Here goes:
1. I saw a news report of a lady who killed her husband, 1 of 3 girls, wounded another and killed herself. The child that died was the eldest at three.The youngest is 7 months. This has been attributed to post-partum depression.

a: - Do you believe in PPD? Why or why not? Yes I do believe PPD and PAD (post adoption depression) exist and is very real. There are physical and environmental changes taking place which can throw someones equilibrium off.

b: - How old should the first child be before a second one comes into being? Therapists usually say 4 years but I think 3 is good space. There are days when I do see the benefits of having only one child though

c: - Who do you think should have custody of raising the two surviving children?

Dont know. If there is a loving relative who is willing to raise the chldren they should have custody

2. At work, I have seen ppl in my area go to the washroom and come back without washing their hands. I have hinted subtly but the saga continues. How do you suppose I deal with this

Carry wipes and continue to hint

3 You and your family have been invited to a function that you have no intention of attending. You have made this very clear, yet your invitations arrive in the mail with directions for payment. How do you deal with this? This function requires a payment and I made it clear b4 I wasnt going huh? I would reply and say regretfully I have other obligations and cannot go.

4. At what age do you tell a child the 'birds & bees' story? When they show interest in the subject - usually at 4 or 5 and then in an age appropriate manner.

5. It's Halloween at your eldest child's school. You have indicated in writing and in person to school staff that you do not wish to celebrate this and your child should not participate in Halloween activities. Your child comes home with a painted face and a gift - indicative of a Halloween Party. What do you do? I celebrate Halloween as for my kids this is a play dress up day. For those who do not celebrate the holiday, they generally do not have their child attend school that day to prevent their child from being viewed as the outsider. BTW what is wrong with a painted face, if it is something happy like a clown and the gift more than likely is candy or pencils o/

6. Your best friend tells you she has been unfaithful to her husband. Her partner in crime is the husband of your half-sister! How do you deal with this? Tell de best friend fi stop it as mi can probably talk wid her more comfortably.

7. There is trouble brewing at your in-laws'. Your husband has asked you to allow his brother to stay with you 'for a while'. This brother has not worked in the last three years and has been known to resort to violent tantrums. If you say no, he may have to be placed in confinement. What's your move? Why? Thank goodness I married a man who is smart enough to not allow this to happen!! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

8.Who is your mentor? Why so? My mother in law because she is a very balanced person

9. After a day or two in your company, what does one come away knowing about Kia? That I expect them to do their job, feel free to ask questions and I will help them as long as they are willing to learn. About me personally, I dont think they will get much info

10. If you could write your own epitaph, what would it say and why. I plan to be cremated so no need for an epitaph but if you insist -There then, Gone Now [img]/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

11. How much of one's life do you think one should disclose on a public bullietin boerd such as this one. Wamek? As much information as people are comfortable in disclosing. It is a personal choice.

12. Do you believe spouses should have separate bank accounts? Why? No. If you are not comfortable sharing your money with your mate, there are some trust issues in the relationship.

13. How would you describe your ideal house/home? A loft in the city and a house in the country (contemporary style) with high ceilings. Lots of windows to let the sun in. Also must have energy efficient, environmentally friendly appliances (eg hot water heaters, a/c/ heating units). Bamboo trees in the backyard are a must for privacy and a large enough back yard for entertaining.

14. What genre of music is your preference? mi love all kind of music except country & heavy metal

15. When I say 1980's, what's the first thing that comes to mind? Henna - I had henna in my hair in the 80s

16.
Put these in the order in which they most appeal to you for (i)yourself, (ii) your beloved (iii) your best friend.
a- bags/attache/backpack etc
b- boots / shoes
c- hair
d- make up/ face
e- accessories
f- weight
g- colour coordination

(i) b,a,d,c,g,f,e
(ii) g,b,c,d,f,e,a
(iii) d,c,f,g,b,a,e

17. If you could, what is the one thing you'd like to go back in time and change? My father dying the Friday b4 common entrance exams were published in the gleaner. We could have shared in the joy of me passing for the school of my first choice

18. Do you live by a proverb, creed, motto or saying? If you do, what is it? These days I just live and get through the day with some kind of organization

19. A few weeks ago I saw a child totally disregard parent's instruction and insisted on having her way. The father spoke harshly to her only to have the mom fly down his throat and embarass him in front of company. How would you handle the situation if you were:
i) - the mother
ii)- the father (lol)
iii) Me, the onlooker.

(i) As the mother I would not have interfered if the father spoke harshly to her. If I was bothered by the way he disciplined I would discuss the issue privately.
(ii) The father should have told the mother who rebuked him that they will discuss the matter later, privately.
(iii) Kept quiet as there are different parenting styles at play

20. Do you think this idea of WWBP should be mandatory for ALL .com members? [img]/forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] No members should have a choice in doing BWBP
