Do you prefer fiction, nonfiction or self help?

No, but nonfiction I did.

I’m no good with fiction. Don’t read it, don’t write it.

What was your greatest accomplishment of the day?

Got shells for my dgtrs yomtov outfits

If someone close to you didnt attend your simcha, what would you do?
Be upset, be her dlkz, call her up to ask her why she didn't come?

Call her up to tell her I missed her. (That way she will hopefully tell me why she didn't come without my actually asking her... Idea

)

How many phone calls have you made today? (It's hard to come up with questions!)

Didn't count

How would you react if someone called you up with a segulah to try for a yeshuah?

Did any bal simcha ask you why someone else in your family didn't attend? How would you respond? If there wasn't a reason that was enough valid to justify the absence, how would you respond?

Depends on the segulah. If it's something I should do, then it's maybe worth trying, but if they say something like "donate $250 to us and all your dreams will come true within the year," that gets on my nerves.

What's something that annoys you?

Unending phone calls about yet another segulah, I guess...

What do you do when you can't openly disagree with another person, for respect, but have totally different way of thinking than other person?

Getting deep here, sorry, but all 3 scenarios above I needed to deal with today!

What do you do when you must choose between a hot chocolate chip lava cake and a hot double chocolate lava cake? (I've been in this situation more times than I can count)

I like deep - it makes me think! Sorry that you had to deal with it though...

Did anyone ever forget about an appointment & only remembered when they were supposed to be there already?

This also happened to me today

Oops, I missed this one! I would probably say, "I'm sorry that I wasn't able to make it. I really wish I could have come... I was definitely there in spirit though!"

It sounds like you had a lovely day today Confused

I've been in this situation, but I don't even remember what the appointment was for or what I did

The question is about justifying someone else's absence not about your own?

Oh okay, so then you can say that the baal simcha should ask that relative. Why should you feel obligated to answer for someone else?

[quote="mamma llama"]I nod quietly and then switch the topic without making it obvious.

And what if the other person happens to be your mil?

I think the same rules apply. Make your body language agree with her, so she won't be offended. It does depend though on what you are disagreeing about, because "let's say she says green should never be worn and you act like you agree; then, you may have a problem wearing green again..."
