1. Do you get sick very often? What illness do you find that you've had most frequently? Luckily I haven't for a while. (knock on wood!) Last illness I think was probably just a cold.
2. I know a man who flat out refuses to go to the Doctor's office. You'd need an ambulance to get him near a hospital. Not me, I'd rather go as soon as I feel sick so I can get better. Do you mind going to see the Doctor when you get sick? Do you know anyone who just refuses to go to a Doctor when they get ill? Any idea why they are like that? I don't mind. That's what they are there for. I can't think of anyone who would refuse to go when they are sick.
3. How about visiting the Dentist? Do you go get a check-up every 6 months? Or do you dread going? Ugh I hate going to the Dentist. The doc I have kind of creeps me out.
4. I've heard about a diet pill called "Thermolift" that allegedly gives you quite an energy rush (oh boy mentioning this will surelybring us all a ton of Google hits won't it?). Although I've thought about getting some of these pill for the times I need a boost, I'm probably not going to take the plunge. Have you ever taken any diet pills, energy pills or energy drinks? How did they make you feel? Do you still take them? How come? I have tried diet pills that were supposed to do that but, I never took the amount they suggested because I was a bit nervous how "bouncy" I would get. I stopped taking them because I don't think they were working with the lessen amont I was using and I didn't feel comfortable to take the recommended dosage which was like 4-6 pills a day.
5. Have you heard about "Gastric Bypass" surgery that many celebrities are doing to loose weight? (The process reduces the size of your stomach to facilitate weight loss) What are your thoughts on this procedure? Would you ever consider it? How would you feel if a relative were to decide to undergo the procedure? I think that if it helps people who cannot do anything else to lose the weight, it's a good thing. It's a very drastic procedure. I'd consider it if I was extremely over weight with no more options.
6. What do you think the opposite sex needs to experience to fully understand what it is like to be your gender? Menstration. Actually I'm not reallly sure. I can't think of just one thing that would make someone understand what it would be like.
7. And to lighten things up a bit before we go...What's the most worthless gadget, infomercial item or "looked like a bargain" item you have ever purchased or owned? I try to avoid buying that kind of stuff. I can't think of anything at the moment but I'm sure there's plenty I've purchased over the years that would fit into that category.
BONUS: Why can't every day be like Christmas?
