I am obsessed with LIFE! I love my life and give thanks for the wonderful gift of life every day.

Can’t live without all my many blessings. I am so very blessed.

Am proud of my modest achievements in life.

Wish I could continue to enjoy my present level of health, happiness and independence.

Really need to apply myself more diligently to my painting and be more prolific.

Can’t handle it when people are rude, selfish and inconsiderate.

Look back on my childhood with a combination of enormous affection (home) and abject horror (school).

Relax by painting, drawing satirical cartoons and reading novels.

Am excited about being appointed moderator here at BetterMost. Yee-haw, mate!  :D

Have always wanted to achieve my present level of financial independence.

My biggest weakness is my over-sensitivity.

Fridge usually contains not a lot.

List of favourite things includes quality, quiet time alone and the company of my loved ones.

List of favourite people includes George and my parents.

Opinion on the state of the world is primarily optimistic with some reservations.

Mother always told me "Don't put it in your mouth. You never know where it’s been!"

Friends don’t understand why I love my own company so much.

Attitude to exercise is understated.

Relationship with my body is content.

Am proud of my accomplishments in life so fat.

Wish I could fly, right up to the sky but I can't!  :laugh: (You tube: orville i wish I could fly)

Really need to lose some weight.

Can’t handle it when people are ignorant and have an opinion on things having no basis fo that opinion at all.

Look back on my childhood with pride.

Relax by sitting and warching some TV.

Am excited about the National Brass Band Championships and how my band will do in it!

Have always wanted to travel the world

My biggest weakness is chocolate

Fridge usually contains milk

List of favourite things includes Holidays, kittens, chocolate, good food, good wine, good friends,

Attitude to exercise is fairly healthy - I do three Curve workouts a week and a callanetics calss most weeks and a bit of walking so not too bad..

Relationship with my body is I don't love it but I don't absolutely detest it either - it certaily could be a lot better looking with the use of further exercise and eating less crap!!!

I've always wanted to say "G'Day!"


I am obsessed with  Brokeback Mountain.

Can’t live without my family.

Am proud of my integrity.

Wish I could play a musical instrument (or at least carry a tune!).

Really need to have a vacation.

Can’t handle it when people are hypocritical, sanctimonious or cruel.

Look back on my childhood with good feelings.

Relax by reading.

Am excited about getting together with friends I haven't seen in a while.

Have always wanted to travel more.

My biggest weakness is chocolate.

Fridge usually contains skim milk.

List of favourite things includes books of any kind, including cookbooks,  a good meal with good friends, a good cup of coffee or tea.

List of favourite people includes my son, my husband, my mom, sisters and brother and their families, and a group of five girlfriends I get together with once a month.

Opinion on the state of the world is dependent upon my mood.  Sometimes hopeless, sometimes hopeful.

Mother always told me (1) be kind;  (2) the things you dislike in others may be the very things you fail to see in yourself.

Friends don’t understand why I sometimes just like to be alone.

Attitude to exercise is all right - once I'm doing it! 

Relationship with my body is so/so - depending upon my mood!

That sure is something to be very proud of, Kelda. Congratulations on making it through to the Championships. I hope you win!  :D

Your mother is a very wise woman.

Attitude to exercise is fairly healthy - I do three Curve workouts a week and a callanetics calss most weeks and a bit of walking so not too bad..

Gasp! I'm exhausted just thinking about all that, Kelda. You put me to shame! I do a great deal of walking each day at work, just dashing about the office in the normal course of my day, but I don't do any formal exercise as such, ever.  :(   ;)   ;D

G'Day, Marie!  :D

Good answer.

Mother always told me (1) be kind;  (2) the things you dislike in others may be the very things you fail to see in yourself.

This was personally a tough lesson for me to learn. It's very true, though.

This seems like quite a deep and probing questionnaire.  I think I'll have to ponder my answers a bit before responding.  Thanks for posting it Bud!

I am obsessed with Brokeback Mountain.

Can’t live without music.

Am proud of a friend who just came out.

Wish I could stick to my diet & exercise routine properly.

Really need to have a better focus on the future.

Can’t handle it when a bunch of crap falls apart at the same time.

Look back on my childhood with happiness that it's over.

Have always wanted to get married.

My biggest weakness is JIF Peanut butter.

Fridge usually contains chocolate milk.

List of favourite things includes Madonna CDs, books, internet, dvds.

Friends don’t understand why I'm addicted to Brokeback.

Attitude to exercise is "oh geez, I wish this was over."

Relationship with my body is improving, but still stressed.

Me too, Chuck. And have you ever noticed that when one thing goes amiss, you can bet there'll be something else go wrong soon after?  >:(

Have always wanted to get married.

Aww, I hope you get your wish, Chuck. All blessings to you.   :)

Friends don’t understand why I'm addicted to Brokeback.

My friends are the same. Two friends in particular loved BBM and one of them saw it nearly as many times as me, when it was showing in the cinemas - several times with me. But they seem to have moved on and BBM has now become just another good movie they enjoyed in the past. They can't seem to grasp that BBM is just as fresh for me today, as it was when I first saw it.   :)

Oh yeah.....I can handle 2 or 3 things, but when I've got people comming at me from all angles with stuff that needs to be done, I'm not happy!  I call it a "shit storm".   :laugh:

I know, for me too.  And when I went to the first bbq in 2006, two of them openly mentioned holding an intervention.   :laugh:

Aww, I hope you get your wish, Chuck. All blessings to you.   :)


I haven't given up hope, I know Mr. Right is out there.  I just wish he wasn't so damned good at "Hide & Seek".   :laugh:

I believe it's very difficult to stop smoking without support and assistance. Go to the New Zealand Quit Group at http://www.quit.org.nz/page/index.php and they'll give you all the support and assistance yo need to quit.  :D

Spoken by a non-smoker who has probably never known what it is like to try to quit........ ::) ::)

But Matt, if Kerry's good advice works, let me know....I hate the fact that I am still smoking, too.....

OMG Sue! How did you know? Am I THAT transparent? Don't answer that!   :laugh:

Yes, you are absolutely correct. I have NEVER smoked. Not even to try it. Never wanted to. Was never even curious to try.

Here's the Australian Quit site - http://www.quitnow.info.au/  :D

Thanks for the link,  but I think I will persevere with the book ta,

Hey Sue I will let you know how I get on this time, I have done it before. Heres the crazy thing, I hate the smell of second hand smoke, so when I was in Paris the hotel reeked of smoke, that put me off (that and the fact I had the flu) so I stopped cold turkey for 9 months. Earlier this year I hired the same book I bought and gave up for only 9 days, but this time it was virtually painless. So I figure I will be able to do it again. I will keep you updated and let you know the title of the book.

I've never had the urge to travel. Never been bitten by the travel bug. I'm a real home body. I enjoy my home and love being at home. Did some flying as a child and in my teens/twenties, but never liked it. The older I get, the less I like it. My phobia has definitely become worse since 9/11.   :'(
