1. The other night my family took a walk while I stayed home
to finish some chores. I knew they would be visiting some neighbors on the other
block, but the longer they were gone, the more I got uncomfortable. As darkness
fell and no one was back, my mind just went nuts with all these scenarios that
could have happened. Of course, everything was fine and I was upset for no
reason at all. But it is amazing how the mind can really do a number on you.
Have you ever been in a situation where you were worried sick about
something/someone and your mind played out horrible outcomes? What was the
situation and what did your imagination come up with? How did it all turn out?
2. My Great Grandmother would turn her car around and drive
an extra block, if a black cat crossed the road in front of her. I used to toss
salt over my shoulder when I spilled some. Silly stuff, really. Are
there any superstitions that you believe in, or just do out of habit? Do you
feel like it makes a difference? There are things I do the same way daily
because I feel that if I don’t I will have bad luck

the things they’ve done that almost drove you over the edge? no
6. It has been said that you can tell how a man will treat his
wife/girlfriend by watching how he treats his mother. Do you think that is true?
yes
7. But then, there is the other extreme. Do you know
any men that are just a little too close to their mothers? You know the kind,
they won’t make a decision on their own, can’t do their own laundry and so on?
How did that relationship work out for you? Any stories to tell? I work with
someone who’s son is like this.
