A couple of years ago, I was listening to the radio and I heard two guys talking about, "The Seven Questions to Unearth Your True Self" I wrote them down at the time and hadn't really thought about them, until I came across them again today. So I thought what better place to put these questions than the "Getting to Know You" board here at Simply Scripts. So if you want to have a crack at answering them, here they are.  

1 What lessons do you intend to teach your kids?

2 What can you talk about with absolute passion in public?

3 If money was no object, what would you do with your life?

4 When you're in a bookstore what section do you gravitate to?

5 What notes do you have on your fridge or notice board?

6 What tasks make time fly for you?

7 What do people close to you tell you over and over again?

I don't believe you just did that!!!

Recent example of why #7
I saw a cop hiding, and using his radar gun. I passed him by without incident. A van approached me, and I flashed him to warn of the cop... BAD IDEA!
The van was a police van! I flashed a cop to warn him a cop was up ahead...  ::)
Lucky I didn't get pulled over. My boyfriend said, "What did you do that for!" and said that is a big fine.  Don't know why I did it. Haven't done that in over 20 years....
