Thresholds
Time for another Friday 5 to celebrate the coming weekend!
1. How high is your guilt threshold?
My folks gifted me with a guilty conscience strong sense of right and wrong. I remember as a young child, I put a fish net on my doggie’s head to see what he would do. Of course, he was quite bothered by it, trying in vain to paw it off his head. Immediately, I thought: cruelty to animals! I rushed to remove the net and proceeded to apologize to him and pet him incessantly, which was probably equally as bothersome as having a net on his head. I felt guilty for weeks after the incident. Come to think of it, I still feel guilty about it. Oddly enough, if I had a pesky little brother and put a fish net on his head, I probably would not have felt nearly as bad about that — but rather would have thought it to be hilariously funny.
Sorry, tangent. Did I answer the question?
2. How strong is your resistance to sweets?
My resistance to sweets is pretty flimsy, at best. At worst, completely non-existent. One thing I cannot refuse: ice cream. Unless, of course, I don’t have a dose of Lactaid with me. Dark chocolates are difficult to resist as well.
3. How long is your fuse?
It depends. Behind the wheel during afternoon rush hour traffic: about an inch. With people, face-to-face, I try to afford a long fuse. At least long enough to keep me from detonating in their presence.
4. What is the quickest way to get you hot (you know what we mean!)?
Tender huggles, sweet nothings, and soft kisses.
5. How sensitive are you to ambient noise?
Very sensitive. I cherish peace and quiet.
Your turn. What are your thresholds?
