FAQ's - Frequently Asked Questions

I have some FAQs - but I don't have any answers for them. Otherwise, the acronym would be FAQ&A, wouldn't it? And you know why they are asked so frequently? Because as far as I know, nobody has answered them satisfactorily yet! By the way, if anyone has any SATISFACTORY answers for any of these, please let me know so I can put them on the FAQ&A list.


Frequently Asked Questions (without Answers):

  1. Why is it that all summer long, you can't find a single one of the 20 pairs of sunglasses you've purchased over the past 2 years, or a single one of the 10 bottles of sunblock SPF45 but you find out where all the winter gloves are... and then in the Winter, you can't find a complete pair of mittens/gloves and every single toque or scarf that you find has been dragged through the mud LAST Winter and never washed?? (But I'll bet you find all the sunblock.)
  2. Has a dog ever really eaten someone's homework (we will disqualify all homework for Home Economics, Food Art, and Nutrition courses)?
  3. Should someone be considered ethical and honest in their professional life if they can't be ethical or honest in their personal life? I mean, shouldn't their personal life mean MORE than their jobs??? How can someone expect you to believe that they can do their jobs ethically and honestly if they are ethically and morally bankrupt and integrity-challenged when it comes to personal choices and decisions?
  4. Why do people ask you "How are you" when they have no intention of hearing the true answer? Wouldn't it be better, if you didn't have the time to hear someone's potential lament to this question, that you just say "Hi. Hope you're well. Can't chat now. Gotta run."?
  5. Why do dustbunnies collect under the couch? I have a hardwood floor and for some reason, every speck of dust and mote of thread and fluff from any other area of the universe converges under my couch. I don't ever see it converge anywhere else but under the couch.... and maybe under the bed... and well, under the fridge too... and the stove. Okay, never mind this question.
  6. Why do the menstrual cycles of female co-habitants synchronize? Apparently if women live together for a while, their ovaries decide to produce at the same time after a while... why? To magnify the torture of any males in the house or to spare the males a non-synchronized but rather drawn out PMS event -- you know, Mom PMSing on Weeks 1 and 2 and Teenage daughter PMSing for the remainder of the month?
  7. Do cats KNOW when they tick people off? I think they do... and not just when you throw something at them. I think they know WHAT ticks people off and they time it perfectly.
  8. How did blondes come to be portrayed as "ditzy"? I mean, if the ratio of dumbness to blonde hair is higher than with any other hair color, I could understand the stereotyping, but then I'd have to ask the FAQ WHY are blondes dumber?
