    If I have say 6 toilet rolls.. when is action advised to purchase more? Should I play safe and purchase at 3 rolls remaining or live a little and wait until the last roll?

    This is a great and timely question. I'm struggling with this right now, with only three rolls left. I keep telling myself I need to buy more, but at the same time something tells me I can wait. I eagerly await the response.
    back door dilemma.

    ... great band name

    Well that could be a good thing or a bad thing, but so long as I don't sound like my mother then the world is a good place:)

    I really like my .40 cal, but I'm worried that in the zombie apocalypse that 9mm will be much more available. Should I switch?

    Truth is that if a zombie apocalypse happened I would prefer to be dead because it would smell horrendous. Like full on the smell of rotting flesh, and dead corpses walking around, dried fluids everywhere and from experience that smell is the stuff of nightmares. My life would lose all meaning. I think I need to refer you to a zombie apocalypse specialist. But for the gun, whichever makes you happiest to use in a gun range following the laws of the land should be the one that you use. Just practice gun safety and enjoy yourself when it is in use.

    I don't know why, but I love talking to random strangers, it always new and interesting.

    I only give advice to strangers if they ask me a question, then I answer them quite literally, I am a horrible liar and don't even bother trying usually. I if suspect my answer may be hurtful I do my best to be evasive in a truthful way.

    Did Sinbad Play a Genie in the Movie Shazam and Then Did He Move Into My House?

    Kind of confused with the cultural reference. I may need to open this up to anyone who has seen Shazam. And is Then Did He Move Into My House a movie title or do you think Sinbad moved into your actual house? Cause if Sinbad moved in, that would be an adventure and possibly a good, but destructive time. A Genie on the other hand depends on which mythology it follows. Either way deep breath and you may need to google this. I don't think I have advice that works for this situation. :) If you find something, keep me posted:)

    I consider myself very truthful and blunt, think Sheldon from Big Bang Theory except female, but if my friend is facing the fact they have a horrendous disease, you bet I am going to lie to them and say everything they do is sunshine and roses cause they need that at the moment. And I will sincerely mean it. Longer we are friends, and the better they physically are, I can reign that impulse in a be truthful in a nicer more tactful way. It is the only time tact actually exists in my world. :) But yes in some instances I understand being evasive. When it's needed it is needed.

    Alright, so I had my fun, got to have a moment where I got to spend off my inner need to help people and hopefully not come off as having a superiority complex with my stuff altogether cause that is a lie. Off to the physical world now. And if this thread lives on, I hope that you spread positive thoughts and humor. All the best.

    Depends, if you live alone buy more know. If you live with someone else, wait.

    Ask your date first if they like lizards, most of the time slow baby steps are needed, and maybe wait till the second date to bring out the lizards? Maybe they could visit the lizards rather then you bringing them.

    Who doesn't like lizards?

    Some people might be scared of them at first, they just need the opportunity to meet them when they are comfortable with it instead of it being thrust upon them because it means that you cared enough for their comfort to be aware of what they needed in that situation. However, if they tell you to get rid of your lizards (all of them) or call you weird for liking them, then they aren't going to be the best match for you.

    I think I need advice on this but don't know how to word it

    Well it is about being conscientious of another person, of the fact that every single person you interact with has had their own experiences. Some may be more open to trying new things, some may be traumatized from something they experienced before and are scared. That is ok, it is a spectrum. Understanding that takes time and effort to get to know the person you are talking to, and it requires building trust in your relationship, no matter how brief they may be. So best policy is talking to the person, find out what they like and what they dislike, and ask them if they want to try new things together. If you need more advice, maybe send me an email if that works better for you.

    So on a first date for example I just outright ask what makes them uncomfortable? Or maybe just bring out one lizard like casually and see what they say and gradually introduce more lizards?


    Only cause I saw this before I walked away. How about go on the first date, find out if you have similar interests and let the conversation flow and bring up the topic of lizards somewhere in the middle of the date. Tell them that you really like lizards, see if they like them too or ask them have ever seen one in person. Ask would they want to in the future? You can set it up so that you have a second date. Tell them you have 'x' number of lizards and ask them if they would like to see one of them on the next date, in an open area preferably in daylight so they can take in how nice the lizard is, then if things still progress to date number 3/'n' ask them to come over maybe in a group/social situation like a game night with friends to see the lizards that you do have. As you get to know one another it won't be so much a formula you will be comfortable with talking with one another.
