Saturday Six - Episode 216
It’s time to think positive…about being negative. Are you cynical? Are you practically Oscar the Grouch? Or are you that happy type that most of the rest of us would like to shove down a storm drain be much more like?
Being negative is this week’s topic!
- First to play last week: Bailey’s Granny of My Life as a Grandma. Congratulations!
(According to the rules, “First to Play” requires you to be the first to include the link to the specific entry in which you answered the questions, not just the general link to your blog.)
Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as “first to play,” you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!
1. Is the glass half-empty or half-full?
2. Are you more of your own worst critic, or do you tend to be everyone else’s worst critic instead?
3. How do you feel about technological advances: are you generally optimistic that a new system will make life better or worse?
4. Take the quiz: Are you too negative?
5. A friend asks you opinion about something, and you know that being honest might hurt his or her feelings. How honest are you likely to be?
6. You see a panhandler on the street: which tends to be closer to your immediate impression: that he’s a good person who’s down on his luck or a bad person who doesn’t want to work?
If you have a Reader’s Choice question you’d like to see asked (and answered), send me an email! I’d love to be able to include it in a future edition of the Saturday Six.

1. Is the glass half-empty or half-full?
That depends. Are we pouring or drinking?
2. Are you more of your own worst critic, or do you tend to be everyone else’s worst critic instead?
My own.
3. How do you feel about technological advances: are you generally optimistic that a new system will make life better or worse?
Generally…optimistic.
4. Take the quiz: Are you too negative?
5. A friend asks you opinion about something, and you know that being honest might hurt his or her feelings. How honest are you likely to be?
I am more likely to be honest as long as I can come up with a way of being very diplomatic about it.
6. You see a panhandler on the street: which tends to be closer to your immediate impression: that he’s a good person who’s down on his luck or a bad person who doesn’t want to work?
Down on his luck, for the most part, even though I have been scammed twice by the same guy in two nearby grocery store parking lots. I picked up on his act pretty quickly. He was pretending that something was wrong with his car and needed a few dollars for oil. I didn’t have any cash on me at the time, so that was easy. Two weeks later, different parking lot, same guy, same story. I guess he STILL didn’t get his “oil.”

1) Why, both, of course.
2) Why, both, of course.
3) Why, both, of course.
4) Apparently, I am a positive person.
5) My friends quickly learn not to ask me a question to which they do not want an honest answer. An invaluable lesson many people never do learn.
6) I think there are an equal number of both kinds out there. So, why, both, of course.
