Poll of the day

Posted by Dr. Bob on August 28, 2010, at 0:29:34

If you were to have a locket, would you put someone's photo in it? If so, whose photo would you put there? Why?

I heard about 嘻哈 doing this and thought we could give it a try here. :-)

Dr-Bob,

Jung discussed the Imago which tops out at 50 personalities... Further info is that Imagos can be nested with overlapping personalities... All this said, I would have to have a montage of lost loves, each with unique lingering memories... I do could this in lieu of suffering the regrets from love lost, reminding me instead of the good times and whatever I might retain...

Kids when they were young, or my partner when she was.

My son's. We are very close and I've always carried a picture of him in my purse, ever since he was small. I don't often look at the picture, but I think I would feel a bit lost without it. Although he's now grown up, he still lives with me, so it's not a question of my needing to use it to remember him by. I think I just like to know that I have some kind of connection with him all the time. Interesting. I wonder if I will stop carrying it when he finally becomes independent and moves out. I somehow doubt it.

LOL I would put your Twitter photo in it because it will remind me of all your tweets. I love reading your tweets. I love it when you communicate.

My favorite dog who died over twenty years ago.

I don't think my son would appreciate my using his photo. Too sentimental.

My locket would have a photo of my dad.
He loved me unconditionally despite his and my imperfections.

Bob,

What does 嘻哈 mean? Google translation says hip-hop.
Is this a Chinese hip-hop website?!? :-)

I wouldnt put any photos. Instead would put in few of my favorite equations.
Sometimes I get so lost and confused around people and within myself that I have to remind myself that no matter what e=mc*2. And my life and nothing around me really doesnt matter and nothing will change wether I live or die.

I'd put a picture of me crossing the finish line from a 10k I did years ago. I would give me inspiration, because I plan to do it next summer.

how is this a poll? and what's a locket?

sorry for this, but the second question is serious.. what is a locket? i thought you meant a locker, because that would make sense with the photo, and the 'T' is right next to the 'R' on the keyboard, but then people repeated 'locket'.. so what is a locket if I may ask?

Locket is a pendant/charm worn on a necklace or a bracelet that opens with a hinge and holds photos or other small memento.

Lol! Thanks interesting responses, everyone. Next:

How often do you eat meat? Why? Do you wish you could eat it more often or would eat it less often? Why?

>How often do you eat meat?

Once a day on average

>Why?

To eat protein.

>Do you wish you could eat it more often or would eat it less often?

Less, much less.
(I'm trying to eat more beans and brown rice.)

>Why?

Because it is associated with so much suffering, if only through factory farming.
It is an appalling thing that has been done to the world in our name.

Almost every day, but not by plan.

Why?

I'm too lazy to prepare more fresh, non-meat meals for myself.

Do you wish you could eat it more often or would eat it less often? Why?

I'd prefer to eat more fruit and vegetables - fresh - but my depressed mental state can be inhibitive. Some days it stops at crackers.

> >How often do you eat meat?

Chicken - once a month or two.
Beef - couple times a year.

> >Why?

I sometimes just taste a bit of it while making it for others. My body feels sluggish and doesn't function properly when I eat a lot of meat. I feel the best eating a little fish or soy products with legumes and grains, and lots of vegetables and fruit.

> >Do you wish you could eat it more often or would eat it less often?

I would prefer to eat none at all.

> >Why?

Can't say it any better than Sigismund -- **Because it is associated with so much suffering, if only through factory farming. It is an appalling thing that has been done to the world in our name.**

"Earthlings" a powerful and heart-breaking documentary has affected how and what I eat. I highly recommend this eye opening film. It's hard to watch, but will move and inform you.


 

correct link for the documentary

The above link automatically takes you to some romance novel.

Here's the correct link if anyone's interested in watching the *Earthlings* documentary.

> How often do you eat meat?

I've been using protein to satiate my appetite and eat less so I've been eating a lot of meat, mostly turkey. I eat red meat maybe once a week.

> Why?

I like the taste of meat and it keeps me full. I've been trying to eat fewer calories.

> Do you wish you could eat it more often or would eat it less often?

After reading more about calorie restriction for life extension, I've discovered that eating moderate protein is the way to go. My goal is to eat less meat.

> Why?

High levels of IGF-I is bad, excess protein increases IGF-I independent of calories and deactivates SIRT1, a gene involved in longevity.

Chicken once a day

Why

protein

More

No can't taste whats the point and all the hormones and antibiotics in meats and yes chickens too horrible for health.

If had taste and smell back would go back to salads with combos of rice, beans, and seafood salad. And raw vegtables and fruits. How I used to eat. Phillipa

I eat chicken or fish or eggs once or twice a week. Red meat less often, perhaps once a month. I am aware that a lot of people around me suffer from poverty and hunger and it feels wrong to be fussy about eating. I try not to exclude anything from my diet - except things like offal which I really can't stomach. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables preferably those that are fresh and in season and not excessively expensive. I like to think my diet is balanced.
