Bloody Hell people answer the Question!

Now I love you all.....well I'm exaggerating I love most of you but, I have to say I have often wondered how some of you ever managed to get a pass on any exams not because of intelligence but because of an inability to answer the question.

The key is to read the question digest it, read it again and then ANSWER THE QUESTION not your definition of what you think is being asked. 

Simplest eg:

Q: How many people have a Labrador? What colour is it? What kind of temperament does it have?

The answer should be

A: I do I have a chocolate one blah blah or yes i do i have a black one etc

What you are likely to get on here

A: I've got a border collie he's 5 yrs old he's absolutely blah blah

A: I've got a ginger tom cat blah blah

What is that all about? if you went into an exam and answered like that you would most definitely fail it!

Is it just a want to take part?

do you actually believe that it is relevant to the question?

or is it something else?

Yes.

Sometimes.

No.

I don't know how to answer this question, but it made me laugh out loud because it's so true.

I hate watermelon.  I love the taste of it but you can never tell if the melon is ripe before you cut into it.  Buying the things are a real crap shoot.

I wonder why you chose the example of a dog. I think that says ALOT about you!!! Probably more than we wanted to, you know this is a public forum.

 My grandma always taught me, buy the melons with brown stems. That means it ripened on the vine and not on the counter.

And Andie, I belive the answer to your question is "I have a Lhasa Apso, he's 3 years old, he absolutely gorgeous, he does need a bath rather badly though, I think I better wrestle him down and give him a shower tomorrow, while I'm at it I should go to the store and buy him another bag of dog food, he's running out, blah, blah, blah..."

;P

I have two kitten, 6 months old, they run around the house like they were on fire.

And the answer to all questions is 42.

I like Turtles.

<Q: How many people have a Labrador? What colour is it? What kind of temperament does it have?>

Is it just me, or does the first question ask for a quantifiable numerical answer?  (How many people have a Labrador?) 

My guess: 7.

I have two cats, both old and cranky.  Neither of them like chocolate.  And my research has indicated spoiled candy has the right answer.

 Well, I guess it's a good thing these are free access public forums and not structured classroom exams for course credit.

Or are they?  I guess I just failed...

You have to be kidding, andie? Don't you understand that conversations don't stick to a topic? They flow and change. 

This isn't an exam, it's a conversation.

I have four cats. One of them is really silly. She pounces and kills bugs, but she doesn't know what to do with them afterwards. Like, she'll put the pounced bug in her mouth but if it moves, she spits it out.  

My neighbor is getting one. I'm allergic to walking dogs.

Hey, get back to vacationing...... 

Oh and..

I just like to take part.

I am rarely relevant.

Things are always more then they seem...  have you never watched xfiles?

So you're okay with sitting dogs?

I'm okay with sitting on dogs so long as nobody reports me to PETA.

PETA would probably be fine with it as long as you were naked.

being naked whist eating a dog filled pita is not unlawful.

I saw a 2 week old poopiepom this morning (is that what you call a half Pom, half toy poodle?). The man will be selling the pups for $450 each. Seems like a lot of money for something that's gonna poop on your rug for a time.

Then again, my kids did that and they cost a whole lot more.

Yes, I just compared kids to dogs. Or is that vice versa?

What was the question again?

Well Andie,you did sort of ask for all of the above.......

By the way, I love flowers, rainbows are beautiful &
strawberry jelly is really cool

I agree.  You did ask for it.  You have poopypoms on this thread and Camus on the other one.  Whaddya want from us?

 Peta has a problem.  They have no idea what kind of barbecue sauce to use with what breed of dog.
