I wrote a few plays that the school or class put on. The teachers thought I was brilliant,but they usually started with some idea I got from reading in a book, so not really that dayum brilliant.
I just threw together words creatively.
Have you ever broken up with someone because you didn't like their family or close friends?

OMG Ms.P Ouch indeed!
I was picking apples for some extra cash one autumn and was on the ladder cozied up into the branches, but apparently not cozy enough cuz my ladder started falling backwards while I was reaching out to twist off a ripe McIntosh. Safety rules said 'Hang on to your ladder, go down with it' but my ladder was headed downhill towards a tractor and I did not want to be the meat in that sandwich. Leaped off, caught my foot, twisted it, OUCH. Pretty much the end of my fruit picking career.

Nope. Not that I remember. Ouch indeed to both of you!
Have you ever thought you were brave enough to do something and decided not to at the last minute?

Never even considered myself brave.... just put on a bold front. I do tend to take mad head staggers, though. My bestie didn't believe I have inflatable canoes... he backed down when I offered him the use of the single seater.
Have you ever considered going vegan even though farmland is destroying the planet? Catch 22.... chop down forests n put up shit like sugar palm Consider this... nice wee series of family flicks called Madagascar. That is an island which is the only place lemurs exist. The deforestation for sugar palm has driven them close to extinction. Other wild life such as snakes are on the verge too. Tell that to likes of PETA.

I was vegan for about 4 years,strict vegetarian 7.
Mainly plant foods, but make "allowances" at times. Can you really trust someone who will NEVER eat a cheeseburger?

Had to growing up. Cheeseburgers aren't kosher.... no shell fish, pig, or mixing meat and dairy are the main rules you must not do. My parents kept strictly kosher, so no cheeseburgers for me or my family until we were adults and made our own decisions. Only my oldest brother stayed observant, but that's another story.
And actually, my parents were wise and only kept kosher in the home, not outside of it. So we could eat out at restaurants and friends houses since no one else I knew kept kosher, ever, except my oldest brother. But still, we never dared order a cheeseburger in front of my father growing up.
Once at a family reunion here in my parents' home, my daughter at about age 12 had the cheek at a family bbq to sneak the cheese from my parents' fridge upstairs to her cousins downstairs so they could turn hamburgers into cheeseburgers. My parents nor I never knew until she told me years later and made me giggle at the thought.
So, yes to the question, though I know it was sarcastic.
Have you ever ignored, rebelled, or otherwise not honoured as an adult basic core beliefs or behaviours you were raised with as a child?

I'm going to double post and answer my own question. And warning it's very blunt.
But yes. I rebelled completely and thankfully was living in a country when my two sons were born not the USA. I will never ever condone or support or in any way understand, except for medical reasons, the barbaric practice of male circumcision. I know it's a Jewish must, but no way would I ever do that to my sons, no matter how much it's breaking a religious code.
There is no way any religion is going to tell me what body part any human can do without. To me it's a form of human sacrifice to the Gods (or just one God) that is man made up for no good reason but to try and control the masses by the few.
Same question. Sorry to get preachy.

I didnt circumcise my son either but not because of rebellion. Its just doesnt make sense and I figured its not so radical that he couldnt do it later if he wanted to.
To answer your question.It was in my nature to rebel against people or institutions telling me no because I was female.

My first husband was not circumcised. Family was from some vague congregationalist religion, no specific doctrine that I could make out. My second husband, well that remains to be seen. hahahahah
I was raised as a Swedish Lutheran, Not a whole lot of onerous stuff for us to rebel against. A thinly disguised pagan nature religion it was.
I just in general don't like people telling me what to do. Has nothing to do with religion.
Willow, don't apologize, Take it up with your rabbi~ Maybe he thinks it is an outdated practice as well.
New Q~ Do you find yourself acting more and more like your Mom/Dad as you get older, hear your words echoing theirs on occasion? Is it weird? Or is it 'they were soooo smart!' LOL

I am horrified at seeing the worst of my parents playing out through me. Fortunately it's balanced with the best of them too.
Have you ever rescued a pet and realized it was more damaged than you could handle?

I have fostered an old dog with a lot of health & anxiety issues but I kept her for 7 1/2 years until she died. The rescue paid for her anxiety meds/Rx when needed & food,so it was possible for me to keep her. The last 2 years it was very hard and I eventually got caretakers exhaustion.
If she had not had the anxiety meds paid for.I could not have kept her.She had been a breed dog in a cage and at the old age of 10 she had non viable pups in her.
It was very difficult at times.
Lily & I took in a foster a couple of years ago and Lilys *bitch azz* tried to attck the poor guy.For his poor sake I had to tell them to come get him asap.

No. On a similar note have you ever taken in a *human animal* and realized s/he was much more damaged than you could handle?
