I'd aim for the 'ugly outside, beautiful inside'. It's best to have a harmonious relationship for your own well being and happiness. Would you rather a 3 course meal at $150+ (you're paying ) in a Michelin star restaurant or a BBQ with some good friends, copious amounts of drink and sunshine?

Oh definitely BBQ - I've been to the fancy restaurants and they frown on you using your fingers, throwing food around, and asking for fries. Okay ... so you've found your absolute singularly perfect soulmate in the world. When I say perfect, I mean perfection in every category that you both deem important in a relationship. This is the person that you would not hesitate in spending the rest of eternity with. Of course, FATE is fickle and sometimes a complete bastard, and several years into your relationship, some event causes you and your soulmate to be split apart. There seems zero chance at all to resolve the separation. FIFTEEN years later you've mostly accepted your hand in life, found someone else that you want to share your life with, married, had a couple of kids and are for the most part content in life. Out of the blue, your soulmate contacts you. Nothing more than a "Hi, I'm in town, want a coffee" email. Do you either ... Delete or otherwise reply negatively to the email and focus on your life today (family, partner, happiness, etc), OR do you agree to meet this person from your past, possibly jeopardizing everything that you have today for another chance at perfection? Additional information. Yes, your feelings for the soulmate have not diminished - you had just smothered them to get on with your life. Yes, there is a distinct possibility that contact with your soulmate would reignite the raw magnetism that you and that person had. Yes, the cause of the separation has long since passed being a factor. No, your current partner would not be understanding as you had shared your past with them so they would know what this other person would mean to you - ie, they wouldn't say "sure, go have a coffee with the person for whom in your eyes the whole galaxy revolves around" HOw is that - going from asking for fries at a fancy restaurant to questions of eternal peace or happiness

If your current partner is so paranoid and doubting that you'd keep your fidelity to them is it actually love? Also who said soulmates have to be lovers? I'd go to see the soulmate. Life is about your own happiness and nobody can give you that. If you're truely close with your partner, they'd know about the soulmate and would respect that you wanted to see them after all these years. Part of The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel pops to mind. Would you rather have a music career (any genre) with sold out arenas or be a major figure in politics? That's either or, no politicians with mind blowing music careers too

Politics, hands down.
Although politics suck, it's really because politicians suck immensely. There are so many things truly broken and poorly prioritized in the US and all over the world, it'd be a really neat challenge to work in that whole den of serpents, and actually get important and helpful stuff done.
That, and prove that not every politician is a self-serving scumsucking, bottom-feeding muck-dweller.
Besides as a powerful politician, you can meet any singer you want.
Okay: would you rather have a super power of shape-changing or teleportation?

Oh shape-changing, I so want to be a dolphin, or a bird, or a whale, not permanently mind you, just to see what it's like.
Would you rather: Lick a 9-volt battery for a few minutes, or suck the juice out of a lemon?

Lemons. I can drink fresh (sour) lemon juice with ease. I've stunned and discusted people by drinking lemon juice with a short mixed in, mmmmmmmm....... You're in a bar do you have nuts or chips (crisps to us brits). I will allow a secondary part of good/nice nibbles you have in your local

Hell no - I'm captain paranoid when it comes to bar nuts - especially those offered right outside the mens toilets!
Would you rather have the superpower of invisibility - or freezing time?

Freezing time, much like a bow-tie, is cool (pun intended)!
Speaking of time, would you rather travel through time via a Tardis (Dr. Who), DeLorean (Back to the Future), phone booth (Bill & Ted), or other (please specify)?

Hmmmm.......I'm in a bit of a quandary. The Tardis is awesome and can travel in time and space, but I quite like The Time Traveler's Wife where the guy just kinda pops into another time. I'll go with the second
Would you rather have the ability to heal grievous bodily wounds (eg bullets & stabbing) but can't regrow limbs and being pancaked is still fatal or have an iron stomach, curries don't affect you even come the morning, toxins,poisons and viruses/bacteria consumed wouldn't affect you. You'd still catch colds and absorb stuff through the skin, blood, etc.

Definitely the grievous bodily wounds protection. Useful when you're doing stupid things (regular occurrence with me).
Would you rather a very high paying job, but have to work 60+ hours per week ... or a low paying job, but 4 days of weekend per week. Note, the low paying job will just be enough to cover your usual expenses but not give you any real chance to save for the longer term.

Higher paying and 60 hours a week. Its my current job dude . So many reasons why: Long term savings, ability to spend money on things that I like (Trese Brothers Kickstarter?), 60 hours a week does NOT mean you don't get weekends, just got to work like a demon Monday-Friday. Hell, I still have time to write, between meetings and such. Besides ... I'd get bored doing nothing constructive. Would you choose a dog or a cat as a pet? Size, breed, personality are all yours to choose. rabid

Cat. I have a natural affinity for them. I also have trouble getting over the stereotype of big, bouncy, slobbering, 'dumb' dogs. Cats also don't need walking.
Snow or Sun?

Hey all - please give us a reason why you'd choose a particular option - it makes things more interesting that way. I'd go Snow - for several reasons. First, I haven't been skiing on a mountain since the one I visited regularly decided to erupt (that was mid-90's ), but I looove skiing and winter activities. Secondly, you are always able to add more clothes if you are cold, but if you're hot, you can only shed so much before you're stark nekkid ... never a good look if you are on public transport playing a TB game. Would you rather wake up each day at 4am and go to sleep at 8pm, or wake up each day at 10am and go to sleep at 2am?

Cool thanks Yurak.
Hmmm ... definitely Brunettes ... I don't know why, but I find Brunettes so much more attractive than most other colored hair. It's not what ultimately holds my attention, but first impressions are - Brunette over Blonde, or Red Haired.
Coffee or Tea?
