Why is honesty seen as a good quality, but when applied it’s seen as a negative quality? When someone has asked for your opinion on something, but they only want you to tell them what they want to hear. For example,
PERSON REQUESTING MY OPINION - “I have decided we will all back each other up by everyone doing each other's jobs in addition to your own. Is this a good idea?”
ME - “Not really, no. It’s a terrible idea.”
And yet I get in so much trouble for that. If you don’t want my opinion, why did you ask me in the first place?
Where are my keys?
What happened to Katrina from the 80s one-hit-wonder pop group Katrina and the Waves? Did she go out on her own under a different name? Is she part of a group that is now quite popular, like Pussycat Dolls and performing under a pseudonym due to confusion with an infamous hurricane? Is she a backup singer for another 80s attraction like Pat Benatar or Ratt, or perhaps performing with the Go-Gos to replace Belinda Carlisle?
Why are my allergies going haywire if I am taking two different allergy meds that worked when I was living in Hawaii? Is there something in the house? I just cleaned so it cannot be the kitties…or can it? Am I allergic to domesticity?
Is there any culture in the world that does not cook with garlic or onions?
Why was “Pop-Up-Video” canceled? I loved that show and so did everyone I’ve ever asked this question to. That has been a LOT of people, by the way.
Why do contractors charge $75 to run a cable three feet, but charge the exact same amount to run it 25 feet? The cable only costs $50 a spool.
Will the latest American Idol winner David Cook be as big a star or bigger than Carrie Underwood? (She was just inducted into the The Grand Ole Opry, though she's only been on the music scene for, like, two years!) Or will he fall victim to the machine that is Fox and the American Idol Corporation?
Why can't my body burn fat at the rate it makes snot? (I think most allergy-sufferers will agree with me on this one.)
Why do so many people like to use ’S for plural when there is no apostrophe needed? You are not showing possession, you just want to show there is more than one. It is plural; this means you only need to us an S. Who started this trend and where might I find them so I may beat them senseless?
Where the hell are my damn keys? I was just holding them in my hobbit hand....

Why do they call a wee down payment of a house “earnest money” when the money doesn’t go to the seller if the buyer backs out? What is earnest about that? It’s not very earnest to plunk down $4000 to prove you are serious about this house, only to grab the check back as you run out of the room yelling, “Sike!”
Is it ironic that our cat with a nubbin/cottontail likes to eat the rabbit's alfalfa grass?
Why is it socially acceptable for a man to be bald, but a woman with thinning hair is considered a pariah? It’s not like anyone decides to lose their hair and can grow it back in a few weeks. And for that matter, if men can wear crappy toupees, shouldn’t women have at least a similar option, if not something better? (Wigs tend to be heavy and hot – toupees, on the other hand, are lighter and provide good ventilation when the wind picks them up.)
Does anyone else think that Patrick Cox (the large bearded man advertising Tax Masters, often seen on CNN) is an adult version of Cartman from “South Park?” He seems like a nice fellow, in any case.

Why do my cats, after spending their first few years outside on the streets of Honolulu and coming from a state where there are very few thunderstorms, not freak out with the thunder and lightening that is the Midwest in the summertime, but run like hell when I shake out a plastic bag?
Where are my damn keys?! I just had them...wait, here they are. What are they doing in my purse?! Where is my cell phone? WHY CAN'T I GO TO THE STORE LIKE A NORMAL PERSON?

Will I ever stop sneezing/being stopped up?
What should I make for dinner?

Good Lord girl, here are some of the answers.
Katrina probably got fat and a family or died of a drug overdose.
Your allergies are not responding to the same meds because different histamines are being triggered. You've moved to a new environment and your body must adjust.
Pop Up Video got old after you'd seen it a lot and were not under the influence and reality shows got more popular.
Earnest money, as defined by Black's Law Dictionary: earnest money. A deposit paid (often in escrow) by a prospective buyer (esp. of real estate) to show a good-faith intention to complete the transaction, and ordinarily forfeited if the buyer defaults. • Although earnest money has traditionally been a nominal sum (such as a nickel or a dollar) used in the sale of goods, it is not a mere token in the real-estate context: it may amount to many thousands of dollars. -- Also termed earnest; bargain money; caution money; hand money. Cf. BINDER (2); down payment under PAYMENT. [Cases: Vendor and Purchaser Key Number graphic69.1, 182. C.J.S. Vendor and Purchaser §§ 135, 137-138, 425.]
"The amount of earnest money deposited rarely exceeds 10 percent of the purchase price, and its primary purpose is to serve as a source of payment of damages should the buyer default. Earnest money is not essential to make a purchase agreement binding if the buyer's and seller's exchange of mutual promises of performance (that is, the buyer's promise to purchase and the seller's promise to sell at a specified price and terms) constitutes the consideration for the contract." John W. Reilly, The Language of Real Estate 131 (4th ed. 1993).
I don't remember the rest of your questions but your keys are always hard for you to find and you can't go to the grocery store like a normal person because you are not normal, which is almost always a good thing.
