Reader Polls

Want to see what readers have thought?  Retired polls will hang out here.  And so will my thoughts about them.

Okay, then.  I'll take this to heart.  When I hear about readers' encounters with freaks (aka bad dates), I'll be sure to pass them along.  Don't worry, though!  They'll still mostly be mine.  I promise.

I can't decide if I'm surprised at this outcome.  For me, the lack of reading and working are most egregious.  But maybe living with an ex-wife is worse?  I mean, I certainly don't want someone living with an ex, but I guess I can imagine a scenario in which that might be necessary.  Mind you, that's not the scenario that prompted this question, but I can imagine a time and place when that might be necessary.  I have a hard time imagining the lack of reading, though.  I'm pretty sure I'd read three books before I was 5 years old.  And never having a job?  Well, that's just plain lazy.  I had a boyfriend in college who'd never worked - and he never did until he graduated from medical school.  That wasn't cool then.  It's still not cool now.
