My Question of the Day: Two of your very best friends marry each other, and they spend several years together. Although you’ve known one friend longer than you’ve known the other, at this point you’re very close to them both fairly equally. One day, they tell you they’re getting divorced. As a very good friend to both individuals, how do you handle your friendship with each of them?

My Question of the Day: Thinking strictly in non-intimate/non-sexual/friendship-only terms, do you prefer to hang out/spend time with individuals of your own gender or individuals of the opposite gender or both equally?

My 2 Cents: While I’m trying to become more comfortable hanging out with women, I’ve always been most comfortable hanging out with men.

I’ve been a tomboy for as long as I can remember, so most of my friends have always been guys.

There just seems to be a lot less drama when I hang out with guys. Women, even those who consider themselves good friends, seem to keep nonsense going. I just have zero tolerance for silliness.

I know all women don’t do this, and last December I was with a group of women who were totally cool and awesome to be around, but that hasn’t always been the case.

My Question of the Day: You know someone on whom you can count through thick and thin, but he/she has one character flaw that you find absolutely annoying. He/she always exaggerates the truth. The tales are so far-fetched that you believe no other reasonable person would believe what he/she is saying, but this person seems absolutely convinced that what he/she is telling you is the truth. Despite that one, very annoying flaw, however, this person has never failed to be around when you needed someone in good times and in bad times. Is this a person you keep in your life?

My 2 Cents: I abhor when people exaggerate the truth. It’s usually not necessary and adds no value to the conversation at hand.

If this is someone on whom I can totally depend, this is definitely a person I would keep in my life, as long as he/she doesn’t have a problem with me saying, “I don’t believe you,” when I think he/she is embellishing the facts. If he/she can handle that, I can deal with the tall tales.

My Question of the Day: When you are at home, you’re in the habit of leaving loose bills and change on a small table near the door where you put your mail. It’s never more than a few dollars and a few coins, and you live alone.

One day a friend comes by to visit. You all decide to go out shopping, and you all are getting ready to leave the house. As you approach the door, you realize you’ve forgotten your cellphone in your bedroom, and you tell your friend you’ll be right back and to wait by the front door.

You get your phone and head back. As you’re approaching your friend from the bedroom, you see him/her scoop up the bills and change and put them in his/her pocket.

What do you do?
