Stupid questions

One of the multiples on my f-list (yes, there are several) decided to answer a really *stupid* (and insulting) meme about folk with multiple personality disorders.

I'm posting the questions here, and then I'm going to try to work up something equally stupid/condescending/etc for those of us who "can't make up our minds" about our gender...

1. "So which one are you being now?"
   
2. "Why are you playing with toys?"
   
3. "So this means you're like Sybil, right?"
   
4. "What's the good one's name and what's the evil one's name?"
   
5. "Can I talk to person x? Can you let such and such out?"
   
6. "So you all like pizza right?"
   
7. "Who's the real one?"
   
8. "Is there a serial killer in there?"
   
9. "Does your body change when people are using it?"
   
10. "Aren't you all just (body name here) pretending to be other people?"
    
11. "Aren't you sure they're all just imaginary friends?"
    
12. "Why did your voice just change?"
    
13. "Who answers the phone, who takes showers and who eats?"
    
14. "Which part of you does the homework?"
    
15. "Do you all talk in a secret language?"
    
16. "Why are you talking to yourself?"
    
17. "Are there really kids in there?"
    
18. "What medications do you take to make them go away?"
    
19. "How long does each one last?"
    
20. "What abuse caused this terrible illness?"
    
21. "Have you asked Jesus to make it better?"
    

I'll accept suggestions for my version (and feel free to make up your iwn version about your own misunderstood qualities/quirks. :-)

The genderqueer/bigendered/whatever version will be what I'm looking for. Might be interesting to try an ageplay version as well.

Not thinking things thru dept

Our new mayor wants Portland to join the cities that have "outlawed" plastic bags. He wants grocery stores and the like to charge 20 cents each for plastic bags to encourage folks to use reusuable or recyclable bags.

The stores say they don't like it and at a minimum want it applied to *all* stores.

And a few folks with *some* sense note that it'll be a hardship for low income people.

I was mostly in that camp until I started thinking on what I'd have to do on a shopping run.

Then it hit me. Even though I have one of those reusable canvas bags, it's not big enough for a typical run to the Albertson's next door. If I add my nylon Doc Martens bag, *maybe*.

Then it hit me. Produce. Bulk foods.

Paper bags *might* work for produce. For bulk foods (rice, beans, lots of other things n bins at places like WinCo, not a chance.

First of all, they don't seal very well. Second, the stores us *clear* plastic bags there for a reason. First is so they don't have to open them and dig thru the contents at the register to make sure you aren't trying to cheat them. And second is because they *can* be sealed (even if only with a twist tie) avoiding spills both when they are at the register (which having to open them to verify contents defeats) and because that means they don't get spilled going around the store either.

And they are used for storing stuff at home quite often as well.

I say they count as *packaging* and unless they want to outlaw or put a surcharge on prepackaged items that come in plastic rather than cardboard they need to seriously rethink this.

We went to plastic bags for some of this stuff for good reasons. At the very least they need to allow for a refund if we turn bags back in.
