| 41 | That's the point (I think) - haha! | Getting the job done. |
| 42 | It's coming together! A few more correct votes will make the statement! | Getting the job done. |
| 43 | Significantly different - societal life would have progressed much more slowly. | How different would our lives be now if we had never known of other celestial objects? |
| 44 | My mother had a bout with a rare cancer early this year. Her stamina, determination and restraint to "make a big deal of it" was amazing. I went to every last doctor's appointment, radiology treatment and Chemotherapy hook-up with her, everyday.
She was the most inspiring human being, dealing with all her pain and discomfort, but not allowing me (or my sisters) to believe anything but how she would be over and done with it in the six weeks of treatments. "Me Mo" has always been my inspiration in life. She ROCKS! | If you care to participate, select one or more subjects from the following list, then tell your inspiring story about it.

| 45 | Yeah - I gotchya. Better to wait for a survey that comes right out and asks you to share such an experience. | If you care to participate, select one or more subjects from the following list, then tell your inspiring story about it. Otherwise, read about your fellow SC members' accounts. |
| 46 | My answer to the latest question is: "I've been known to - on occasion."
My question for the next person is: "Why do you hit yourself?" | Blindly answer the question that has been presented by the person before you. |
| 47 | [ (Still leaving your question open for the next "blind answer", of course...) This turned out a little better than I expected. Eight of the eleven "blind answers" turned out to tie to the question before it, I think - humorously, even! I want to ask if you received my email today, but I am reluctant to end this with a question mark, saving the integrity of the survey. Haha. ] | Blindly answer the question that has been presented by the person before you. |
| 48 | { Oh! Guess I should check my email before asking if you saw it! I'll check it now! (And, yes - I like the way you added your response before my own comment! Going right in with the theme of this particular survey!) } | Blindly answer the question that has been presented by the person before you. |
| 49 | Wow! You made the most of these questions! Great answers! I chuckled at the "lying to the physician" thing. I think I'll try to contribute like you have.

| 50 | Number (09): Frightened a child.
My sister and her two kids (one year old and two) were living with my wife and me in our home when I was married and stationed in Florida. It was close to Halloween, and we were preparing for a Halloween party that was being held at our house - one that ultimately would go down in infamy. In our preparations, we had concocted a "dummy" of sorts in the bathtub. It really was just a set of clothes (an Air Force uniform), stuffed with more clothes, positioned in the bathtub, to look like a man. We poured ketchup all around the slump "body", making it look like a murder victim. It was a real "freaker-outter" for people who used this bathroom during the party, where we had taken out the light bulbs so the light couldn't be turned on. It was a fun prank. During the day, as we made other preparations, my nephew was freaked by the dummy in the tub. He would tell my sister (his mom) he didn't want to go in there, but he had to go to the bathroom "bad". My sister just continued working - trimming black and orange streamers - and said to her two-year-old son, "Brian, just go to the bathroom, it's not really a dead man, you know that." After much protest, he couldn't hold it any longer. Poor Brian was (and is) a very private person, so he had to shut the bathroom door behind himself. With just himself and this freaky form of a body in the bathtub, he caved in and shut the door. When the moment was perfectly right, my sister screamed at the top of her lungs: "BRIAN! IT REALLY IS A DEAD MAN IN THERE! AAAAAAAAAH!" My poor two-year-old nephew came running out to the living room where we were, with a look of sheer panic on his face. He tripped over his pants - because they were still down around his ankles. He was crying, the poor kid. We couldn't help laughing, though. It was a sight - this very private, freaked-out kid, pants around his ankles, face down, screaming in sheer terror about the "dead man" he feared in the bathroom with him.
