I am evenly divided on this, depends on the situation.

When I am at work I don't have time for personal calls, things are usually on the hectic side and my work is often very detailed. I cannot afford the mental interruptions from calls much of the time. I prefer texting when at work, as I am able to reply when I have a moment to break concentration. I have the text there on the phone and can respond when the time is appropriate.

I prefer conversation to texting for some situations as tone of voice is critical to understanding and when something is of a touchy or serious nature I want to talk in person so I can read facial expressions as well. It is best to be seeing what is in the eyes in those situations.

I confess I am a social media addict, using Text, Twitter, Facebook and Foursquare often to the extremes. My email also comes across my cell phone so I am 'connected' all around.

All that said, I don't do these things and drive!!! If the car is in motion the phone is NOT in my hand.

OMG there is NO hesitation here at all for me, CHOCOLATE! I LOVE chocolate, it is a definite vice in life for me...as is anything that is chocolate.

M&Ms, plain, peanut or the best, almond, are YUMMY! I love to eat them one at a time, letting them melt slowly on my tongue.

Mounds bars, oh baby those are SO good. Not a huge fan of coconut but wrap it in DARK CHOCOLATE and I love it! Best, like the M&Ms, if served cold and eaten in small bites, savoring every bit!

Snow Caps, possibly the single best movie theater treat, in a king size box that costs damn near the price of the ticket, but hey, once in a while we all deserve to indulge ourselves, right?

PMS attack? Approach with EXTREME caution, bringing a chocolate brownie with dark chocolate icing, a scoop of vanilla (only good when paired with chocolate or pie) ice cream, drizzle DARK chocolate syrup over it and sprinkle on some pecans, place it in front of me with a spoon and retreat. I'll allow you to live through the demon bitch from hell day that I have during my monthly PMS flair up for being wise enough to make such a splendid, decadent offering in order to be spared certain hell from me. There was a time (no longer applicable) when, if I was not PMSing, and you placed that in front of me, it might even result in you receiving sympathy sex.

Getting the idea I LOVE chocolate? Dark chocolate is tops.

Need my help? Offer me chocolate (beer or wine with it influences my decision).

Need forgiveness from me? Bring chocolate, we'll share and make up.

Want to impress me? Chocolate is the means.

Want to thank me for helping out? Yep, chocolate.

Enough said.

Lying
I hate being lied too, even small ones. I caught my ex-husband of just under 22 years in a few big ones though he prides himself on his supposed integrity. I'm a big girl, I can handle the truth. If you have to lie I'm done with you.

Cheating
There is NO reason in my book for cheating. If our relationship is lacking something speak the hell up and tell me and give me a chance to fix it. If you cannot handle who I am, then grow a pair and end the relationship but I will never be cheated on and forgive again.

Cheaters
If you are still legally married, all bets are off. I do not care if you are separated legally, you still have issues to contend with in that relationship and in my opinion have no business starting a new one. Once that one is ended and you've had some time to get passed it, we'll talk.

Youth
Yes, some young guys are mature and fun to hang out with sometimes, but I'm not looking to date anyone young enough that I could have given birth to them. If you are the same age as my kids, give it up, no deal. I want someone I have something in common with and that tends to be men my own age.

If a great weekend involves excessive drinking, puking in the bushes and foggy memories that require pictures to piece the events together, move on.

I am not looking for the guy who can go for hours, I'm looking for the man who knows how to treat a woman and doesn't need to be taught his way around the sheets. If your resume in bed is "I don't need a blue pill and I can f*ck you for hours* then you have NO clue how to please a woman. Go home and play with your legos little boy, I'm not a blow up doll. I'm looking for a man.

Your Mama
A guy that treats his mama badly is a lousy choice. How you treat the woman who raised you tells me everything I need to know about how you will treat me. Same goes for your sisters. If the women in your family are not treated with respect, you won't treat me with it either, so hit the road.
