Last month, on May 15, I copied a list of 25 questions I had picked out of a list of 75 questions. I had found the list in my desk, not knowing where it came from. Since I had several comments about how interesting those questions were, I decided to pick out 25 more and use them for this week’s article.
Maybe you can find something interesting from these 25 questions this time. I think the general idea of these questions is to get to know someone better. (I had to change two to make them fit here.)
