Things that make you cry

[VM80]

I don't really cry over movies or suchlike. News etc, same.

I may well up if I listen to a particularly emotional song, or read a moving passage in a book. Still, that's an exception.

Cut the top end (shoots end - not the roots end)off the onions a half an hour or so before you intent to use them. This releases the pressure and does help 'somewhat'.

Chew gum. I haven't tried this yet, but I'm told it's supposed to help.

Is it wierd that I cry while writing emotionally-charged scenes?

Okay, fessing up.

I cry when I see mothers with their children, or families doing stuff together. I want that, someday.

Small dogs also make me cry. Mostly out of fear. Large dogs, on the other hand, I'm cool with. Yes, I know it's irrational.

Some songs like Seasons in the Sun, You are My Sunshine and Silent Night make me cry. Having hope makes me cry sometimes, being reminded how much I love my husband, remembering his proposal to me... those are the things that make me cry. I'm pretty sure there is a looooong list of other stuff, but I'm too hungry to think of any more.

Not to me. I've done it too.

what works best with onions is to keep them in the fridge and cut them immediately after taking them out... being cold seems to keep down the fumes...

wearing glasses also helps a great deal...

A good song can make my cry and doesn't have to have lyrics. A strong instrumental could do it, especially if accompanied by a beautiful scenery! :*)

So does keeping your knife razor sharp. A dull knife produces a sizeable cloud of onion mist, a sharp one releases far less.

I do mine in a food processor... no tears, no fumes. Plus it gets it all nice and finely chopped which is how I like it.

I cut my onion like a man. None of this pansy "protecting my eyes" crap.

[mammamaia]

uh... yeah... and of course, being such 'a man' it never causes you to shed a tear, right? [no, i don't believe in the tooth fairy, either]

[RusticOnion]

Real men eat their onions raw and uncut Gonissa.

[Cogito]

Oh good grief! Real men cry, and aren't afraid to show it.

Your image will survive the shock.

[Gonissa]

Sheesh, can't nobody take a joke? There's a smilie in the post...

Oh, and I'm a girl.

The Day They Gave Babies Away, staring Glynis Johns; they wasn't a dry eye in the house.

Real writers don't need smilies.

This just makes me wanna cry.

Johnny Got His Gun ~ Dalton Trumbo

I weeped, I fell into depression, and it is still regarded in my mind as perhaps one of the best literary works of all time.

You make me wanna cry. Waaaaaaaah.

Just watched the film "Warrior", with Tom Hardy and Joel Edgerton, that brought a tear to my eye.

Frustration. Sad things can make me cry, but not nearly as much as frustration. I hate giving my all on something and simply coming to no avail. Frustration when it comes to objects doesn't really have that effect on me, like fixing a tire & failing at it. It's mostly when it comes to people. In an argument, they just seem on a completely different planet & I'll just feel like I'm about to explode or something.
