What do you think are inappropriate questions to ask a close or relatively close friend? I specify close friend or relatively close because the boundaries can be blurred because we consider them close.

Some examples I can think of are:
Are you/When are you planning to have a baby?
What marriage issues do you have?
What is your salary?
How much money do you have?
What medications are you taking?

I believe the above information should be volunteered first.

What questions do you consider too intrusive?

Any that doesn't talk about the Lord, a good comeback is "why do you ask?"

Any question that I wouldn't want them to ask me, unless it's something I really NEED to know... like "What medications are you taking?" when I'm about to be putting all their pills in a little weekly container from now.

If it's information I wouldn't want to give them, I probably shouldn't ask them for it unless there's a good reason.

I think the system is having a posting glitch.
I've seen several threads with the same post posting 2; 3; one even had it posted 4 times.

I've been having heaps of errors occur indicating to try to post again later, and then some minutes after, finding that some of the posts have actually been made.

Same. But, we may be comfortable giving out information (like salary) but the other person may not be.
