OK, now that I'm fully awake I'll start us off...

Who's your favorite cartoon character?

What color is your bathroom?

Do you remember your first kiss?

If you could be any character in history, who would you be and why?

Oreos - do you eat the middle first or just take a bite?

If you could be queen for a day, what would you command?

That's all.

For now.

Do you work?
define work. I occasionaly get paid a professional fee, sometimes I simply get the undying gratitude of people and other times I get rewarded with a mess I have to clean up, everyone works. so do you mean am I employed?

What do you do there? everything. I am self employed.


What's your favourite sport? foreplay? oops wordplay.

Sports team? the betrayal of the brooklyn dodgers made me never love a team again

If you were dropped at the North Pole and could only bring one thing, what would that be? a very large warm manned and furnished jet with a full tank.

If someone gave you a gnome for a gift, what would you do? giggle

Do you like wine? yes i like wine, unfortunarely it causes me to flush and i must avoid it. I can guzzle tequila however with no ill effects.

How much? about $120 a bottle.


What's your favourite restaurant? wow... I am new here and have not eaten out much.... so I will say oceana in NYC or the tearoom at Takashimaya.

Do you always obey the speed limit when you're driving? hahahahaha oh yes officer.

What about when you're riding? then I am even harder to handle. Thanks for asking.

Maccaroni & Cheese or Pizza?

def the mac and cheese, very very cheesie

Most embaressing moment?

a family friendly one is when I was working in a posh department store. went to the ladies room and came back two floors down to my department. A co-worker told me my dress in back was caught in the waistline of my pantihose. there is a worse one but it's not for family consumption


Bubble bath or Shower? bubble in fact a whirlpool is a my daily indulgence. but I am very picky about scents and only use essential oils or kniepp.

What toothpaste do you use? Colgate whitening tartar control regular taste.

What is your favorite thing about being owned by a kitty?

Have you ever been convicted of a felony?
I have probably violated some sodomy laws in different states but never caught or convicted.


If you could have dinner with anyone, who would it be? Oh wow.... myself obviously and my husband and I think Bill and Hillary Clinton would be a hoot at a dinner party and I would like to meet Bette Midler.

What is your favourite clothes shop? On line I like Soft Surroundings. For grown up clothing I like Talbots. I sew most of my casual clothing.

Do you like reality TV? Project Runway has me totally hooked and on a few occasions I am loathe to admit I have watched the fear factor until the bug part starts. Why do al the girls they choose have breast implants?

Didn't there used to be a limit on the number of questions you could ask? Am I all THAT dull?

Not at all !!! I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your responses and the questions. Some people just are not as creative with the questions. (Like me)......

Hello! I have lived in Oregon my entire life and Portland is one of my favorite cities!

3. Have you spent much time at the coast? (I currently live in Newport.)

4. Have you been to the Portland Saturday market?

Thanks, and welcome to Oregon!

I love questions. I am married at an attorney and get cross examined all the time.


Would you prefer to live somewhere urban or countryside?
close in to the city action but far enough away to avoid the noise and have trees. I live only 15 minutes from downtown portland but it feels like I am in the country.

How does Abigail wake you in the morning?
She never does. She is very very quiet and just sits and stares at me. or maybe i sleep like the dead.


What was the name of your favourite teacher in school and why?
my thirid grade teacher Mrs, Yohay. She was pregnant, wore impeccable makeup, had long red nails, and gave me playdough once after I had been sick with the flu.

What is your biggest phobia?
without a single doubt in the world.... poisonous snakes. of which there are NONE in western oregon.

What was the last song you listened to?
Music: Shostokovich on the radio this morning NPR. or song with word: alveinu malcheinu last night at synagogue.


What other names do you call Abigail?
Abs, Abi Dabbie, crazy cat, sweetie, honey, madam, Miss Abigail.

What makes you laugh?
Many things make me laugh. I love to laugh and do it easily. However I dont generally laugh at other's misfortune, pratfalls or embarassing moments.

What was the most important thing your mother/father taught you?
Mother: books are one's best friends, always wear clean underwear in case you are in accident. When a crisis hits get a manicure- then you will at least have ten perfect nails.
Dad: work hard and keep your nails clean and always fit some fun into every day, wear bright colors and most importantly that I am worth being adored.

Do you believe in an afterlife?

hmmmm. this one is tricky. not in heaven per se and not exactly in reincarnation but something happens; I don't think this is all there is for us.

How long does it take for you to get ready in the mornings?
ready for what? hahahahahaha


If you could only eat 1 food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
potatoes au gratin? i just know it would be horrible to be relegated to one food.

If you were to work for a charity organisation - which one would it be & why.
something that helps families be stronger, something that relieves suffering and gives people the ability to cope more effectively.

how can one not like it, you could get lost for weeks there.

2. Do you like beer? If so, what do you think of our local micro-brews? Such as Rogue and Deschuttes? I like widmer Hefenveizen- can't even spell it.

3. Have you spent much time at the coast? (I currently live in Newport.)
lucky you. I have been to newport and yachats and cannon beach. It's paradise.

4. Have you been to the Portland Saturday market? oh my yes. and the one behind wilson high school and the wednesday market on the park streets. This city is the most wonderful place I have ever lived and I feel reborn. berries, mushrooms, line caught salmon. It's a foodies paradise isn't it and I adore cooking.

Do you have a favorite Vietnamese place to eat? I am three blocks from a Thai Orchid.

Do you like onions?
cooked not raw. I love french oniopn soup

What kind of books do you like?
good ones. Right now I am reading a spy novel by a guy named Furst.

Favorite magazine?
Real Simple, Threads, and yes Martha Stewart Living

Which is the better rock band: Metallica or Guns and Roses?
I must confess I couldn't tell one from the other.

Who do you think will be the next President of the USA?
I pray it's a sensible and tolerant person who will get us away from war and self rightousness and pull us closer to America should stand for: opportunity, tolerance, freedom and being a light onto the world.

Why do you think our society is so full of evil people?
I don't think society is filled with so many evil people. I think many people are deeply hurt and frightened and they frequently act very badly out of those feelings. I believe in love and compassion and the power of their healing. Acts can be evil but there are good and bad impulses in us all and one of our chores in life is to keep reaching, reaching , reaching for the good. I am hopeful that people can change and even though some never choose to do it, I never give up hoping that they will see there is a better way to live than in hurt and despair.
