So far it's going well. I took the three kittens in to the vet this morning to be spayed/neutered. I was thinking maybe I could get some computer work done without all the extra helpers. However, the TCS site seems to be running exceptionally slowly today, so I hope this goes through.

1.- Which one is the most crazy thing that you have ever done???? ( I mean for example, Jump in parachute, Take a Snake live, Jump in Bungee etc)
I'm kind of a chicken. I try not to do crazy things. The only example I can think of was when I was in college a friend and I did some rock climbing (bouldering) in Arches National Park with no preparation. The rock was there, so we climbed it. It wasn't until we got to the top that we realized it's much harder to get down than up.

2.- Do you have indoor plants at home?
Not any more. If you take a look here you'll see that my kittens decided there are better uses for my flower pots.

3.- If you can travel in time and to meet to some historical person WHO would it be and Tell us why?...
Ghandi. I like his philosophy of bringing peace to the world by peaceful means instead of stomping all over people and saying, "Now sit down and shut up, you're at peace."

4.- If you have the money power to move to some part of the world ( of course with your kittys) which place would be and why.....
That's a tough one, there are so many places I'd like to go. If I had to choose just one, I'd probably go back to Austria.

5.- What is the thing that really annoys you about the persons.......( for example: the hypocrisy, the envy etc)
This is basically the same as an earlier question about pet peeves. So, same answer. I get especially irritated with selfish people who do whatever feels good to them without considering the effect their actions might have on other people around them.

6.- Are you Religious?
I'm not sure what you mean by "religious". The word can have negative connotations for some people. I'm a Christian trying to live my faith. I will talk about it if anyone asks, but I hope I'm not obnoxious in "sharing" my beliefs.

7.- Favourite Salad?
MMMMM. I love salads, all kinds. I make a tossed salad for dinner that usually includes every kind of fresh vegetable I have in the house. Then there's a dessert salad made with rice-shaped pasta, pineapple, mandarin oranges, cool whip, marshmallows, and a few other goodies.

8.- favourite pop soda?
Don't drink it.

9.- Choose one would you prefer to watch Sunrise or Sunset and tell us why......
I'm a night owl, so sunset of course. That is, unless I've been up all night and happen to catch the sunrise before I go to bed.

10.- Do you have a car? which type is it?....
I drive a Toyota Prius hybrid.

Somehow this doing computer stuff without helpers didn't work out so well. The kittens are away but Miss Patchwillow was all over me while I was trying to type.

Hi. I don't often pose questions in the Spotlight thread, because I can't usually think of interesting ones, but I'm enjoying your responses, so here are a few. The theme is desert island, i.e. suppose you were stranded on one...

1. I know you said you don't have many CDs, but these do not need to come from your own collection -- What would be your five Desert Island disks? Why?

2. You might also want some reading material -- What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?

3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind?

4. Food might be a challenge -- If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose?

5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be?

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?

----------

And this one is really research: How to you like the Prius?

Hi. I don't often pose questions in the Spotlight thread, because I can't usually think of interesting ones, but I'm enjoying your responses, so here are a few. The theme is desert island, i.e. suppose you were stranded on one...
Wow! I had to think about these for a while.

1. I know you said you don't have many CDs, but these do not need to come from your own collection -- What would be your five Desert Island disks? Why?
1.Toccata and Fugue in D minor by J. S. Bach (think Phantom of the Opera)
2. Grand Canyon Suite by Ferde Grofe. I would prefer the recording by Arthur Fiedler and the Boston Pops, but don't know if it's been made into a CD. So I'll take what I can get.
3. Beethoven's Sixth Symphony
4. Porgy and Bess by George Gershwin, recording with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
5. Dvorak's Slavonik Dances

These are all favorites that I could listen to over and over without ever getting tired of them. I just hope you stranded me with a CD player that runs on solar power.

2. You might also want some reading material -- What would be your five Desert Island books? Why?
What? Out of all the hundreds of books I own you want me to choose just five?!? Waaaah! Okay, here they are.

1. The Bible--German translation so I can keep up my language skills and because it makes me think more than reading the same familiar words in English.
2. The Hobbit by J. R. R. Tolkien because it's so much fun.
3. The Robe by Lloyd C. Douglas because I've read it so many times and it always leave me feeling good no matter what my mood was when I started.
4. The latest J. D. Robb mystery. Maybe it will even be something I haven't read yet.
5. Dr. Zhivago by Boris Pasternak because I haven't read it for years. Besides, it's a really thick book and might last longer than some of the others.

3. What else would you like to have with you to occupy your time and your mind?
My kitties

4. Food might be a challenge -- If you could have only two or three foods and nothing else, what would you choose?
Cheese, preferably Gouda or Edam
Spinach, great as fresh salad or cooked
Chocolate

5. If you could have one human companion, who would that be?
My father. But I would want to have him back the way he was a few years ago when he could still remember how to turn on his electric shaver.

This one is not part of the theme:

6. If you came into a large sum of money -- an unexpected inheritance, a winning, whatever, but "set-you-up-for-life" big -- what would be the first four things you would do?
1. Pay off the mortgage on my house
2. Pay off my niece's loans from medical school so far and pay her tuition for the rest of the time
3. Buy a huge property and build a feline rescue facility with a full-time vet and enough caretakers to make it a true no-kill shelter. (Sorry, I'm not a dog person. Somebody else will have to take care of the puppies.)
4. Assuming we're talking about billions of $$ here rather than millions, I'd finish the biosphere that I started with the million dollars wilfire203 gave me.
----------

And this one is really research: How to you like the Prius?
It's great. I've never paid much attention to cars before as long as mine kept running and didn't cost me a fortune. This one is really fun to drive and the gas mileage is excellent. My biggest problem is that it's so quiet and the ride is so smooth I don't have any sense of how fast I'm going. Fortunately I haven't gotten a speeding ticket so far.

They're up for adoption. I'd even throw in one of the pots to sweeten the deal for you.

ready for another set?.. ..
Ready as I'll ever be. I've been exercising my brain.

1. What's your favorite hobby?...
Photography

2. What's one trait you hate about yourself?....
I procrastinate on everything, then end up scrambling at the last minute trying to catch up.

3. Name 3 thoughts at this exact moment:….
1. I really should be working on my music for Christmas Eve.
2. There aren't enough hours in the day.
3. I wish Miss Patchwillow would stop walking across my keyboard while I'm trying to type.

4. What do you read in the bathroom?....
Usually nothing. If I happen to have a book in my hand when I go in I'll read that.

5. Current worry right now?....
I'm never going to be ready for the Christmas cantata on Saturday and I don't want to let the whole choir down.
6. High heels or low heels are you wearing right now?....
Fuzzy slippers, so I guess that counts as low heels.

7. Favorite place to be on weekends?....
In bed, cuddled up with my kitties. However, I work almost every weekend so that doesn't happen.

8. Where would you like to go?.....
Are we still talking about weekends here, or traveling in general? I don't want to go anywhere for the weekend, rather stay home. For vacation travel I like to go to new places. One place that on my "to go" list is Australia.

9. What´s your Favourite pop soda….
This was in a previous set of questions. Still don't drink any.

10. What colour shirt or blouse are you wearing right now?....
I'm not wearing one right now. Hey, it's not as bad as it sounds. I haven't gotten dressed for the day. So . . . light blue nightgown, lavendar bathrobe, but no shirt.

.. so sorry...

.. REady?...

1. Have you ever to sleeped on satin sheets?
2. Can you whistle?
3. What colour perfect fits with you?
4. Would you be a Pirate? (Disguise for Halloween)
5. What songs do you sing in the shower?
6. Favorite Girl's Name?
7. Favorite Baseball Team?
8. Favorite boy's name?
9. What's in your pocket right now?
10. Last thing that made you laugh?

1. Have you ever slept on satin sheets?
No, but I did have a satin pillowcase when I was in about 8th grade. Hmm. Wonder whatever happened to that?

2. Can you whistle?
No. I don't think it counts when all I get is a breathy sound on one note. I was always jealous that my mother could whistle any tune she wanted. Of course, she can't sing and I can, so I guess that makes it even.

3. What colour perfect fits with you?
Dark Turquoise--darker than this color

4. Would you be a Pirate? (Disguise for Halloween)
No. I never liked dressing up for Halloween even when I was a kid, unless I could be a princess or a ballerina. Now I make sure I'm working on Halloween so I have a good excuse to turn down any invitation to a costume party.

5. What songs do you sing in the shower?
I don't usually sing in the shower. Occasionally if I'm practicing a solo for church and feel like it needs a little extra work.

6. Favorite Girl's Name?
I'm not sure I have one favorite. Maybe something like Rhiannon or Brianna.

7. Favorite Baseball Team?
CUBBIES!!! I'm not really a sports fan, but I grew up in Illinois and if you didn't root for the Chicago Cubs you got run out of town.

8. Favorite boy's name?
Benjamin

9. What's in your pocket right now?
A little bit of fluff and probably some cat hairs.

10. Last thing that made you laugh?
If you don't count some of the pictures on TCS, it was a concert I went to last week by The 3 Redneck Tenors. I was laughing so hard I almost fell out of my seat, especially when they performed "Santa Baby" in drag.

I'm always glad to share my pictures, I just don't have very many of them on my computer. I shoot mostly slide film which then has to be scanned in to the computer.

Ready again for another set?..
Getting close to the end here. My week finishes tomorrow morning.

1. Can you drive a motorcycle?
I've never tried, and it's not something I have any desire to learn.

2 Worst injury you've ever had?
When I was in college a bunch of us went tobogganing on the ski slopes. (

What did we think was going to happen?

) We hit a rock of course. I was not the worst injured, but I smashed my right hand. I have a couple of pins in my hand and can't make a fist because the joints between my hand and three fingers are basically frozen.

3. Do you love where you live?
Yes. It's a great place to live. Small town, friendly people. There are times in the middle of the summer that I would rather be somewhere else---maybe a vacation to the mountains.

4. How many TVs do you have in your house?
One

5. Who is your loudest friend?
That would have to be one of my coworkers. I won't tell you her name because it might embarrass her.

6. Do you have any pets?
Six cats (3 cats, 3 kittens)

7. Does someone have a crush on you?
If they do they haven't told me.

8. Your favorite book(s)?
Oh wow! This is a hard one. I think I would have to go with books by a favorite author rather than specific titles. That said, I read somewhere between 100 and 150 books a year, and I love variety. Some of the authors I like best are Nora Roberts/J. D. Robb; Isaac Asimov; Kathryn Kurtz; Anne McCaffrey; James Patterson . . . Okay, so I don't really have one favorite.

9. Do you collect anything?
Years ago I tried to start a teacup collection. I think I have a dozen teacups, but it never really took off. I do have a large number of ceramic cats, all of which are packed safely away since I got live cats.

10. What song do you want played at your funeral?
"On Eagle's Wings"

Thanks you for answering my questions my friend, .....This is the last set by my own... .....The main topic of today would be Cats and also other stuffs...

Six. The ones I have now.

2.- could you tell us the name of the list above?
Shareena, Miss Patchwillow, Goldy, Iris, Lion, Cali

3.- Do you have any preference about of Breeds of cats?
Domestic Shorthair, which is a good thing because that's all I have

4.- Do you dream with cats when you sleep?
I dreamed I had five cats piled on me while a was sleeping. No, wait! That wasn't a dream. That was real life!

I don't remember any dreams about cats.

5.- Have you ever given catnip to your kitties to play?
I tried with Shareena and Miss Patchwillow but got no reaction from either of them. They go crazy over peppermint though. I haven't bothered to get any catnip for Goldy so don't know what she would do. I think the kittens are still too young to care.

6.- Which brand do you prefer to give your kitty in Wet and Dry food to eat?
Taste of the Wild dry. Wet food I give Friskies Prime Filets Beef in Gravy. It's not the greatest food, but it's the only one that two of my kitties will eat so it's what everybody gets.

IMO is a great Idea my friend!...
