Food/Cooking again...

1. Which do you prefer, electric or gas? Which do you have?
Electric. We have all electric appliances. Never really been a fan of gas appliances.

2. Cookbooks: do you like them? What's your favourite one?
I do. I have one that is called something like "The New Bride's Giant Cookbook"

3. Are you primarily a recipe cook, or do you fly by the seat of your pants?
Fly by the seat of my pants and hope the landing is good!



And a couple of travel questions...

1. What countries have you visited? Would you visit them again?
US, Canada, Bahamas, St. Maarten, and St. Thomas. I'd love to visit MANY more, especially Italy.

2. Which was your favourite overall?
St. Thomas


3. Which was your favourite trip?
I enjoyed both my Caribbean trip AND my Canada trip - they both were wonderful, with different perks for each.

4. Would you live in any of them longterm?
Hubby and I were talking about moving to St. Thomas
When we were there for our honeymoon, he saw all the hills and imagined all the transmission repair opportunities that await. Most of the cabs they have are vehicles with "weak" transmissions that he sees often in the business now anyway. We often joke about it, not sure if it'd ever happen considering the severe hurricanes that tear through though, and the money to buy a house there would have to appear!

Hi! I don't have time for questions now, just wanted to say thanks for all the fun answers and Gary and I live in Hope! Were you ever out to the Land of Make Believe?
It's still here. Everyone in North Jersey seems to know of it - though you're so young that maybe it wasn't someplace parents took kids much when you were younger - it looks like it's been around forever.

Yep we went to Land of Make Believe a lot when I was a kid
I remember every time we went, I'd know as soon as we got off I-80. My best friend's dad and step mom also lived in Hope, so I spent a lot of time there hanging out with her when she'd visit them.

I kind of miss Land of Make Believe, and am actually surprised its still there!

1. Can you drive a motorcicle?...

Never have tried to ride a motorcycle. I have ridden dirt bikes, I imagine it cant be much different, just a bit heavier


2 Worst injury you've ever had?...

Pulled back muscle or sprained elbow. I've been lucky and have never broken any bones *knock on wood!*

3. Do you love where you live?...

I like it, and its nice because I enjoy history and Charleston is full of it, but I'd much rather live in New Jersey again. I truly did love it there.


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

Two - one 46" in our bedroom, one 52" in the living room (upgrading soon to 55" flat panel). May get a little one for the kitchen some day


5. Who is your loudest friend?...

Dont have many friends these days, but I guess it'd be the girl who moved to NY that I havent talked to since! She was VERY loud.

6. Do you have any pets?(apart of your kitts of course
)…....

Two 55 gallon fish tanks - one has tropical cichlids in it, and the other has a huge pink kissing gourami and a few black skirted tetras.

7. Does someone have a crush on you?...

My husband, I'd guess!
Although I think there's a guy in southern NJ I've talked to for about 10 years now who admitted to having one on me too.


8. Your favorite book(s)?

Homer's Odyssey; A Painted House; Christine; My Sister's Keeper., to name a few.

9. Do you collect anything?...
Cat related items. Hot mitts, figurines, photography with cats included, etc. Also have a keychain collection.

10. What song do you want played at your funeral?

I'll be dead, so I'll have no idea what they play
I guess something that would remind the people there of me and my life, as picked out by hubby.

Quck funny story... if you switch two digits in our phone number, it is the number for the Land of Make Believe. We found this out because when we moved here, we handed out the wrong number. Everyone trying to reach us was calling the Land of Make Believe. It was closed for the season so an answering machine, and everyone thought it was just us playing a joke!
(Of course they were all perfectly willing to believe we lived in the "land of make believe."
).

OK.... list 25 things you'd like us to know about you.

Just a single question here:

Here in Texas we had a candidate for Governor two years ago and he was an independent candidate again this year but dropped out last week because of the politics going on right now.

He has a face like Pallidan, remember him? wears a big cowboy hat and boots, is very slim and dresses in black and smokes big fat cigars. I voted for him two years ago because despite his looks he said he would make it a crime to cut cats' claws off and he also offered several thousand acres that he would donate to feral cats where they would be taken well care of (he has plenty of money). He also has plenty of cats and to see him it is a strike against stereotypes for sure. Two years ago he had an ad showing a cat just like my Persi on his lap and he was dressed as an outlaw cowboy, smoking a big fat cigar and I knew I HAD to go vote for him after hearing what he said.

I voted for this unlikely candidate two years ago and was so sorry to hear that he dropped out, even though an independent would have no chance of actually winning.

Given the facts I have given you, would you have voted for ths man as Governor?

The kitties in your life -- how many have there been?
This'll be long...There've been many, I've always had cats growing up.
  • First was Sunshine, she lived at the shop my dad owned. She climbed in a dumptruck and we never saw her again
  • Then there was Muffler. She was also a shop cat. She had two litters of kittens in 1993, my family kept 4 - two at the shop and two at home. Muffler died not long after her 2nd litter.
  • Tune-up and Spark Plug were the two who stayed at the shop. Tune Up ran away after about a year. Spark Plug was our German Shep's best friend. When Ulli died, Spark Plug passed away the following month from her heart murmer.
  • The two we brought home were Mag and Battery. Mag had a maggot in his neck, and that's how he ended up at our house. Battery was the only one left to be adopted so we took him home too. Battery died of cancer in 2003, Mag died of kidney failure in 2004.
  • After Battery died we adopted Chassis from a vet's office. She's now 6 and lives with my parents. The day before Mag crossed the bridge, we adopted Caliper. She's now 5 and also lives with my parents. Tailpipe (#2?) joined the ranks of our cats and also lives with my parents.
  • At one point when my dad had his shop, someone left a box with a kitten in it at his door. We named her Tailpipe, but because we already had animals there, one of my dad's friends came in and took her home a week later. According to them she remained kitten sized for years. Someone else abandoned two kittens in a dump truck on the shop property, and we took them in. Turbo and Camshaft. Cammy had to be put down because she had distemper. Turbo was "cat-napped" while out on his travels (we know he didnt get hit, because he would come back after a few weeks or a few months and visit).
  • When I moved in with Rob, I "adopted" his 13 year old cat Tigger into my life. She died after getting an I-131 injection for her hyperthyroidism in 2007. Two weeks later we adopted Monte and Katina, 8 week old kittens from the SPCA. Monte was killed by a car in June 2008 at 11 months old. Katina now lives with my in-laws, who live behind us. She didn't adjust to our new house. After Monte died we adopted Nero from the SPCA later in 2008.
  • Nero needed a friend after Katina "moved out", so we adopted Hoshi from the SPCA that has animals at Petsmart in March 2009. Later that year I talked Rob into a 3rd, and we adopted Neko from the SPCA in November 2009. WHEW!
1. Who is/was your heart kitty?
Mag and Battery have always held a special place in my heart
Those were my two house cats growing up, until I was 16-17. Right now, Nero is my heart kitty in his own way


2. Who is/was the silliest? the mushiest? the grumpiest?
Nero has got to be the silliest. He is also the mushiest! I've never gotten so much love from a cat before. Granted Battery used to sleep with me all the time, Nero is the super love cat. Grumpiest would probably be a tie between Mag and Hoshi


3. Who is/was the most challenging? in what way?
Tailpipe, who lives with my parents, is the most challenging. It's been 4 years since he was adopted, and he still doesn't let anyone really pick him up or pet him a lot. Everything is on his time and his time only. He rarely ever lets me near him when Rob and I visit.

4. Any purebreds among them? what breed?
No purebreds in our kitty collection over the years.

5. Have you ever thought about having a particular type of cat, whether actually purebed or not? What breed or what specific characteristics would you be looking for? Why?
I'd love to have a Maine Coon. Rob and I are both very partial to them. They're such gorgeous kitties! My neighbors in NJ had two of them and they were a riot. I also liked how large they got, yet still could act like the tiniest kitten.

Going by all of his promises towards helping feral population as well as house cats, yes I would!


He does sound like he looks a little rough and tough, but one could be surprised by how a person is on the inside. I watched a show put on by a news channel once that showed convicts in a maximum security prison and how much they loved the feral cats that showed up on the grounds. So much so that they would buy items for the cats and pay vet bills with money they earned doing jobs at the prison.

1. I hate calling people on the phone, unless its family or close friends.

2. I am horrible at girly things like doing hair and makeup.

3. I would move back to New Jersey in a heartbeat if Rob came with me.

4. I take pole dancing classes, and love them. I made it to the advanced level in less than a year.

5. My parent's anniversary, Valentine's Day, and my birthday are all 3 days apart from each other.

6. If I talk fast and am angry, you can hear a NJ accent.

7. I despise the thought of having kids - my cats are my kids.

8. I enjoy watching/hearing other peoples' juicy drama, as long as it doesn't affect or include me.

9. I haven't seen my best female friend in over five years (and I miss her like crazy!)

10. I LOVE snow. I wish it snowed here, more than once every 5-10 years.

11. I am awesome at remembering numerical things, and certain conversations.

12. I want to stay at a bed & breakfast in Vermont one fall.

13. I want to own a house on Isle of Palms, so I can listen to waves crashing on the shore before bed.

14. I am a severe procrastinator if it is something I don't enjoy doing.

15. Rob is the best thing to happen to me - I wouldn't be half as successful without him.

16. I don't like to go out shopping often. I either prefer to do it online or when I have a strange desire to go.

17. I would love to learn how to cook as amazingly as my mom.

18. Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I never left New Jersey.

20. I love reading old journal entries and being able to look back and laugh at myself in high school.

21. I sometimes wish my mom and I were closer than we are.

22. I absolutely love rollercoasters and thrill rides.

23. I enjoy going back and downloading songs I used to listen to back in 2001-2005.

24. I'm attacking a full semester at school for the spring, towards my BS in Chemistry - forensics in my future?

25. My 2 year wedding anniversary (and 5 years together) with Rob is coming up very soon
Time flies!

Havent really done too much crazy stuff ... YET. I'd love to go bungee jumping or sky diving one day. I have picked up a live boa constrictor once at an Earth Day celebration. I guess some of the crazy rides I've gone on count too...

2.- Do you have indor plants at home?
I have a bonsai tree in my bathroom, which Hoshi has managed to eat twice now
, cat grass in the living room, and a "Water Angel" or something like that plant that I just need to add water to every week and it grows. I cant grow anything


3.- If you can travel in time and to meet to some historycal person WHO would be and Tell us why?...

Hmm, never really thought much about it. Possibly Albert Einstein, he seemed funny yet very smart.

4.- If you have the money power to move to some part of the world ( of course with your kittys) wich place would be and why.....
I'd love to try out Italy for awhile. I'm very in touch with my Italian side
I want to learn the language and more about the culture, so I probably wouldnt mind living there. My other option would be St. Thomas USVI
Beautiful almost all the time!


5.- What is the thing that really anoy you on the persons.......( for example: the hypocresy, the envy etc)

Tossed salad from Logans Roadhouse
with some Balsamic vinaigrette.

I love Stephen King books. He's been one of my favorite authors since I was about 8 or 9. My grandma got me into him. The movie was enjoyable as well. I've purchased it and seen it on TV before
