1. Do you cook? Do you like to, or is it a chore?

I cook, but its definitely a chore

2. Do you like to cook with someone else? How well do you share your kitchen?

I like to make stuff in the crock pot, where you can throw in the ingredients and go about your business.

4. What is your favourite dish that someone else prepares for you? Who?

When mom was alive, she was a wonderful cook. I especially liked her ham & lima beans, but everything she made was good.

5. Either of those favourites might be a comfort food, or not. What is your favourite comfort food?

Potatoes! baked, fried, mashed, I love potatoes, you name it. I love potatoes!

6. What is your favourite celebration food?

Depends, but I guess steak is always good, or a roast.

7. When people come to my table, I always ask first whether there are any allergies/sensitivities/likes/dislikes I should keep in mind. If you came to my home, what would your answer be?

I like plain, simple food without a lot of spices. Spices and I don't get along very good. However, I've never been one to expect a hostess to cater to me, so I probably wouldn't ask you to do anything different

8. Do you consider yourself adventurous where unfamiliar food is concerned?

Definitely not. If I don't like the smell, I probably won't even taste it

9. What is your favourite meal of the day?

Lunch.

misty8723 · May 17, 2011

I like country, oldies pop, rock, and country, cajun music, folk music, don't care much for current stuff but some of it is okay

I probably have about 100 or so. I haven't bought CDs in awhile because I just get them as mp3s and listen that way

3.- Wich one is your favourite singer Male?

Its hared to narrow it down to one, but I guess I would have to say Harry Chapin.

Carrie Underwood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLLMz...eature=related

http://www.1.fm/Station/SmoothJazz/Default.aspx )

No, I'm not a big fan of jazz

9.- In your own opinion wich one is better, a CD original from an artist or an MP3 collage of music without nothing of information?...

I would go with the MP3 collage because I can always google for information if I want it. I like the variety of having a lot of different songs, styles, artists on my mp3 player (which is a Sony)

10.- Do you play some Musical instrument?

No. I studied violin for awhile when I was younger, but I have no aptitude for musice. I wish I was musical, because I love music.

misty8723 · May 18, 2011

1. Which do you prefer, electric or gas? Which do you have?

Electric is what I prefer and what I have. I've never used gas. Honestly, I'm afraid of gas

2. Cookbooks: do you like them? What's your favourite one?

I do use cookbooks sometimes, my favorite is an old Betty Crocker one I got when I got married (30 years ago).

3. Are you primarily a recipe cook, or do you like to fly by the seat of your pants?

I use recipes if I want to try something new, but the main stuff is by the seat of my pants. I'm no gormet cook for sure, so its not anything fancy I'm talking about. But sometimes if I've started out with a recipe, I'll modify it over time.

And then a bit about Travel...

1. What countries have you visited? Would you visit them again?

My first trip away from home was to Montreal Canada, with a friend, and I loved it. I've also been to Toronto and Niagara Falls, Canada. Went with DH once years ago on a business trip, we flew to London, England and spent a couple days there. Then went on to Brussels, Belguim where he had a meeting. From there we took a train to Antwerp, Belgium and Amsterdam. It was awesome. Yes, I'd definitely visit any one of them again if I had the $$ for it.

2. Which was your favourite overall?

Boy that's tough. I enjoyed every one of them, I don't think I could pick just one, they were all great.

3. Which was your favourite trip?

All of them, just couldn't pick one over the others.

4. Would you live in any of them longterm?

No, I'm pretty happy here in the States. However, if I did have to permanently live in any one of them, I would probably pick Toronto or Niagara Falls - because its closer to home and family, and I already know the language :lol3:

I bet you do a very nice job CoolCat. Me, on the other hand, if I was only 1% the talent of Bono I would be very happy

You think IÂ´m done for today?...

Oh no! and its only Wednesday!

You really are a

Coolcat

The topic of now going to be Movies!

1.- Wich one is your favourite Genre of Movies?

I like fantasy or science fiction if its not all just cowboys in space stuff. I like romantic comedies and character movies. Don't care a lot for the action/adventure or crime ones

2.- Do you collect DVDÂ´s or VHS??,….How many do you have?

I have some VHS but no VHS player anymore. I have a few DVDs, but not a lot. Maybe a couple dozen.

3.- Wich one is your favourite Actor Male?

Not sure about absolute favorite, but I like Jeff Bridges

4.- Wich one is your favourite Actor Female?

Meryl Streep is very good

5.- Have you ever to participated in some Special Event of your favourite artist?

No, haven't had the opportunity. I've been to concerts but no participation

6.- Have you ever to saw in live to some artist? ( I mean is some restaurant, buying at mall or in some resort?)

No artists. I've seen a couple of local TV anchors, one in a drug store and one in a bank. And I've seen some of the hockey players and coach for the local NHL team in the grocery store, but that's about it.

7.- Do you like to watch the Oscar Awards, the Grammys, the Emmys, the People choice etc?

I haven't watched them in a long time. Occasionally I'll watch the country music awards, but I don't go to movies and I don't watch a lot of tv shows, so I don't really know what the awards are for these days

8.- Have you ever to participated in a role in a Theather representation? ( maybe just for fun or when you was on School?) …

When I was in school, I was in a couple plays, minor parts, but it was fun. I don't think I could do it now, too self-conscious

9.- If you could to meet to some artist wich one would be and say us why!...

Hmm...I think I would like to meet john Arthur martinez because I love his singing and performances and he seems like such a genuinely nice guy.

10.- Would you like to live next at some artist (? ( I mean for example your neighboor would be a TV anchor or else?)…

…

I guess if they were quiet and not a lot of drama going on, it would be okay. I don't think I'd want to live next to a rock star or one who was always throwing loud parties and stuff. I like my peace and quiet at home.

Cheers my friend…

I've been very lucky, the worst I've had was a fractured arm when I was a kid.

misty8723 · May 19, 2011

Man! I was in the middle of answering these, hit a key of some sort and poof! All gone

And now, the most important food group: Chocolate!

1. Dark, Milk, or White?

Dark chocolate

2. Plain, filled, or with nuts or other stuff?

With nutes

Hmm, I'm not too fussy about brands. Belgian chocolate is good

Chocolate oatmeal fudge my mom used to make

5. Do you have any traditions/rituals that revolve around chocolate?

No, but maybe its a good time to start one?
And a little Hodgepodge...

1. Do you like veggies? What is your favourite?

Not particularly. Favorite is raw carrots

2. Are your grandparents still alive? Do you know them well?

None of them are still alive, and I didn't know them well. Now that I'm older and into genealogy, that's one of my regrets, that I didn't ask them more questions when they were still around

3. When you have a 'lazy' morning, how late do you sleep in?

7:30 or 8:00. Normally I get up between 5 and 5:30, so 8:00 is being really lazy

4. Do you drive? Do you like to or is it a necessary evil?

I drive. I don't mind it, but two things bug me. One is aggressive drivers who are impatient to get somewhere and the other is worrying about animals running into the road. I swear I've come to hate squirrels with a passion.

5. What is your first language? What others do you know - not necessarily fluently, but enough to be understood?

English. I know a little bit of French, but I couldn't carry on a conversation.

6. How do you like your eggs cooked?

Poached, or hard boiled

7. What is your favourite type of movie?

fantasy, romatic comedy, character movies

8. When you go to a movie do you stay to read the credits?

If I go with DH I do. He won't budge until the screen goes black. If he's not there, no I wouldn't.

9. What behaviour would you ask your cats to explain, if they could speak?

I would ask them why they sleep so much and what they dream about. And why I'm not allowed to go in the bathroom by myself

misty8723 · May 20, 2011

1.- Wich one is the most crazy thing that have you ever do it???? ( I mean for example, Jump in parachute, Take a Snake live, Jump in Bungee etc)

I don't think I've every done anything really crazy. I did touch a live snake, but somebody else was holding it.

2.- Do you have indor plants at home?

I have 4 plants at home and two here at the office. I used to have more, but a lot of them died. I don't have a green thumb. I have a plant stand in my window which has become a cat stand and the plants have been moved elsewhere.

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

If by historical you mean someone from the past but not necessarily famous, I would LOVE to be able to talk to my grandmother (maternal) because she died when I was 3 years old. There's so much mystery surrounding her past, who her father was, etc. and I would really like to talk to her). If you mean a famous historical person - Jesus comes to mind, to see what he was really all about.

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 would probably stay in the States, and maybe move back to Ohio. Or maybe somewhere near the ocean.

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

I get really annoyed with people who don't think for themselves and allow other people to make decisions for them without first seeing what the agena of that person is (as in people who blindly follow a political party without stopping to think who is going to benefit for their particular agenda). Also anybody who is cruel to an animal - but that goes beyond just being annoyed.

6.- Are you Religious?

I'm not religious, but I am spiritual.

7.- Favourite Salad?

Fruit salad

8.- favourite pop soda?

Diet Pepsi

9.- Choose one would you prefer to watch Sunrise or Sunset and tell us why......

I think sunrise - because its the beginning of a new day and everything is fresh and new. I've seen surise over the Atlantic Ocean from a plane and it was spectacular. Of course, sunsets are so beautiful and you can relax and enjoy it because the work is done. So, I love both. I also love looking at the sky at night with all the stars...so beautiful.

10.- Do you have a car? wich type is it?....

I have a 2010 Ford Fusion - which I just love. Best car I ever owned.

coolcat · May 20, 2011

nice answers!...

But the day do not finish yet!..

1. What time did you get up this morning?..

2. What do you prefer If I gift you…Diamonds or pearls?.( just choose one).

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

4. What is your favorite TV show?

5. What do you usually have for breakfast?..

6. What was the best time in your life?..

7. What food do you dislike? ..

8. What is your favorite CD at moment?

9. Have you ever drive a boat?

10. Can you Swimn?...

11. What personal characteristics do you despise?

misty8723 · May 20, 2011

Of all the kitties who have been in your life...

1. Who is/was your heart kitty?

Swanie is my

kitty. We bonded the minute we laid eyes on each other.

2. Who is/was the silliest? the mushiest? the grumpiest?

I have to answer Swanie to all of those. He is very silly, he's also a love bug addicted to my lap, but he can be grumpy if he's not getting his way.

3. Who is/was the most challenging? in what way?

Cindy, because she was very cautious when she came to live here, she was under the bed a lot, we had to spend a lot of time getting her to feel comfortable. But it was totally worth it. She's also still a little skiddish if she thinks she might get taken to the vet or some other such thing. And she's a very picky eater. But she's a sweetheart and totally worth it. She's DH's little "girlfriend," she's his

kitty.

4. Any purebred among them? what breed?

I doubt it, we got them from a shelter.

5. Have you ever thought about adding a particular type of cat, whether actually purebred or not, to your crew? What breed or what specific characteristics would you be looking for? Why?

No, I think two is enough for now. If I did add another kitty or two (which is totally tempting) they would also be rescues, not from a breeder.

And to finish the week, a few about your family

1. How many siblings do you have? Where are you in the birth order?

I have one sister and she's 8 years younger than me.

2. Did you get along with your siblings as a child? Do you now?

We got along great as kids and still get along great. She says we've never had a fight. I don't know if that's true, but I sure can't remember any.

3. How close were/are you to your parents?

I was very close to my mother. Not close to my father because he wasn't around much when I was growing up.

4. Do you have a special childhood memory you'd like to share?

We lived in the country when I was growing up. Not a farm, but lots of land, lots of fields, woods to play it, etc. We had a lot of fruit trees and such growing on the land, always had a lot of animals around, and I totally miss that kind of life.

misty8723 · May 20, 2011

1. What time did you get up this morning?..

About 5:15 AM. I wanted to hit the snooze one more time, but the cats had other idea

2. What do you prefer If I gift you…Diamonds or pearls?.( just choose one).

Oh, diamonds for sure. Thank you Coolcat

3. What was the last film you saw at the cinema?

I haven't been out to a movie in years, so I don't really remember. I think it may have been Shrek II, so that tells you how long it was.

4. What is your favorite TV show?

Right now the HBO show Game of Thrones. And American Idol.
5. What do you usually have for breakfast?..

Cheerios during the week and toast and hot tea on the weekend.

6. What was the best time in your life?..

Definitely when I was a kid

7. What food do you dislike? ..

Its a long list. Anything with onions.

8. What is your favorite CD at moment?

Bat Out of Hell, Meatloaf

9. Have you ever drive a boat?

No, but I've been in them, small one and bigger ones

10. Can you Swimn?...

No, I have a fear of water. I've tried several times to learn and I get to panicy.

11. What personal characteristics do you despise?

greed and intolerance
