Getting to know each other

A: That all the people in my life who I cherish know how important they are to me, and never have any doubt the impact they have had on my life.

Q: What's the best birthday gift you ever recieved?

A. I got a dishwasher for this past birthday, and I tell you that I have taken charge of my life!
I don't think anyone should have to suffer life without one!

Q. What was the best opportunity you were ever offered? Did you take up the opportunity?

A. I worked in a family business for 8 years with my father, brother, and uncle. My father wanted to retire and hand me the business. But I turned it down. Only because the first day that I would own it I would fire my brother and my uncle. I couldn't do it to them and couldn't survive without them. Now, 2 years later I wish we were still in business together. Life was a lot easier and fun.
The business was an Amusement Company that leased Juke boxes, pool tables, video arcade games, pinball, foosball, and darts to local bars/taverns, restaurants. Sound like fun? I miss it with regret.

Q. Forgot to post the Question. If you were given a company to run, what would it be and why?

A: It would be an indipendent motion picture production company so that I could have the creative freedom to tell the stories I want to tell and make the movies I want to make. Time may be slipping past, but I still hold onto this dream to this day.

OR

Open A Cats R Us for obvious reasons.

Q: (someone may have asked this, but I'm going to ask it anyway). If you could be one animal of ANY kind for a day (other than a cat), what would it be? And what would you do with your time on this day?

A: If I could be any other animal, besides a cat, for one day....and what would I do with this day......I would be my hedgehog Penelope, and I would mate with Spike like crazy, cause mama (me) wants baby hedgies real bad!!!

Q: Would you ever fall in love with someone who was married?

I have to answer this one even thought I have answered one before. It would be an Eagle for sure. I have this reaccuring dream where I am an Eagle and I just soar over the mountains and lakes and above the trees and I'm filled with this overwelming joy. The dream is so vivid I have no trouble remembering every detail when I wake up unlike most other dreams and this dream is one of the few that is in full color.

question: Be honest now what table did you sit at in your high school cafeteria?

1) In answer to Debby's question: YES, I fall in love with a married guy every day -- fortunately he is my husband. I know that I am lucky to have a guy like John & not have to worry about dating & determining whether a fella is married or single.

2) In answer to timeliestkitty's question: I was a dork, and sat with a bunch of dorks. But, I had such fun in high school that I have become a high school teacher. I got my first job recently and will start in the fall.

3) My question to y'all: What is the silliest movie you ever loved?

A: Night at the roxbury. it was based on the saturday night live skit where the 2 guys hung out at the clubs and bopped their heads back and forth to music, they were total creepsw. i love will ferrell and the movie always cracks me up. i watch it everytime it's on.

Q: what is the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?

Dear Air Princess (love that name, want to let us in on the meaning/signifigance ? Anyway, nicest thing anyone ever did for me (other than give me my first cat)? That would have to be My Mom who gave me a sense of self-esteem every day. My whole family is, what you might call outside the realm of norm: My Mom was 6'1",My Dad 6'8". I have brothers that are 7',6'10",and 6'8". I am 6'4" and my two isters 5'10"(we don't know what happened here, but she is the oldest and mom and dad got better with practice) the youngest sister was 6'1". You can imagine the ribings we took as kids growing up in the 60's when TALL KIDS were not all basketball stars. My Mom told us every day how beautiful and special we were and that we must always stand up straight and be proud. So I woud have to credit her with the best thing anyone ever did for me. My question for anyone and everyone is If you could live during any time in the past when would you choose and briefly, why? Quickly my answers to some of the other questions : Animal? Penguin. I just love the way they look. Business? I would have my own touring musical/theatrical company. I'm a closet Broadway preformer at heart. Those are the only ones I can remember without going back. . . . . . Threeleggedkat

I would love to live in the south pre-civil war but, I would free all the slaves on my plantation and give them all a little piece of the plantation as their own. Then I would hire them to work on the plantation and pay them a decent wage.
Why would I like to live there? I guess I fantasize about being Scarlet O'Hara

Where is the prettiest place you have ever visited?

I would have to say the prettiest place I have ever been is Yosemite national park. I still remember looking at the waterfall out of my cabin window.


Q: what is your prefrence..real diamonds or something a little less pricey?

A. Although I absolutely LOVE real diamonds, I know that I will not live forever and find it a little foolish spending that kind of money on them. I'd rather buy a cubic zirconia (a real good one) and go on a trip that will give me beautiful memories.

Q. If you could undo one injustice in the world, what would that be?

A: Animal abuse/neglect

Q: Casual or dressy?

A: Oh definatly casual!! I only dress up when I have to. In the summer it is shorts,t shirt and burkenstocks and winter it is jeans, sweatshirt and ugg boots!!!

Q: Do you buy name brand or store brand?

A: Usually store brand, because I'm a college student..I take what money breaks I can. lol

But there are some things I just do not buy generic...StarKist tuna, Jif peanut butter, Ragu spaghetti sauce, to name a few.

Q: Comedy or drama?

A. It depends on if it is on sale or not. I buy name brand cat food (Iams), name brand detergents (Era, Tide). Food wise, it doens't matter to me... it all tastes the same!! As for clothing, I don't buy name brand, unless there is something specific that I like. I used to by Calvin Klein jeans, but I don't anymore....

Q. What is your favorite restaurant?

A: The Olive Garden

Q: Which movie (if any) have you seen over 5 times?

Patriot Games, Ben Hur, Matrix and Cliffhanger

Have to agree with Birkenstocks but, that's the only name brand in clothing for me.
My favorite restaurant is Olive Garden, too.
Have never seen any movie I would go to see more than once.

How many hours a day do you spend on the computer? Work or personal?

A. A lot, so much that I don't keep count! Not that I don't have a life or anything....it keeps me from going to the mall or to stores and spending the whole paycheck!! So, I guess it is a good thing!

Q. This is a controversial one.... what do you think of human cloning? Persoanlly, I think it is wrong!
