I Know That You Will Treat Her
Right And So I Pass The Baton On
To Her And Will Start Her With
Some Easy Questions. Yeah Right.



1) What do you do for a living
2) How many cats own you?
3) Are you Married or single?
4) Do you have Health insurance for yourself? Your cats?
Here is the thinker.
5) If you could go back in time to one point and change an event in history, which event would you change? And how? Why that event?

Good Luck and have fun this week... BigKittenDaddy.
Howard Jones

1) What do you do for a living? DO?

Well, at present nothing, though I am returning to college in the fall as a Pre-Pharmacy major.
2) How many cats own you? Currently, five - but many others own pieces of my

3) Are you Married or single? Happily divorced from a man who was (is) violently allergic to any and all furries!
4) Do you have Health insurance for yourself? Uh, almost Your cats? nope
Here is the thinker.
5) If you could go back in time to one point and change an event in history, which event would you change? And how? Why that event?
Wow, that is a poser. I'll probably cause a lot of controversy, but I think I'd prevent the assassination of Abraham Lincoln - maybe by yelling "FIRE" in the crowded theater? My family did a lot of US Civil War re-enactments when I was a child so I've always been fascinated with the period, and Lincoln's death has always been viewed as a pivotal event in US history. I would be curious to see how history would view old Abe had he served out his second term.
That, and I've dabbled in speculative history sci-fi, and I'd love to see how accurate some of those fictional works would be!!

Congratulations!! Excellent Choice Howard!!


Lets start with some basic, easy ones...

1. What is your favorite pasttime?
2. What is your most embarrassing moment?
3. What do you spend the most time doing on the internet, besides TCS?
4. What color is your front door?
5. If you have a fan in your bathroom, does it turn on with the lights or is there a separate switch for it?
6. Do you collect any artwork?
7. What is your favorite sport to watch? To play?
8. What beverage to you consume the most of?
9. What promted you to get your first cat?
10. What is montana like?(your surrounding area)

Wow, Erica! My first thought when I read that question was to prevent Lincoln's death, too.

1. What is your favorite pasttime? TCS, of course!!

jk, actually I'm an AVID reader - spend a lot of time (and money) in used bookshops.
2. What is your most embarrassing moment?
3. What do you spend the most time doing on the internet, besides TCS? Tonight, trying to track down snail-mail addresses for credit card companies!

Why does everything have to be "in writing"????
4. What color is your front door? For the moment, white

but it's in the remodel plan

5. If you have a fan in your bathroom, does it turn on with the lights or is there a separate switch for it? a separate switch
6. Do you collect any artwork? Only from friends - I have three originals from unknown artists

7. What is your favorite sport to watch? Football To play? baseball, not that I've done that in, oh, ten years or so!!
8. What beverage to you consume the most of? Dr. Pepper - been eating a lot of fast food lately!!!

9. What promted you to get your first cat? Her mom put her in the crib with me!!

As for Bella, see #3 of Howard's questionnaire
10. What is montana like?(your surrounding area) in the words of Bruce Almighty, B-E-A-Utiful!!!!! There are mountains to my east and to my west, about thirty miles apart. The Sapphires to the east are older, more like LARGE rolling hills; the Bitterroot Range to the west is more jagged, and IMO more picturesque. My house faces southwest, so I have a great view of the sunsets over the Bitterroots!!

Wow, that sounds magnificent... now you have a picture assignment!!

Take a picture facing each direction from your house!

2. What is your most embarrassing moment?
OK, so my hubby and I were in the bookstore and I spotted a gentleman from my church, so I thought I'd introduce my hubby to him. I walked up and began making small talk with him, introduced my hubby, and asked him what he was reading. He seemed more distracted by what he was reading so I took the hint and we said our goodbyes.
I walked down the mall a few stores before I realized this was NOT the man from my church!!! He was just too polite to say, "I'm sorry you must have mistaken me for someone else!" And if that wasn't embarrassing enough, I then had to tell my hubby, who ribbed me mercilessly for a week about talking to perfect strangers!

If you were suddenly invited to the Jerry Springer show by your best friend, what would they tell you on the show, and how would you react? She would probably tell me she's carrying Kenny Chesney's love child, and I would immediately demand a paternity test and call the Enquirer (she had her tubes tied two years ago!

Starbucks- White Chocolate Raspberry Mocha
(any)Chinese- Crab Rangoon & Cashew Chicken
Subway- Sweet Onion Chicken Teriyaki 6" w/l,t,bo and NO cheese


Is it just tooo sad that I answered this in less than two minutes??????

2. Do you have any chores that you secretly like to do? um, NO! that's why they're called chores.
3. Do you have any stuffed animals? Somewhere in the basement I still have a select few of the dozens I had as a child. I had a bunk bed so I could have one bed just for my critters! Where did you get them? I do still have the teddy bear that my ex-hub gave me for my birthday - my very first gift from him, and he's well-worn

4. Do you have any calendars in your home? I have the 365 Cats wall calendar in my breakfast room
5. Have you ever taken theatre?YES, in HS and college too If so, what production were you in?
Are you ready? Here goes:
Winnie the Pooh (Piglet)
Finian's Rainbow (Chorus, but my Dad was Finian)
Godspell
Murder at Rutherford House (I played Good twin/Evil twin)
7 Keys to Baldpate (Myra ?)
Twain by the Tale
Radio 45 (a homegrown local production - I sang "Over the Rainbow")

. . . and those are just the ones I remember being on stage for! I also teched and AD'ed a lot, and I still have all my autographed playbills from the cast parties. No one famous yet, but my dad's been in a couple movies as an extra ( I can tell you exactly where to see him in Dances With Wolves! )
6. Riding Mower or Push? both - can't mow around the shrubs too well on a riding mower!
7. Silk or Suede? Silk for my jammies, suede for the comforter
8. Garbage disposal or Trash compactor? Garbage disposal *adds item to mental list for next trip to Lowe's*
9. Fat-free or Whole Milk? 1% please!
10. Caffeine or caffeine free? I drink TRIPLE shots in my lattes -- of COURSE I want CAFFEINE!!!!!!
11. Fruit or Veggies? Fruit - love summer melons!
12. What prompted you to decide to go back to school? I finally figured out that I wasn't meant to be a secretary for the rest of my life. No disrespect, but it ain't for me. And I discovered that I have a gift in being comfortable in a health-care environment, I should try to share that gift and perhaps I'll be more fulfilled. But, I'm not cut out for the clinical side of things - that was my mom's talent, but I didn't inherit it.
13. Name some interesting jobs you have had in your life? Do you really want to go to sleep this early in the evening?

Actually, I've been a deli counter person, a front desk clerk for a motel, a parts sorter for a manufacturing plant, and any various and sundry office types from answering phones to light bookkeeping.
14. Do you have a shower curtain or shower door? Shower curtain - the shower doors are in the basement, and I can't decide if I'll reinstall them.

15. What is the most special treat your kits recieve and how often? cuddles in my lap and chin scritches are the only treats my kits get right now - but I'm in the market! Pat&Alix, where are you?
