HeldDown - Check your PMs

I also asked why your cat was named Napoleon but I see you have a "couple"

We had Cassie before hand, she is named after a constellation. I wanted to name Napoleon after a constellation too, but we though he was like a stick of dynamite, so Napoleon Dynamite it was

Grill, I've never really truly "fried" anything, to be honest.

purr · Sep 4, 2005

1. Do you get up ok when the alarm goes off?

I never get up to an alarm, but I probably wouldn't get up right away.

Grill

3. The doorbell rings and you look a mess!, do you still answer it?

Yes

4. Do you get on with your neighbours?

Yep

5. Whats the worst cleaning job in the house for you?

Everything.

6. How often do you do a grocery shop?

Once a week.

7. Do you like a chocolate biscuit(cookie)or two with your coffee?

No.
8. Would you laugh at someone if they tripped up in the street

Depends on how funny it looked.

Of course I wouldn't if anyone was hurt.

9. Have you started your christmas shopping yet?

Yes & no. I do all my Christmas shopping online unless I see something when I'm shopping on the weekends, so I bookmark it and go back when it's the last possible day I can order and still get it in time for Christmas. If I get them in any sooner than that, I can't keep from giving them early! So I've started looking and bookmarking (do that all year actually), but not buying.

10. Do you do your own decorating or pay someone to do it?

I would pay someone to do it. They're professionals and I like things perfect.

11. You've had friends around. Do you clean up when they go or tackle it the next morning?

When they leave unless I'm too tired.

12. Do your cats play chase?

Yes. I only have one but he chases stuff.

13. Which do you prefer, bath or shower?

Showers. I only take baths when I want to relax.

14. Is your house alarmed?

Yes.

15. How many phones do you have in the house?

Two mobile phones--we don't use a land line.

16. Do you use fabfric softener?

Yes. Liquid on everything except Cupid's clothes and blankets because he doesn't like scents; dryer sheets on everything except Cupid stuff and towels/robes.

No.

18. Ever been to a haunted castle?

No, but I'd LOVE to!!

19. Do you like to be pampered, eg: massage, reflexology etc...

If anyone I know saw me have to answer this they'd die laughing. I'm sort of obsessed with massages. I get sculps a lot because I can't keep my nails long. I get waxed, but just because it's at a salon doesn't make it "pampering"--that's more like torture.

20. Any good vibes you would like sent?

Save your vibes for the people affected by Katrina

2. Do you prefer to grill or fry? Both are such good options! It really depends on my mood and what we're making!

3. The doorbell rings and you look a mess!, do you still answer it? Yep. I'd probably just pull my hair back and deal with it.

4. Do you get on with your neighbours? Well, I live in an apartment complex with 4 apartments in each hallway. Each of the other 3 apartments are filled with college aged guys.

7. Do you like a chocolate biscuit(cookie)or two with your coffee? I don't drink coffee, only tea for me!

10. Do you do your own decorating or pay someone to do it? Definitely decorate on my own. I'm a poor college kid!!

alexa · Sep 4, 2005

1. Do you get up ok when the alarm goes off?. Getting up is the worst part of the day for me....

2. Do you prefer to grill or fry? Usually grill. Occasionally shallow fry.

3. The doorbell rings and you look a mess!, do you still answer it? Might peek out to see who it is first!

4. Do you get on with your neighbours? Yes. Very well actually, which is quite unusual in Switzerland, especially as we are the only foreigners in our building!

5. Whats the worst cleaning job in the house for you? Bath - it's white - not a colour I would choose if this were my own house.

6. How often do you do a grocery shop? We buy stuff in fresh a few times a week, then do a big shop a couple of times a month.

7. Do you like a chocolate biscuit(cookie)or two with your coffee? I like plain biscuits with coffee that I can dunk!

8. Would you laugh at someone if they tripped up in the street

If they actually fell, my first reaction would be to see if they are OK. If it was someone I was with and they just tripped (didn't fall over), then yeah, I'll laugh my head off!

9. Have you started your christmas shopping yet? Yep. I buy things every time I go on a trip, then at the end of the year I just have to decide who gets what!

10. Do you do your own decorating or pay someone to do it? Neither. We're not supposed to decorate because the apartment isn't ours.

11. You've had friends around. Do you clean up when they go or tackle it the next morning? I usually move dishes, glasses, etc. into the kitchen at least and maybe even fill the dishwasher. Everything else gets left until the next day.

12. Do your cats play chase? Charley used to chase anything that moved.

13. Which do you prefer, bath or shower? Shower, unless I'm tired and achy, then a bath is better.

14. Is your house alarmed? No, and we often forget to lock the house

15. How many phones do you have in the house? One fixed line and 2 mobiles.

16. Do you use fabfric softener? I used to, but bf always forgets to, so I gave up buying it.

17. Do you watch soaps, if so which one? We only have a couple of channels and there's not much worth watching.

18. Ever been to a haunted castle?

Yes. I stayed in one near Edinburgh - it was beautiful.

19. Do you like to be pampered, eg: massage, reflexology etc... Love it, love it, love it! Luckily I have a bf who loves to pamper me with massage nearly every day.

20. Any good vibes you would like sent? Nothing special this week. Have a good week!

They do run around...

13. Which do you prefer, bath or shower?
Shower, bath wastes too much water and the thought of soaking in your own filth does not really excite me.

14. Is your house alarmed?
I think it is quite relaxed.. it just sits there all day.

15. How many phones do you have in the house?
3 land + 1 cell

16. Do you use fabfric softener?
No.

17. Do you watch soaps, if so which one?
I guess I watch my soaps, but I prefer to use them to clean myself. And if you must know it is Clairol fruit fusion.

18. Ever been to a haunted castle?

Yeah but it was not very interesting.

19. Do you like to be pampered, eg: massage, reflexology etc...
Not really, but I like to pamper others if given the chance...

20. Any good vibes you would like sent?

1. Do you get up ok when the alarm goes off?. Not really, I'll hit the snooze button a couple of times. Sometimes I don't even do that and I've slept in. Now I have two alarms set just in case!

2. Do you prefer to grill or fry? Depends on my mood and what it is.

3. The doorbell rings and you look a mess!, do you still answer it? Sure, I just pull my hair up and hope the rest of me doesn't look too scary!

4. Do you get on with your neighbours? I don't really associate with them.

5. Whats the worst cleaning job in the house for you? Vacuuming (thank goodness my aunt does it most of the time!)

6. How often do you do a grocery shop? We go every two weeks

I have, but now I try not to.

10. Do you do your own decorating or pay someone to do it? I do my own decorating

11. You've had friends around. Do you clean up when they go or tackle it the next morning? Depends on how late it is. I'll pick up any dishes, or things the kits could get into and finish it in the morning if they stayed late.

12. Do your cats play chase? All the time!

13. Which do you prefer, bath or shower? Shower, it's much quicker. Although I do love baths on occasion

1. Do you get up ok when the alarm goes off?.

It goes about a hour before I actually need to get up (most mornings), and I switch to the radio, while I get used to the thought of getting out of bed.

2. Do you prefer to grill or fry?

Depends on the time of year, the food and my mood.

3. The doorbell rings and you look a mess!, do you still answer it?

I'll see if I can figure out who's there (windows, peephole) in case it's someone I don't want to miss, but if I can't see, probably not.

4. Do you get on with your neighbours?

Don't know any of them particularly well. The guy downstairs is fine. The people to the south are fine, but I could cheerfully throttle their Jack Russell. The people to the north are the ones we've had trouble with about parking. The ones across the lane are no more than nodding acquaintances.

5. Whats the worst cleaning job in the house for you?

My most prized luxury is the cleaning team that comes every two weeks, so I don't have to deal with such things.

6. How often do you do a grocery shop?

Major restock of the pantry about every six to eight weeks; perishables several times a week as needed.

7. Do you like a chocolate biscuit(cookie)or two with your coffee?

I would enjoy that. I'm usually drinking my coffee with a meal, or sufficiently on the run that bikkies aren't part of the equation.

8. Would you laugh at someone if they tripped up in the street

Not to be deliberately mean, but sometimes the humour registers before anything else, so I might be guilty of it.

9. Have you started your christmas shopping yet?

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! no.

10. Do you do your own decorating or pay someone to do it?

What decorating we do, we do ourselves.

11. You've had friends around. Do you clean up when they go or tackle it the next morning?

Clean up what can go in the dishwasher, rinse anything that can't, put away perishables, pick up obvious debris, go to bed. Stemware and next dishwasher load in the morning.

12. Do your cats play chase?

Sometimes.

13. Which do you prefer, bath or shower?

To get clean, shower; to relax, bath, but I haven't done that for years.

14. Is your house alarmed?

No.

15. How many phones do you have in the house?

Five on the landline; two cell; assorted other phones not in service at the moment.

16. Do you use fabfric softener?

Dryer sheets.

17. Do you watch soaps, if so which one?

Nope.

18. Ever been to a haunted castle?

No, but I think it would be fun.

19. Do you like to be pampered, eg: massage, reflexology etc...

Haven't actually tried any of those things, but I probably would enjoy it.

20. Any good vibes you would like sent?

Oh, I think they go to Katrina's victims this week and for the foreseeable future.

Enjoy your week everyone

You too Susan
