Wow, interesting stuff.

On top of that, I thought you hadn't actually been in Florida that long with the way you talk about pizza.

1. What happened to the detailed notebooks of "the family".

2. What's a movie you thought you'd hate, but you loved?

3. What was the best evening meal you had in the last 7 days?

4. If you're making dinner, what would be the number one request from your kids?

5. Will you nail my feet to the floor with rusty spikes if I ask you the broken bone question again?

1. What happened to the detailed notebooks of "the family".

If I know my former childhood friend, she still has hers. Mine, I think, was eliminated from existence in the 'Big Clean Out of '76', aka, when I went away to college my first semester, my mother threw away everything in my entire bedroom.

2. What's a movie you thought you'd hate, but you loved?
I was unsure about Meet the Fockers, but I liked it.

3. What was the best evening meal you had in the last 7 days?
Had some killer Chinese food last Friday.

4. If you're making dinner, what would be the number one request from your kids? Crazy Crunchy Chicken, at least that would be something they agreed on. That, or ravioli.

5. Will you nail my feet to the floor with rusty spikes if I ask you the broken bone question again?

Hmm, wouldn't that make you some sort of savior?

 

[lilleah]

I just always like to ask one question.

So, what is your favorite fast food place? And what do you get there?

Darn, I suppose that was two questions....But 2's good.

 

[deb25]

So, what is your favorite fast food place? And what do you get there?
I don't really eat fast food at all, but once in a great while, like every couple of years, I'll get a Whopper with Cheese and an order of onion rings from Burger King.

 

[cheeseface]

A few questions:

1. What's the worst smell to you?

2. You're alone having coffee on a quiet afternoon at home. Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. It's Frosty the Snowman. What do you do?

3. Who's your favorite male actor?

4. Who's your favorite female actor?

5. What do you do with a drunken sailer?

6. Why is "Old Smokey" covered with cheese?

7. Where is "Old Smokey"?

8. Have you ever broken anyone else's bones?

9. What do you think of A&W onion rings?

10. What do A&W onion rings think of you?

 

[deb25]

1. What's the worst smell to you?
Non-bathing, dirty underwear, b.o. people.

2. You're alone having coffee on a quiet afternoon at home. Suddenly, there's a knock at the door. It's Frosty the Snowman. What do you do?
Rejoice, because it must mean I am no longer in Florida!

3. Who's your favorite male actor?
I'd have to go with Tom Hanks.

4. Who's your favorite female actor?
I don't think I have one.

5. What do you do with a drunken sailer?
Not really sure. If it were a 'sailor' however, I'd take his boat out for a spin.

6. Why is "Old Smokey" covered with cheese?
Apparently because you haven't been there yet.

7. Where is "Old Smokey"?
Underneath the cheese? (A wild guess, really.)

8. Have you ever broken anyone else's bones?
No, but I am thinking of starting with yours.

9. What do you think of A&W onion rings?
I don't think about them. I've never met them.

10. What do A&W onion rings think of you?
They'd be thinking about how their population was about to suffer a decrease.

Good answers Deb!

 

[minerva]

Here are mine...have fun with these!

1. Do you like pc games and if so, which ones?(a certain name or genre)

2. What are the weirdest places your cats sleep or sit?

3. What is your fave plant/veggie/fruit/flower...you know what I mean

4. What gift that comes in a box would make you most happy and why?

5. Chocolate or vanilla ice cream/cookies/dessert? Any other sweets you love?


Enjoy!

 

[deb25]

1. Do you like pc games and if so, which ones?(a certain name or genre)
Not really a gamer person, outside of some solitaire and Sudoku.

2. What are the weirdest places your cats sleep or sit?
Joey's the one who will pretty much go weird places. I have caught him up on the top of my 8-ft. grandfather's clock.

3. What is your fave plant/veggie/fruit/flower...you know what I mean
If you are talking about looking at - marigolds.

4. What gift that comes in a box would make you most happy and why?
There isn't a particular something. It's the fact that a person went out of his or her way to bring a bit of joy to someone else. I got something like that today. And it's not Christmas or birthday or one of those other mandatory 'get a gift' days. After all this time, it really is the though that counts.

5. Chocolate or vanilla ice cream/cookies/dessert? Any other sweets you love?
Vanilla. And cheesecake.

 

[cheeseface]

Deb,

1. Have you ever been given good advice that you didn't take or believe at the time?

2. Did you know your name spells "bed" backwards?

3. Aren't you glad your name isn't "Dab" then?

4. What if your name was sidreilgij? That wouldn't make any sense backwards would it? In fact, it doesn't make any sense forwards does it?

5. If you had to choose between bunjee jumping and parachuting, which would you pick to try?

6. What's the strangest thing you dared to try eating?

7. Have you ever imitated the way someone speaks when he/she is yawning at the same time? (Try it!

)

8. What's the best piece of advice you could offer for life at this moment.

 

[deb25]

1. Have you ever been given good advice that you didn't take or believe at the time?
Yes, but sometimes the lesson is in making the mistakes and learning the lesson on your own.

2. Did you know your name spells "bed" backwards?
I was aware of that tightly guarded trivia.

3. Aren't you glad your name isn't "Dab" then?
Actually, it would be a welcome change.

4. What if your name was sidreilgij?I'd do my best to capitalize it when I wrote it. That wouldn't make any sense backwards would it?I personally get something I read as 'jiggly road is' out of it. In fact, it doesn't make any sense forwards does it?
About as much as Hydroaxe does.

5. If you had to choose between bunjee jumping and parachuting, which would you pick to try?
Parachuting.

6. What's the strangest thing you dared to try eating?
Sushi

7. Have you ever imitated the way someone speaks when he/she is yawning at the same time? (Try it!)
I do this all the time.

8. What's the best piece of advice you could offer for life at this moment.
It's better to build a child than repair an adult.
