[rapunzel47]

OK, Tara, here's another set. Kind of miscellaneous this time, and some of them have been sort of touched on already, but I'll leave them in and you can do with them what you will....


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

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

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

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

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

6. How do you like your eggs cooked?

7. What is your favourite type of movie?

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

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

1. Do you like veggies? What is your favourite?
I LOVE broccoli.

Double-steamed, please. I also enjoy corn on the cob, and sometimes creamed corn or creamed spinach.

2. Are your grandparents still alive? Do you know them well?
My only living grandparent is my maternal grandmother. My maternal grandfather passed in 2007 rather suddenly from a hemorrhage. I was very close with him and am still very close with my grandmother. They pretty much raised me for the 1st two years of my life, and I was always sleeping over and spending days with them. I try and visit my grandmother once a year, usually by vacationing there for a week. She tells me (and the rest of the family) that I'm the love of her life

She's the one I can go to about anything and she is always proud and supports my decisions. She's also one tough old lady, and says she refuses to go anywhere until at least 90

My paternal grandparents were much older because my dad was in his 40s when I was born. I believe I met them once, so I wasn't very close to them (they also lived in IN, I lived in NJ) I think I met them once when I was about two. My grandpa died in 1995, and my grandmother died in 2006 if I remember correctly.

3. When you have a 'lazy' morning, how late do you sleep in?
This morning I slept in until just before 10. Between 9-10 is the usual for my lazy weekend morning

4. Do you drive? Do you like to or is it a necessary evil?
Yep, been driving since I got my permit in 2003 and license in 2004

I love to drive. Especially on road trips! This year we're driving the 2000 miles to Colorado

Sometimes I'm not in the mood to drive, but I do enjoy it most of the time. Hubby and I drive about 30k miles a year in our Acura.

5. What is your first language? What others do you know - not necessarily fluently, but enough to be understood?
English. I dont really know any other languages enough to completely understand them. I took 2 years of French but only know the general pleasantries and introductions, and 1-10. I also know about that much in Spanish, except I can count higher than 10

I know a bit of Polish as well. Does Pig-Latin count!

6. How do you like your eggs cooked?
I used to always be a "sunny side up" girl, but now its always scrambled

7. What is your favourite type of movie?
Comedy and horror

8. When you go to a movie do you stay to read the credits?
Sometimes. Clerks II had some funny credits

9. What behaviour would you ask your cats to explain, if they could speak?
I would ask Neko why he walks around wailing at nothing in the middle of the night or when our bedroom door is closed. Or why he is so flippin' destructive!

I'd ask Nero why he feels the need to be so lovey and then curl up into an attack ball on my hand right after giving me kisses.

I'd ask Hoshi why he too chews on books

I will try and get a good pic of my grandma's ring when hubby gets home. My camera doesn't want to focus on it well by itself, so maybe it'll work if its on my finger.

1.-How long have you your fishes I mean from now? or since you get married?
The two fish tanks in the picture we've had since 2006 and 2007 - so both were before we were married (got married in 08). Moving them from one house to another was a pain!

2.-Wich one spcecie live a long time...

Our pink kissing gourami, Pinky, is the one we've had the longest out of all of them. All the fish in those tanks though are at least 3 years old!

3.- wich one item for the tank is the most expensive?
Well we go the brown tank free and the black tank for $50. I guess the stand for the black tank was most expensive - it was about $220. The big cartridge filters are the next most expensive, at about $150 each.

4.- do you put name at your fishes?
Some of them. Pinky is our pink kissing gourami, and Mr. Dempsey is our Jack Dempsey cichlid.

5.- Do you have turtles?..

No turtles, but we thought about it when we stopped using our 10 gal fish tank.

6.- doesn´t get corrotion the tanks?...

We get a lot of algae in the tropical tank because we dont have a pleco fish anymore, but the cichlid tank has a huge algae eater that keeps the tank clean

7.- what kind of water do you fill your tank?...

We put spring water in the tanks. We have a 5 gal jug we bring to Wal-Mart and fill with the spring water machines. It's about $1.33 for 5 gallons. We would use tap water, but my in-law's tap water was ph of 9 and killed all our fish, we dont want to risk it with our own tap water.

Sometimes

I got really angry at someone in real life after having a dream where she tried to poison my kitties! Its funny because sometimes Nero dreams when he's laying on my head and his little feet start moving

Hoshi LOVES to roll on his cat nip fishy pouch. He gets the funniest look on his face

6.- Wich brand do you prefer to give at your kitty in Wet and Dry food to eat?

I give them dry food - they eat Science Diet Light, since the vet told me 10lb NERO had to go on a diet (but not 17lb Hoshi!

)
