Interview the person below you ~ a game

[Ransom v. Unman]

Since no one else answered his question (in accord with what we're supposed to be doing if someone ninjas an answer...)


What kind of computer are you using now?
A 2003 Sony Vaio that needs severe upgrades to its RAM and graphics card. :(

Did you ever roll an egg down a hill at Easter or is that just a British thing?

I think it's just a British thing.

...

Do you like your computer?

[Timber Wolf]

nope - don't know if it is "just" a British thing, though.

I am eagerly awaiting a phone call, and it is 11 minutes late by clock.
So my question is:
What time is it where the person below me is?

[Timber Wolf]

oh, and thanks Ransom

[Timber Wolf]

oh, and now I see Ransom added his Q:
It's OK - I may not have spent as much as I did on it, if I had waited a bit longer - meaning I would simply have gottena cheaper one, not meaning I would have waited until the price went down.

my Q stands

[Ransom v. Unman]

So my question is:
What time is it where the person below me is?

It is 8:23 PM.

...

Lion, tiger, or bear? Why?

[Xenia]

Oh my! (predictable but I still couldn't resist). Lion. I guess because of the "Lion, Witch and Wardrobe" (Jesus was the Lion)... and things like "the Lion of Judah" and the "Lion laying down with the Lamb". The Lion represents good to me..


What was the very last thing you bought?

[Timber Wolf]

gal of milk


what meal are you eating or will be your next? and what are you having / will you have?

[lynnmosher]

Breakfast is next...with one egg over easy, one piece of Ezekiel bread toasted with a little butter, and a cup of tea, no sugar.
----------

What is your favorite book of the Bible?

[ProfessorAlan]

tough one -- Job, maybe. Habakkuk?
------------------------
travelling over Easter weekend?

[Tamera]

No, only to my mother's across town. But my husband is. He has to fly to Texas for work on Easter morning. He's even going to miss church. It's the first Easter we'll be apart.

What Easter tradition do you have that you really love?

[righter1]

What Easter tradition do you have that you really love?

My hubby and I haven't really established a 'tradition' yet... probably will happen once we start having these kids. :) But, for the second year in a row, I'm working Easter Morning services at church, then have to rush off to have dinner with my side of the family--about 30 minutes away, on the other side of the Kansas City metro... I kind of like this tradition, even if it means I have to get up early... being pregnant... and I'm not a morning person...

............................

Do you camp? If so, what's your favorite camping spot?

[Tarin]

Rarely.


---------------


Are you going on a vacation this summer? Where?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Are you going on a vacation this summer? Where?
I think about the closest thing to a vacation I'm taking this Summer is going to the Cornerstone Festival (http://www.cornerstonefestival.org). The Prof should be there as well... (yes?)

...

What was the best vacation EVER for you?

[righter1]

What was the best vacation EVER for you?

Anytime I get to go to Colorado... :)

.................................

Where's one place you've never vacationed, but want to go to?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Where's one place you've never vacationed, but want to go to?
Just one?

Gee...

I think the top of my list right now would be Scandanavia.

.....

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll™ centre of a Tootsie-Pop®?

[righter1]

How many licks does it take to get to the Tootsie Roll™ centre of a Tootsie-Pop®?

Gee, I just had one of these last night! I don't know because I have a gagging problem currently and have to bite almost everything that goes into my mouth... *sigh*

................................

What was the cost per acre when America bought Alaska from Russia? (if we're going to digress into trivia...)

[ProfessorAlan]

I think about the closest thing to a vacation I'm taking this Summer is going to the Cornerstone Festival (http://www.cornerstonefestival.org). The Prof should be there as well... (yes?)

Went to '07 -- my first ever. But alas the family is doing the British Isles this summer, so no ..... but am planning to go with my daughter (and maybe wife) to '09.

[righter1]

Prof? Gonna ask a question or what? :) Though, you never answered mine, although it's trivia more than interview... ;)

[Timber Wolf]

Righter I'll answer.

$0.02 / acre

And

my question is who won the iditarod sled dog race this year? (since we went to a state near and dear to me.)

[righter1]

my question is who won the iditarod sled dog race this year?

Lance Mackey, defending champion. :) Looked it up on Wikipedia. ;)

....................

Can you touch your tongue to the tip of your nose?

[Tamera]

Yes it can. Only one out of ten can do that and I'm one of them.

What do you eat on Easter?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Can you touch your tongue to the tip of your nose?
No, but if I could... :rolleyes: :p

.....

What's some weird, freakish thing you can do with your body that others can't?

(Try to keep it rated PG I suppose, as well...)

[Ransom v. Unman]

What do you eat on Easter?

Well, it used to be eggs and chocolate, now it's whatever we get invited over for. My wife and I save most of our Resurrection remembrances and celebrations for the actual week Jesus was betrayed, killed, and raised, which happens to be the latter end of next month, this year.

...

Same question...

[righter1]

What's some weird, freakish thing you can do with your body that others can't?


I can pick up socks with my toes as well as curl my toes completely under my foot... I don't know if it's that freakish--one of my cousin's and grandmother can do it, too, but my husband think's it's bizarre...

What do you eat on Easter?

Because this is up to which side of the family we're with, I'm going to let someone else answer...


Ninja'd!!!!

Umm, okay...

Are you afraid of heights?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Are you afraid of heights?

"'I'm not going to ride on a magic carpet!' he hissed. 'I'm afraid of grounds!'
'You mean heights,' said Conina. 'And stop being silly.'
'I know what I mean! It's the grounds that kill you!'"

-Terry Pratcheet, Sourcery

Actually, I'm not terribly afraid of them. It all depends on how much of a slope I'm standing on, really...

...

What is a fear you have (or at least something that gives you the creeps...)

[righter1]

What is a fear you have (or at least something that gives you the creeps...)

Snakes...
Spiders...
Doctors...
Surgery...
Needles...


That pretty much sums it up. Actually, the doctors one is more that I think they're overly educated idiots, but then I'm having issues with doctors at the moment... The rest are pretty much self-explanatory.

.............................

Have you ever played a practical joke on someone, and if so, would care to share any details of it?

[kluchar70]

Nothing major. At work, we would do things like put salt in each others coffee or wait until someone went into the back of the freezer and shut the door and turned off the light. Ah, good times, good times.

If a tree falls in the woods, and it hits a mime, does anyone care?

[lynnmosher]

Okay, I'm going to answer two questions because the first one is fun.

Practical joke: I have stapled my husband's underwear shut, tied his socks together end to end, short-sheeted him, hidden his toothbrush, etc., etc. Haven't done anything in a while so this reminds me I need to think of something new! LOL!

Nope. Nobody cares.
-------------

What do you put in your child's/children's Easter baskets?

[Tarin]

No children, hence no baskets. ;) Actually, I try to avoid all the "pagan" trappings of the holiday anyway. Not that I condemn those who do celebrate them (after all chocolate easter bunnies are the bomb! :p), but I like to keep the focus on the basics: more of Passover celebration than an Easter celebration.

-----------

What's your favorite candy?

[Xenia]

I don't really eat candy anymore but I used to be addicted to Pecan Delights.

Do you live in a house or an apartment?

[righter1]

I don't really eat candy anymore but I used to be addicted to Pecan Delights.

Do you live in a house or an apartment?

I have to answer the candy question, since my favorites are out right now... Cadbury Creme eggs. :) But, if it's got dark chocolate and no peanut butter, I will eat it. :) Dark Chocolate Milky Way's are absolutely sinful...


Now, to Xenia's question...

I live in a house. Not terribly big, at least in the county I live, it's practically a shack! But, it's got space for my office and the baby room when it comes. :)

...........................

How often do you visit the library and how long is your typical visit?

[kluchar70]

I go to the library about once a month, and it's mostly for the kids. They load up on books and movies and we're good for another month.

If you had a chance to stage dive at a concert, would you?

[Tarin]

No.



----------


Sweet or salty?

[Timber Wolf]

Yes, of course.


Favorite color? (For Ransom, et al. - Favourite colour?)

Are you trying to buy / sell a house?

[righter1]

Are you trying to buy / sell a house?

Not presently, but my hubby and I are always looking at the market for investment properties...

....................

What was the best thing that happened to you... today???

[Ransom v. Unman]

What was the best thing that happened to you... today???

I got to the forums and started posting...

...

How badly do you wish you were still in bed right now? >_<

[Tarin]

Now that I'm out of bed, showered, and dressed, I'm actually okay... ;)



------------


How many chapters in the Bible do you generally read per day?

[Timber Wolf]

Generally is pretty, well, generic, but right now I try to read one chptr a day.
When I first started working on reading through the Bible the first time, I was trying for the requiste three, but I never seemed to make it. So now I just try to get some reading done.

Have you read through the Bible (forget the 'in a year')?

[Tamera]

Yes, I have, a number of times. But most of the time, I concentrate on certain sections.

Do you have a prayer list?

[Tarin]

Not officially - it's all in my head.


------------



How much time do you spend reading (not counting the Bible) every day?

[righter1]

How much time do you spend reading (not counting the Bible) every day?

Depends on the day... some days, it's only the time I'm in the 'library'. :p Others, I spend several hours reading (and sometimes all day if I'm not careful.) Today, for instance, I've been home and trying to keep my mind off medical problems, so I've spent about 3 hours reading. Yesterday, it was only about a 1/2 hour at church (I'd heard the sermon already while I was working), then a little tiny bit (20 minutes or less) winding down before bed. This is about average for me, I'd guess.

..........................

Are you an 'outdoors-y' type?

[Tarin]

Yes and no. I love being outdoors, but most of hobbies tend to keep me inside more than I'd like.


--------------


Favorite time of the day?

[righter1]

Yes and no. I love being outdoors, but most of hobbies tend to keep me inside more than I'd like.


--------------


Favorite time of the day?

Hey, me too! :)

Time of day... probably the evenings after dinner when I can sit down and chat with hubby, or take a walk with him... too bad this will come to an end when he's out of town... :( Makes me sad.

...........................


Do you think pets have their own personalities that can be defined in human terms?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Do you think pets have their own personalities that can be defined in human terms?

Very much so. Lailah is very poised, mature and loyal while Ze'ev is spontaneous, energetic, and attention-hogging.

....

What's the most memorable "present" a pet has given you?

[lynnmosher]

ROFL!!! Years ago, one of our cats disliked my husband. One day, he was cleaning out all his old ties and had left them in a pile on the floor for the time being, only to come back and find that the cat had peed on them!

We had another cat that loved to kill the mice and rabbits from the barn behind our house and would bring their heads as his trophies to show us! Yikes!
----------

What is your nickname? (If this has been asked, I've don't remember!)

[Tamera]

My nickname is Tammy, but I hate it. I prefer Tamera.

How many children do you have and what are their ages?

[lynnmosher]

Three, Mark 38, Matthew 35, and Meredith 32.

What is your favorite online resource for grammar help?

[righter1]

What is your favorite online resource for grammar help?

The Grammar Girl site/podcasts through QDNow.com. Very good, helpful, with little tricks to help you remember. I probably need another one, though... they haven't covered everything yet...


...........................


How many pets have you either ever had at once or had over your lifetime? (You get to choose which version, as some people may not be able to remember the latter!)

[melw]

Okay let's see

Two budgies, bluey and greenie (not imagination as a kid)

One cat - Mufti got run over accidently
Next cat - Tony (i had a crush on a guy at school)

My brother had lots of budgies (was going to breed them and did a few)

A dog called Cosmo (don't ask!!)

unfortunatly don't have any now. Except the neighbours cat Medest who comes to our place for pats and places to sleep.

MEL

Do you ask others for name ideas when creating characters?

[jacks girl]

Ok here is a two I have to answer

Read the whole Bible at least twice once as a mission when I had plursey read 10 chapters a day till all the way through. But i was on the road and riding a lot so it wasn't to difficult.

Pets Going back in time from present to past we live in the country so we've had lots of pets If you get bored skip it LOL

Dogs
Jack Max Still living ...
Puppy died heat stroke age 8 to 9 we found him so unsure of age just know how long we had him.
Bear died of heart worms at age 7 t0 10 years
Dusty died couple years after bear unsure. Learned later you can prevent heart worms...
Cat Baby put to sleep Leukemia 4 years (Didn't know there was a shot to prevent this terrible disease.
Chico a pet when i was a child got him from a friend
Virgina a cat that we brought back to Ky
Smokey a cat
We had many other dogs and cats, when you live in the country sometimes they run away, are stolen or etc or you can't keep them because they chase chickens or won't stay in the yard.. etc
and also people drop them off on you a lot... instead of dealing with them their self.
many fish couple hamsters many baby Robins one blue jay all nursed and feed bologna until big enough to fly. at least 6 more dogs and 6 more cats.

Question to Melw What is a budgies.

Next Question. Where all have you lived since a child. States, different countries, city- country, house- apartment.

Jacks

[righter1]

Next Question. Where all have you lived since a child. States, different countries, city- country, house- apartment.


When I was born, I lived in the hospital for a day or two... ;)

Seriously, lived in Wichita (2 different houses) until age 5, then we moved to the country about 30 miles from there. We lived on 1.5 acres for 10 years, then on just shy of 9 acres for another 4.5 years (both of these places were within 2 miles of each other.) There was a BIG hill on the property, a creek and a pond with an island, and lots of trees. After my parents split up, my Dad and sister and I moved to town, about 10 miles south of where we'd been, and lived in a house. Then, a year later, I got married and moved to the BIG CITY (Kansas City) where Hubby & I lived in an apartment for a bit more than a year, then bought our house, which we've been in for 4.5 years. I much prefer the country to the city. Right now, there's a yippy dog across the street that's been 'crying' for probably an hour.

..............................

What do you think your blind spot is when you write your stories--what you need other people to come up behind you and tell you, hey, there's something wrong here?

[Tarin]

If I knew it was my blind spot, it wouldn't be my blind spot, now would it? :p As far as weaknesses go, however, I'd have to say scene transitions. At least, that's something I'm struggling with at the moment... :rolleyes:

Do you wear glasses?

how was your Easter service?

[righter1]

how was your Easter service?

Wonderful. :) We had 9 services over 3 days at my church. :)

................................

What's the most deserted place you've ever been to (i.e., how far away were you from the nearest town/restaurant/gas station/person).

[Ransom v. Unman]

sunlight, actually.

That wasn't an option, Prof.

/fail

What's the most deserted place you've ever been to (i.e., how far away were you from the nearest town/restaurant/gas station/person).

There's some place in Texas when you're going up I-35 from the Gulf Coast (or at least I think it's I-35) where there's a gas station, and then there's an official highway sign that says "Last gas station for 50 miles."

When we were about twenty-five miles into that, I think that's probably the most remote location I've ever been to...

.....

What's the most densely populated place you've been to?

[Timber Wolf]

Anywhere off the highway in Alaska. Lost lake is about 7 miles back from our old house. Then there were the fishing holes, etc., hmmmmm deserted was a way of life where I grew up.


What is the shortest time you have ever lived anywhere, what is the longest? (what was the move, what was the reason?) Sorry for such a multi-part Question.

[Timber Wolf]

Ninjaed - Pick one:
San Antonio, TX; Miami, FL; Anchorage, AK; Seattle, WA

Question stands.

[righter1]

What's the most densely populated place you've been to?

Times Square, New York City...

Or perhaps, Phoenix, Arizona... But probably NYC ;)


What is the shortest time you have ever lived anywhere, what is the longest? (what was the move, what was the reason?) Sorry for such a multi-part Question.

Shortest... probably a house where I lived when I was born, I think we were there about a year. (Don't know the reason we moved.)

Longest, a house where we lived for 10 years out sort of in the country in South Central Kansas. Reason for leaving there: Mom wanted to move. *sigh*


.............................................

What is your favorite magazine and why?

[Xenia]

Golf Digest. It's nice to see my husband read something once in a while :).

Do you play the lottery?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Do you play the lottery?

The poor tax? No. No I don't. And I discourage everyone I know from doing it as well.

...

What is your favourite card game?

[ProfessorAlan]

Texas Hold 'em

Who's your favourite superhero?

[Timber Wolf]

I like Batman and Green Arrow, cause they are highly skilled / trained w/out actually having "superpowers."


Quick - without looking, how are the stars on an AMerican flag arranged.

[Ransom v. Unman]

I like Batman and Green Arrow, cause they are highly skilled / trained w/out actually having "superpowers."


Alternating rows of five and six, with four of five and five of six.

Yes?

(Gah, I hope I'm right! I'll feel mad stupid if I'm not...)

What's your favourite flag BESIDES any flags representing any place you live now or have lived for an extended period of time?

*EDIT* Yes! I was right! VICTORY!

[righter1]

What's your favourite flag BESIDES any flags representing any place you live now or have lived for an extended period of time?


I kind of like Ireland's flag... it's nice and simple. And, if memory serves, Alaska's is pretty. Never been either of those places. :)

Where's your favorite place to write? Home? Subway? Starbucks? Elsewhere?

[Tarin]

At home, definitely. I'm a creature of habit.

How often do you buy new music?

[ProfessorAlan]

Just got an iPod at Christmas, so I bought a bunch in Jan, but now buy a few new songs a month. I also just bought 3 CDs (Jet Circus, Dave Perkins, and Rachel Rachel) via ebay to replace casettes that I don't play, for fear that the next time they play will be the last time they play ...
-------------------------
Planning to watch anything on TV tonight?

[righter1]

How often do you buy new music?

When I get bored with all my stuff, or when a song or artist I've heard on the radio or Accuradio catches my ear... Hubby tries to keep my music buying to a minimum, since he says my taste is nowhere near his. :rolleyes: Now, can I help that?

Do you usually root for the good guys or the bad guys?

[Rachel E.]

The good guys in most movies, which is what I assume you are talking about. But there is one movie that I like, called "No deposit, No return" that I root for the bad guys. Namely, Darren McGaven and Don Knotts. Those guys are a riot!

Ok. What is your favorite book? Besides the Bible, I mean...

OK, so who designed Alaska's flag, where did he live, when did he design it, what was the story behind his designing it?

:) I just remember reading the story of it's creation back in grammar school... I don't remember the kid's name, but I know he wasn't very old--maybe early teens--possibly younger? He designed it--I think--in 1959 when Alaska became a state. And, if my memory serves me, when Alaska became a state, they had a contest for all the school children to design the flag. He submitted his drawing and it was chosen as the winner.

Now, it's been a while since I've SEEN the flag, but it has a constellation--the Big Dipper--on it, methinks? I just remember the beautiful story behind the designing of it more than the actual image being emblazoned on my brain.



There seems to be a few other questions floating around right now; I'll let those stand instead of adding to the confusion.

I don't think it's a novel but I'm reading battlefield of the Mind (Joyce Myers) and it's going to impact my life.

If you have pets in the house how often do they go outside do you walk them or do they run around free in the yard.

I wish more of you would jot down a couple answers to more than one question I know it's changing the rules of the game but some of these questions are really good and its bugging me that I don't get to see what more of you think.

Nosey Jack

[Xenia]

Safely Home by Randy Alcorn. I think every Christian should read it! It's impact on me was in many many ways but especially to remember what really matters... salvation! And, that in some parts of the world when people "go forward to give their lives to Christ"... they know that they may literally be giving their life.

What strikes your funny bone the best? What sense of humor? For example is it... Dry, sarcastic, slap-stick??? like that.

If you have pets in the house how often do they go outside do you walk them or do they run around free in the yard.



both my cats are declawed, and one of them is petrified of the outdoors. The other will sneak out if we're not paying attention. She gets to go out for a monitored visit out of doors when it's nice outside, usually for a few minutes, otherwise she'll try to make a break for it. :p

What strikes your funny bone the best? What sense of humor? For example is it... Dry, sarcastic, slap-stick??? like that.


I like intelligent humor, quick, dry humor too. I love the old vaudevillian types--George Burns, Jack Benny, Abbott & Costello and the Mark Brothers. So much better than most of todays humorists...

I like a bit of slapstick, but it has to be tastefully done.

...............................

Who's your favorite comedian and why?

Jerry Lewis. He was a brilliant comedian and could use facial expressions to change his appearance long before Jim Carey came along. It's a shame that some of his movies aren't on more often so this generation could enjoy them.

[Tamera]

I would give up smell. Half the time, I can't smell anything because of my allergies anyway.

If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

[Timber Wolf]

:) I just remember reading the story of it's creation back in grammar school... I don't remember the kid's name, but I know he wasn't very old--maybe early teens--possibly younger? He designed it--I think--in 1959 when Alaska became a state. And, if my memory serves me, when Alaska became a state, they had a contest for all the school children to design the flag. He submitted his drawing and it was chosen as the winner.

Now, it's been a while since I've SEEN the flag, but it has a constellation--the Big Dipper--on it, methinks? I just remember the beautiful story behind the designing of it more than the actual image being emblazoned on my brain.



There seems to be a few other questions floating around right now; I'll let those stand instead of adding to the confusion.


ding, Ding, DING!
Benny Beson designed the flag as part of a contest. It conatains the Big Dipper pointing to the North Star. He lived in Seward at the AK Children's home (where, BTW, my mom worked, she told me about the kids trying to steal Vanilla from the kitchen to try to get drunk off of it). He created the desing at age 13, (well before statehood though) in 1927.

(Can you tell I'm homesick for AK? :D)

[righter1]

Say you've been kidnapped by goblins or something, and they won't let you go unless they take away one of your five senses. Which one would you give up? Why this and not the others?

Sense of smell. Mine's not that great anyway, but it would at least keep me from smelling coffee and peanut butter. :p

.....................................

What's the worst smell that you can think of?

[ProfessorAlan]

1. Durian (Thai fruit) -- tastes good, but whoa the smell!
2. Outer Banks?
------------------------
A good smell?

[Tarin]

Rain.

Do you drink coffee? Favorite kind?

[Timber Wolf]

Well no, not regularly. If you see me doing so, Run. Run far, far away, as fast as you can. Run, run, run! It's not a pretty sight to see TW on caffine. (When I do it's usually somehting w/ chocolate - and maybe mint, to cover up as much coffee taste as I can.) (Blech, coffee - nasty!)


OK, another AK Q:
What is the state song of Alaska?

[Ransom v. Unman]

OK, another AK Q:
What is the state song of Alaska?

The mating call of a bull-moose?

...

Moose versus giant sloth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_sloth) – who wins?

[TanyaSue]

Hmmm ... that's tough. I'm going to say Moose because the sloth is probably quite ... slothy. :)

...

Who's your favorite superhero? Any why?

[jacks girl]

Say you've been kidnapped by goblins or something, and they won't let you go unless they take away one of your five senses. Which one would you give up? Why this and not the others? I'm bigger then most Goblins so I'd just push my way out and escape LOL...

Superman of course. He only has one weakness and I know more about him thanks to Smallville. LOL He can also fly, leap building and he has a really cool outfit..

I can see West Virgina a few tall mountains, and a lot of Trains going by, trees a bird house and a old hay rake and some times my uncle burning his trash....out my back door oh yea and the river and a gully.

Toot Toot Toot what do you see looking out your back door. LOL

[Ransom v. Unman]

Toot Toot Toot what do you see looking out your back door. LOL

Nothing. I don't have a back door.

...

Can I re-answer this question saying what I see outside my back window? :p

[Cymrugirl]

No

How many languages do you speak?

[TanyaSue]

No

How many languages do you speak?

LOL! You're funny.

I speak one: English. But I also sign (American Sign Language). I've studied Hebrew, German, Spanish, French and Bosnian, but am fluent in none.

...

What do you see out your front window? :D

[jacks girl]

I see another tall mountain,the top of my mothers house, the graveyard where my granny, papa and little baby lies. Some dead looking trees and a barn that belongs in the family and is close to 100 years old if not older.

Ok what do you all see our your back window....LOL

[TanyaSue]

A shed, a plastic play house, a fence and my neighbors' houses. (Ransom, you gotta be quicker if you want to tell us what you see!! :) )

...

Greatest fear?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Ok what do you all see our your back window....LOL

THANKS!

I see the Manhattan skyline, most of the borough of Brooklyn, several buildings with a thrift store, a Chinese restaurant, a bodega, and a tire store among them, and the Bay Parkway N train station. :)

...

Have you ever gone mountain climbing? If so, where's your favourite (or only) place you've been?

[jacks girl]

I have OCD so i must skip this question it would be to lengthy for me to answer.

pass

[Ransom v. Unman]

A shed, a plastic play house, a fence and my neighbors' houses. (Ransom, you gotta be quicker if you want to tell us what you see!! :) )
I can't help it if it takes some time for me to remember everything I see from my back window while I'm at work! :p


Greatest fear?
Good question...

That I'm wrong. Not just wrong about "whatever" but that I'm wrong about really fundamental things upon which my life was based. I liked it a lot better when my biggest fear was rejection, frankly, but that's life...

...

Question still stands.

[TanyaSue]

No. I'm terrified of heights. I much prefer water, so ...

...

What's your favorite water sport?

[Timber Wolf]

Jet skiing ( or watching the boat races- actually photographing the boat races would be even better, and if Ransom can give the answer of a bull-moose to my Q, then I can say Photography is a sport).


My question is why doesn't Ransom take the time to look up a simple question o the internet. Never said no reasearch on this one, just that AM flag one.

[Ransom v. Unman]

My question is why doesn't Ransom take the time to look up a simple question o the internet. Never said no reasearch on this one, just that AM flag one.
I didn't look it up because I was curious about what your response might be. I am now charting these results in an experiment that I'm submitting for peer review.

(All of that was true except for the second sentence.)

...

Did you know that "Alaska's Flag (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska%27s_Flag)" is the state song of Alaska?

[Timber Wolf]

LOL - You say it's all true except the second sentence. I am wondering about the veracitiy of the first as well. :D



Is that your question - "Did 'I' know?"?
Of course I knew -

Alaska's Flag, may it mean to you,
Eight Stars of Gold on a field of Blue,

Alaska's Flag May it mean to you.

NO I don't have the whole thing memorized. Just a few lines.



OK - what is the "Official" distance of the Iditarod sled dog race?

[JayBee]

about 1,151 miles

what is your favourite season and why?

[jacks girl]

I like Fall, it is a great time for songwriting, and beautiful colors. It makes me melancholy but yet I love that time of year. I also like winter cause most of the bugs are gone. LOL

Any of you have a Security Camera??
I do now.

[Timber Wolf]

JB - close the official distance is 1049 miles.

No security Camera - just a watch cat and a couplea handguns.


I was gonna ask Jack's this specifically, but I'll just make it my quesiton for the person below me:

What do you consider to be a "tall" Mt.?

[melw]

A tall mountain is something that has snow. here is Australia we have mountains, but most don't get snow. We only have a small area that get snow usually only in Winter. That is my opinion


What do you like to play games on your computer? And what ones? (is that two questions?)

MEL

[kluchar70]

Battle For Middle Earth

If you could travel through time, where and when would you go?

Ok.
How many words do you write a day, typically?

[righter1]

Did you know peanuts are not actually nuts?

No, I didn't. What are they then? (This is not my question.)

......................


Do you know what your state's state song is? If so, do you know the words?

I shall grace you with Kansas'...

Home on the Range

Oh give me a home, Where the buffalo roam
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard, A discouraging word
And the sky is not cloudy all day

(Chorus)
Home, home on the range
Where the deer and the antelope play
Where seldom is heard
A discouraging word
And the sky is not cloudy all day.

:)

[Timber Wolf]

They're legumes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Legumes).


What is your favorite nut?

[Timber Wolf]

Ninjaed (twice)

In answer to Rachael's Q: I don't keep track.
To Righter - Is that really the state song? And yes I do (see earlier posts re AK state song = "Alaska's Flag."

Q stands.

[righter1]

To Righter - Is that really the state song? And yes I do (see earlier posts re AK state song = "Alaska's Flag."


Yes, it really is. :) Grew up with it, I should know...

And, ah... you're wrong! You live in Washington, not Alaska! I doubt that Washington has a state song that honors Alaska!!! :p

I'll leave your question up as I don't have the energy to answer or the brain left to think of my own question to ask tonight...

[Timber Wolf]

1) I was wondering if you were funnin me (us). I sang that as a kid, never knew it was any state song.

2) I reside in WA, but you said "your state" WA is not "my state," AK is, regardless of where I happen to lay my head.

I guess my earlier Q stands.

G'night all.

[Xenia]

Cashews!

What's the most recent thing you can remember that was funny?

[PattyU]

I thought a Gieco insurance commercial was very funny. It caught me off guard when the "celebrity spoke person" was Mrs. Buttersworth. It may not sound that funny now, but I thought it was very funny at the time because I wasn't expecting Mrs. Buttersworth. I'm not sure why I thought it was so funny, but I did. Just call me weird. For those too young to remember Mrs. Buttersworth, she is a talking bottle of pancake syrup.

What is your educational background, major etc.?

[Timber Wolf]

BS in Software Engineering Technology,
AAS in Business - emphasis in Computer Information Systems


And wanted to get MS in Software. Now I am not sure. With the Bible study I've been doing I've been thinking about a degree in apologetics, etc.


So tha tis my next question: If you were to continue your education, what degree would you pursue?

[Xenia]

I would definitely get degrees in Forestry and Journalism.

Since I was little I've always had a sense of destiny - that there was something I was meant to accomplish. Do you have that sense too?

[dramsey]

I get up and say good morning to my sweet babies DEE DEE and Lady DI {my indian ringneck birds} and then go fix me a cup of very stout coffee.

Question: What's your favorite color and why?

[Tarin]

Blue - any shade. Very calming.

With the exception of the computer, what can you hear right now?

[righter1]

With the exception of the computer, what can you hear right now?

Murmur of people around me, the radio that I'm listening to (Rush Limbaugh--one of my favorite male voices!), my own sniffles as I seem to be fighting a cold...

..........................................

How many hours of TV do you think you watch in any given week?

[Ransom v. Unman]

How many hours of TV do you think you watch in any given week?

If we count The Office on Netflix, about an hour-and-a-half.

If we don't count that, then none. :)

...

How much time do you spend watching movies on any given week?

[Gina123]

I'll jump in again (I've been reading over your answers---interesting group you are!)

I probably don't average even an hour a week watching a movie. I've been to a regular movie theater maybe half a dozen times total and only occasionally rent or buy one. Thats mainly because I'm a book phene!

so, my question....

when you watch a movie, what is your favorite type to watch just for the fun and relaxation of it?? (chick flick, adventure, sci-fi etc...)

[righter1]

when you watch a movie, what is your favorite type to watch just for the fun and relaxation of it?? (chick flick, adventure, sci-fi etc...)

STAR WARS!!!!!

I also like comedies--old and new. :) And lots of action movies--recently saw the first two Die Hard flicks and want to see the rest.


................................

Who is the most interesting person alive that you know?

[kluchar70]

Besides me?:) My sister's father-in-law. He is a college professor and has traveled extensively. I always enjoy his stories.

Do you consider yourself a melancholy person?

[Xenia]

No, I consider myself a tired person which comes across as a meloncholy person!

Do you play "table" games? ie; dominoes, checkers, risk, cards? If so, which ones?

[Timber Wolf]

When I've got somebody to play. I'll play pretty much anything.


THis question seems to have been missed:




Since I was little I've always had a sense of destiny - that there was something I was meant to accomplish. Do you have that sense too?

[Tarin]

Yes. Not completely sure what *it* is yet though... :p


---------------



What was the last movie you watched?

[righter1]

What was the last movie you watched?

I'm almost embarrassed to admit this one... 'The Air Up There' with Kevin Bacon. Early to mid 1990s.



.............................

What's the most memorable birthday you've ever had--and how old did you turn?

[jacks girl]

My Tv is on almost all the time.
Don't play games much at all.

I have never been to a movie theater to see a Movie unless you count the Ky horse park where we watched a film on horses.

What's the most memorable birthday. It's not a good memory. Not sure think I was 38. My ears were singing to me from Tinnitus. I'd just retired from traveling with my husband for 18 years. My life was upside down I was so depressed and on the edge of an emotional fall. The lord helped me crawl out of that mess. To the mess LOL I am today. It's my mess and I'm used to it for now but I'm still moving up.

Jacks

Sorry forgot to post a question. Are you hooked on a TV show now or ever that you can't miss?

[righter1]

That sounds like a memorable birthday, although depressing! :(


Sorry forgot to post a question. Are you hooked on a TV show now or ever that you can't miss?

Growing up, it was Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman. Now, it's Bones on FOX. Something with the interplay between the two main characters on that show really gets me going. :) I'll be glad when April 14 rolls around and they start airing Bones again.


......................

I'm starting to run out of things to ask!

Hmm...

What's your favorite author?

What TV character is famous for being silver, waving his arms and often crying "danger, danger"?

[PattyU]

What TV character is famous for being silver, waving his arms and often crying "danger, danger"?

I believe it's Lost in Space's Robby the Robot.

[righter1]

I believe it's Lost in Space's Robby the Robot.

What ministries are you involved in? Teaching Sunday School, children's minisitry, leading worship and so on........

I'm glad you answered that 'cause I would have said somebody from Mork & Mindy, but then I'm a bit young and don't have cable to know the older shows very well!

Ministries... I'm in the Worship Arts department at my church. This quarter, I've worked every other weekend in the light booth for 3 services. I've been doing this for around 4 years (I think--it's hard to remember) and really, really enjoy it. I've been around longer than our worship pastor and the technical director! :)

.............................

Are you a part of or lead a small group or Bible study? If so, what are you studying now?

[Timber Wolf]

Just Sunday school and Wed night Bible study.
Sun we study theology and Wed we are going through "The Truth Project."

Have you ever gone hunting / target shooting / etc.?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Have you ever gone hunting / target shooting / etc.?
Yes. It was a blast! (Literally...)

I'm actually a pretty good shot, I discovered. I have consistency, I don't overcompensate for blowback too badly. When we were skeet-shooting, I nailed nine out of ten. It felt pretty awesome!

...

What is your favourite type of meat?

[Tarin]

Depends entirely how it's prepared, but probably chicken.

Aqua and white.

WHY DON'T YOU?!?

After the balled-sock debacle, I refuse to answer this question...

I'll answer it. No, because I'm lazy when it comes to dental hygene.

What is your earliest childhood memory?

[Gina123]

earliest childhood memory?

Jumping off a porch and yelling "bombs over Tokyo" (does that date me??)
(had no idea what that meant or where we kids picked it up)

question:
Do you include animals in your stories/ novels? More than just a passing mention?

[jacks girl]

Ohio has rolling hills, Ky and wv have tall mountains and out there where you are Timber is Huge mountains. Trust me I've been across Fancy Gap, Cabbage, and Truckee. I know our Mountains are not as big as yours. LOL

I have many animals in my stories.

Teabag is cat in my story. I have my little critters thinking, all the time. I have a pack of wolves also that hangs out with Teabag. I love to wonder what the animals think all the time. So often I have them looking at my MC and others giving their opinion on various things.

Where is Fancy Gap? Cabbage Or Truckee? Anyone know and if you know their elevation you get a gold star. LOL!!

[righter1]

question:
Do you include animals in your stories/ novels? More than just a passing mention?

I'm not taking a stab at Jacks' question... I have no clue!


As for Gina's, yes. I do. I have a Yellow Labrador Retriever in my current WIP named Roxie who's a handful. She's become a character in and of herself, and everyone seems to love her that reads the story.

Jacks' question still stands....

[jacks girl]

LOL Righter is my question too hard. These are nick names mostly so you may not find them if you google.

Where is Fancy Gap? Cabbage Or Truckee? Anyone know and if you know their elevation you get a gold star. LOL!!

Without looking it up - I'm gonna say Appalachians (sp?)
and I'm gonna say elev somewhere around a whopping 2,000 ft.

You're right Jacks - we have Mts. We consider the bumps in the road in the east, well, just that, bumps in the road.

I thought righter had had a Q:

OK - anybody know where I am heading? In about 5 mins.

Cheers.

TW

[jacks girl]

I'm not sure if the Carolinas is considered the Appalachians. and it's a whopping 3100 feet. LOL. it's Fancy Gap. I'm not telling where Cabbage or truckee is...Remember I'm a trucker and have been everywhere.. Muahhhahhha.

I like your new pic a lot better Timber.

I'm gonna guess you're going to eat.

Put my question to the side if you want Righter and Timber add another... May be someone will get them later. But I doubt anyone will figure out Cabbage unless they are a trucker.

[Cymrugirl]

What does the desk/workspace look like that you are sitting at right now?

I am sitting in an lounge chair with my feet propped up typing on a notebook computer. The more comfortable I am, the longer I write.

Did you do you supper dishes last night or this morning?

Both, as usually after I do the dishes, the wife goes and makes something or drinks something else, leaving me with more dishes to wash up after breakfast/before work. :rolleyes:

Always. :(

What's your favourite outdoors physical activity?

I was outside last also at lunch... but I went to Target to pick up a couple things then napped in my car with the windows down and the radio on. :rolleyes:


I like to hike and walk with my hubby... can't do it for a while still with the pregnancy still a bit fragile. :mad:

------------

Do you exercise regularly, and if so, what's your routine like?

[jacks girl]

Exercise.. is that where you get up from the computer to get a glass of Chocolate milk and some BBQ tater chips. LOL. I do have a very exp treadmill. That i usually forget to walk on. But my fingers are really skinny. LOL. I would like to be on a schedule but just can't seem to get on one.

Jacks

How many of you have treadmills that you do or don't walk on.

[Tarin]

I work out every morning for about 30 minutes: stretches, planks, stomach crunches, step-ups, and 15 minutes of skipping rope.

Nope.

And Jack's you were wrong - I wasn't going to go eat.

Does anybody know where I just got back from? and what I am waiting on an email and/or phone call about?

[Rhadaghast]

Yes: Your article was accepted and you are waiting to hear.

It is hard to jump in the middle of these types of things.
here goes.

What is the most puzzling verse you have run into in the bible?

[lynnmosher]

Where Cain's wife came from...

-----------

If this has been asked, forgive me...what is your favorite Bible story?

[dramsey]

David and Goliath because it shows us that size and stature does not matter. It is the fact that we put all of ourselves in the hands of God to do with as He sees fit and that with Him and through Him nothing is impossible. We have total faith in God.

What is the most awesome experience that you have ever had in God, besides your conversion experience?

[shannonmamabear]

Ouch,
There are so many but I'll be honest and share the one that sprang to mind when I read your question.
At thirteen I visited a friends church, was overwhelmed by the presence of God and walked the isle. (Be patient, I know no conversion stories, I'm getting to it...) At home my Dad told me It didn't count as going to church because it wasn't our denomination.
For years I walked a painful, sinful existence not knowing who I was-A child of the King. But in my heart I know I was saved.
Well a couple of years later, I was 16, had lied to my dad about where I was going, I was high and pregnant. I was walking down the street telling a loud cuss ridden story. I don't think I could have been much more steeped in sin at that particular moment, and then it happened.
A stranger, a woman, broke thru the crowd and approached me.
She said, "God wants you to know He loves you, and He knows what you are going thru. He has a plan for you. He loves you." And then she was gone.
My Real Father didn't wait till I was actin right to tell me He loved me, He told me when I couldn't have been more unlovely.
Wow, sorry that was so long...

Anyways, do you live where you grew up?

[Xenia]

This is one:

A scene from several years ago when I was in a time of struggling in my relationship with the Lord.
I am angry and hurt after a fight with hubby. I’m in my car driving to work and I’m ranting out loud.… “he doesn’t really love me! If he really loved me he wouldn’t treat me the way he does, he wouldn’t act the way he does. There is no way that he can love me and behave the way he does… no way!” I was so upset and totally inside my own head and emotions when right in the middle of this pity party here comes a still quiet voice saying… “yes, I know. I know just how you feel”. I thought I would have to pull the car over. It was such a heartbreak to me to suddenly have the words I was saying about the proof of love be handed back to me by the Holy Spirit… that He knew how I felt because this was how I was treating Him! I will never forget it and even now it makes me cry…

(oh, and me and hubby are fine - just a dumb argument - you know...)

How do you sleep at night... back, stomach, side?

[jacks girl]

on my back or side propped up with big pillows cause i have a little sleep apema.

Jacks.

When do you go to bed?

[Rachel E.]

Umm... mainly my side..but sometimes my back.

If you had the option to do your beginning relationship with your significant other over again and you dated, would you do courtship?

I hope that made sense! lol

[Rachel E.]

oops Sorry Jacks! posted at the same time.

lets see, to answer your question... about 10:30

What time do you get up? On week days (or work days) and week ends?

What did you eat for supper?

[Rachel E.]

Shepherd's pie, a layered casserole with meat, vegies and mashed potatoes topped in cheese. VERY good!

last question still standing...

[jacks girl]

I missed it somehow Rachel.

Through the week if Hubby is working i get up at 8. If' he's not working it's hard to tell cause we sit too late.

Do you budget your money. Or just buy anything? Impulse buyer or do your hoard your money?

[mel3]

Impulse. I buy stuff I dont even want. I think its an illness!


Do you have a tattoo?

[ProfessorAlan]

No tattoos.
-------------------
wackiest hair style you've ever had?

[righter1]

What did you eat for supper?

Hubby and I went to Chili's and I had about half of my chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and steamed broccoli (the rest is lunch today!) I had what the called an Arnold Palmer with a splash of strawberry (basically 1/2 iced tea, 1/2 strawberry lemonade.)


What time do you get up? On week days (or work days) and week ends?

It's dependent on my schedule for the most part on weekends (and whether I can stay asleep.) Typically on weekends I get up somewhere between 8 and 9:30. On work days (M-F), I'm usually starting to prowl by 7. My alarm goes off much earlier. I'm going to have to get used to hubby not being around, though... :(


Do you budget your money. Or just buy anything? Impulse buyer or do your hoard your money?

I budget as much as I possibly can... but it doesn't mean I always stick to it 100% where things like gas and groceries are concerned. Right now is transition time: hubby's new job, being out of town, etc., so I know my budget is going to get a lot more flexible until we get a new pattern set down.

But, I also usually have a bit of 'whatever' money in the weekly spread... If I want to go to Borders or he needs parts for the cars, it's there, but I tell him how much he's allowed!


Do you have a tattoo?

Nope, can't stand needles.


wackiest hair style you've ever had?

A perm that made me look like a white Whoopi Goldberg.


...............................

What's your biggest fear?

[Timber Wolf]

Fear - fear that I will not trust God as I should and will go of and do something stupid to hurt His name, and my family

What magazines do you subscribe to/read regularly?

Ach! This was going to be my next question!!! :)

I subscribe to 'Backyard Living', 'Personal Real Estate Investor' and 'Taste of Home' and have been meaning to subscribe to 'The Writer' and 'Writers Digest'. The latter two I usually pick up at Borders monthly/bi-monthly.


.............................

How would others describe your personality?

[Tarin]

Focused, organized, and phlegmatic-choleric. :rolleyes:


--------------


What's your fatal flaw?

[mel3]

Going into my own world too much. Short attention span.

Countryside or city?

[Timber Wolf]

When you add two hands. Or two feet.


What are you doing this summer?

[Tarin]

Except for a week at a friend's ranch in Wyoming, I get to stay home. :)


------------


When did you last laugh? At what?

[TanyaSue]

Today. My kids. They're always doing something hysterical. My daughter (age 4) said she needs to put money in her piggy bank every day. When I asked her what the money was for, she replied: "I need lots of money because I want to get married. I want to find a man who will take all my money and be my husband." :D lol. It still cracks me up!

-------
What's your favorite drink/beverage?

Snickers frappaccinos??? Where do you get those?? Wow! Sounds heavenly.

On the walls of the room I am in ... well, red paint, white tiles, white cabinets (I'm in my kitchen), a mail basket, our doorbell, light switches and two paintings with Psalm 100:1-2 and tulips on them.

Have you seen anything weird today?

[Timber Wolf]

When you add two hands. Or two feet.

...



Nice try - that's actually almost the answer.
anybody else wantta try? (when does 1+1 = 10?)



....



Have you seen anything weird today?

I looked on the mirror. :o

Ummm, I guess not.

Do you paint, draw, do photography? If yes, what?

[TanyaSue]

What do you mean I got it wrong? 1 hand + 1 hand = 10 fingers. Are you saying there is ONLY ONE right answer?? :cool:

Alright, enough moaning ... answer the question ... yes! I do photography. I also used to draw and paint. I went to art school for a year before pursuing missions. However, when I did go to Europe for church-planting I was able to teach art in Switzerland for a short while. Pretty cool.

------
What color is your bedroom?

[mel3]

green walls and a painting of space on the ceiling.


whats your fave joke?

[TanyaSue]

Knock, knock.
Who's there?
Cows.
Cows who?

Oh, wait ... you said MY favorite joke! I thought you meant my kids' favorite joke. Ellie tells this one like ten times a day. :p

Favorite vacation spot?

[righter1]

I have no clue as to Timber Wolf's riddle...



What color is your bedroom?

It's blah right now... dingy white walls, brown doors, with various wedding pictures hung randomly on the walls.


whats your fave joke?

I don't really have a favorite... it's usually the last one I heard. My problem is I don't really enjoy (so much) the ultra-short variety... the ones I really have a belly laugh about are lengthy to tell. :rolleyes:



Favorite vacation spot?

Colorado. Easily. A distant 2nd is probably Arizona.

[jacks girl]

Favorite question asked thus far, neither asked, nor answered by you, and your answer to it.

[Timber Wolf]

What is a question that was asked already by someone other than you and that you did not get a chance to answer., and what is your answer to said question?

[Rachel E.]

What are on the walls of the room you're in?

answer: Cream walls, one painted randomly with a faux woolie... pics', posters, sibling's schoolwork, and other random things...

Same question as TW's!

[righter1]

What is a question that was asked already by someone other than you and that you did not get a chance to answer., and what is your answer to said question?

I can't remember if I answered it or not and I'm too lazy to go back and look, but the one about what church you go to.

Westside Family Church (http://www.westsidefamilychurch.com/) in Lenexa, Kansas. It's loosely affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and we have three campuses (or campi, depending on which pastor is speaking.) My husband and I've been members there for about 4 years, been going about 5. We've got about 4500 members or so (I think). Regular attendance is that level or higher. Not sure exactly.


.......................

What's the worst weather event you've ever lived through? (Tornado, hurricane, blizzard, earthquake, etc.) Do you know about how old you were at the time?

[Timber Wolf]

1964 Alaskan Earthquake. Originally 8.6 on Richeter (sp?) scale, upgraded to something like 9.2. The largest earthquake to hit the NA continent. Thankfully, because of sparse pop density, the death toll was light. I was three.

(Note: have also been through the worst earthquakes in 50+ yrs in WA, and in OR)


If you turn 180 degrees what do you see?

Hmm... do you REMEMBER that earthquake when you were 3???


If I turn 180 degrees, I see my co-workers on my team and my bosses office and the windows that should be open because it's so dreary in here, but one of the leads doesn't like them open because of glare on her computer screens.



..............................


What's the best job you've ever had?

[Timber Wolf]

Well, a lot of what I remember I've never been sure of what was told to me later, and what I actually recollect. I do remember my GM yelling down into the well that my GP and Uncle were in, working on the water pump, to get out. I remember my mom had some bubble bath balls, and the container fell off the shelf and broke and the balls were rolling all over the floor. I don't remember being scared - don't know if I was smart enough to be scared - or just thought it was a fun roller-coaster ride.


Best Job - hmmmm. Unpaid - being an uncle. Paid - probably lab aide / tutor / and I'll even include teaching, even though I hated the politics - loved being with most of the students.


Do you fly a flag?

[jacks girl]

I have a University of Kentucky Flag I used to put on the car. Mom has a flag out in the yard. i would like to be able to afford two flags. one US flag and one Confederate flag. But my extra money goes to paying the bills.

What is the cheapest you can recall gas being?

Me .89 cents for diesel yea a gallon.

[Tamera]

39 cents a gallon.

Do you remember gas lines in the late 70s?

[Timber Wolf]

I remember the gas was about 60 cents (+/-) / gal in the 70s when we had a snowmachine - we never really had gas lines, but I remember them on the news.

What would you say your most common typo is?

[righter1]

What would you say your most common typo is?

Probably either using, too, many, commas, or inverting letters wehn I tpye.

See what I mean? :rolleyes:


.....................


What were the given names of the 3 main Mark Brothers? (Chico, Harpo, and Groucho?) Bonus points if you know what Harpo later changed his legal first name to. :p

[Timber Wolf]

Leonard, Adolph/Arthur, and Julius??

"How did he know that?"

[righter1]

Leonard, Adolph/Arthur, and Julius??

"How did he know that?"

And, you win the cigar! :p

I'm not sure how you knew that... I happen to love the Marx Brothers and pick up random bits of trivia, but then I've also read 'Harpo Speaks' at least twice and have watched a few documentaries on the brothers.

Care to share?

[Timber Wolf]

unlike some contributors to this thread, I use the tools at hand. :-)

What is the furthest east state?

[Rachel E.]

Maine?
not sure about that...

How many states have you been in at least once?

[Timber Wolf]

Actually it is Ta ta - Alaska, it wraps around to the other side of the "natural" international timeline.

AK, WA, OR, CA, AZ, CO, WY, TX, MO, IL, IN, OH, FL, and I may have missed one or two in travels from one state to another.


and my Q will be...

Digital, or Film? why?

LOL!!! :D I should have known that the answer to a question from TW would be Alaska! funny!
That's quite a few there TW!

I do both actually..is that a legal answer? I like digital cause it's easy to deal with, all you have to do is download them to your computer and your ready to print, email, or whatever needs done. I use Film, cause it's what I have most of the time! lol:p

[Xenia]

No question to answer but I will ask one...

Do you cry easily?

[Rachel E.]

No question to answer but I will ask one...

Do you cry easily?

oops...:rolleyes: sorry Xenia!

No, I don't cry easily... I hardly ever cry.

Do you have a low pain tolerance?

[Xenia]

It's really kind of hard to know if you have a low pain tolerance. How can one know the pain of others? Still, I have been told that I have a pretty high tolerance... (I am a big cry baby but not over physical pain... but if I see someone else crying... I don't even have to know what they are crying about and it gets me!)

What is (or would be) a perfect day for you?

[righter1]

What is (or would be) a perfect day for you?

A day where hubby and I are together and enjoying each other's company and not fighting (if we're driving and one of us thinks we know how to get there better than the other, we argue.) At the end of the day, being able to relax or write on the back patio (without mosquitoes) and a glass of lemonade and/or tea... Right now, that sounds about perfect. ('Course I'm missing my hubby something awful right now...)

.....................

If you've read Gary Chapman's book The Five Love Languages, which is/are yours? (If you haven't read the book, the five are: Gifts, Acts of Service, Words of Affirmation, Physical Touch, and Quality Time.)

[Rachel E.]

Mine is Physical Touch..

I'd like to continue that question ok?

What's your love language?

[melw]

mine is physical touch as well. but i know my second is Words of Affirmation. I geta warm fuzzy feeling whenever someone says thankyou or you did a good job.

those who haven't read it, please do it is a good book and teaches you things about yourself you didn't know before.

What is your favourite type of music?

[Rachel E.]

Yes, my second is Words of Affirmation as well, funny huh?

My favorite type of music... Is probably Praise and Worship.
I like other types...I'm just strugglign to identify my favorite.

I'll continue with a similar question.
What's your favorite Genre?

[Tamera]

Historical. I find history exciting.

What's you least favorite genre?
