I generally do all the new posts or unless it's more than three pages! LOL:D


Kellie asked this - Do you like computers a lot, and what do you use them for?

I love computers, but I really stink at them a lot.:rolleyes: I use them for internet, writing, and often just plain communication.

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

Do you quilt? And if so, machine, or hand? Or do you tie your quilt?

[WritingChaos]

I wish I could; then maybe I could make myself a kilt.

Do you edit as you work, or wait till your work is completed?

And my collection is growing not including my trance/game/ambient/classical music that I collect. So it’s a bit hard for me to say one is my very most favored. Sorry. Just depends on my mood.

What’s the most boring theme park ride you’ve been on?

[Cymrugirl]

It's a Small World - I was ready to start popping the little banchees off by the 45th round of "it's a small world after all..." Non-existent lines outside a ride should be a clue!

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


What is your favorite tree?

[WritingChaos]

The kind that doesn’t fall on me.

Can you answer Cymrugirl’s question better than I?

[lynnmosher]

I have seasonal favorites...so right now, it's the beautiful pink dogwood.
-------

Do you ever read scripture and personalize it, putting your name in the verses?

[Timber Wolf]

I do sometimes.

Do you want Peter Jackson to direct Hobbit or are you happy w/ the other guy and PJ and Fran being Executive Directors?
Who should write if Fran doesn't write?

[Rachel E.]

I wish that PJ was coming back to do The Hobbit, but after looking over some of the other guy's work and checking out his rating's etc. I think he has great potential and I'm willing to wait and see. As to the second question there TW, I don't know the answer, so I'll ask the question too!

Who should write if Fran doesn't write?

[Rachel E.]

Since no one has posted on this almost all day... and I dont' know the answer to the last question, can I ask another?

What is your time zone?

[Timber Wolf]

PACIFIC -
I was gonna if you didn't, since I was the original troublemaker. :D


Do you belong to any organization (non-writerly/artistic)?

[melw]

I belong to what is called Adventurers, last year is was Pathfinders. The Adventurers are children ages 5 -10, and they learn safety, animals, crafts, fitness etc....

Pathfinders is similar except you have ages 10-16+ WE take them camping and do craft and they learn things.

These are both run worldwide through our church so have a big emphasis on God. It is worthwhile when you see a child/young person make a decision or do something special.

If you could be any animal what would you be?

MEL

[Rachel E.]

I would be a horse. I love horses and always have.

What is a name you would chose for your first child if 1.) you have never had any kids, or 2.) you have had all your kids, but I want a name you'd name the next kid.

[righter1]

What is a name you would chose for your first child if 1.) you have never had any kids, or 2.) you have had all your kids, but I want a name you'd name the next kid.

Right now, I want Delia for a girl, Vincent for a boy. Last year, I wanted Annika for a girl, didn't really have a name picked out for a boy.


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

Do you, if you have pets, name your pets human names or pet names (i.e., Sparky, Fluffy, Brownie, etc. rather than Josie, Charlie, etc.)

[Rachel E.]

I named the dog that died Honey, and my calves names are Magnum and Brend. Brend is Celtic for "little raven" so it fit her as she's a black angus.

Do you own cows? Do you love them?

[righter1]

Do you own cows? Do you love them?

I live in the city, so I don't own cows, and never have, although I did live in the country for most of my formative years. My grandparents had cows when I was growing up, and they just scared me for the most part. I still think cows can be scary animals, though now I'm bigger, so not as scary as when I was a little girl.


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

Other than venemous animals (snakes and the like), what animals scare you and why?

[Rachel E.]

Not many animals scare me. Besides spider's and snakes, I don't much care for Mountain Lions...they scare me. We have one that lives near us, and he visits sometimes. The size of his paw prints! Oh my word!! They are big cats. and love sheep...calves, and goats...very good to them. They are scary!

What's your favorite animal?

[kshsj777]

Dogs and cats

I can't think of a good question. Pass.

[jacks girl]

I like Dogs best then cats then horses.

We have had several cows. I love them too. They are a huge, kind and curious large beast. Granny had all kinds of fun with one they called Heart.

Have you ever been hit in the head with a cow's tail while milking her or seen a cat raise on it's hind legs to get milk from a teet. LOL.

[WritingChaos]

No, but that's interesting.

Same question.

[Rachel E.]

Yes, I've been and seen both! I milked cows for a number of years, and got switched in the face more times than I can count. And as to the cat question, I've helped cat's do that. It's fun!

Same question...

[jacks girl]

I figured you had seen this done Rachel by the way you talk about your life. I miss having cows, and horses. Don't miss the chickens really although I did dream about little fuzzy chicks last night. The dogs always want to chase and eat them is the only reason i don't miss chickens.

I can remember the first time i seen the fake egg that papa left in the nest. LOL. I though he'd lost his mind. I wish all children could have the exp. of being on a farm.

Question still stands for now. I been hit in the face with a tail, I wasn't a good milker. LOL. Granny always aimed the milk at the kitties and they loved it wish i had it on video.

[Rachel E.]

Yeah Jacks, I miss milking cows a lot. I loved doing it, and since we got rid of our last cow, it's sad. I miss it a lot. I loved squirting cat's in the mouth, it's so funny! Then they clean off their faces like they were the daintiest queen's! lol... I love farm life, and am going to marry a rancher. i love that!

Same question...

[WritingChaos]

I eat cows.

[righter1]

Have you ever been hit in the head with a cow's tail while milking her or seen a cat raise on it's hind legs to get milk from a teet. LOL.

No to both.

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

Time for a new question...

When was the last time you went to an amusement park?

[Tarin]

I'm thinking it was six years ago. Elitches in Denver. :cool:



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



Have you ever been in a car wreck? Any injuries?

[Cymrugirl]

Yes. Worst injury was two straws going up my nose

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

Which kid's flick is most remnisicent of your own childhood?

[Rachel E.]

Milo and Otis, I'd have to say...I grew up on that one!


What's your weather like today?

[righter1]

Milo and Otis, I'd have to say...I grew up on that one!


What's your weather like today?


Cloudy, humid, about 75F... Chance of showers... hasn't yet.



Same question... (I'm feeling lazy...)

[Rachel E.]

It was a beautiful spring day. After that incredible snow storm on May 1st, I'm so glad to see the sun!! I love the sun...it's been wonderful to start on my tan...

What is the capital of the state where you live?

[ProfessorAlan]

Columbus
-------------------
capital of your state/province/region/district?

[Rachel E.]

Denver

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

Favorite actor/actress?

[ProfessorAlan]

John Cusack / Sandra Bullock
------------------------
What car (make, model, year) did you most recently drive?

[righter1]

John Cusack / Sandra Bullock
------------------------
What car (make, model, year) did you most recently drive?

Most recently DRIVEN? That would be my hubby's 2001 Saturn SL1. It's blue. I hate it because it's so low to the ground, it's difficult for me to get in and out of it (I feel like I'm sitting on the ground most of the time.) Give me my 1998 Dodge Dakota any day!

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


Same question. :D

[Timber Wolf]

Yes. Worst injury was two straws going up my nose

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

QUOTE]

Would that be drinking straws or straws from, well straw?

Same question. :D


Ditto the truck. I drive w/ my friend that I'm staying w/ to prayer mtg on Mon nights and it feels like riding a skateboard. Used to have a Subaru before I got my first truck, felt the same way. Give me a truck where you can actually see down the road before you get to a lane closure, etc.

Answer to the question is 2004 Dodge Quadcab 2500 Pickup Truck 5.7 Hemi engine.

Name something you can see that is blue.

[Rachel E.]

Besides the CW website? lol...ok, in my sight is a box that holds a giant trampoline. WE can't set it up yet, so it's sitting there waiting for us to set it up. It's blue.

Do you use/like emoticons? What website do you use for them?

[Timber Wolf]

Usually just whatever is available at whatever website I am on, too many to choose from otherwise. :D

Name something you have learned about someone on this website.

[ProfessorAlan]

everyone but me is a little nutty ...........

[Cymrugirl]

Timber Wolf - the answer is drinking straws.

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

And....to keep us going. Are you photogenic?

[WritingChaos]

My wife think so; I do not.

Would you ever offer a novel you've written to the public to read for free online.

[jacks girl]

Sure sounds like a cool idea. When i finish one LOL!!!



What did God do for you today?

[Timber Wolf]

everyone but me is a little nutty ...........

ummmmm, yeah - right! :D



Timber Wolf - the answer is drinking straws.

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

And....to keep us going. Are you photogenic?


I won't even ask how drinking straws ended up in your nose after an auto accident. :D



Sure sounds like a cool idea. When i finish one LOL!!!



What did God do for you today?


He kept my heart beating, He's given me the breath I breathe, and He's reminded me to read His word - which I will be doing shortly.



Question, since I already mentioned it - Have you read your Bible this morning? or do you read in the evening?

[WritingChaos]

I read when I'm depressed or mad most of the time.

Have you ever read the Bible, pointed the finger at someone that they are a perfect example of what you read, and then realize that you are also?

[jacks girl]

I'm not on a schedule. I don't read the bible every day. I know I should and that is why i stared the verse of the day for a reminder. I need to get my eyes checked soon can't seen the Bible now. I read online mostly.



Do you do read one of those little devotional books too along with your Bible reading. I think that is what you call them.

[jacks girl]

Ninjed. I'm sure I've done that. I try not to judge people but it don't always work.

Same question.. about the devotional.

[Ransom v. Unman]

Do you do read one of those little devotional books too along with your Bible reading. I think that is what you call them.
I'll read devotionals on occasion, but usually when I'm reading the Bible, I'll just do commentaries, lexicons, and various sources on ANE literature, culture and Rabbinic history.

...

Do you know what ANE means in the context I just used it in?

[Cymrugirl]

Nope I don't, but I'm intrigued. Auto Ninja Emissaries. Arial Nano Eulogies. Azusa Nacho Enchilada..... I'm giving up.


What is the last gift you received from someone?

[righter1]

What is the last gift you received from someone?

The pharmacist at Target bought me a Coke on Saturday... I was about to pass out from low blood sugar. I'd consider that a gift. :)


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


Same question...

[jacks girl]

Ransom the only ANE I know is A&E on tv LOL. but being the good Googler I am I know now. I'll not let the beans out of the bag. I would have never guessed this one.

Jacks.

A gift i received. A 25.00 check for my Anniversary present which hubby turned into two Chinese to go dinners. Yum yum.

Do you like chinese food?

[jacks girl]

I ♥ Chinese food!!!1

Szechuan is wonderful...

...

What are other ethnic foods you enjoy?

[Cymrugirl]

Spanish, Mediterranean, German, Welsh/Irish, Italian, Dutch, French (desserts and cheese anyway), uh.... Actually I can't think of one I don't like.



Do you collect anything? No, no, besides books!

[Tarin]

Unofficially, I collect Snoopies. ;)



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



Would you consider yourself a visual, audio, or kinesthetic learner?

[righter1]

Do you collect anything? No, no, besides books!

Teddy bears--mostly the Beanie Baby sized ones, but I have others that are larger, too. Though, I couldn't find a small bear on my recent trip to Minnesota, so I settled for a moose (I like to get small things from trips to remember the trips.) The moose is currently sitting on my desk at work. :)

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

How extensive is your personal library? Is it eclectic, or mostly research and a specific genre of books?

[righter1]

Ninja'd!!!


Would you consider yourself a visual, audio, or kinesthetic learner?

A little bit of all, I think. I learn a lot by hearing (probably more than 40%), but, I think it depends on the situation and what is being learned.

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

My question still stands...

[WritingChaos]

It’s very small, about twenty books; all my wife’s. I hate paper, so books are ebil too me. Funny huh, I write yet hate books?

Do you hate going into Wal-mart?

[ProfessorAlan]

comic books.
visual.
not much of a personal library -- I am a fan of local libraries, and get most of my works that way.
---------------
righter's question about personal library

[Cymrugirl]

Not that extensive. I currently only clock in at 737 books. Very eclectic -the largest categories being fiction and theology.


Is your hair long or short?

[Tarin]

Just past my shoulders.

Do you start the water for your shower before or after you get in?

I'll answer this and then catch up to the last question -
Ancient Near East?

[Timber Wolf]

....

Do you know what ANE means in the context I just used it in?

"Ancient Near Eastern", i.e. the Middle-East up until Roman occupation.

Bah I was hoping you hadn't told yet. Oh Well.

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

<SIGH> Much decreased of late since I had to give away a large percentage of what I had had. <SIGH> Still have writing, photography, and Bible study resources. (for now).

Before. I hate getting into cold water!

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

What do you think is the strangest looking animal?

Platapus? Yes, definitely, platapus.


What's for dinner tonight?

[Ransom v. Unman]

What's for dinner tonight?

I think it might be couscous salad... but I'm not sure.

...

Do you wash your hair more than once while in the shower? Do you follow-up with conditioner?

[righter1]

I think it might be couscous salad... but I'm not sure.

...

Do you wash your hair more than once while in the shower? Do you follow-up with conditioner?

Not unless I still feel it's dirty, or accidentally forget I already did. And, sometimes, if I remember, or if I need to get my hair to calm down (it's frizzy and tends to have a mind of its own, despite my conditioner usage.)

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

What is couscous salad, and how do you make it?

[Ransom v. Unman]

What is couscous salad, and how do you make it?
Couscous salad is a salad that my wife makes using an herb salad blend (most important part being cilantro), red kidney beans, tomatoes, shredded carrots, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and couscous.

It's absolutely delicious and fills me quite well (a feat in itself.) We like to have it with unfiltered concord grape juice or a red wine, and serve with soft rolls (preferably challah bread rolls... yum!)

...

Have you ever had couscous? If not, I highly recommend it!

[righter1]

No, I haven't. And, if you could get the recipe from her, I'd very much like to try the recipe. It sounds great! You can PM me with it, pretty please??? :p

What do you think your best feature is? (Either physical or a personality trait.)

[ProfessorAlan]

never made coscous.
no repeats on the hair washing.
sense of humor.

continue with righter's Q

[jacks girl]

I used to have very pretty ankles people would brag on them. Now boo boo i have vericous veins and i seem to be wearing blue socks when im not.

So now i guess it might be my abilities to write the perfect poem for a situation. I hope this counts. Question still stands.

[Timber Wolf]

Not unless I ... accidentally forget I already did.

Glad I'm not the only one that does that. :D



Couscous salad is a salad that my wife makes using an herb salad blend (most important part being cilantro), red kidney beans, tomatoes, shredded carrots, balsamic vinegar, olive oil, and couscous.

It's absolutely delicious and fills me quite well (a feat in itself.) We like to have it with unfiltered concord grape juice or a red wine, and serve with soft rolls (preferably challah bread rolls... yum!)

...

Have you ever had couscous? If not, I highly recommend it!

You're making me hungry. And I just finished eating. :)


No, I haven't. And, if you could get the recipe from her, I'd very much like to try the recipe. It sounds great! You can PM me with it, pretty please??? :p

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

What do you think your best feature is? (Either physical or a personality trait.)


My mom was jealous of my thick eyebrows. (Guess they came from dad's side). I don't know that's a tough question. People used to say I was good at tutoring when I tutored in college. And they asked me to teach some Wed night studies in church and I got kudos. Does any of that count as a "feature?"


So what is couscous? I've heard of it? Never had it. That's not my real question.


How tall are you?

[Xenia]

I would love to have that couscous salad recipe as well. That's right up my alley!!!! I love couscous :). Maybe you could post it in the "recipe" section!

I am 5'8"

Salty or sweet?

[melw]

depends what mood i am in. but i guess i would say more savory thatn sweet. but every now and then you want something with just al ittle bit of sweetness.


If there was one place you could visit where would it be?

MEL

[Rachel E.]

Ireland. I want to go there so badly some day!

What did you do today?

[righter1]

Ireland. I want to go there so badly some day!

What did you do today?

Helped hubby get on his way (packed his lunch, found his shoes), went to work, had a sonogram for baby, made dinner, cleaned up around the house a bit (apparently, not enough, per hubby. Need to vacuum still.) Watched American Idol and CSI:NY as I wrote... going to bed soon. I'm tuckered out!!!

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

Are you street smart?

[Timber Wolf]

not as much as I would like to be. try to be aware of my surrounings and what's going on, though.


what is a non-newtonian fluid?

[Xenia]

Make me work!

An inexpensive, non-toxic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxicity) sample of a non-Newtonian fluid sometimes known as oobleck (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oobleck) can be made by adding corn starch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corn_starch) (corn flour) to a cup of water. The application of force (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force) - for example by stabbing the surface with a finger, or rapidly inverting the container holding it - leads to the fluid behaving like a solid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid) rather than a liquid. This is the "shear thickening" property of this non-Newtonian fluid. More gentle treatment, such as slowly inserting a spoon, will leave it in its liquid state. Trying to jerk the spoon back out again, however, will trigger the return of the temporary solid state. A person moving quickly and applying sufficient force with their feet can literally walk across such a liquid.[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-Newtonian_fluid#cite_note-Brainiac-0)

What is the meaning behind Yeshua's name?

[WritingChaos]

Yeshua, spelled יֵשׁוּעַ in Hebrew, was a common name among Jews of the Second Temple Period, and is believed by some scholars[1] and religious groups[2] to be the Hebrew or Aramaic name for Jesus. It is extensively used by Messianic Jews and Hebrew Christians, as well as others, who wish to use what some believe to be the original Hebraic pronunciation of Jesus' name. This pronunciation and spelling, as with many religious and scholarly issues, remains the subject of ongoing debate.

That's what I found on Wiki. Hope it helps.

Are there any governmental conspiracies that you believe in?

[Xenia]

The meaning behind the name Yeshua is SALVATION!! http://www.wildbranch.org/Archive/index.html

To answer your question... yes.

Have you been to Israel?

[ProfessorAlan]

Are there any governmental conspiracies that you believe in?
I can't think of one, off the top of my head. I think they are way too incompetent to pull one off.

Never been to Israel, but my wife has.
--------------------
I like the "how tall are you" question.

[righter1]

I like the "how tall are you" question.

Five foot eight inches. :) I like being somewhat tall.

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

I like the 'government conspiracies' question.

[Rachel E.]

Nope, no government conspiracies that I know of. They are really too dumb for that!

I liked that one about non-Newtonian fluids, we call that stuff polymer, and enjoy making it, cause it's fun!

Where did your username come from?

[righter1]

Where did your username come from?

Mine's a play on words... sort of a combo between 'right' and 'writer'. I'm a writer, obviously, and am involved in 'right-wing' politics. So, I created 'righter'. The 1 is because when I signed up for my e-mail service over a decade ago, it wouldn't let me have plain 'righter', so I'm 'righter1'. :) I just use the same ID so I don't forget.

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

How often do you change your e-mail address, or have you ever? Are you like me--having had the same e-mail address for over a decade?

[Rachel E.]

I've changed my email, or gotten another one twice in the last six months. One was because we got a new internet server, and the other cause it was free! lol...

Does your church have any kind of Bible Quiz for youth where they quiz against other churches and move up in rankings to eventually go to national matches? If yes, did you ever take part?

[Timber Wolf]

I've changed my email, or gotten another one twice in the last six months. One was because we got a new internet server, and the other cause it was free! lol...

How many years are you older than your youngest sibling? If you don't have a younger sibling, how much younger are you than your oldest?


Ninjaed!

360 days from my next younger sibling.

same Q.

[ProfessorAlan]

My much, much, much older sister is 4 years older than me, her much, much younger brother.

Grapefruit, eggs, and toast.

Do you know anyone with cancer?

[ProfessorAlan]

yeah, one of the pastors on staff at the church has been fighting cancer for more than a year, with all the standard ups & downs. A friend of ours from our first church died at about age 35 from cancer.
----------------------------
anyone else no someone with cancer?

[Rachel E.]

Breakfast...oh, you mean What I ate? Yogurt and orange juice..not very filling! lol

Same question as TW...

Does your church have any kind of Bible Quiz for youth where they quiz against other churches and move up in rankings to eventually go to national matches? If yes, did you ever take part?

[Rachel E.]

Sorry Ninja'd!

My sister was diagnosed with Cancer toward the beginning of last week. So yes, I do.

Again, same question.

[Cymrugirl]

Yes. Years and years ago in my youth


What's the current background on your computer? (not the lifestory - the wallpaper background ;))

[Rachel E.]

It's a picture of a beautiful high mountain sunset. A view from my house, so gorgeous. I've never seen more consistently beautiful sunset's than in Colorado.

What's your favorite song bird?

[Tarin]

Meadowlark - Nebraska's state bird. ;)



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



Favorite flower?

[ProfessorAlan]

Whatever my wife tells me to buy her for Mother's Day .......

Do you have a bird feeder (or bird bath) at your house?

[Tamera]

Not outside. But I have a bird, a quaker parrot, so I have both a bird feeder and a bird bath in her cage.

What's the last thing you wrote?

[Rachel E.]

A short story for my boyfriend. Before that, is just a rewrite on my novel that I'm working on.

What is the name of a poet that you really like, and the poem that you enjoy?

[Timber Wolf]

Don't have a favorite poet.
Although "The Cremation of Sam McGee" by Robert Service certainly shows the rigors of the Northland.

I'm gonna ask my skipped question again - Do you have a Bible Quiz team at church? Have you particiapated?

[righter1]

Don't have a favorite poet.

I'm gonna ask my skipped quesiton again - Do you have a Bible Quiz team at church? Have you particiapated?

Not that I'm aware of. And, no, I'm no good at that kind of trivia--haven't studied enough! I'm pretty sure that I could win at 'Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader' though. :D


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

Have you ever been on a game show? If not, what one do you think you'd like to be on?

[Timber Wolf]

Nope, no game shows. But any that are trivia based (verses guessing the price of some pop tarts :D) would be a grand experience (or maybe a million experiences :))

How late do you eat dinner?

[Ransom v. Unman]

How late do you eat dinner?
If my wife's home, usually at around 7:30-8:00 or so. If it's just me? Usually 9:00, 10:00...

Do you have a YouTube account? (I just got mine - I'm uploading the footage I got from the B&N/CoN:PC event on Monday night, too, Cymru!)

[righter1]

Nope. I don't visit YouTube that often.



Same question, I'll see if anyone else has anything more interesting to say on that topic.

[Rachel E.]

No I don't, but I do enjoy hanging out over there and looking up stuff. I have some really favorite people over there that do really good work. Ransom, who are you over there? Have you uploaded an video's yet?
sorry for the hijack, now back to our thread.

Who are all of the moderator's on here anyway?

[jacks girl]

I have a u tube account i have many videos on there. Lots of Tennis stuff i love. Lots of law and order videos, some blue grass stuff, a great little video with a cute little girl, put the lime in the coconut. I think she is so cute. I have some Brooks and dunn and Trace Adkins. just a little bit of everything.

Jacks now back to the last question.

[righter1]

Keith Wallis

I want to say ProfessorAlan or WGJones may be as well, but I'm not sure.

And, of course, Rebecca. :)

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

Have you ever reported an inappropriate post to Rebecca or one of the moderators?

[Rachel E.]

Nope, sure haven't.

I'm curious...

Does anyone know who I am?

[WritingChaos]

You are a child of God.

Are you interested in the new Indiana Jones movie?

[Rachel E.]

No fair WC! ForeverHis, is....(drum roll, please) ME!!!

Nope, not interested...

How many posts do you make a day on here?

[WritingChaos]

Ten a day I believe, but I think it said seventeen at one point.

I'm currently working on my book, have you worked today?

[Rachel E.]

No I haven't. I probably won't have time to today. I'm cleaning the house.


Do you like coffee? Or do you prefer mocha's, fraps, or cappucchino's?

[righter1]

Do you like coffee? Or do you prefer mocha's, fraps, or cappucchino's?

I hate coffee. I hate the smell of it, the taste of it, I even hate it when co-workers walk by and have a cup and I can smell it (being pregnant makes me smell things more pungently than before.) I CAN go into coffeeshops, as long as they're not too strong. Hubby and I went into one recently that we took 2 steps into, and I turned to him and said that the smell was going to make me nauseous, so we had to leave. (I was only a month or so pregnant then, I think.)

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

Are you doing anything special for Mother's Day?

[lynnmosher]

I'll answer two questions. I l-o-v-e coffee but rarely anyone else's. Just mine. I drink fresh ground hazelnut coffee. And righter, I know what you mean about the smell. Mine smells really good but some coffees have a horrible smell, mainly those that are strong or over-roasted. I know I'll step on toes with this one but I hate Starbucks coffee. Yuck! I don't like my coffee beans burnt!

Since my mother died, I guess we will just go visit my mother-in-law. Other than that, I don't think there is anything planned. This year is a dud.

I probably like Autumn best because I like the high color and the mild temperatures. However, I dread the approaching winter during fall, so it's bitter sweet.

I like Tarin's question. How old will you be in 5 years?

I will be - oh heavens - 38. Oh lands.


My former question still stands

[Rachel E.]

That's tough, I like a few. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, is possibly my favorite choice, but there are others I've thought of that I don't know about.

How fast does your hair grow? How often do you have to get it cut?

[ProfessorAlan]

I get my hair buzzed to about half-inch every 5 weeks or so, longer in the Summer.

what novel would you like to live in?

[Timber Wolf]

I'm curious...

Does anyone know who I am?
No fair WC! ForeverHis, is....(drum roll, please) ME!!!

Are you joshing?? When WC piped up I went and looked at the profile (and saw all the new stuff), and saw you had visited the profile, and I was the only other one at that point. I was seriously thinking it was someone you knew. (why? I don't know, just suspicuous I guess).





....

I know I'll step on toes with this one but I hate Starbucks coffee. Yuck! I don't like my coffee beans burnt!

....




I've heard lots of people say that, sure doesn't step on my toes - even if I am from Seattle. I can't stand coffee most times, and if you ever see me drinking it, run, run far, run fast, and hide. Sometimes I will have a few sips, but that's usually it, if I am drinking ht estuff you know I've had a bad night (or three).



That's tough, I like a few. Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen, is possibly my favorite choice, but there are others I've thought of that I don't know about.

How fast does your hair grow? How often do you have to get it cut?

Don't know how to measure hair growing velocity, but I buzz cut it w/ a #3 every 2-6 weeks.

[Timber Wolf]

I get my hair buzzed to about half-inch every 5 weeks or so, longer in the Summer.

what novel would you like to live in?

Got ninjaed, but nice haircut prof. :)

LOTR

and I forgot a question, and since I can't think of anything better - same question what novel would you live in?

[PattyU]

I will be - oh heavens - 38. Oh lands.

Hmmm. You sound somewhat dismayed at the elderly age you will be in 5 years, but I have no sympathy for you since I'm 38 right now. In five years, I will no longer be so. Actually in 1 month, I will no longer be 38. So, no sympathy for you. LOL

I do not know how fast my hair grows, so I will let that question stand.

[Cymrugirl]

Well I haven't cut my hair in a year and it went from my shoulders almost to my waist. So, fast. It's coming off in a couple of weeks though.

Last bit of anything you wrote?

Do your prefer hymns, or other praise songs?

[Thebigguy]

Definately more of a Hill songs kind of guy. Which would you rather do for vacation, a Hotel on the beach or a log cabin get away in the alpine forests? Which would be more conducive to your writing and why?

[Rachel E.]

Praise and Worship and Contemporary Christian both more than hymns, but I like hymns too.

What time zone are you in?

[Rachel E.]

Log cabin get'away ABSOLUTELY! much more conducive to my LIFE in general..lol..

Well, I like it kept short, if it gets long it starts looking like a white boy trying to grow a 'fro (course their is some African (Watusi?) in the family blood line).
Not as short as mine I hope - ie:

no, no, no. :D

But then again, it's none of my business. :D

Do you write out verses and put them up somewhere in your house to see them? If so, where do you put them?

[Xenia]

Yes I do! I usually put them on the fridge or on my PC.

Do you think we will speak a whole new language in heaven?

[Rachel E.]

I don't know for sure what to think about that. But I would have to agree that I don't think that they speak English in heaven, so yeah, I guess everyone will learn (or just suddenly Know) a new langauge.

Did you sleep good last night?

[WritingChaos]

Not really, and my back hurt this morning. Either way I’m up and getting ready for work.

I have no question, so same as one above.

[Tarin]

Yep.

Who was the last person you called on the phone?

[Merry]

My ex-husband. No, it didn't go well.

What was your last supernatural experience? (Careful, loaded question)

[Rachel E.]

I'm going to go for a positive supernatural experience, as the negative is so hard. I've been praying to have strength through everything I personally, and also my family are going through. For me as a person, for my boyfriend, who is suffering too, for my family, who feel rather torn right now, for my parents..I could go on for a while, anyway, just for us to Feel GOD every moment, and not fail Him.
Looking back, I KNOW that God has been here for us, every step of the way, when my footsteps fumbled and I wanted to cry with hurt, loneliness, and defeat, I looked up and Knew that He was there for me. It's been So good!

Same question...

[Timber Wolf]

I would have to say this morning's Men's breakfast. Our church recently put on an Easter musical (a mnth late due to logistics), and the man wo wrote and composed the music gave his story of how God lead him through the last 18 yrs to come to make this a reality. The talk will be up on our men's group website in a couple of weeks. I'll post when it is up, I would highly encourage everyone to listen to it.


Same question.

[jacks girl]

I don't think i've ever had a bad S. E. cause I avoid evil at all cost.

It would be last night during the alter call, I felt the spirit very good. I got a good blessing as our country folk say. I didn't shout or dance which is good too, but i felt good and I felt like God was taking away some of the fear i've had recently.

Jacks

Same question

[Merry]

When I woke up this morning, still breathing..and ..and everything!

I asked that question on another Christian board and one person got after me for bringing up the supernatural...(Cough, uh...Godisuspernatural...cough) Yup, two sides to it.

Same question only tweaked: What was your most intense supernatural experience, negative or positive?

[Rachel E.]

Most intense, is probably when our church has a super-Sunday where the worship and praise is so intense that you can see the presence of God hanging over the people like a veil of light. Where you can see it shimmering over our heads and you know He is there in all His glory. It's the most glorious and touching thing I've ever experienced, and Powerful beyond words.

Do you play Freecell, Spider Solitare, or Basic Solitare?

[Timber Wolf]

I have a tendency to name supporting female characters Yvonne. I'm not sure why. Of the ones for my main characters, I think it's Constance right now. But, I haven't worked on that line of stories in a LONG time... I'm not even sure with my recent computer troubles if those stories survived... I need to check...

I seem to not have one...

Same question again.

[jacks girl]

For men I like, Rick, Alex, Jack, Dusty, Phillipe, Phelix
for women, Lana, Kelly, Samantha, Tabitha I tend to like names that you can shorten, Sam, Tab, Kat, Also I like Candy.

I have a lot of Ricks that will have to be changed to another name when I get published. (Hopeful thinking here)

Sulfhemoglobinemia is a rare condition in which there is excess sulfhemoglobin (SulfHb) in the blood. The pigment is a greenish derivative of hemoglobin which cannot be converted back to normal, functional hemoglobin. It causes cyanosis even at low blood levels.

Sulfhemoglobinemia is usually drug induced. Drugs associated with sulfhemoglobinemia include acetanilid, phenacetin, nitrates, trinitrotoluene and sulfur compounds (mainly sulphonamides). Another possible cause is occupational exposure to sulfur compounds. The condition generally resolves itself with erythrocyte (red blood cell) turnover, although blood transfusions can be necessary in extreme cases.

I'll let the question above stand - my mom's been gone since 2000.

[ProfessorAlan]

My daughter and I gave my wife the excellent, pro-mother, pro-life movie Bella. And flowers and cooked breakfast, too.

What is the price of gas in your area?

I think Rachel's question got skipped, so I'll be nice and answer it.

In about a 3 mile radius from my house, gas right now is anywhere from $3.56 to $3.63. If you go over the state line into Missouri, it's a bit cheaper (gas taxes are lower in MO than in Kansas.)

MEL

[Rachel E.]

Knowing that God is always there for me, and that He loves me so much He gave his son for me. I just love that feeling inside, knowing that He LOVES me! wow!

Thanks Liberty for answering my question, which did get skipped.

What time do you normally go to bed?

[Ransom v. Unman]

What time do you normally go to bed?
Usually around midnightish... It depends on when I have to get up in the morning. I'd stay up 'til 1 or 2 naturally.

...

Do you have to get up earlier than you'd like to get to church on Sunday?

[Rachel E.]

I have to get up earlier than I'd like every day! lol. To catch my boyfriend online before he goes to work, I have to be up at 5 every day. Even Sunday. So to answer that question, yes I have to be up earlier than I'd like, but not to make it to church on time.

What's your favorite type of weather?

[ProfessorAlan]

70's, sunny, and a nice breeze. That is perfect sitting-on-the-front-porch weather.

[righter1]

What's your favorite type of weather?

I really love it when it's about 70 - 75 outside, light breeze (from the south, of course. The North is too cold, usually!) And, sunny, or with a few clouds in the sky.

But, then again, I also love a good, roaring thunderstorm--even better when there's a threat of severe weather. :)

I saw these for the first time this Valentine's Day, but thought they were lovely, so I got a bunch for my wife. Anyway, they're yellow roses that turn violet/pinkish near the stem. They look smashing!

What's your favorite fast food restaurant?

What's your favorite fast food restaurant?
Keep in mind, I dislike and encourage others to abstain from fast food myself.

However...

In-N-Out Burger really is impressive.

...

Over 1/3 of the United States is clinically obese. Something close to two-thirds is overweight. Europe and Japan's life expectancies are actually beginning to fall as they adopt American habits.

What are you doing to reverse the process? :D

[lynnmosher]

I eat as healthy as I can, though there is always room for improvement. If I ever get something from a fast food restaurant, it's usually a salad! Have cut out all the white stuff...except for a tiny bit of sugar in my coffee!
-----------

Same question...what are you doing to reverse the process or ward it off?

[righter1]

Over 1/3 of the United States is clinically obese. Something close to two-thirds is overweight. Europe and Japan's life expectancies are actually beginning to fall as they adopt American habits.

What are you doing to reverse the process? :D

I actually don't go to fast food that frequently... though sometimes, it's the only thing really available when I'm out and my blood sugar drops (since I'm pregnant, at least.)

I try to eat healthy--or as healthy as I can--and hubby and I like to go for walks a lot. Both of us are blessed with high metabolism, though there are overweight and/or obese people in our immediate families. Most nights, I cook at home, usually from scratch or as close to it as I can get, if time allows. When we do go out, I rarely, if ever, will finish what I order, and will typically take it home for lunch the next day. Eating breakfast helps--usually. Typically, if I eat breakfast in the morning, I'm not as hungry during the day, though today seems to be an exception to the rule--I'm eating everything in sight! Baby must be hungry today.

I also try not to keep a lot of soda on hand--especially if hubby's folks are coming to visit--they're major pop-a-holic's. We drink a lot of tea, juice, and water, as well as Gatorade at our house.

However, there is one member of our household that's overweight, if not obese. And, that's our cat, Alley. She's a Type-2 diabetic, insulin dependent, and can't seem to lose weight. Maybe the new puppy chasing her everywhere will help. :rolleyes:

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

Same question. I'd like to see if anyone else has any thoughts.

[Rachel E.]

Personally, I eat next to nothing, keep the fat's down, don't drink or eat lots of sugar, and Hardly ever eat out. My family has almost totally cut out white flours and breads, we make our own whole wheat bread, and almost no sweet's during the week.
I'm personally my ideal body weight for my size, but I am related to people who are overweight/obese. Most of my extended family is on a constant diet, be it weight watchers or something else.
I don't know what we can do for other people. I mean, how will we save America from destroying herself or unless we pray? That's the only option I know of.

Same question.

HAve you looked at the number 1 (2?) ingredient in Gatorade? It's corn syrup. I stopped drinking it and take my electrolytes in pill form if I am not getting them in my food. I don't know if there is another electrolyte drink that doesn't use so much sweetner.




....

Same question.

OK - I'm 6'2" and weighed 220# (fully-clothed) last time I weighed myself. I've just been cutting back on portions for the most part. I park in the back of the parking lot (car park), and walk. I don't drink a bunch of soda pop, can't think of the last time I had one. - But as you can see to my response to Lynn's earlier quesiton about sweets, I do have to watch out for that.

and I can't think of any question to ask, so answer your favorite from the last couple pgs or so.

[Ransom v. Unman]

Side-note, I actually did see one not too long ago doing an ad campaign here in the City talking about how there's no HFCS in it. Can't remember the name of it now though, so I'm sure this isn't much help, but it does exist!

...

Does PediaLyte use HFCS?

I typically get Gatorade Rain. It's not as sweet as regular Gatorade. I'm sure there's still a lot of corn syrup, but being pregnant, the docs are more concerned about my hydration level as opposed to the actual electrolytes (unless I'm having certain tummy problems--then they want me to push the electrolytes.)

I'm not sure what my favorite question is from the past few pages, so I'll pass and let the next person answer.

[righter1]

It may be Gatorade: G2 or Gatorade: Tiger. I've seen it in the stores, but not bought either.

Now, back to your regularly scheduled thread.

[melw]

Over 1/3 of the United States is clinically obese. Something close to two-thirds is overweight. Europe and Japan's life expectancies are actually beginning to fall as they adopt American habits.

What are you doing to reverse the process? :D

Okay, i try to eat healthy and because i don't cook much meat i guess that is one way. I also limit my portions, but hubby doesn't quite understand that. I try to do more exercise, but being sick recently haven't really felt like it.


What exercise do people do? What is most effective?

MEL

[Rachel E.]

grief, how would I know? Beyond walking, jogging, running, weight lifting, dieting, umm.... I'm not sure. I've heard that walking is the most affective and best for your body, but I don't know.

Do you drink Sobe's? If so, what's your favorite flavor?

[Timber Wolf]

Don't know what it is? Energy drink? I try to stay away from those. I very rarely drink coffee. I do use ginseng / gingko biloba (sp) occassionally.

I'm not sure if Mel's earlier question was a general inquiry, but I'll ask what exercise do you do?

[jacks girl]

All i do is barely walk on my new treadmill. Poor thing don't get much work. same question

[righter1]

Before I got pregnant, I did some light weight training. I'm wanting to start doing it again for my upper body, but haven't. :( I have been walking/running more with the new puppy. Walking's good, right? After I'm cleared for exercise after I have the baby, I want to get into a more rigorous weight training schedule--and increase my strength.

Either three or four nights. That's about my limit.

What's the worst experience you've had while camping? (If you don't have a worst, how about a funniest?)

[Rachel E.]

Worst would have to either be when we had the dogs with us and a Mountain lion came through camp and started screaming while the dogs barked. We were so scared! That or the time it started pouring rain and rained solid for two days until we finally decided to come home and then it cleared up and the sun shone. Everything was soaking wet and cold. It was miserable.
