Interview the person below you ~ a game

[Ransom v. Unman]

What are you planning on eating for lunch?
Gnocchi.

...

If there were one food that you had to eat at every meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

[righter1]

If there were one food that you had to eat at every meal for the rest of your life, what would it be?

PIZZA!!!! :D





same question!

[Rachel E.]

Ice Cream!!! My favorite food group.


Same question.

[Tarin]

Pancakes.



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


Do you sleep with your closet doors opened or closed?

[ProfessorAlan]

closed, of course -- that is an obvious question.
-------------------
sleep with any pets on the bed, or in the room?

[righter1]

closed, of course -- that is an obvious question.
-------------------
sleep with any pets on the bed, or in the room?

Yes. I have 2 cats and a dog, and at least one of them is in our room at night, sometimes all three. Whether they're on the bed is their call--except the puppy, who's still relegated to a crate. But, he doesn't whine if he's in our room, so we keep him in it in our room.


Same question.

[Rachel E.]

No. My sister(and roommate) hates cat's and most dog's, so since my dog died earlier this year we haven't had another animal join us.


Do you play the guitar?

[melw]

i don't play the guitar, thought my hubby a few years back taught we a few chords (which i no longer remember)

It would be nice to though


If there was any instrument you would love to play (money, time and location irrelevant) what would it be and why?


MEL

[lynnmosher]

I would love to play the mandolin and even the banjo. In fact, I've been thinking of taking lessons. Love those two instruments.
------------

Same question...

[Timber Wolf]

I'd love to play the bagpipes, and learn in Scotland.

Since nobody has gotten the answer to my last question - one more hint, it is probably the most viscous liquid. (to summarize: it can break - that is, be broken, and it can cut, when broken).

any guesses?

[lynnmosher]

Did you mean to type vicious? Is it liquid nitrogen? I'm at a loss. Good stumper.
----------

I'll let the question stand...

[Rachel E.]

Is it Mercury?

Questions stands...

[righter1]

Since nobody has gotten the answer to my last question - one more hint, it is probably the most viscous liquid. (to summarize: it can break - that is, be broken, and it can cut, when broken).

any guesses?

Is it sulfuric acid? I'm stumped... if it's not it, you need to tell us what it is, TW. :) Please????

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

In the meantime, have you ever looked at a cloud and saw yourself in it?

[Rachel E.]

No... seen lot's of things, animals, buildings, etc. And even other people I know in it... but not myself.

How many hours of sleep do you need every night to survive and cope?

[Timber Wolf]

Did you mean to type vicious? Is it liquid nitrogen? I'm at a loss. Good stumper.
----------

I'll let the question stand...

Nope - viscous, as in thick, slow flowing, think of molasses, and multiply by a factor of oh, 1000



Is it Mercury?

Questions stands...

Nope, good guess. and that gives me an idea....




Is it sulfuric acid? I'm stumped... if it's not it, you need to tell us what it is, TW. :) Please????

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

In the meantime, have you ever looked at a cloud and saw yourself in it?

Nope it's not any kind of acid, frozen gas, etc., it is... (drum roll please)... I'll tell you in a moment...



No... seen lot's of things, animals, buildings, etc. And even other people I know in it... but not myself.

How many hours of sleep do you need every night to survive and cope?


Depends. When I was in college I could live on just a couple of two hr cat naps. Even as I got older I could survive on less than 8 hrs if I was excitd about getting up and going and doing something. Now, well now I am sleeping much more than 8 hrs, let's just say.


What Celcius and Farenheit temps are the same?


...
and the answer to my earlier question - glass.
My physics instructor told us that glass is a super-viscous liquid. I looked up some info on the net, and it seems, though, that now they (physicists, etc.) are arguing whether this is in fact an accurate description of the properties of glass - very interesting reading regardless.

[righter1]

Nope - viscous, as in thick, slow flowing, think of molasses, and multiply by a factor of oh, 1000

viscosity
[cP]

honey 2,000–10,000
molasses 5,000–10,000
molten glass 10,000–1,000,000
chocolate syrup 10,000–25,000
molten chocolate* 45,000–130,000 [16]
ketchup* 50,000–100,000
peanut butter ~250,000
shortening* ~250,000


Based on this from Wikipedia, I'm going to revise my guess to molten glass. Please let us know if this correct--I'm completely stumped!!!!

[lynnmosher]

I wasn't sure which you meant. Okay, so we're all chewing on the bit. What the heck is it?

[Rachel E.]

Depends. When I was in college I could live on just a couple of two hr cat naps. Even as I got older I could survive on less than 8 hrs if I was excitd about getting up and going and doing something. Now, well now I am sleeping much more than 8 hrs, let's just say.


What Celcius and Farenheit temps are the same?



Is it 0 degrees? Or is it 32? I'm not really sure. You should stop asking such hard questions TW! lol... it's too hard.


What's your favorite of the CW emoticon's?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Is it 0 degrees? Or is it 32? I'm not really sure. You should stop asking such hard questions TW! lol... it's too hard.
If I could remember the formula for converting Fahrenheit into Celsius, the answer would be one algebra problem away...

Unfortunately, I can't remember that formula, as I now have a converter on my cellphone. Man loses to technology once more. >_<

It's definitely NOT 0° or 32° in either system... I'm guessing it's in the negatives somewhere, as 10° Celsius is something like 40° Fahrenheit...

Anyway!

What's your favorite of the CW emoticon's?
Probably :confused:, though I like !thumbsup!, :rolleyes: and :eek: very much in the right context...

EWIT - Crap! Forgot to ask a question!

What is the worst thing you will willfully eat?

[righter1]

What Celcius and Farenheit temps are the same?


...

Gee, you publish the answer just as I found it on Wikipedia!!! :p Silly...

Celsius and Farenheit are the same at -40. Thank you, meteorology training. :D


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

I'll let Ransom's question stand because there's not much I will willfully eat that's nasty.

[lynnmosher]

Sheesh! Forgot about glass! Thanks for the answer, TW.

Hmmm...well, if it's the worst thing I can think of to eat then I would never willingly eat it! Yuck! I'll let the question stand and see if someone else has a yucky answer!!

[Timber Wolf]

Gee, you publish the answer just as I found it on Wikipedia!!! :p Silly...

Celsius and Farenheit are the same at -40. Thank you, meteorology training. :D

I didn't know you had meterology training. Cool.
Me, I just wanted to know, so solved it algebraically, like Ransom was talking about.

-----

Here:
thinking out loud - let's see, 0c = 32f, 100c = 212f
100C * 9/5 = 180
180 + 32 = 212F
so
9/5 (C) + 32 = F

and 212F - 32 = 180
180 * 5/9 = 100C
so
(F - 32) * 5/9 = C
-----



Sheesh! Forgot about glass! Thanks for the answer, TW.

Sheesh! Forgot about glass! Thanks for the answer, TW.

You're welcome. Sorry to drag it out, sorry for such hard questions.
No I'm not. :)

as for the food question - depends, am I in a survival situation? cause I won't do it for $ like the yutzes on TV. Liver is prbly the worst food I've ever tried to eat, that or oysters - which is prbly the only seafood I don't like.


OK, question is:

At what (aprox) temperature does mercury freeze?

[Rachel E.]

ARRRGH!!! TW, I said stop it! grief... ok, done with my rant and I have NO idea of the answer.
As to the most gross food I'd willfully eat is Lentil's. EWW. My mom makes them sometimes... and when mom's the cook, you best eat. lol

Same question as TW...

[Cymrugirl]

*loves lentils*


-38F


What's your favorite planet in our solar system? okay, besides earth

[Ransom v. Unman]

What's your favorite planet in our solar system? okay, besides earth
Man, so hard to choose! I love Saturn - the gian red storm, the satellite planets, the tremendous size...

But I always also had a soft spot for Venus. I mean, volcanoes, acid rain, constant storms - it just seems like a really intense proving ground to me.

I guess I'll have to pick Saturn because I know more about it, and it makes cooler sounds (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38pJhxCzR-I), too.

...

Do you know what a geoduck is? Would you ever try it?

[Rachel E.]

I looked it up on Wikipedia. If I was feeling especially brave, yes I would try it. I've eaten octopus once...and that was gross, so surely I can try a geoduck! right?

What's your favorite saltwater fish?

[Thebigguy]

Orange ruffy, melts in your mouth! Yummy actually that's cheating I had it on the great lakes but it is a salt water fish so I think I deserve a fair ruling on that. Judges? Who is your favorite protagonist and why?

[Timber Wolf]

Oh, OK. I'll try to ask something easy - just for you.

*loves lentils*


-38F


What's your favorite planet in our solar system? okay, besides earth


Close enough - would have accepted -40c/f (hint, hint)

And I vote for pluto, even (especially) since the astronomers downgraded it - I always try to cheer for the underdog.


I looked it up on Wikipedia. If I was feeling especially brave, yes I would try it. I've eaten octopus once...and that was gross, so surely I can try a geoduck! right?

What's your favorite saltwater fish?


MMMMM, Kallimari, yummy (deep fried - not especially good in stir-fry, yuck, patooie)


Orange ruffy, melts in your mouth! Yummy actually that's cheating I had it on the great lakes but it is a salt water fish so I think I deserve a fair ruling on that. Judges? Who is your favorite protagonist and why?


Favorite protagonist? hmmmmm. Gimli I would have to say.


and my question is.....


what is the melting point of tungsten?
<ducks shoe that Rachel throws>
just kidding.


what color are your eyes?

[Rachel E.]

Thanks TW! LOL... you are SO funny! My eyes are chocolate brown. That is Hilarious! Thanks for the easy question. Now I'll ask your hard one...lol.

what is the melting point of tungsten?
(what is tungsten? lol...)

[Ransom v. Unman]

what is the melting point of tungsten?
(what is tungsten? lol...)
First, what I don't have to look up on Wikipedia:

Tungsten is a metal in the periodic table of elements represented by the symbol "W". It is noted for its hardness, and is often used in drills and machinery.

Now, what I do have to look up on Wikipedia:
It's atomic number is 74, it has the highest melting point of all non-alloyed metals, it is often used in light-bulb filaments (I should've known that! They call it a "Tungsten flash" effect!) and in other high-temperature applications (like rocket ships!)

And for the answer about the melting point question, I had to go even further than Wikipedia to Tungsten.com ("http://www.tungsten.com), and the melting point of Tungsten is 3410° C. :eek:

That's hot!

...

Does science intrigue you, or are there any particular realms of scientific inquiry that do?

[melw]

i used to love Chemistry at school, and balancing out the equations, then got a terrible Chemistry teacher. Now i am more into music and writing

Question stands

MEL

[lynnmosher]

I love reading about light and sound waves and quantum physics. I don't understand it all but it is fascinating to me.
----------------

Let it ride...anyone else?

[Timber Wolf]

Thanks TW! LOL... you are SO funny! My eyes are chocolate brown. That is Hilarious! Thanks for the easy question. Now I'll ask your hard one...lol.

(what is tungsten? lol...)

You made me LOL! :)



....

That's hot!

...

Does science intrigue you, or are there any particular realms of scientific inquiry that do?

3410 * 9/5 + 32 = 6170 F (actually I thought it was closer to 7000F - but it's been awhile since I browsed through my CRC Handbook of Physics and chemistry)


I love reading about light and sound waves and quantum physics. I don't understand it all but it is fascinating to me.
----------------

Let it ride...anyone else?

Ummmmm, I'll let you figure out the answer to that one.


What was your least favorite subject (HS or college) and what do you feel about it now?

[WritingChaos]

Language arts… ok the first I could really remember studding was basically history. The history was focused though and not imposed by the teachers.

[Rachel E.]

Umm... no new question, so I'll answer the old one. My favorite subject in high school, was either Literature or History. I'm a homeschooler, so I got a lot of reading done every day. I love to read, just don't get to do it as much any more.

What's your favorite color?

[ProfessorAlan]

blue, in it's various permutations.
-------------------
what's YOUR favorite color?

[Rachel E.]

Blue also. I love a real smoky blue best, but I just like most blues a lot.


What are you eating for breakfast?

[ProfessorAlan]

granola and milk.
-----------------------
today's weather forecast?

[Ransom v. Unman]

3410 * 9/5 + 32 = 6170 F (actually I thought it was closer to 7000F - but it's been awhile since I browsed through my CRC Handbook of Physics and chemistry)
You never specified C or F. I could've listed it in degrees Kelvin, theoretically... :rolleyes:

today's weather forecast?
Drizzly and cloudy, staying in the mid-to-upper fifties.

...

What's your favourite breed of domesticated dog?

[righter1]

What's your favourite breed of domesticated dog?

Chocolate Labrador Retriever, followed closely by Golden Retriever. :) We just got a chocolate lab and Tucker's so sweet!


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

Same question.

[Timber Wolf]

....

What's your favourite breed of domesticated dog?

Actually I was just commenting on the fact that I thought the melting point was even hotter than stated (it was that I more generally think in F, so had to do the conversion). And yes, we could've used Kelvin. !thumbsup!


Chocolate Labrador Retriever, followed closely by Golden Retriever. :) We just got a chocolate lab and Tucker's so sweet!


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

Same question.


I would have to say Huskie/Malamute or any of the large working breeds.

OK, same question, since I can't come up w/ another.


So you picked Tucker after all.

[Tarin]

Black Lab. But I'm not that picky. ;)



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




Do you prefer veggies or fruits?

[righter1]

So you picked Tucker after all.

:) Hopefully. Hubby's still being wishy-washy about it, but I've given him a few days to come up with something better.

[Timber Wolf]

Black Lab. But I'm not that picky. ;)



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




Do you prefer veggies or fruits?


fruits for most snacks. veggies in stew (peaches, pears and apples just don't sound right) :).


and my question today will be:
what is your favorite method of dispatching your characters?

[Ransom v. Unman]

and my question today will be:
what is your favorite method of dispatching your characters?
In an heroic effort that results in their tragic martyrdom.

...

Favourite way of introducing characters?

[ProfessorAlan]

Usually from the perspective of a character of the opposite sex.
----------------------------
veggies or fruit?

[Rachel E.]

My dog that died was a Golden, I think they are so gorgeous. But probably my favorite's are either Miniature schnauzer or pug. I like either, and I'm wierd...ok.

Close your eyes, turn your head to the left and open them. What do you see?

[Mouse5]

My cat drinking out of the fountain that sits on our end table. (He refuses to drink out of his water dish :rolleyes: )



What is the craziest thing a child has ever asked/told you?

[Timber Wolf]

Close your eyes, turn your head to the left and open them. What do you see?

sorry Mouse - yours has been unanswered for quite sometime, I'm going to answer Rachel's last -if someone wants to pop in w/ an interruption to Mouse's question, feel free to skip mine.


I see a map produced by "Canadian Geographic."

My question is - has anyone looked at considering using elastic resistance bands for part of their exercise routine?

[Xenia]

Mouse: What is the craziest thing a child has ever asked/told you?

My niece. While listening to a conversation about the economy she piped in.."why can't the government just print up some more!"


Timber Wolf[/B];159868]My question is - has anyone looked at considering using elastic resistance bands for part of their exercise routine?

I have used those bands. They work good. I got mine at the pharmacy and they had different strengths for different colors!

My question - Have you taken your electric blanket off the bed for summer yet?

[Rachel E.]

Don't use an electric blanket. But if I did, yes it would be off for the summer.

Had a big day? (I did. My brother's reception that I did the planning for...so I'm exhausted. Night all.)

[jacks girl]

Do I use an Elec blanket. I don't but my water bed does about the same thing. Now hubby uses one that plugs into his cigarette lighter in the truck. it keeps him from having to run his truck on some nights. wanted to mention this encase some of you want to buy one they are really nice and keep you warm while going down the road.

Do you have the same body temp as your mate.

[Timber Wolf]

Don't use an electric blanket. But if I did, yes it would be off for the summer.

Had a big day? (I did. My brother's reception that I did the planning for...so I'm exhausted. Night all.)

Since Rachel was skipped -

Yes I had a big day today. Sunday school and church. Then off to a performance of J.S. Bach's Mass in B Minor - my friend from Sunday school that I am staying w/ was in the choir. Then off to dinner for a birthday party for our Sunday school teacher. I've been gon about 11 hrs.

NA - not quiet sure what you mean.


anybody sing in their church choir?

[Rachel E.]

Our's is not a choir... but that aside. I don't sing in it.. YET. I hope to start Very soon. I love to sing and can quite well. (I"m not being proud, I'm stating facts. there's a difference).


Can you sing?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Can you sing?

Yes. Yes I can.

...

Can you sing well?

[Rachel E.]

OH LOL!! Austin, that is hilarious.

Yes I can sing WELL.

What do you sing?

[Rachel E.]

Hmm... Can I answer my own question? lol... ok, TW? Do you sing, can you answer this so we can move on? lol

[melw]

I am told i can sing well. And i do items at church at times. As my church doesn't have a choir i don't have a chance to be in one. And i do love to sing

What is your biggest phobie? (is it irrational?)


MEL

[Timber Wolf]

Hmm... Can I answer my own question? lol... ok, TW? Do you sing, can you answer this so we can move on? lol

You still want an answer? I've been told I have a good voice. But b/c of my being made fun of in my past I tend to avoid trying to sing in public. I do love to sing hymns and Praise and Worship songs when I'm by myself.

I am told i can sing well. And i do items at church at times. As my church doesn't have a choir i don't have a chance to be in one. And i do love to sing

What is your biggest phobie? (is it irrational?)


MEL

I'll let Mel's question stand.

[Rachel E.]

Probably height's is my biggest fear. Irrational? I don't know. I mean, standing 23 stories above the ground on a grilled floor and looking down is pretty scary to me. Maybe I'm strange.

Same question.

[Mouse5]

My biggest fear would probably have to be.... being forgotten. Irrational? Yea, probably but that doesn't make it any less real.


question stands.

[WritingChaos]

I hate touching paper, and even having a pencil near me. I think it links back to my childhood and the cruddy school experience I had. Thus I think you could look at it that it’s a miracle that I write and or read. I don’t think I could ever do a book signing, so I guess when I do get that far a signed book from me would be rare.

Is there music that can make you cry?

[Rachel E.]

Yes. Often intense worship music makes me cry, especially if it speaks into a situation that I am hurting about. That happens sometimes.


Where did your username come from?

[WritingChaos]

It's what I do. I write chaotically. My current work is called “Feisty + Chaos” as well so it just came to me.

What internet browser do you use?

[Rachel E.]

Internet Explorer 7, I think.

How many emails do you get on a regular day?

[WritingChaos]

Three or so.

Same qustion.

[srussell]

Too many (most of it junk)!

How are you connected to the Internet?



Dial-up
Cable broadband
Internet through power cables
DSL
T1
Wireless
Other

[Rachel E.]

Other - Sattelite

Same question

[WritingChaos]

I think we missed a qustion here. The last qustion asked was "How many emails do you get on a regular day?"

[WritingChaos]

No wait, I'm confused due to crazy post... nevermind.

DSL

You crazy?

[Rachel E.]

Every once in a while, yes. I've been called crazy.

How many kid's do you have?

[jacks girl]

One in heaven, little boy I think.

Two dogs here on earth that feel like eternal Two year Olds.


LOL
Same question

[WritingChaos]

Two but could have been four. They are four and five, both girls.

Do you know any stay at home dads? I'm kind of lonely out here.

[Rachel E.]

Stay at home dad's... Yes I do, but his kids are grown, he's been a stay at home dad for years and years because of his bad back. Sorry your' lonely, must be tough.

How many years have you been a Christian?

[WritingChaos]

My whole life. I've straid at times, but I always came back.

Same qustion.

[saz]

5 years

What can you see from your bedroom window?

[Rachel E.]

Across the valley for miles to the mountains. It's a great view right now with the spring, making the grass grow so green. Later in the year, is's all rather brown.

What is the background on your computer desktop?

[WritingChaos]

Glow bugs.

Do you like useing odd words that people don't normaly use? For example I like to say thinks are "kinky" under the meaning that they are knotted up, or just wrong.

[WritingChaos]

A girl trying to draw, with lots of little items all over her room.

My old qustion stands.

[Rachel E.]

Yes, sometimes. I use the word "odd", sometimes. Or even phrases that aren't used here in the states, like "most unusual" and "Highly unlikely" and "Sweet as" and "Coo-l as" (both of the last two are New Zealand slang).

Same question.

[WritingChaos]

I'll use "Ta" for thank you, brit thing. I sometimes use other slang that most would exspect from me, like "Homie."

Same qustion.

[Rachel E.]

I say "Ta" too! It's NZ as well. I don't much say Homie, but I do say unusual things a lot.

What is the strangest sentence that you use frequently?

[Timber Wolf]

Other - Sattelite

....



How does that work out for you?




....

What can you see from your bedroom window?

Had a racoon rooting around inth yard outside my window earlier today. My cat saw him and ran away from the patio door, and alerted me to him being out there.

I'll use "Ta" for thank you, brit thing. I sometimes use other slang that most would exspect from me, like "Homie."

Same qustion.

I've been around a lot of Brits/Europeans/Aussies and sometimes I'll pick up their verbage. Don't have a specific example.

Do you watch DVDs mostly on your computer DVD player, or on a "regular" DVD player?

[WritingChaos]

I have a 52" 1080 widescreen TV with a PS3, so I watch blue ray with my family.

I have no qustion, read above.

Satillite is great, except when we lose connection due to heavy snows. That stinks. It's so much better than dial-up that I'm grateful. But some of my siblings aren't.

I've spent a lot of time around Aussies and Kiwi's, so I've picked up a lot of their way of speaking. Very funny!

Umm... it's probably 50/50 whatever works better.

My question still stands.

[righter1]

I'm not sure which question is up, so I'm answering the DVD question...

I actually probably "watch" more movies on my laptop than on my TV at home (may change--we're getting cable today.) But, I take my laptop to work with me to listen to music, and if I get bored, I listen to movies and documentaries.

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

Do you have a TV show or shows that you hate to miss? (I do--it's Bones, and am I mad :mad: about the season finale!!!)

[Rachel E.]

Don't watch TV. Don't own a TV. BUT when I do get around a tv with my older siblings, we generally watch Mythbusters.


What's a movie that you've watched more than ten times?

[righter1]

Don't watch TV. Don't own a TV. BUT when I do get around a tv with my older siblings, we generally watch Mythbusters.

Nope, just to keep out of Bekka's hair.

Same qustion.

[righter1]

10 times????? Probably none, if you count having to watch all the way through

but ..... parts of Say Anything, This is Spinal Tap, and Princess Bride
-----------------------------
Memorial Day plans?

In-laws are coming, gotta get my bridesmaids dress done before they show up on Saturday. Other than that, writing (if I can) and trying not to let my in-laws corrupt my dog (teaching him things I don't want him to do!)



Same question.

[Rachel E.]

I'll be downtown selling roasted corn and hotdog's on the street. Our town has a huge memorial day celebration, it's famous for it all over. We get people from Florida and Pennsylvania, that come to our town for the memorial weekend. It's heaps of fun! We're selling the food for a fund-raiser for those of us who are going to Mexico next month. I can hardly wait!!

Same question...

[ProfessorAlan]

Dad'll be in town, so we might hit the town parade, and then do brugers and brats for dinner.

[WritingChaos]

When is this crazy holiday?

[Rachel E.]

Memorial day is on next Monday Chris.


What's your favorite color?

[Ransom v. Unman]

In art and hair - red

In nature - green

What is the one news item from your life that had the greatest impact on you?

[Timber Wolf]

Probably the '64 9.2 AK earthquake had the largest impact on me.

Do you keep off-site backup copies of your work? why not?

[Rachel E.]

off-site? You mean off the computer? I have a few hard copies of my work, but not all of it. I'm not totally sure what you mean by that question.

Do you memorize scripture?

[Ransom v. Unman]

Do you memorize scripture?
Yes. In the original languages if possible. :)

...

Do you know any verses in the original languages of the Bible?

[Rachel E.]

I learned some in Greek, but I don't know if that's what you meant or not. Do you mean Aramaic and Hebrew, or what?


What's your favorite memorized passage in the Bible?

[Timber Wolf]

off-site? You mean off the computer? I have a few hard copies of my work, but not all of it. I'm not totally sure what you mean by that question.

Do you memorize scripture?

that's what I mean - away from your primary writing site (home, wherever), in case of disaster, all copies aren't destroyed. I've got mine backed up on a pocket drive, and some of it is backed up on a secure website -need to get the rest uploaded, but I'm having issues right now - need to get that worked out so can upload.

I learned some in Greek, but I don't know if that's what you meant or not. Do you mean Aramaic and Hebrew, or what?


What's your favorite memorized passage in the Bible?

(You mean KJV isn't the original language? :D)

My favorite memorized passage(s) depends on what's going on in my life. I'll say Proverbs 3:5-6 for now.



Name an event that you remember when it happened (when you heard about it) / where you were / what you were doing.

[righter1]

Name an event that you remember when it happened (when you heard about it) / where you were / what you were doing.

I'm only 26, but I remember when Challenger exploded (I was 3 at the time). -- my mom was at a prayer meeting with some friends. I was there, playing with the other kids.
9/11, of course. -- Getting out of bed. I was in poli-sci class by the time the first tower fell, my teacher released us to go to the student center, and was there with my fellow college-goers when the 2nd tower fell.
RFK's plane crash (I remember curling up with my Star Wars Ep. 1 throw to watch coverage.)--I think I was getting out of bed here, too.
When a guy I went to school with died of heat stroke during football practice when I was about 17--helping my mom fix dinner.
When my great-great Aunt Elsa died -- at work.
Frank Sinatra's death -- just getting up in the morning.
Ronald Reagan's death -- just getting home from shopping with hubby. I turned on the TV and saw, then I had to call my mom and tell her.

I'm sure there are others, but can't think of them off hand.



Same question... it's a goody.

[Timber Wolf]

I'm not going to answer - yet, but let's add what you were doing when you heard the news.

[righter1]

So I guess my quesiton is still back up via Righter.
I'm still refraining from answering.

[Xenia]

I remember the day Elvis died. I was driving in my car down a daily route and had just crossed the rail road tracks of that road when it was announced over the radio.

Other memories too but I will keep those....

Same question ~ it's a good one

[jacks girl]

The day that comes to mind is the day the Great Dale Earnhardt died. I had been watching the race in the truck in Alabama with hubby. I had just went in side to call and tell dad to pray for Dale that the wreck looked bad. got off the phone and some lady in the truck stop said she heard dale had died. I got back to the truck and later on they finally announced it. Two days later I seen it for the first time in Pennsylvania in the news paper. We were picking up something at an Amish farm. They made their own electric there. it was a sad day for race fans.

I also remember 911. We woke up in a truck stop in CT. I went in to get some breakfast at Burger king and they were talking about it. By the time i came back to the truck hubby was listening to Howard Stern talk about it. Later on that day we drove through NY but we wasn't close to the city.



I remember the day i heard Keith Whitley died. I was in Ky it was raining and we heard it on the radio.

[Timber Wolf]

Well, since Jack's didn't ask a question:

I remember wehn President Reagan was shot. Was at home in OR getting ready to go register for the next term, friend of my mom's calls up - "Turn on the TV, Regan's been shot!"

The Challenger explosion - at the gym early in the morning getting chngd in the locker room, could hear the TV out in the hall, only half listening and then caught the update of what had happened, finished dressing dashed out to see what was going on.

9/11 - was teaching and up late so slept in, was finishing getting dressed while radio played - only half awake, kinda in a dream like state, wsan't paying much attn, the news announcer repeats the story about how both towers had collapsed by then, called my bro on phone - he tells me planes had flown into towers/pentagon, and the PA flight had gone done. Prbly the most painful news I've heard, other than my own famly stuff.

Princess Di killed - was still in bed, alarm had gone off and radio playing, not quite woken up, finally get up take shower and while dressing they play the news again that she had been killed inthe car crash.

and lived through 3 majorearthquakes that were all in the national news as I recollect,
AK - 9.2 (largest to heit NA continent), 1964, OR 6.2 (largest to hit in 50 yrs) - 1993 I believe, and WA 6.8 (largest in previous 50 yrs or so) - 2001

I'll let the question stand.

[WritingChaos]

I remember being in the middle of downtown Fort Worth TX in the year 1999. I was waiting for the moment of either chaos, or a big fizzle. I got a fizzle when 2000 came and kept laughing about it for a good while. All the Y2K bull, people building bomb shelters… I still see half done ones off and on.

When was your first kiss, with whom, and do you wish you could take it back?

[righter1]

When was your first kiss, with whom, and do you wish you could take it back?

My first kiss was when I was almost 19 years old and 9 months (a couple weeks before Christmas, which is 9 months to the day after my birthday.) It was with the only man I've ever dated, who ended up becoming my husband. The circumstances were a bit squirrelly, and the initial result was a big misunderstanding that took nearly a week for both of us to come to terms with, but looking back, it's kind of funny, and I don't wish to take it back at all. :)


I like this question, so I'll let it keep going. :)

[Ransom v. Unman]

When was your first kiss, with whom, and do you wish you could take it back?
It was with this girl named Elizabeth in pre-school when I was three years old. I hardly remember it, but she was really pretty and really nice, and I don't have any particular regrets about it.

The first kiss I had after that, on the other hand...

...

Ever been in a fight?

[ProfessorAlan]

I remember that I annoyed the tough kid in 8th grade, and he told me he would beat me up after school, over by the bleachers. I can't remember if I went or not. No particular memory of the fight. Have never thrown a punch at anyone in anger.

I'm with the Prof. on this one... I've got a hot temper, but I can't remember intentionally ever hitting anybody, well, maybe with the possible exception of my husband if we're playing around and one or both of us gets a little too wound up... I did take karate, so I've hit people in class before... :)

If you were putting together a scavenger hunt in an outdoor shopping/dining venue, what types of items would you have the participants photograph/get?

[melw]

We have done a few of these. We had them had groups. Like everyone of the group had a photo taken at a bus stop. Find the coolest place in town (no particular place) In other photos is was just 2 or 3 of the group. Some people makes things up as we had.

I also know some great ideas for video scavenger hunts.

Does anyone like getting away from home even if just for the weekend? Like no TV or normal distractions?

MEL

[Rachel E.]

Yes, I love to go camping or on a weekend trip. But most of our trips are on Friday-Saturday rather than Sunday. Which I don't mind, I dislike missing church.

Do you use quick reply or post reply?

Does anyone like getting away from home even if just for the weekend? Like no TV or normal distractions?


I asked this question bevause we had jsut sepnt the long weekend away from home, there was a TV, but we didn't use it much. It was nice to play board games, lawn bowls, use the boat and canoes. (i think this is what Timberwolf was asking)

What is your favourite comfort clothing? What do you wear when you are feeling a bit down and makes you feel better?

MEL

[jacks girl]

i like these black soft PJ's i have, and an old white shirt with green 4 leaf clovers on it.

Also i heard about a neighbor of my aunts that had a stroke and the memory part of her mind was playing songs over and over in her head. it was driving her nuts and it was playing one amazing grace then 3 other songs over and over all the time. I found this interesting.

Ummmmm, that I shouldn't leave my wallet, etc in my room when I'm not there?

Seriously, I'd say that I've learned that maybe, just maybe I really would like to teach - even though I wouldn't admit it before.

You don't have to settle for anything... For thousands of years children were raised without Disney products, and I certainly wasn't raised on any that came out after Aladdin, so you have options. ;)

what's on the radio now?

Bad music and inane chatter.

What's your least favourite Disney movie?

[righter1]

You don't have to settle for anything... For thousands of years children were raised without Disney products, and I certainly wasn't raised on any that came out after Aladdin, so you have options. ;)

Good point...

Quite frankly, I'm considering trying to convince my hubby that we shouldn't allow the kids to watch anything made prior to Star Wars until they're old enough to be able to appreciate the awe of the movie, then allow them to watch newer stuff. So much changed after Star Wars in cinematography and technology, I think it'd be a fascinating experiment to try with them...


What's your least favourite Disney movie?

That I've seen???

The Lion King

I'm not too fond about some of the messages in Pocahantas, but I'll admit that I haven't seen the movie...


Same question

[Timber Wolf]

I don't watch much Disney. Did when I was around nieces and nephews wanting to watch them. Hated the nonsense in a lot of them - Pocahantas for one.

What room is on the other side of the wall nearest where your computer is?

If I was at home, and at my desk, it would be nothing because it's an outside wall.


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


Same question.

[melw]

the other side from the computer is outside or in our entryway. In the entry way is a distressed photoframe with 3 of our wedding photos in it. And a box of shoes.

What gets your goat?

MEL

[Dr. Daniel]

People who hate New York City! (Got that, Merry? :D)

Same question...

[Xenia]

Supervisors who can't discern when they are being manipulated!

Is there a difference between a "goat" and a "peave"? What's your pet peave?

[Timber Wolf]

People who think that NYC is the cat's meow. :D


What's on the other side of the wall that is behind you?

[Xenia]

another persons cubicle.

name of your highschool football team?

[Timber Wolf]

Seahawks was the school team name, no football team, though.

Same question.

[Rachel E.]

I didn't go to public school. But my local high school's football team is the Bulldogs. And they are pretty good. We have a lot of sports at our school, although I never did any, I enjoy watching the homecoming game.

Where have I been for the last ten days?

[Timber Wolf]

with your mom and sis while sis gets chemo? (or a missions trip?)

Cpt Cook arrived 6 May 1770
Captain Arthur Phillip led the First Fleet into the bay on 18 January 1788.

What science fiction series refered to a ship named "Botany Bay?"

[Mouse5]

Science fiction series? As in television series? Didn't the original Star Trek series refer to a ship as "Botany Bay" in one of it's episodes. Hmmm..... can't remember the title of the episode. There's my question.

What's the title of the Star Trek episode that refers to the ship "Botany Bay" ?

[melw]

Cpt Cook arrived 6 May 1770
Captain Arthur Phillip led the First Fleet into the bay on 18 January 1788.



The official day is 26 January that we celebrate as Australia day. But they did look around and decide Bontany bay wasn't good for a settlement. So they went into Port Jackson, which is what you would now call Sydney Harbour.


MEL

What's the worst sickness you've ever had?

[Xenia]

I believe it was strep throat but the doctor called it something else. I think if I hadn't went to the doctor when I finally did that I could have died... whewheee I was sick!

Do you know what a raspberry is - the kind that's made by sticking your tongue out and blowing? If you do then can you spell that sound? (i often wish there was a dictionary for expression sounds like that :p)

[Rachel E.]

phbbbt?? phsssst??
Hmm... interesting thought! I don't know for sure.

I think so... But, I can't spell the sound. Though, I always thought it was sucking more than blowing... maybe I'm confused.


Are you generally trustful or distrustful of people on the internet? Does the same go for those here on CW?

[Rachel E.]

Generally distrustful of people on the internet. Here on CW, I have a bit more faith, but I try to find out about the person before doing anything with them. There are some people here who are obviously who they claim to be. Other's it's hard to tell sometimes.


Are you what most people would call "gullible"?

Are you what most people would call "gullible"?

:) I'm the same way... I try to be careful on Facebook (unless it's family or known friends), but here, I'm more relaxed--unless we get a cyber attack, which has happened a few times.


Gullible... Hmm... I used to be pretty naïve, but I've mostly grown out of that. I don't know if that's the same as being gullible, though. I think it depends on how tired I am, or if I'm willing to play along. Some people try to pull my leg on things a lot, and if I know them, I can sometimes read their body language and know it, so I'd say I'm not too gullible.

The naïve thing took me getting around my husband more and more... There was a lot of stuff I should have known when I got married to him that I had no clue about... Even 5 years and 10 months later (to the day today!!!), there's still stuff he teaches me that I would have known had I not been so sheltered as a teenager.

....

I like Rachel's question, so let it ride!

Gullible, huh? Don't know. Do want to think the best of people, cause it's so easy to think the worst. If somebody walks up to me in a store parking lot asking for money to get gas, cause they ran out and gotta get home to Tacoma (or ???) I usually don't hand them any money. On the other hand when someone was at the gas station. I told them to drive there gar around and I would buy them gas. They did, and I did. Maybe they were telling the truth, maybe not, but at least I didn't just give them money - which sometimes I do cause I feel "guilty" or whatever, at the time.

Just poking my head in for a minute to say that I got a kick out of the spelling options for the raspberry! fun :).

Not sure what "MS" is so I'll pass TWs question on to the next person...

[Rachel E.]

Xenia, MS is "manuscript" as in... the book you are writing. Does that make better sense? sorry about that!

To answer TW's question. I'm stuck on my Historical fic about the French Revolution, I think I called it, "Up Sails" but not sure about that. It's got me stumped currently, and I'm so busy... I'm having a hard time finding time to get "Un-stumped"... sigh.

Same question.

[righter1]

What MS are you stuck on?

Probably all of the ones I've got open right now... :eek:

What will you do for the 4th of July celebration? (or for you Aussies, Kiwis, Brits, Canadians, etc., what is your next national holiday, and if it's country specific what does it represent?)

[righter1]

What will you do for the 4th of July celebration? (or for you Aussies, Kiwis, Brits, Canadians, etc., what is your next national holiday, and if it's country specific what does it represent?)

This year, I think I'm going to go to a friend's house and watch them shoot off fireworks. My hubby is going to go canoeing (supposedly) with his cousin, so I'll have a few days to my lonesome. I'll probably take some pictures--I like to try to photograph fireworks. :D

What's your favorite holiday? (National, religious, or other--doesn't matter.) What do you usually do on that day?

[Mouse5]

What's your favorite holiday? (National, religious, or other--doesn't matter.) What do you usually do on that day?

I love Thanksgiving. I get to cook loads of food for family and friends. And I really enjoy serving everyone. It is tiring but very fulfilling. :)

I like this question so lets stay with it.

[melw]

i think my favourite holiday is Christmas. Not because of the presents. It is the time with family and friends. We have been 'adopted' into a wonderful family as our family aren't around us.

What is your favourtie things about writing?

[Rachel E.]

Coming up with a plot and believable characters. I also enjoy naming them. That's my favorite part.

Same question.

[kshsj777]

When I think my story ideas are so cool and I just have to write about it and I just love my characters and then dialogue pops in my head and then everything else comes and then and then and then.....

Same question :)

[Timber Wolf]

favourite thing about writing? hmmmmm.

finding a good outlet for my overactive imagination. I don't create characters or plots. The characters simply show up on the doorstep asking me for handouts, then when I feed them they start telling me their life story.


Of the homes in the America's most expensive homes slideshow (http://www.forbes.com/realestate/2008/05/19/property-expensive-homes-forbeslife-cx_mw_0519realestate_slide_7.html?partner=msnre)wh ich would you pick if oney were of no concern (think a long run of continuous best-sellers - hey we are writers, we're supposed to have great imaginations).

For extra credit which one would I choose. (Let's see how much aybody's learned about the habits and habitat of Timber Wolf over the last 6 mnths :D)

I think TW would choose the same one I would-- the BootJack Ranch in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. Although, I really like the architecture in the Portabello Estate in Corona del Mar, California... ;)


Same question...

[Timber Wolf]

yep, I would indeed - good job.

Question stands since Righter already gave my answer. :D

[Timber Wolf]

it's not that hard of a question folks!

[Rachel E.]

I think we need to give up on TW's question, it has everyone stumped, and we are losing this thread, and that would be really sad!

soo.....

What time did you get up this morning?

[ProfessorAlan]

Awake at 6 AM, up by about 7 AM.
------------------------------
Big plans for the day?

[SkeeterFranklin]

I got up at 7:36. My first word was, "Darn!" because I missed Mass, then apologized to Jesus and thanked Him for a new day.

What is your favorite color and why? (an unimaginative question)

[Rachel E.]

My favorite color is a smoke blue, and I love it cause... it's gorgeous? umm.... cause... i like it? umm... just cause... it's the best color in the world!

What is your favorite WIP right now?

[SkeeterFranklin]

My favorite color is blue too. My favorite WIP right now is my novel, Journey to Emmaus. Rewriting part of chapter 1 is making it come more alive and is very exciting. I am having a hard time with the query letter, though. Good question, Rachel. Let's keep it.

[righter1]

What is your favorite WIP right now?

Hmmm... I have so many... I don't know!!! Probably Cora's Song, though Murder of Innocence has me pretty enthralled right now... Both have a lot more romantic suspense in them than my first project that I'm working on, Homebody, and they're more fun to write. :)


I like the big plans for the day question, so I'll repeat it. :)

Well I didn't think it was that hard. Thanks for rescuing the thread 6 days before it was due to expire.

Big plans?

I have to go get fingerprinted for the new teaching job (about the bizillionth time I've been fingerprinted), and then I am going to lunch w/ my spiritual grandma, she's somebody I consider a spiritual councilor, she takes me out to lunch every couple of mnths and catches me up on events at my od church.


My question is- How has the high price of gas affected your driving habits?

[righter1]

My question is- How has the high price of gas affected your driving habits?

I don't think it's affected them THAT much... yeah, my husband and I don't just go for drives anymore unless we know where we want to end up, and I try to drive my husband's car rather than my truck when possible, and I cringe when we haul the boat to the lake and stop to put fuel in it....

But, other than the random driving thing, I don't think I've altered my thinking where driving is concerned. In fact, we're trying to sell my husband's Saturn and I keep telling him I want a Jeep Commander (3rd row seating!!! And not a van!!!) If that's not a gas hog, I don't know what is, other than maybe a Hummer H1--which I would get if I could afford to purchase a car that sells new for around 100K!


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

I'm not feeling creative with questions, so I'll kindly repeat TW's latest...

[Rachel E.]

TW, you are more than welcome for my rescuing your thread. I really enjoyed this thread, and I'm glad it didn't die... it's the longest I've ever seen, and what a shame for it to die!!!

Gas prices have affected my family, due to the fact that we have to go over to Denver regularily because of my sister. So we now rent a car rather than taking one of our vehicles. Also we don't go much of anywhere now.

Do you have a big garden, or a little one, or just a flower patch?

[melw]

we have a rather large garden. We have front yard which we have a few plants, but we don't concentrate on that, basically let if fend for itself.

Our backyard is what we use more. A quarter of it is taken up with a huge vegie patch, my hubby does that. The rest is lawn and a clothesline.

MEL

What do you love about where you live???

[Timber Wolf]

the woods - grew up in the country, and have missed trees.

same question

[kshsj777]

I don't care much for where I live, but I want to live up north on some property my grandpa gave my dad. It's some woods by a pond.

I also just want to move far far away...

same question

[SkeeterFranklin]

We live in the city near church, school, bus line, stores, gym. We have nice neighbors, and are close to our families so our children could grow up knowing their relatives (most of them). And the area we live in is pretty safe. Some day I hope to move to a more country setting in a log cabin with a nice big - very big- swimming pool.

What is your favorite TV program?

[righter1]

What is your favorite TV program?

FOX's Bones. I love the interplay between the two main characters, although I was peeved at the ending of last season... :( Looking forward to next season, though. :D

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

Same question

or you can answer this one (I'll leave it up to you):

If you couldn't live in the country where you live now, what country would you choose to live in and why?

If you couldn't live in the country where you live now, what country would you choose to live in and why?

TV - show: I don't watch TV. I do watch about 5 hrs a week of shws in the internet. Trying to wean myself off of them, as I decided most aren't worth my time. But prbly my fav shows were NCIS and Numbers ( I may still watch them, and just cut out the CSI shows.

What country - prbly Israel, or Switzerland.
Why? Cause Is rael is the Holy Land, and Switzerland, is well Switerland.

casue I'm really tired and feeling lazy, same question, er questions

[Rachel E.]

I would live in Switzerland, Austria, or New Zealand.. and why? Switzerland cause it's free, has skiing, and has moutains. Austria, cause it's gorgeous, and NZ because I've heard heaps about it, and I think I'd love it.

How many kids do you have (if married) if not, how many siblings?

[srussell]

I have 3 kids, 1 boy (age 13) and 2 girls (ages 12 and 8). By the end of November, they will be 14, 13, and 9.


Do you have any siblings who are either 10 years younger or older than you?

[Rachel E.]

Yes I do I have 4 siblings, 2 boys and 2 girls, that are 10 years or more younger than me. good question btw.

What is your favorite fiction book? author?

[Timber Wolf]

Ummmmmmm, Tolkien - LotR :D

same question (I know, I know)

[ProfessorAlan]

I don't believe in favorites, too limiting ....... so I'll just put in a plug for Terry Brooks
--------------------------
Olympics: really looking forward, couldn't care less, or somewhere in between?

[SkeeterFranklin]

Somewhere in between. I will watch swimming and sometimes other events while my family does. But I'm usually too busy to watch TV.

same question

[kshsj777]

Firebird Trilogy by Kathy Tyers

Best sci-fi in the world... honest.

[Rachel E.]

umm... no question I see... so I'll ask one! ;)


Have you ever heard of Skulpey? If so, what is it?

[kshsj777]

No idea what it is, Rachel.

Same question.

[sweet-jay]

well, I just learned of skulpey on here, a couple of minutes ago. But from what i got from the website below, it's a type of polymer clay that can be moulded and put in a conventional oven to harden
www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Sculpey

my question is... "Does age difference matter as far as marriage is concerned?"

[kshsj777]

Depends.

If you're talking about 18 and 28.... then yes it does matter.
58 and 68? Who cares?

Same question.

[SkeeterFranklin]

Here is some silly illogic: Since women tend to outlive men, maybe the wife should be older than the husband by the number of years women outlive men, so they can walk to heaven together - holding hands. LOL!

What is your favorite time of day?

[kshsj777]

Any time that is not 6 am!!!

Same question.

[Rachel E.]

Probably 530 in the summer, and 630-7 in the winter. When the sun comes up... yes. beautiful.

Same question.

[jacks girl]

I love the sunrise what ever time and sunset. Best times of the day. I notice 11"11 on the clock more than i do anything. i get would up at 1 to 3 am when i should be going to bed.

Same question and what time do you see on the clock more than any.

[Timber Wolf]

favorite time of day? sleepy-bye time :D time I see on the clock the most often? 3:57 :D

OK easy question (I hope), what "style" of house would you build, if money were no object?

[SkeeterFranklin]

oh boy, i get to answer this question.
I would build a log cabin - L-shaped, with an L-shaped porch. Inside the L in the back I would build a huge deck. This would be set in a clearing surrounded by woods, with a beautiful mountain scene in the background.

Same question

[Rachel E.]

I would build a two story log house with a huge unfinished or partially finished basement, for a giant game room, and the first floor would be a huge kitchen and dining room area, with a fairly large living room area off of that, with a nice bathroom, and then at the back a big spiral staircase going upstairs, where I would have a huge master bedroom/bath, and two guest bedrooms. Then I'd have a pull down staircase and a Massive loft. Outside the Master suite, I'd have a balcony area with a hot-tub with a gorgeous view for miles of mountains and trees, and meadows... and cows and horses.
the end.!!! LOL.

Good question, I like it TW.

Have you ever ran a double-bitted axe?

[kshsj777]

I don't not even know what a double bitted axe is except I am assuming it's an axe. If my assumption is correct, then no. If it is not, then probably, no.

If you could invent a word to add to the English language, what would it be and what would it mean?

[Timber Wolf]

....

Have you ever ran a double-bitted axe?


Is that just a double-bladed axe?, or something different? We had to split wood when I was a kid, don't remember if we ever used double-blades or i it was always singles, w/ an occassional splitter thrown in for good measure.

We have siblings that indicate brothers and sisters, we have cousin - which indicates both male and female. We need a word that indicates the children of my siblings, both male and female. Some word like:

niephecwes :D or something.


what would you do w/ the first million you make from your book sales??

[Rachel E.]

I'd buy a 500 acre ranch. Either that, or I'd buy a couple acres and build a house... so I can get married... hmm..
TW, a double bitted is the same as double bladed, it's the proper term.

What perfume/cologne do you wear?

[righter1]

What perfume/cologne do you wear?

Whatever I have on hand and I'm in the mood for...

Right now, it's usually a Victoria's Secret, but I split it among 2 kinds, and I can't remember what they are. One smells a little like cinnamon and hubby really likes it. I also like JLO: Glow, Bulgari, and Lolita Lempicka, but I'm either out of or nearly out of all three of those. :(



Do you eat candy? If so, what's your favorite kind?

[SkeeterFranklin]

my favorite candy is CHOCOLATE-COVERED PEANUTS served on an extremely generous helping of star-gazer icecream with a mountainous portion of whipped cream. Good thing I swim laps.

[Timber Wolf]

no question - so:

what movie does my signature line come from?

[Rachel E.]

I have no idea so I'll let someone else answer this.

[SkeeterFranklin]

Does it come from the movie, Timber Wolf? I looked it up.
There is also a Timberwolf Bed & Breakfast in North Carolina, near Timberwolf Creek. The picture was beautiful.

If I'm wrong - same question.
If I'm right - What is your favorite song?

[Rachel E.]

I dont' have any idea whether you are wrong or right.
My favorite song is probably "Fingerprints of God" by Steven Curtis Chapman.

Have you ever heard of Red Charlie?

PS. isn't it cool? I think we are on page 150!! awesome!

[Timber Wolf]

I'll give a hint - it's a SF series (and was also a mini-series) - sorry I said "what movie?" didn't I.

Favorite song - hmmmmmmm, I have a fav book, but song. Favorite music is Classical and Christian (various types, no "chrisitan rock").

I'll let my question stand for a bit. One of the SF guys / gals might recognize it.

[Timber Wolf]

I missed that Rachel had gone to the next pg.

Is it a perfume?

I Let my question stand.

150 pgs and still counting, thanks to Rachel saving the thread.
And I've got way too many posts in here. Way more than Warrior Talk, where I've been registered for years, and years, nd I've been here less than 1 year.
Hmmmmmmm, tells me something.

[SkeeterFranklin]

Was your name from the series, Night Stalker?

What is your wildest dream?

TW, you have been my buddy since you joined here, I'd do a lot for you, and saving your awesome thread that I'm so grateful to you for starting is the least of it!
And yes, it's a perfume... a nice one! lol...

You wouldn't want to know... depends if you are talking day dreams or night dreams(mares)... too scary to think about.
I still don't know, so still TW's same question.

[kshsj777]

I forget most of my dreams, or I turn them into stories, so I forget the original dream. I've had some scary screams that made me wake up. Usually the dreams are dark, in tight spaces with skulls and evil creepy stuff. But I rarely have those dreams.

It's been a while since I remembered a dream. I know you dream every night, but I don't remember a lot of them.

Have you ever turned any of your dreams into stories?

[melw]

i have only ever used aspects of dreams. Parts of it, but i imagine the dream story and how it would go in my life.

What is your favourtie smell?

I love roses and fried onions but seperately :p

MEL

I still don't know, so still TW's same question.

I can't take credit for this thread - I think Xenia started this one.
Are you wondering how I knew it was perfme? :D

MEL
Fav smell - depends. Firecrackers is one, burned gun powder is another. (hey you asked :D) Film emulsion, developer, and stop bath are others.
Oh and I do like roses too.


I'm gonna leave my question stand - want to see if any of our SF writers recognize it. (it wasn't from Night Stalker that was more horror / Fantasy).

I'll give another hint (which I forgot / didn't know) There was a two-part mini series, the following year a separate 3-part mini series, and then the TV series - it lasted only one season.

[Rachel E.]

You're right TW, Xenia did start it... hmm, wonder why I thought you did. wierd.

Anyway, you're still my buddy and what I said still applies.
and I STILL dont' know the answer to your question!

[Timber Wolf]

Prbly cause it was my question that we all got stuck on. And you're my buddy too.
