Interview the person below you ~ a game

[Rachel E.]

Aww.... so touched, thanks TW, you're a great friend. and what you said, is probably true.

Are you going to tell us... or are we waiting for some sci-fi people to get on here? lol

[Timber Wolf]

I'm going to prayer meeting. If no one has gotten it tonight I will give the answer (if I remember), otherwise in the morning.

[Timber Wolf]

OK - Nobody gave it a shot.

My sig line is a quote from "V: The mini series"

What writing goals did you have for the year? Did you meet any of them?
What goals do you have for the rest of the year?

[righter1]

What writing goals did you have for the year? Did you meet any of them?
What goals do you have for hte rest of the year?

Get an agent. No, I haven't met that one. :( For the rest of the year, I'm going to try to learn to juggle my schedule between my new "job" as a real estate investor (hubby & I are trying to get up and running again so I can work at home), being a new mom in a couple months, and writing. Hubby thinks I need to drop writing, but I don't think he understands how integral it is to who I am. I've been a writer for 12 years or more--even have a J-school degree!--and I can't stop.


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

What is one thing you wish people understood about you that you think no one does?

[MsDee]

That what comes out of my mouth should not be a reflection of who I am because I am a better writet than speaker/talker and also that they understand my sense of humor which is dry.

Dont count my post as brilliant writing LOL



How often do you write and for how long?

[Thebigguy]

My childhood was pretty rough and sometimes people think my working through stuff is rediculous and I need to just get over it. I don't think that there is a magic pill that will "fix" me however, I think I do need to let go of myself pity it really is ugly.

What is your favorite thing to eat for breakfast?

[Thebigguy]

Whoops!I'm afraid Dee got in there before me! I write a couple paragraphs at this point and sometimes a page. right now it's drawing a map and making up the history of my world not so much plot at this point I have to have and backround and history before I can flesh out the Characters and plot more.
And I like omlets for breakfast especially with smoked Gouda or sharp chedder cheese , maybe with some Choriso or broccoli or something.

[Thebigguy]

Whoops again! Ok what is your colors, uh ... fall, spring, summer, winter...
If your a guy what uh is your favorite movie?

[Rachel E.]

I'm a girl and my color's are winter. Blues black, white, pink, red, yes... hot colors.
Favorite movie is probably Pride and Prejudice (A&E) or Ben-Hur

How do you feel about swear words in your writing?

[righter1]

How do you feel about swear words in your writing?

I'm cool with it as long as it's in character for the characters I'm dealing with. Certain ones swear, some don't, some only do when they're really aggravated or angry. Of course, I seem to be in the minority whenever we have the question go 'round in the forums here... :rolleyes:


What's your favorite genre of movie?

[Timber Wolf]

uhhhhh, "guy movies" (is that a genre?) :D

what hair style do you have?

[righter1]

uhhhhh, "guy movies" (is that a genre?) :D

what hair style do you have?

Would that be 'action'????


Hair = long, basically unkempt. I try to trim it when it gets bad. Don't think that's a style, other than the frazzled, halfway Einstein look I have.


movie genre question again. :D

[melw]

movies i am sucker for a good romance or comedy. I like my share of drama.

Give me a movie i may cry in either from emotions or laughter, andi will have enjoyed that. That is my main criteria. But dont' ask me for war movies

MEL

Same move genre question.

[MsDee]

Movies? Science Fiction all the way. even the cheesy ones and the old B movies.
Love to do an MSt3K while watching the sci fi channel on the weekends with hubby

Hair- Long and curly now, my natural look. I dont thinkim gonna change it again


Anyone a big fan of lOST? If so How do you feel about the use of the Bible by the writers?

Old "B" SCIFI are great - what's MSt3K?

Lost - Everyone tells nme to get lost. :D Don't watch the show. If they don't use the BIble in an irreverant way then I don't have a pblm w/ it.

I'm feeling lazy this AM, so same question.

[MsDee]

MST3K is Mystery Science Thetare three thousand. Its ashow where a man who is stuck in space and his three robot friends are forced to watch B movies by an evil professor.

The audiences watches the characters watch the movie and they diss/comment /make fun of the entire movie from begin to end and its funny stuff.

If I can find a clip I'll post it

Lost does not use the Bible irreverently, so far ...it hasnt if it does they lose a big fan

[righter1]

I don't watch Lost, so can't really comment. I haven't seen MSt3K, though I've heard of it.

Since it doesn't seem we have any other active question, I'll ask this question:

Do you have a cell phone? If so, what ringer is the one that plays the most on your phone? (I have groups so one group of people has one ringer, another has something different, etc.)

does "vibrate" count - I have my cell phone (my only phone) for my convinence, not for everybody elses.

do you like the iPhone? why? why not?
do you know what an iPhone is?

[melw]

i know what the iphone is, but am not in a hurry to get one.

It costs too much money that i can use on other things.


What piece of technology (apart from computers) could you not live without?

MEL

[righter1]

What piece of technology (apart from computers) could you not live without?

MEL

Hmmm.... probably my cell phone. I do 90% of my calling with it, run my business with it, etc. I'm not at home a lot, and if I forget my cell at home I feel naked without it.


Same question.

[kshsj777]

Apart from computers? NO TECHNOLOGY IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN MY COMPUTER!!!!! LOL!!!

I'd have to say my hearing aids, the FM system, closed captioning...

Cell phone? Not so much. Not until webcaptel works on one I can afford. Once that happens, my cell phone will become 2nd place to my computer in the realm of technology.

[Timber Wolf]

ummmmm, my Borg implants - w/out them I just couldn't live
<AHEM> Sorry, wrong forum. There was no question-

Do you wear any kind of "rememberance" bracelet? (MIA/POW, or the newer rubber ones that sprang off of the original cancer bracelets, WWJD, etc.) If so, do you want to say what it is for?

[Russ~Anna Lee]

When I first became a Christian 34 yrs ago I wore a leather band that said Jesus on it I wore it for years...I did wear a yellow Lance Armstrong Livestrong until it broke...If I had the Jesus band again I would still wear it....
PS I had a POW bracelet but I am allergic to medal so I had to stop wearing it...

I am new to this thread so I am not sure what and what has not be asked so forgive me if I duplicate...
If you could interview any author dead or alive who would it be and why?

[Timber Wolf]

fiction - prbly Tolkien, just to know about him as a person
non-fiction - not sure

Same question

[Thebigguy]

I'm not sure maybe Lewis or George Lucas to tell you the truth I wouldn't know the first thing to say to them I'm not sure I'm much of an inteviewer.

What's something fun you like to do when no one else is around? Lets keep this PG please.

[Calrew1]

I can't help it... i love to sing and dance... and talk in a british accent. but my wife knows i do it... in fact she laughs at me.

What is your favorite bible verse?
Chapter?
Book?

realizing it may change from time to time.

It's time for lunch, so what are you having?

[melw]

MEL

[Thebigguy]

G'day Mel I believe you were suppose to leave me a question. Shall I go ahead and do that alrighty. What was the first movie you ever saw? The Recuers I think I was four or was that three it was scary I didn't like the skull it was too scary for me but I think I tried not to put up a fuss cause I didn't want them to take me out of the theatre. Brutus and the other Alegater were really scared me too.
I thought they might eat the girl, I thought they might eat me. The second movie I saw the next year was Star Wars I was MUCH more mature then and could handle the action and violence. sigh. I'm so mature.(snicker).
Same question: What was the first movie you ever saw?

[melw]

sorry i forgot to leave a question. I can't really know for sure my first ever movie. But i do remember jungle book when i was really young.

Same question

MEL

[Rachel E.]

That I can rememeber when I was little tiny was a kids movie called "The Amazing Book" about the Bible, also "Adventures in Odyssey" for a looong time.

What is your favorite barn animal? Least favorite?

[righter1]

What is your favorite barn animal? Least favorite?

Favorite: horses
Least favorite: pigs. Maybe goats (the eyes get to me...)


Same question.

[Rachel E.]

Have to agree with you Liberty.

Favorite horses
least favorite ABSOLUTELY GOATS, although sheep pull a close second. I should know, my family owns goats... I hate them.

What is your favorite letter of the alphabet?

[Timber Wolf]

hmmmmmmm, interesting question
V - for victory (also a couple of good movies)
x - for algebra equations
z - for Zorro

do you know what 419 (that is 4/19) is (was)? or the "5th of November?"

[Rachel E.]

nooooo I don't know...

Same question.

[melw]

The 19th of April????

sorry no idea,

same question

MEL

[PattyU]

Well, I think they call those annoying email scams that promise you money AFTER you send them money first -419s. But I'm not 100% sure that's what you're looking for.

I googled 419 and 4/19 and there are some other possibilities such as CHristian ministries based on Bible references - Gal. 4:19 and Matthew 4:19. I don't know the connection to the 5th of November, so I may not even have this question half way right.

I don't know if I should add a question since I'm unsure if I'm correct. I'll wait and see if Timber pops back on and grades my answer. ;)

[righter1]

I think 4/19 was the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing.

Nov. 5th (this year) is the day after election day. But, maybe it's TW's birthday... :p


Until we get an answer, let this one ride...

[kshsj777]

So what is the question?

[righter1]

do you know what 419 (that is 4/19) is (was)? or the "5th of November?"

This is the question.

[Timber Wolf]

I don't know if I should add a question since I'm unsure if I'm correct. I'll wait and see if Timber pops back on and grades my answer. ;)

actually that may be a correct referecnce (I think there is a "419," either a form or an error associated w/ electronic filing, related to the IRS), but that' why I put it in the date form 4/19.
(I believe it's also associated w/ drug use).


I'll give a hint before I give the answer
Think of Massachusets, and did anyone ever see "V: For Vendetta?"

[Timber Wolf]

Well, since no one has taken a shot at it, let's do:

what is your favorite animal ?

[kshsj777]

I don't know. I like both dogs and cats.

Same question.

[melw]

depends what mood i am in. Favourte animal to look at probably Tigers. Favourite animal as a kid horses. The animal i want as a pet is a dog. We aren't allowed one yet

What is the best way to lose weight?

MEL

[Timber Wolf]

have your jaw wired shut for 6 weeks (yes I have had it done - not really a diet plan I endorse, had had my jaw broken on the job)

what's the worse injury you have had

[Russ~Anna Lee]

Not exactly an injury... in that I wasn't injured... When I was 23 I had an abscessed tooth that turned into a blood infection...I was in ICU for 6 weeks...More than once during the first few weeks... my heart stopped and I stopped breathing...I really wasn't''t suppose to make it...There have been several other times the enemy has tried taking me out and I am still here...God has a plan for my life... Interesting question...

Same question....

[Rachel E.]

I was in an accident with my older brother and got my right wrist cut open with a hunting knife. I came about a centimeter from getting my artery cut open and bleeding to death. That was when I was 6.

Do you like black coffee?

[melw]

No i am not a big coffee drinker, but if i do it will be either a Latte or cappucino. But i prefer tea myself, but maybe is that because i am not an American, i do hear you drink a lot of coffee (sorry if that is a misconception)

MEL

[melw]

MEL

What is your favourite drink?

[Russ~Anna Lee]

I love Dunkin Donut coffee...It is the best...If I make my own I drink Dunkin Donut or 100% coloumbian...I don't like french roast or any other the other blends...Starbucks doesn't sell coffee...
I also love hot tea... Darjeeling is my favorite....I drink Iced tea year round...

If you had to give up one thing forever...Music...TV or Reading .... which would it be?

[Rachel E.]

TV absolutely... and it would be no sacrifice...

When did you join CW? And what made you decide to join?

[Timber Wolf]

....

i do hear you drink a lot of coffee (sorry if that is a misconception)

MEL

:D Nope, not at all



....

Starbucks doesn't sell coffee...

....



HAHA! (I don't drink coffee - when I do I drink what I can get and dump in a ton of creamer, etc.)


TV absolutely... and it would be no sacrifice...

When did you join CW? And what made you decide to join?


Agreed - I was watching some shows on the intenet, but stopped and started listening to podcasts of Christian teachers, don't miss it, don't really think of it - except Numbers on occassion.

When did I join - DEC 2007. Found CW when I did an internet search for Christian Writer associations and discussion forums. My local groups had gone on Chrismas break, and I just couldn't go that long. And now they are on summer break. Thanks Rebecca for CW!!!

Same question....

[Russ~Anna Lee]

I was on Shoutlife and David Meigs sent me a friend request...We talked and He told me about CW...I joined and maybe someday I can say remember when 8)

Would you rather have a Corvette or a Mustang...What color and why to both questions

[Timber Wolf]

hmmmmmm, if I hadda choose between those two - corvette stingray, black. Why? Uhhh, cause I liked the TV series "Stingray" and his was black.

Do you belong to any other writer forums? which?

[Timber Wolf]

???????????

[kshsj777]

I do belong to two other forums, but I don't go there anymore; I'm not an active member. CW is the only place I come to often.

Same question.

[melw]

I am members of faithwriters and Author's Den, but i like CW best.

answer any questions asked before

MEL

[Rachel E.]

I'll answer the corvette or mustang question.
I'd have a smoke blue 2004 mustang. And cause I think they are SO cool looking, they have great gas milage, and they are HOT!

lol...

How has your week been?

[Timber Wolf]

well, nobody's answered this, so....
I had to go to the school today to sign a piece of paper to get a cash advance from my workshop days from last week so I can get gas for the truck to go to the workshops over the next couple weeks (w/out the cash advance wouldn't get paid until the end of the mnth - no pay = no gas = no get to workshops)
and I'm still fighting w/ Volt to get my missing $$

and today's question will be a bit of trivia (use your resources)

how many letters in the longest English word? (for extra credit what does the word describe?)

[Rachel E.]

Is it 26 and does it mean "to esteem highly"?

Same question if I'm wrong.

If I'm right -
Do you prefer to read historical fiction or a biography?

[Timber Wolf]

what was your word??
it's longer than that.


neither - prefer history

I'm letting my last question stand.

[Rachel E.]

I don't know how to spell it!! I just know that it's the longest word in the English language and it means "to esteem highly" or is it "to esteem lightly" anyway... yes.

sorry.

[Timber Wolf]

oh, I thought you had a reference for it.

[Rachel E.]

a reference? well, I'm googling it and I'll let you know what I find out.

[Rachel E.]

The longest actual word in a major dictionary is 45 letters long.

[Rachel E.]

ok, here goes...

http://www.englishenglish.com/english_facts_15.htm


The longest word in popular usage is ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM (a movement opposed to the separation of church and state) at 28 letters.

The 45 letter word PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS (a lung disease caused by breathing in certain particles) also appears in many English dictionaries. However, as it's use is strictly medical or scientific, some may not consider this truely part of the English language.

[righter1]

Hey, I've actually HEARD the word 'antidisestablishmentarianism' used in common places. Cool.

What's the next question, Rachel?

[Timber Wolf]

Hey, I've actually HEARD the word 'antidisestablishmentarianism' used in common places. Cool.

What's the next question, Rachel?

I'm not Rachel-
but here's what I was looking for:
Chemical name of the largest known protein - 189,819 letters (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longest_word_in_English) - which is why I asked for the definition instead of the word.

[Rachel E.]

I wondered if that was what you wanted TW, but since you said an English word, I figured not. Sorry!

Next question - What time frame of history is your favorite to research?

[righter1]

I wondered if that was what you wanted TW, but since you said an English word, I figured not. Sorry!

Next question - What time frame of history is your favorite to research?

Hmmm... I don't do much history research, but the era I'm most fascinated by is probably WWII, followed closely by Revolutionary War/Founding era. Lately, the History Channel and the Military Channel and I've been making acquaintances... :p I don't know if I'd ever write a book that's set in history, but if I did, it'd probably be one of those two.



Feeling lazy... same question...

[melw]

I don't like much research, but i guess i don't mind some historical. Recently i have started a book based around 1890 and in the US. don't know where that came from. probably one of tommie's prompts. LOL

I guess i just am lazy and don't want to do research.

Are you a vegetarian or meat eater? If you are meat eater, do you eat all meat?

MEL

[Mona]

Since that was directed to Xenia, I can't answer that question.

But for the sake of joining in, I'll ask a question: As you are studying the Word, do you keep a paper and pencil there with you to begin writing when you get the buzz or whatever?
(I kinda get a buzz, when there is something in the Scripture that reveals new insights to me)


Mona

[Mona]

Oh my! I see Mel has a question that I can answer. Where did it come from, it wasn't there, I thought, when I started the above post.

Answer to Mel's question: I do eat meat but not everything. No snake, turtle and other such things. I do not eat meat very often, maybe twice per week. I do eat vegetables of all kinds and fruit and all the dairy products I can. I'm onto skimmed milk and low fat everything.
My question is in my above post.

I'm reading the Psalms currently - almost done. Yes I do keep a pen and notebook handy.

(Sorry Rachel - it was a confused question, particularly w/ what does or does not constitute an "English" word. It was interesting in seeing the words choosen.) and on that note -

where does "supercalifragileiousesexpialidosious" (sp??) come from???

[righter1]

where does "supercalifragileiousesexpialidosious" (sp??) come from???

Mary Poppins. :) It's a nonsense word as far as I know.


What's the weather like where you are today?

[Timber Wolf]

83 degrees outside

what's the punch line to
"I know a man w/ a wooden leg named 'Smith'?"

[JayBee]

Great......so whats the other legs name?
is there a prize TW?

[Timber Wolf]

no prize - just the knowledge that you have superb "Mary Poppins" knowledge.

Were you going to ask a question?

[JayBee]

ah....what is your favourite flower and why?

[sweet-jay]

I love the rose... it's beautiful, great scent...(to mention but a few!)... I also lvoe the name "daffodils" though I am not sure I lvoe the flower itself. And I love the sunflower...makes me smile...it's "pure sunshine".

Okay, I will now really answer the question:
Favorite flower is the rose for its beauty, scent...

QUESTION: If you had an argument, would you later on apologise to the person even if you felt you were right, if the other party isn't willing to admit they are wrong?

[Rachel E.]

I try to apologize to everyone if I get in a fight with them, and oftener than not, they think they are 100% right, so I was wrong anyway! lol. If you got in a fight with them, at all period, you are wrong, so that's a safe reason to apologize. But sometimes I fail at the apology, bad deal.

What is the name of your local phone book?

[melw]

PERTH
Is that what you mean?
But most of the time i look things up online. Especially at work.

Apart from writing what would be your dream job?

MEL

[righter1]

Apart from writing what would be your dream job?


Probably some sort of advisor for a politician... maybe a press secretary or something like that...


Same question.

[Timber Wolf]

Since I like math / computers / science, the arts (writing, photography, etc.) shooting, studying the Bible, and coming to learn if I really like teaching, I'd like to do something that would allow me to do as many of these as possible, as well as possible. (teach ath / computers during the week, writing about shooting on the weekend, and teaching the Bible on Sun, etc.)

How's that for a non-answer? :D

Same question.

[JayBee]

Airline Pilot

What's your favourite Hymn and why?

[Rachel E.]

It is well with my soul by Horatio Spafford and P.P. (Phillip Paul) Bliss.
I like it because it tells me the state of my soul in so many ways. God is so good to me.

If you were to make a guess, how many times have you posted in this thread?

[righter1]

If you were to make a guess, how many times have you posted in this thread?

About 120 times maybe??? I dunno... it's A LOT!!!!


Same question.

[ProfessorAlan]

oooooh, I don't have that many fingers and toes ....
--------------
what's the weather like today?

[Rachel E.]

It was a pretty day, warm and nice. Very good.

Do you like your orange juice with pulp or w/out?

[righter1]

Without... I feel I have to chew OJ with pulp!!!

Do you drink carbonated beverages? If so, what's your favorite?

[Timber Wolf]

nope, not much, when I do it's usually (always?) root beer when I have Mexican, or pizza

(and it's not OJ w/out pup :))

what's your favorite beverage w/ Spaghetti??

[Rachel E.]

I like Sierra Mist pop with Spaghetti, but water is good too.

Same question.

[sweet-jay]

fresh fruit juice or water.

same question

[righter1]

With spaghetti?

Hmmm... I guess i'll drink just about anything with spaghetti, which is one of my favorite dishes. Lately, it's been iced tea or an Arnold Palmer (tea and lemonade), but truthfully, I don't have a favorite. Last night, I did have spaghetti, and I had herbal peach iced tea... :)


Are there any movies coming out in the next few months that you're looking forward to seeing?

[sweet-jay]

as far as looking forward to some new movie that's about to be released, I am not so keen on that. I usually get to know when they are already showing. I only get that "early news" once in a big while


same question

[righter1]

Since it's my own question, I'll say the following and leave it open for someone else.

I'm currently looking forward to The Clone Wars & Quantum of Solstice. The Clone Wars got a decent review on Space.com this week, and I think I may like it better than the new trilogy set of Star Wars. Hopefully. As for Quantum of Solstice, it comes out the first weekend in November. I've been on a James Bond kick lately. Enough said.

[melw]

well the last movie we saw was Princ Caspian.

Though next week, we have nothing all so me and my hubby might decide to have a "date" Go out to finner and a movie. Not sure waht we will see.

Same question

MEL

[Rachel E.]

Oh me, me!!! I'm really glad to be able to answer this question.
The movie I am REALLY looking forward to is called "Fireflood" and it's by the same church that put out "Facing the Giants" It's coming out in september, and I'm so excited to see it!!

How was your day?

[sweet-jay]

(I loved "Facing the Giants", I hope I'll get to watch "Fireflood")

My day is going on well. Just had lunc, and looking forward to a good "rest-of-the-day"

Do you love cartoons? If yes/no why? If yes, whic are your favourites?

[Rachel E.]

Funny... when I asked that question, my day was very over and I was headed to bed! Interesting, hmm?

Yes I like cartoons, in fact, I've drawn some. I like them because they make me laugh and they take amazing talent to come up with all the time. My favorites are "Get Fuzzy" "Peanuts" and probably "Dilbert" although that one is strange.

Where did the idea for your username come from?

[Tarin]

Oh me, me!!! I'm really glad to be able to answer this question.
The movie I am REALLY looking forward to is called "Fireflood" and it's by the same church that put out "Facing the Giants" It's coming out in september, and I'm so excited to see it!!

I think it's titled Fire*proof*. ;)

[melw]

I will answer Rachel's question as Tarin didn't leave one. My user name is part of my first and part of my last. I didn't want to put my whole name on here when i joined. And most people call me Mel anyway.

Do you like to cook?

MEL

[Timber Wolf]

....

Do you like to cook?

MEL

yep.


are you surprised?

[Rachel E.]

am I surprised that you like to cook? Frankly.. no. I kind of expected it, and don't ask my why.

I love to cook, myself.

Are you surprised?

[Timber Wolf]

Are you surprised?

My name's not Frankly :D. Now that is surprising (that you expected it).

And no, maybe it's sexist, but I kinda figured more women folk like to cook. But one of the ladies at out in-service days the last couple days said when she and her husband got married, neither one could cook. And they say that most of the world's great chiefs are men.

Hmmmmmm, I knew I shouldda tried harder to get that "Foods" class (home-ec) at BCS. :) After all, I baked cookies over at my brother's w/ the older nieces and had them "helping" me.

Ooops, there I go.....

So anybody else out there like to cook?

[Rachel E.]

I think it's titled Fire*proof*. ;)

Oops... *blushing*

HUH????? <Confused>

[Rachel E.]

It's the title to a new movie coming out in September, TW. By the same church group that did "Facing the Giants" that's all...

[Timber Wolf]

oh, that's the movie you all were discussing earlier, ahhhhh

[Rachel E.]

And TW, about there being other cooks aboard here... I've already posted on that note... so I'll reask the question to bring everyone up to date.


Is there anyone else aboard here that likes to cook?

[righter1]

And TW, about there being other cooks aboard here... I've already posted on that note... so I'll reask the question to bring everyone up to date.


Is there anyone else aboard here that likes to cook?

I like to bake and I like to experiment. Cooking every day just to eat gets boring after a while. (Especially since I just found out that I need to change my diet some after the baby comes--my chloresterol's high! :eek:) Baking is creative to me, even though I don't experiment too much with them, unless it's a new recipé. Baking bread, cakes, pies... love doing that. I usually end up making a lot of the desserts at Thanksgiving/Christmas. But, unfortunately, I don't have the energy to do a lot of baking right now. :(





If you were ever given the opportunity, would you skydive? Have you ever gone on a skydive?

[sweet-jay]

I think I would sky dive. I've never done it before.

would you bunjee (not sure of the spelling) jump?

[JayBee]

depends how big the budgies are and if the pegs have strong springs

what are your favourite sweets (candies.USA lollies/Australia):)

[Timber Wolf]

If sweets means only hard candies, then prbly peppermint and butterscotch / butter rum,
but I love chocolate - but it's gotta have nuts / and/or be dark chocolate

I'll expand the question, favorite treat

[Rachel E.]

I love chocolate... if you are talking candy period, not just hard, but sweets, chocolate or lime something...mmm. I also like hot drinks like mochas and fraps, and stuff too, but I didn't know if they qualified. Oh, and I love a good Chocolate Malt! DELICIOUS!

Same question.

[cpbookworm]

I like Ice Cream, dark chocolate, chocolate chip cookies, brownies.

Same question.

[Timber Wolf]

This is 8 days from being locked.

Favorite treat for me depends - usually ice cream (chocolate).

Are you looking forward to the cooler seasons? Why? / Why Not?

[sweet-jay]

I'm Ugandan, and in Uganda, it's either hot or cold, or something in between, or thereabout. We have 2 seasons all year long; rainy season (wet) and sunny season (dry). I guess we are now into the wet season.

So I cannot really say I am looking forward to the cooler seasons because we are already there, and I like it just as it is, though sometimes I feel I could use a lighter down pour.

Question: According to you, who do you think should pop the big question, i.e. propose. Should it be the lady or the gentleman???

[righter1]

Question: According to you, who do you think should pop the big question, i.e. propose. Should it be the lady or the gentleman???

I'd say 9 times out of 10, it should be the guy, but sometimes, guys drag their feet, so sometimes it needs to be the gal or nothing would ever happen! :rolleyes: :p With my hubby and me, he proposed probably before I was really truly ready, but he'd tipped his hand a few weeks before that he was looking at engagement rings, so it gave me time to wrap my mind around it.



What's the most interesting place you've ever traveled to? Why do you think it's the most interesting?

[Narrannik]

Jumping in randomly (hoping this thread has no bouncer).

My Grandad's house. Northern Michigan. Mostly for the history that's there. It's real; it's not a textbook. He flew over Burma in WW2 and has pictures. I love pictures. The Japanese tried to surrender the entire Western Department of their army to his plane crew. There were (I think) four of them. They declined.

Now I'm rambling.

So, for the next person: Would you wear a kilt?

[Merry]

Sure, why not?

What's the weirdest thing you ever did?

[SkeeterFranklin]

I am old-fashioned, so the big question should definitely be popped by the gentleman, on one knee while balancing a beautiful bouquet of flowers, incredibly LARGE box of candy, and the RING.

What is your favorite sport?

[righter1]

Sure, why not?

What's the weirdest thing you ever did?

Weirdest??? Hmmm... I'm not sure... Does getting married at age 20 count??? Or maybe joining CW? (Just kidding :D)

I am old-fashioned, so the big question should definitely be popped by the gentleman, on one knee while balancing a beautiful bouquet of flowers, incredibly LARGE box of candy, and the RING.

What is your favorite sport?

Football. I'm still learning the ropes of the game, but I get WAY too involved if I'm watching a game. (Thankfully for my hubby, I forgot to turn the Chiefs game on when we got home from church on Sunday... I probably would have been screaming at the TV again, which I did in either their last pre-season or first regular season game...)



Is the current situation with the markets causing you any additional distress? Do you pay attention to it, or do you monitor it daily (or even hourly?)

[sweet-jay]

Hello,
do you mean the stock markets? if so, if I get the general picture of how things are, I really don't get into the details : )

question: are you happy right now? do you wish you were some place else right now?

[melw]

I am quite happy right now.

I have a house, home, friends, food, all my material needs are met. Only a few things are needed, a full time job, a baby, and losing weight,

But with God's grace everything is for the best.

What is your favourite way to unwind?

MEL

[Xenia]

My favorite way to unwind is to sprawl out on the couch with a really good book and to have my sunflower seeds and a ginger ale at arms length :)

Do you remember your dreams?

[Rachel E.]

Oh yes, I remember them most of the time. Sometimes extremely vividly like I actually lived it. I think I'm wierd.


Do you like to sing? Do you do it well?

[righter1]

Oh yes, I remember them most of the time. Sometimes extremely vividly like I actually lived it. I think I'm wierd.


Do you like to sing? Do you do it well?

I like to sing, but I'm not sure if I do it well. I think I'm usually on key, but I don't know if I have a nice voice... I sing at the top of my lungs a lot if I'm by myself...

I can't think of another question, so I'll let this one stand.

[melw]

I love to sing, and when i do sing in public everyone says it is good. I make mistakes, but i have never been trained, so i guess that is undestandable

what is for lunch today?

MEL

[righter1]

what is for lunch today?


Pizza (hamburger/pineapple), cheesy breadsticks, a banana, applesauce and a brownie, as well as ginger ale. I wish I'd brought a pear instead of the banana though...

When was the last time it rained (or even sprinkled) where you live? (TW, I don't think you should answer this... it probably rains every day there!!! :p j/k)

[Rachel E.]

Day before yesterday. We don't get much rain here normally, but when fall starts settling over the land, we get a lot of rain. And some doozy of rain showers too. Wind, lightening, thunder, sleet, hail, rain... everything.


What is your favorite kind of weather?

[Narrannik]

Sunny. But not hot. Kind of a crisp Mayish sunshine with a little breeze. But not too much.

Unless I'm in the mood for a good storm. Then I like high winds and rain and green skies and the whole she-bang.

What's your favorite period in history?

[WritingChaos]

The one when I'm living in right now with my wife and children. It's rough, but we're working through it. A story of tryumph I hope. :)

**************************

If your spouse told you he/she can't give anymore and they are weary, what would you do to help them?

[melw]

When my hubby is tired, i offer to do everything he normally has to do. I make his lunch, i have his favourite dinner ready, and tell him i will do all the cleaning he normally does. At least that is what works for me


Same question
MEL

[WritingChaos]

I gave her a way out... still trying to see if that works. :p

************************

Ever do it for the lulz?

[Rachel E.]

Figured I'd bring this one to life again. As I don't really know what the last question means... I'll start with another one.


Have you ever been deer hunting in Colorado?

[Colin]

No....but old deers...er....dears have been hunting me in Portglenone with umbrellas!

What creature can you not bear to hand.....for me it is a frog and a few other things!

[Rachel E.]

Snakes for sure, and then there are always earwigs, slugs, spiders, and various other creatures.

What is your favorite season of the year?

[melw]

i think spring, as it is getting warmer but not too warm. Also my birthday is in spring, here in Oz.

What is your favourite Bible verse??

MEL

[Rachel E.]

John 15:12-15

Do you like honey? What is the name of your favorite brand? or flower type if you are from below the equator...?

[righter1]

John 15:12-15

Do you like honey? What is the name of your favorite brand? or flower type if you are from below the equator...?

I like honey, but I don't have a favorite brand. I tend to buy the 'local' brand that's available at the grocery store when I go. (My family has a big history of allergies, and somewhere they said it's best to use honey that was made as close to your house as possible--within 5 miles--to help reduce allergies or something like that.)

What is the next holiday you or your family will celebrate? What are your plans for that day?

[melw]

my next holiday will probably be Christmas, but just after that we will be going on a 3 week holiday (Vacation).

On Christmas Eve we will open presents after looking at Christmas lights and having tea (evening meal). Then Chritsmas day we go to a family who have "adopted" us and have a meal with them.

Same question

MEL

[Rachel E.]

Next holiday...hmm... I think Thanksgiving. We dont' celebrate Halloween, so I think that it'll be Thanksgiving and then Christmas. After that..lol, it's my wedding!
Plans for Thanksgiving. Probably go down south of here about 2 1/2 hours to my Uncle and Aunts house and spend the day there, eating good food and talking, and having fun.

If you could live anywhere in the globe, except in the USA, where would you live?

[righter1]

Right now, with the political situation, probably Ireland... or somewhere in the South Pacific where I don't have to worry about snow, ice, and cold winds...


Same question.

[melw]

I am living in the best country anyway LOL
I love living in AUstralia, i would prefer to live on the east coast.
But sometimes things in the USA would be so much easier as most things are there.

What is the best and worst about where you live?

MEL

[Thebigguy]

I like living next to the ocean, I like the fact that it can be 110 degrees F and you can go to the ocean 1/2 hr away and its a cool 75 degrees F. Love that micoclimate. I love the wilderness and nature here in Marin. I like that I'm close to San Francisco but not necessarily in San Francisco.
I love the fact that it doesn't snow and it doesn't get icy windy, and you don't have to dig you car out of the snow. WOnderful. But I don't like the fact that I never get a white christmas, I don't like the fact that it's so pagan and liberal and anti CHristian and or anything profamily. Bush is concidered the anti Christ here and I'm just SO tired of the Nievity that if Bush went away all of America's problems would be over!!
I just want to quote what Mr. Mcdowell said to Eddie Murphy's Character in "Coming to America." Son if you want to keep working here stay off the Drugs!"
What made you decide you wanted to be a writer? Who if anyone inspired you?

[sweet-jay]

I realise as I grew up, that GOD had given me a talent in writing, and so I decided to take it seriously, though i confess i am not taking it as seriously as i ought to, and I pray that GOD helps me in this area.
Family and friends eg my Dad, are the people who have and continue to inspire me...

If you could live your life all over again, what would you change? (Is this question another way of asking if you have any regrets? I wonder!)

[Rachel E.]

I would change some of the really bad choices I've made. I know you can say that I'm only 20, so how many really bad choices could I have made so far? But I really have made some doozies! I regret that...

Have you ever heard of Daniel Gardner?

[Timber Wolf]

Nope - is he an author? Boy, I haven't been in here for eons - glad to see it is surviving.


Do you know who The Sullivans were?

[melw]

i actually do know who the Sullivans were. There was a show set just after WW 2 and this was the family. It's been years since i have seen it. so i might have got the timing a little wrong. I just remembered i better say it was an Australian show.

What three words do you want to be on your tombstone? (apart from you name etc.) What do you want people to know about you?

MEL

[Thebigguy]

I like Odwalla's orange juice fresh organic from the packaging plant!

[Timber Wolf]

Since BigGuy didn't leave a question -
"Loved his Family"

Mel - should have been a WWII movie - their ship was torpeoed during the war.

Next question - what fictional movie referred to the Sullivan brothes being killed (was apart of why the character in the movie were doing what thy were doing)?

[Timber Wolf]

no guesses?? I'll give a hint - it was a recent WWII movie.

[SkeeterFranklin]

Saving Private Ryan?

If I am right, the next question is:
What is your favorite Christmas song?

If I am wrong, Timber Wolf's question still stands.

[sweet-jay]

ooohhhh! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

I am not sure if your answer to Timberwolf's question is right...but I'll answer yours:

I love most, if not all, of the nice Christian Christmas music, so I cannot say I have a favourite.

If Skeeterfranklin's answer to Timberwolf is not right, then Timberwolf's question still stands.

Otherwise, next:
which was your best and worst Christmas?

[Timber Wolf]

Saving Private Ryan?

If I am right, the next question is:
What is your favorite Christmas song?

If I am wrong, Timber Wolf's question still stands.


Yep, that was why they were trying to save Private Ryan - cause they didn't want another family decimated.


ooohhhh! I LOVE CHRISTMAS!

I am not sure if your answer to Timberwolf's question is right...but I'll answer yours:

I love most, if not all, of the nice Christian Christmas music, so I cannot say I have a favourite.

If Skeeterfranklin's answer to Timberwolf is not right, then Timberwolf's question still stands.

Otherwise, next:
which was your best and worst Christmas?


I'm gonna let this quesiton stand.

[melw]

Timber wolf, there was a show in Australia called The Sullivans So i am right in this case. http://www.crawfords.com.au/libary/drama/sullivans.shtml

About Christmas, i can't remember ever having a really bad Christmas, but i suppose it might be the first time i met my MIL. She didn't like me. But most of my Christmases are good. I remember instances of good times. BBQ by the pool, swimming in the ocean. Seeing my family (at times), being 'adopted' by another family.

What do you want for Christmas?

MEL

[Rachel E.]

I want a laptop. I know it's expensive... but I'm getting a bit desperate. If i had one, I'd be able to take it with me places, and write more. As it is... I rarely get time to write.

Same question

[melw]

oh I want a laptop too. for the same reasons as you.

but i also want a baby, so i am praying to God for that. That would bea wonderful Christmas present to give my husband.


Same question

MEL

[Rachel E.]

I'll ask a new question.

What are you getting your mother/father/both for Christmas? If you don't have parents, then the nearest thing to it.

[righter1]

I'll ask a new question.

What are you getting your mother/father/both for Christmas? If you don't have parents, then the nearest thing to it.

I haven't decided on my dad yet, but I think for my mom, I'm going to give her a new book by William J. Bennett, I think the title is: 'An American Patriot's Almanac'. I think she'd enjoy it. :)

Same question.

[melw]

Dad is always hard, but usually a gift voucher. I hope to have good news to tell them at Christmas. I am going on a holiday, So i might get them something special from Tasmania. i'll know when i see it.

What is/was your favourite Christmas tradition?

MEL

[Rachel E.]

I think it would have to be the early Christmas morning tradition in our family. Get up and make breakfast of Butterscotch Rolls, that are delicious. When the relatives arrive, eat breakfast and have a family devotions in which my dad reads the Christmas story out of Luke, and then my aunt reads a story about it written by Max Lucado that makes her cry every year. We even provide her a box of kleenex before hand, so she has something to clean up with.
Then we would start opening gifts... good times.

Same Question

[Timber Wolf]

Well, time for a new question - did you get anything "writing oriented" for CHRISTmas?? (Like a membership / subscription, etc.)???

[righter1]

Well, time for a new question - did you get anything "writing oriented" for CHRISTmas?? (Like a membership / subscription, etc.)???


Nope, but didn't really expect/ask for anything like that with a new baby in the house.
