At present my so-called bedspread is a lavender comforter (that will change when the weather finally decides to stay hot, LOL!)
What brand is your kitchen stove? (As opposed to wood stoves in other rooms)

It's a 23-year-old General Electric cooktop.
Do you cook with gas or electric?

I'll answer your question, Hallway. Hobs are what we would call burners.
Yes, I am reasonably competent at making pastry, though it's not my best skill.

Not exactly in a yacht, but in a sailboat on San Francisco Bay.

Is there a eucalyptus tree near your home.?
|

Post by annavandenhazel on May 27, 2010 13:16:34 GMT -6
Nope, I live in the wrong climate.  Do you have evergreen trees in your yard or neighborhood? |
|
|
|
Post by Midge on May 27, 2010 15:16:23 GMT -6
Yes, we have a cedar tree, and there are hundreds of Monterey pines, eucalyptus, junipers and cedars in the park across the street.
Do you have to rake leaves in the fall?
|
|
|
|
Post by annavandenhazel on May 27, 2010 15:27:41 GMT -6
We probably should, but either it doesn't get done or the guy who sometimes mows the lawn does it.
Do you own 2 or more vehicles?

Post by Midge on May 27, 2010 17:43:37 GMT -6
Yes, we have two.

Back in the late 70s a member of our chess club had a Bentley Continental. I went to quite a few away matches in that, it was very comfortable but it used up a huge amount of petrol.
What is your favourite ice cream.?
|
|
|

Post by dvdjunkie on May 28, 2010 8:01:41 GMT -6
Blue Bunny Triple Chocolate leads the pack of my favorite ice cream. Any brand Pistachio comes in second.
Do you like Banana Splits?

Who doesn't? But I haven't actually eaten one in years. Do you have a favorite place to get French fries? (Yes, curly fries count - and so do English chips) |
|
|
|
Post by Midge on May 29, 2010 4:06:25 GMT -6
Yes, there's a cafe in my neighborhood that has pretty good fries.
Have you ever gotten carsick or seasick?
|
|
|
|
Post by Roger Thornhill on May 29, 2010 7:38:10 GMT -6
No I haven't but I've never been in the kind of sea which might induce sea-sickness.
Have you been on an ocean liner?
|
|
|
|
Post by Midge on May 29, 2010 16:19:39 GMT -6
Only once, briefly, to see off a friend who was going to Europe. I have toured an aircraft carrier, though.
Do you subscribe to any magazines?

No I don't.
Do you have a reel to reel tape recorder?
|
|
|
|
Post by Midge on May 29, 2010 18:45:36 GMT -6
Yes, if a microcassette recorder counts.
Have you seen a Dennis Hopper movie?

Yes quite a few but never his most famous ones. (Apocalypse Now, Easy Rider.)
Have you ever been on a ski-jump?
|
|
|
|
Post by Midge on May 30, 2010 18:12:07 GMT -6
No, but I love to watch Olympic ski jumping.  What do you do for exercise? |
|
|
|
Post by annavandenhazel on Jun 1, 2010 14:10:06 GMT -6
Walk from the car to the office twice a day, and back twice a day (I always have errands that require driving around at lunch) - it really is exercise, I have to climb a flight of stairs too.
Where do you usually exercise?
|
|
|
|
Post by Midge on Jun 2, 2010 4:19:40 GMT -6
At the YMCA. I work out three times a week.
Have you ever lifted weights?
|
|
|
|
Post by dvdjunkie on Jun 2, 2010 7:06:16 GMT -6
Not lifted per se, but when I do my walking, either out doors or on the treadmill I carry 5-lb weights in each hand. That really helps with timing, and keeping the tone in my arms.
Do you have a certain exercise routine that you follow?
|
|
|
|
Post by annavandenhazel on Jun 2, 2010 7:53:45 GMT -6
What's an exercise routine?  And the real answer is no. Do you enjoy hiking? |
|
|
|
Post by dvdjunkie on Jun 2, 2010 20:44:55 GMT -6
I confuse 'hiking' and 'backpacking', I do both when I am able to. So I guess the answer is yes.
Do you like camping in a tent (as opposed to an RV)?
|
|
|
|
Post by Midge on Jun 3, 2010 3:30:29 GMT -6
I don't like any type of camping.
Have you ever called a radio talk show?

I haven't called a talk show but I have been on radio quiz shows.
Have you been to Canada?

And the real answer is no.
