Yes, but only because we're in between rainstorms.  Do you like video games? |

Only if they are about golf.

Chewing my finger nails!!!  Do you have any Martin Denny music in your collection? |

Post by Midge on Jun 11, 2011 15:16:51 GMT -6
Yes, on a compilation CD of instrumentals I have "Quiet Village." I think my husband might have an old Martin Denny LP somewhere in the archives.
Do you watch those Saturday night Lawrence Welk reruns on PBS? (For non-U.S. citizens, the question is, have you ever heard of Lawrence Welk?)

Yes, on occasion. We always look to see what the theme is going to be for the show.
Do you ever watch Austin City Limits on PBS?

Post by annavandenhazel on Jun 13, 2011 8:58:26 GMT -6
I've never seen it, but I was within the actual city limits of Austin just 4 days ago. Do you regularly watch any "reality shows" on TV? |
|
|
|
Post by Roger Thornhill on Jun 13, 2011 12:16:49 GMT -6
Sometimes I watch The X Factor or Britain's Got Talent but I'm not really a fan of these shows.
Have you watched a movie today?

No, I'm still at work.
Do you read a daily newspaper that's actually made of paper?

Post by Midge on Jun 13, 2011 17:29:40 GMT -6
Yes, I read the San Francisco Chronicle and our neighborhood paper, the Westside Observer.

Nope - no website is worth spending money just to see it. Have you ever paddled a canoe or kayak? |

Post by Midge on Jun 14, 2011 15:39:42 GMT -6
Yes, once, but most of my paddling has been in rowboats.

Strangely enough - the Nissan Cube. From the outside, that has to be the UGLIEST vehicle I've ever seen, with the lopsided back window, but on the inside it's quite nice - I loved the left-side drink holder high on the dash so you don't have to look down to find your water bottle (or whatever).

Once when I was a teenager my uncle Ed gave me a ride in his Rolls Royce Silver Shadow. He was a real character. He loved to cruise around town just so that people would notice him. One day he picked up an attractive young lady and gave her a ride, not realizing that she was a . . . um . . . lady of the evening. Tongues were wagging, and when word got back to my aunt Mildred, she was not pleased. What's the most interesting trip you have ever taken? |

Do you make real or instant coffee?

Post by annavandenhazel on Jun 19, 2011 19:05:33 GMT -6
Neither - my husband and I don't drink coffee.
Do you prefer real tea or herbal tea?

Post by Midge on Jun 20, 2011 1:09:45 GMT -6
I like some herbal teas, but I drink regular tea most of the time.
Did you do anything special last weekend?

Not much for Father's Day, but on Saturday we had a surprise birthday party for my husband. His real birthday is June 15, but being midweek some of the instigators couldn't come. Initially we thought of inviting neighbors from our church, but couldn't come up with a good way to get him to one of their houses, so we expanded our horizons and included his brother, whose oldest son Ian's birthday is on June 16, and Scott was led to believe the party was for Ian. Imagine his surprise when Scott entered his brother's back yard and saw people from church who had never met his brother previously!
Do you have children or grandchildren who will be attending any kind of summer camp?

Post by Midge on Jun 22, 2011 23:51:52 GMT -6
No, because I don't have any children.
Have you ever been to summer camp?

Post by annavandenhazel on Jun 23, 2011 9:17:00 GMT -6
Yes, I went to Camp Fire Girls camp in 4th grade and hated it (only 2 other girls from my troop went, those 2 were always mean to me under normal circumstances and influenced the other girls in our cabin to be mean to me too). I did much better with attending LDS church girls' camp 5 times after I turned 12; not to say there were no meanies there, but at least it wasn't all the time.
Did you go on road trips with your parents in earlier years?
|
|
|
|
Post by Midge on Jun 23, 2011 17:27:07 GMT -6
Yes, my grandparents lived a long distance away, so we did a lot of long road trips to visit them.
Are you a good driver?

Post by annavandenhazel on Jun 23, 2011 19:54:46 GMT -6
Most of the time, but I do dumb stuff on occasion. Do you have a motorcycle license? |
|
|
|
Post by Midge on Jun 24, 2011 2:58:40 GMT -6
No, my brother nearly killed himself in a motorcycle accident, and I've disliked them ever since.
Bill asked a question 10 days ago that somehow got skipped over, so I'll ask it again:

Probably the comics - unless a story of some kind catches my eye first. How many magazines do you subscribe to? |
|
|

Post by Midge on Jun 24, 2011 14:53:46 GMT -6
Three, Opera News, Nutrition Action Newsletter and the AARP magazine. We also read Vanity Fair, New York Magazine and the New Yorker regularly because my friend Margaret passes along her copies.

Tom Clancy - ;D - Hey, I'm a guy and he writes some very good novels that are very easy to read and enjoy.
Do you have a favorite type of fiction that you like to read?

Post by Midge on Jun 25, 2011 14:19:22 GMT -6
No, I prefer to read non-fiction. Occasionally I will read a novel if someone I know recommends it highly. (I read The Da Vinci Code just to see what the big whoop was about.)
Do you listen to any radio programs regularly?
|
|
|
|
Post by Roger Thornhill on Jun 25, 2011 18:39:18 GMT -6
Yes I listen to lots of them on Radios 4 and Five Live.
Do you Kindle?
