Depends on how much ice is on the roads, since I have to travel 40 miles to work.  What do you like best about winter? |

Not as many tourists and not as much fog.

Do you like over-ripe bananas?

|
|
|
Post by Midge on Nov 7, 2011 3:11:18 GMT -6
No, overripe bananas taste oily, the texture is mushy and they're overly sweet.
Would you rather have a hamburger or a hot dog?
|

|
|
Post by annavandenhazel on Nov 7, 2011 21:52:39 GMT -6
Hot dog - they're easier to deal with when undercooked.
Would you rather have pie or cake?
|
|
|

Post by Midge on Nov 8, 2011 3:54:08 GMT -6
Cake for me, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, please.

Aaaaack - yes there is, and thank you for reminding me.  Will you be voting today? |
|
|
|
Post by Midge on Nov 8, 2011 19:44:22 GMT -6
Yes, I've already voted. (I had to get a fresh ballot and start over, though, because I accidentally voted "yes" and "no" on the same measure!)
Do you ever have bad dreams?

Once years ago I dreamed that I saw Shirley Temple (as an adult) emerging from the surf in a swimsuit. The next day I read in the newspaper that she had just had a mastectomy.
Have you ever had that sensation of falling just before you go to sleep?

Nope, just on fast elevators or unpleasant carnival rides. Do you enjoy getting up every morning? |

No, I am always reluctant to leave my warm, cozy bed.
Do you have any police officers or firefighters in your family?

I do now. My son married the daughter of the sheriff of a county here in my state. He's also a specialist trainer for SWAT teams, and does other world-wide "specialist training",too, including training contractors for teams like Blackwater mercenaries. Interesting guy, to say the least!
Has anyone here read a Shakespeare play in the last six to nine months? (If so, why? Did you like it? Or not?)
|

Post by Midge on Nov 16, 2011 19:13:25 GMT -6
No, not recently, but I have read Shakespeare's plays on my own and have enjoyed most of them, (with the exception of Coriolanus -- too gruesome!). My favorite is King Lear. I have a video of the BBC production with Laurence Olivier.

Have you bought any new clothes lately?

Post by dvdjunkie on Nov 19, 2011 10:39:17 GMT -6
Yes. My grandson's school was having a fundraiser and he was selling long-sleeve shirts with the school's logo on them, and naturally I was obligated to buy one.  Have you ever done any type of bird-watching? |
|
|
|
Post by rmichaelpyle on Nov 19, 2011 11:43:10 GMT -6
My wife and I sit on our deck as much as possible when I get home at night. Obviously depends on the weather and the season. We have seven bird feeders of all sorts on the deck and we watch birds incessantly! It's one of our great pleasures. We don't go on hikes and the like to do "bird watching" in any organized way, but we love it privately.
Do you believe in ghosts?

Post by Midge on Nov 19, 2011 19:06:28 GMT -6
No, I don't believe in ghosts per se, but I have an open mind and feel it's possible that there could be some phenomena of that nature that is beyond our ability to understand.

No, thankfully I have only been a hospital patient once, and that was in 1958.

3 so far - the first one was bought in 2000, replaced 2-3 years ago, and then we got a laptop for Glenn, although my husband has gotten lazier and usually uses that one instead of the desktop one.
