Depends on what you call fun. As family, Tim, Traci, the two grand kids, Beverly and I went for Moonlight Putt-Putt Miniature Golf Saturday evening. With triple digit temperature we didn't even try to go in the afternoon.
What would be the perfect Summer afternoon be like around your house/apt?

The perfect summer afternoon is me on the sofa with my feet up because all the housework is done, and we're going out to dinner so I don't have to cook.
How reliable is your internet service?

Very reliable. They are rated number one by J.D. Power. We have Cox Communication Internet with something called Turbo Zoom. It is very quick and in 12 years have never had a lost day of use.
Do you prefer Cable or Satellite for your television reception?

I've always had cable so I honestly don't know if I would like satellite better.
Have you been watching the Olympics?

Post by dvdjunkie on Jul 30, 2012 10:07:37 GMT -6
NO!!! A total waste of air time as far as I am concerned. Worse than watching Golf or Hockey. Catching up on some movies that I haven't watched in a long time.
What are you doing to avoid the Olympics telecasts?

Post by Midge on Jul 30, 2012 16:21:43 GMT -6
Nothing, because I am enjoying some of the events, especially the gymnastics. Water polo, basketball, volleyball, soccer/football, etc. can go away as far as I am concerned *yawn*
Did you go to Sunday School when you were a child?

My first celebrity "crush" was on the operatic tenor Enrico Caruso, who was long dead when I discovered one of his recordings at age 12 and became enchanted with the sound of his voice.
What talent do you wish you had?

Do you ever have bad dreams?

Not many bad dreams, just a few.

No, we're fogged in. But it was sunny at the picnic we attended in Santa Clara today.

Last night it was the Olive Garden for their bottom-less pasta bowls. We went as a family, and it was delicious. If you eat there in the next week, try their Chianti Three Meat Spaghetti Sauce. Ummmmm woth the price of admission. As usual we all ate a little too much and had to pass on dessert.
What silly habit do you have that most people don't know about?

No, my parents didn't save any of them, but I have do have copies of my transcripts from high school and college.
What is the oldest item you have saved from your childhood?

I still have my Hopalong Cassidy lunch pail, but the thermos is missing. It isn't in the greatest condition but the colors are still there.  What item from the past are you still hanging on to? |

Post by Midge on Aug 24, 2012 14:53:10 GMT -6
I've got a box of clothing that I'll probably never be able to fit into again, but I keep hoping.  If you could wave a magic wand and make a product from the past reappear, what would it be? |

A Dansette Major record player.

Post by Midge on Aug 31, 2012 3:06:28 GMT -6
Yes, it's my favorite form of exercise.
Have you seen any good movies lately?

Post by dvdjunkie on Aug 31, 2012 6:16:03 GMT -6
Yes!! Beverly and I went to see "The Odd Life of Timothy Green", a very fine film from the Disney studios that is wowing audiences across the US. If you haven't seen it yet, I recommend it, and don't forget an extra pack of Kleenex for all the tears you will be shedding.
How do you get along with your closest neighbors?

What is the longest trip you've ever taken?

Post by dvdjunkie on Sept 1, 2012 10:25:43 GMT -6
Family-wise, when we lived in California we drove the Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico, and in 1995 we drove to Wichita, Kansas to visit our daughter and see what it would be like to live there. As a tour-bus operator I have logged over a million miles driving tour buses and have to every state in the Union except Hawaii. I was one of three drivers who made the trip from Wichita to Alaska, dropping the passengers off in Seattle and picking them up in Anchorage. Then drove them all around the State of Alaska for five days and brought them back to Anchorage and picked them up again in Seattle. One of my most memorable trips.
What state or country have you never been to, but is high on your bucket list?

I would love to visit Somerset County in southwest England, the home of my Quaker ancestors who emigrated to the Colonies in 1699.
Have you ever taken any foreign language classes?

Post by dvdjunkie on Sept 3, 2012 8:18:25 GMT -6
Yes. I tried to learn French language when I was stationed in Paris, France, but found that most of the locals spoke pretty good English, so I dropped out. Now I wish I didn't.
Have you ever driven the wrong way on a one-way street?

Yes, I do believe that has happened to me at least once.
