my child and making family happy

What is one of your biggest regrets?

To have loved more than one........


What has been your greatest accomplishment?

To have lived through so much (relative to others I know) adversity and still be apositive person

What's your greatest failure?

Not being able to help STO.


What do you like in your coffee?

Number 1 ... no grounds (I usually drink it black). Sometimes French Vanilla flavoring, but not real often.)

Typically, how often do you change clothes during a day?

Three times....work clothes, gym clothes, and pyjamas (which I take off to sleep). :D


Describe your favorite shirt?

An old flannel shirt with a hole in the left elbow that my wife keeps wanting to throw away :mad:

Same question ^^

Recently, it's a very thin cotton (with a little spandex) black sweater that has a boat-neck top and embroidered eges. I got it in Brazil last year.

Describe your favorite shoes?

currently these cute little camel colored suede moccasin-type loafers

What side of the bed do you sleep on?

The north side. :)

Who wakes up first, you or your so/spouse?

Depends...workdays is me...holidays is him *L*

What bad habit do you have?

I occasionally pass gass in public :D

You?

Sometimes bad words slip out.


Are you usually warm or cold?

cold....I'm a great heat sink


What special talents do you have?

I can tie a knot in a cherry stem with my tongue.

I have a pretty good ear for accents, so I can imitate them well.

I can climax without ejaculating.

Do you have any talents?

I have the talent for getting on people's nerves if I really want to!

Other than that I am pretty much a normal person :D

Name one thing that really upsets you

Messiness. :D


Name one thing that makes you really happy

My baby girl's smile

Do you have someone that makes you smile instantly?

i do believe i kinda do :) oops.. did i just smile?

yes...my kids when they are excited about something new.

What is your favorite flavor of ice cream?

pecan praline


what kind of cake do you like?

carrot

What's your favorite alcoholic drink?

Red wine...or scotch (neat)

Yours?

Probably a White Zin ... although I do enjoy a good Manhatten.

Same question again.

Sapporro beer

Do you remember your first adult beverage and were you of legal drinking age when you had it?

Beer when I was in High School and I was underage.

Do you have a lot of fond memories of your childhood?

I have some....I also have a lot of not-so-fond ones


Describe a fond memory of your childhood?

Climbing Mt. Fuji in Japan with a Boy Scout troop. That was back in 1956. It was an overnight trip and we woke up the second morning watching jets flying BELOW us.

Describe a fond memory of your childhood.

Band camp. :D ;) Actually, I *loved* marching band...played tuba.


What food do you dislike most?

Most? There are a couple that fall into the "not in this lifetime" category, although as I've gotten older my horizons have expanded. Let's say cooked mushrooms--can do the raw ones on salad, but I have a problem with slimy fungi.

What do you feel is missing in your job that would give you satisfaction?

A work ethic that matches my own. People call in sick for the stupidest reasons

Have you ever lied about being sick to not go to visit someone

Yes, sad to say, I have. It's not that I didn't want to see them, more so that I just needed some time to myself.

Do you see yourself retiring in the same city in which you currently reside?

Most likely. I've often toyed with the idea of selling the house and geting one of those $100K motor homes and travel the country - that way the kids won't know where I am to borrow any money! :D

Have you ever rented an RV?

Nope. My parents have one of those nice, nice ones, so I guess if I ever wanted to borrow it, I could.

Do you read more or less than you'd like?

I read a lot less than I would like to. I guess part of the reason is the internet. What are the five things you must have if stranded on a desert island?

THINGS (i.e., inanimate objects...not people):

1) My laptop and DSL

2) Pizza

3) Cold beer

4) A satellite phone

5) My shades


If you could invite three people to dinner, who would you ask?

1) Emeril Lagasse - "The Essence of Emeril", "Emeril Live", Food Network
2) Kylie Kwong - "Kylie Kwong: Cooking with Heart and Soul", Discovery Home
3) (The late) Justin Wilson - Cajun Cooking

(Of course, this is where each guest brings two of their favorite covered dishes :))

What's your favorite beer?

I really like Old Speckled Hen, but I think my favorite is Chimay (blue label only please)


Who is your favorite poet?

I'll have to pass on this one - never really been much of a fan of poetry

Same question ^^
