personally, I miss the 1970s. No AIDS, funky fashion, good music, passion for political movements, and 'free love'. Now, an I be 20 again when I got back there???

It would have been nice to be born 15 years later than I was, so that I could have pursued the opportunities my generation wouldn't allow - like being able to take engineering, architecture, mechanical drawing, and such in high school in order to pursue what my generation called 'men's' jobs. It also would have given me a start into the technology of computers.

I loved the eighties! And not just because I was young(er). I loved the music, I loved the movies, I loved the clothes. I can still listen to the Cure, old Duran Duran or U2 and love it! I'll watch "16 candles" or "Pretty in Pink" and enjoy it all over again. And it sounds silly admitting, because I wouldn't want to do it again, but I did have a lot of fun in the 80's!

1950's. Being the lazy person I am, I'd LOVE to have sat back and let my hubby go out and earn all the cash. My biological clock is ticking right now, so I think I'd LIKE hanging out and raising the kids. I like the idea of eating dinner with the family every day, and those tight waisted, pointy bra-ed, puffy skirt outfits were pretty flattering for the women!! My second choice is to have been a BIT older in the eighties. I was born in 75, so I was a few years too young to enjoy the best parts of the eighties!!

Well I just love my wee house so this will be interesting to think about...I guess it would have to be the front room because of the quality of the light and the comfortable chair and the big window on my world. If I get a second choice, it's here in my dining room at my portal.

why my little corner part of the living room of course (its a condo so the living room/dining room/kitchen/and little corner are all connected) - but that is where my TV and recliner is - and where i live 24/7 when i am not on my computer or out of the house

Hard question to answer. I'll say the dining room, because that is where the family congregates the most, where friends sit to chat, where the telephone & one of the tv's and my webtv are, and where the kitties and dogs love to lie in the sun.

My bedroom. It has my bed, my computer, and TV through the computer. I have no need to leave. I bring snack food in here too, so I can always munch.

My craft area--I can soon have an area to call my own. I cannot wait. It has my supplies and I just feel so creative and uplifted when I sit on my balance ball and look at my supplies.

She knows all about me (bad stuff too) and yet still really likes me.

She's known me since we both were four. We've lived very different lifestyles, but still share the same memories and values and will always love each other. Despite being out of touch sometimes for several years, whenever we get together, it's like we just saw each other yesterday. She's very near and dear to my heart.

My favorite room is my bedroom.. with my huge pillowtop mattress, topped with a down mattress pad and then a featherbed!! And lots of down pillows.. I can cocoon there with my laptop (love my wireless network, tho I think I may be using one of the neighbor's right now) and my cat.. can listen to a cd or see the small tv and there is a great view of a large tree.. right now there is a shiny black crow posturing on a branch.. Critter is making her ack ack machine-gun hunting noise and flipping her tail.. because of the crow.

I can say anything to her. I love her, I hate her. She knows what I'm thinking of feeling before I even say it. She and I have many of the SAME thoughts. She's not afraid to disagree with me or call me on when I'm an idiot. We enjoy the same things, we dislike the same things. And most of all, we enjoy each other's sense of humour. If ever I REALLY needed help, she's the only non-family person I could think of that I could feel OK going to for help, and she'd be there for me. Oh, and no topic is off limits with us. Both of us are COMPLETELY free to be ourselves.

I love all your answers! When I first met my best friend she was my only friend who was also a single mom. It started as admiration and grew into a 20 year & counting friendship. With all the twists and turns of life, she's always there for me. I can only hope that I'm as good a friend as her. NEW QUESTION What is your favorite meal and why?

Just saw a country sign yesterday that describes the relationship with a best friend. "You'll be my best friend forever! You know too much!" If I could be reduced to having one meal for a week or more, I would choose chicken. That's because I can make it a variety of ways. Now, if that's not really the question, I would choose lasagna (made my way), with tossed salad, salad dressing from Olive Garden, crusty bread with garlic and butter, and a large glass of chocolate milk. For dessert I'd have apple pie with a sliver of cheddar cheese.

Chicken fried steak, mashed potatoes and cream gravy. It was always a special treat when Mom made it, and there was never enough for seconds (that happens in a big family), so the first thing I learned to cook when out on my own was this meal. I make enough to have leftovers for a week.

Really good Mexican food or Veal Vincent (veal lightly sauteed in white wine, with mushrooms, artichokes and capers.)
