Sia | Saturday, January 11, 2003 - 11:39 pm     Hey, T, excellent question, although I must admit that I thought of that exact same question last night! GMTA! A: If I could get free cosmetic surgery from a reputable doctor, I'd have him liposuction every ounce of fat from my body that he thought it prudent/safe to remove. I'd have him leave me a lean, mean fighting machine! ROTFL! Q: What brand of computer or laptop do you use to access the Internet? (I realize some folks use webTV.) |
Cyn | Sunday, January 12, 2003 - 03:24 am     I use a Dell for my home personal use. Are you "new school, old school or future school" with your approach to Life? |
Marysafan | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 09:16 am     Neither...I am probably my own school. I tend to decide things for myself and not follow the paths of others...but very middle in of the road...trying to lead a balanced life...and avoiding extremes. What was your first car? |
Lucy | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 09:29 am     My first car was a brand new 1977, Blue, Datsun B210 hatchback! LOL! What is you favorite pair of shoes in your closet right now? |
Djgirl5235 | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 09:30 am     My gold suede hiking boots - how I wish I could wear them every day!!!! What was the last movie you saw at the theatre? |
Marysafan | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 09:56 am     I have already answered this question...so I will leave it for someone else...but I just had to say.....LUCY!!!!! COOL car! Whatever happened to hatchbacks! |
Bakerygirl | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 02:25 pm     Scooby Doo with my son or 8 Mile with my husband. Can't remember which was last.. Speaking of movies, Can you remember the first movie you saw at a theater? |
Whoami | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 02:31 pm     A.Probably not the first, but it certainly was the first that impacted me. It was Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte. We arrived late, and came in where a head is being chopped off, and it's rolling on the floor. We were walking down the aisle of the theatre, and I was sure it was going to roll right down the aisle at us! I was six years old, and still a thumb-sucker (primarily at night when I went to bed). I was so terrified someone would come and chop off my head and hands, I'd sleep with the covers tightly up around my neck (like the blankets could stop an axe!). I couldn't get my hand out from under the covers (making it vulverable to that axe) to get it to my mouth (to suck my thumb), and thusly I was finally broken of the thumb-sucking habit!! Q. Do you have any relatives (past/present) who were famous/semi-famous? |
Ladytex | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 02:34 pm     A: My dad's cousin was in Count Basie's Orchestra Q: If, for some strange reason, you had to leave your home with only one piece of furniture, which one would you pick? |
Fanny | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 02:41 pm     If I could keep what's in it, my china display cabinet filled with waterford & lladro. If I had to drag it out empty, probably the hand-carved mahagony & marble bar made in Thailand that I got while living overseas. How old is the oldest item of clothing in your closet and what is it? |
Kady | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 02:43 pm     Q: If, for some strange reason, you had to leave your home with only one piece of furniture, which one would you pick? A: I guess I would pick my glider rocker my parents gave me before the birth of my son. Q: Do you have a good luck charm that you carry with you? |
Twiggyish | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 03:06 pm     A. My husband is my good luck charm, but I don't carry him with me..LOL So, I guess my gold heart necklace. It was blessed by the Pope. (My mother brought it back from Rome) Have you ever lost something valuable? |
Curiouscat | Monday, January 13, 2003 - 04:57 pm     To answer Fanny's question: How old is the oldest item of clothing in your closet and what is it? An Oriental paterned silk vest my Mom had tailer-made back in the mid-70s. Do you still have Christmas cards or decorations still on display? |
Weenerlobo | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 06:39 am     YES! All of the above. Christmas tree too. They are history as of this weekend, if it kills me! What word or phrase do you use a lot in conversation? |
Lizadee | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 08:19 am     Weenerlobo, do you think Curiouscat knew that ? |
Weenerlobo | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:05 am     LOL! Prolly! The best thing is when I take my glasses off and then stare at the tree. No details there, just lotsa pretty lights. lol |
Marysafan | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:19 am     I have several words and phrases that I use. I was once at a seminar with all of the 21 mangers that I supervised. I was aghast when in jest they all began to demonstrate these "Maryisms". They would include, but not limited to "SUPER!", "AWESOME", COOL, ROYALLY, Absolutely, Crime in italy, and as big as Baltimore! What is your biggest political concern today? |
Whoami | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 01:17 pm     A. War of course! Q. Why was Twiggy's question (Jan 13. 3:16pm) skipped? |
Marysafan | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 01:54 pm     To answer Whoami....an over sight I am sure. To answer Twiggy...Yes, I have lost something valuable...My Mother-in-law! I went for an interview for a promotion in my company in the "big city" of Green Bay. My mother-in-law decided she would like to come along with me. We would take their new car...and then we could spend the day shopping. Now if this had been MY mother....I would have simply told her her no...but being that it was my MIL (who I adored)...I reluctantly agreed. She dropped me off at my interview and said she would shop until noon and then would be back to pick me up for lunch. Just before noon, I concluded my last interview (I had to meet with several people) and waited in the lobby to be picked up. All the people that I had just interviewed with smiled and waved as they left for lunch. They were surprised an hour later when they came back and I was still there. I began to be concerned. Another hour passed before I became frantic. I had time to think and put forth my plan of action. I called every police dept., every hospital and had her paged in every major shopping center in the area. Then I called home. I called my father-in law. "I've lost Mom". By 3:00 and still no sign, the kind people at the company for whom I worked became concerned. Word spread through the building that I was still in the lobby. The executives who had just interviewed me that morning...volunteered any and all company assets to assist me. They offered me a car, hotel room, and even offered to fly me home or fly hubby down....whatever I needed. Hubby and his dad started out for Green Bay about 4:00. They were going to check in every half hour. At 5:00 the building was going to close but the switchboard operator was asked to stay overtime to keep the lines open. At 4:30, when hubby made his first call and I was on the line with him....the other line rang. It was MIL. Somehow she had become confused...and thought she had dropped me off at the Holiday Inn two blocks down the street. She had sat there in the lobby all day waiting for me. They changed personnel at the front desk and the new woman asked my MIL what she could do to help. When my MIL told the woman the name of the company where I was interviewing...she called all over until she found me. I was able to tell hubby to turn around and head back home. I had finally found her! Although it was a happy ending at the time... it was a pivotal event in the life of my MIL. It was the start of the onset of Alzheimer's disease. She died a few short years later. BUT! the good news is. I got the promotion and when I came back to the building for orientation...EVERYone asked about my mother-in-law. I think they learned that I was good in a crisis situation. |
Marysafan | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 01:59 pm     oops forgot my question....What was the last book you read? |
Whoami | Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 02:46 pm     Heheh Mary, I figured it was probably an oversight. But, for one thing I didn't want Twiggy to end up being ignored, and that way I didn't have to come up with a good new question! And, we may have missed out on a very compelling story from you! {{{Mary}}}} |
Weenerlobo | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 06:00 am     Whoami - you are a sweetie Marysafan - what a stressful day for all! Yikes. The book I'm reading right now (almost done) is Beethoven's Hair. Pretty interesting story about how a lock of his hair travelled through time to be auctioned off by Sotheby's to 2 American enthusiasts. Q. Salad dressing or mayonnaise? |
Kady | Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 06:13 am     Mayo for sandwiches. Miracle Whip for tuna, potato salad, and taco salad What was the last music cd you bought? |
