Q: Are You going to go Black Friday shopping?

Ha! I feel the same way about stuffing. If it was cooked in a turkey cavity I'm not eating it. Southern cornbread dressing is another affair altogether for me though.

Q: Are You going to go Black Friday shopping?

No, shopping in stores is too stressful for me. I prefer online shopping. Plus, I buy very few presents nowadays. Gift giving/receiving pretty much stops in my family when you become a late teen, except for spouses, children, and parents, so I buy only for my dad and husband. I don't have kids. I used to exchange with a few friends, but I kind of ended that with them. My husband does exchange with more family members, friends, and workmates, but I let him do his own shopping.

Sometimes I buy small gifts for my siblings' birthdays. They were born in December. I don't give presents to my nephew since he's an adult, but occasionally I treat him to something "just because".

Q: What is a gift on your gift wish list?

Sure. If you mean "child" as younger than a teen, I'd say my favorite stories were Dr. Seuss stories. As for music, I always liked adult music even as a child. One song that sticks out in my mind is "Sailing" by Christopher Cross. I thought that was the most beautiful song ever. I still think it is beautiful.

Q: What was your most significant accomplishment as a child, to the young you (e.g. learning to ride a bike, walking to school by yourself, etc )?

Uykulu · Nov 29, 2019 at 10:49 AM

Taking care of my little sisters,working all day on farm,skiing down to mountain,herding cows,reading lots of books,biking ,playing with friends without fighting ,daydreaming,being a happy child was most significant accomplishment... If you have a chance to be a child again .would you like to be child again ?

Even though I had childhood-onset bipolar disorder, I would do it in a minute.

Yes. We're waiting for the crowds to die down.

What is your favorite Disney movie?

bpcyclist · Nov 30, 2019 at 11:46 AM

If you include movies made by others, like Pixar, but released by Disney, that would be Finding Nemo. If you mean actual Disney movies, that would be Alladin.

the lion king. (though I refuse to see the new versionn). you don't meess with a classic like lion king.

I mean: it might be good, but I don't want to feel that I've been let down and spoil my love for the film, so I'm not.

are you well-read? (classics etc.)

I'm not as well-read as I'd like. I do have a lot of knowledge about many things, though. I do very well playing Trivial Pursuit, but at a slight disadvantage in the literature category, compared to well-read folks. Most of my major lit reading was in high school and university. Since then, I've not been a major lit book worm. More informational stuff.

Q: What is your favorite book of all time?

Dec 02, 2019 at 03:28 PM

I want to say " the railway chhildren", though I also like the secret garden. I'm not sure which of the 2 I prefer... probably railway children as i've read it more.

how do you cope with long journeys? (car, train what ever.)

but I like the evenings for the darkness, the quiet outside, again the cooler weather, and the fact that if I've had a long day it's just going to be over in a few hours

so I like them both

tea or coffee?

I love both coffee and tea. Its a tie between a iced chai tea latte or a caramel macchiato for me.

On a side note, I have been blessed to be able to be both a morning and night person though I prefer nights.

What's your go to order at a coffee shop, Starbucks or Dunkin?

(mine's a iced decaf caramel macchiato light ice)

Double shot soy mocha, no foam (no whip either!)

Which herbal tea is your favorite?

bpcyclist · Dec 08, 2019 at 12:03 PM

I don't do herbal tea, I consider it sacrilege. I'm a Jasmine type guy.

What is your favorite European country and why?

That is a very difficult question to answer. I have been to many European countries. Many have their own unique wonderful charm and appeal. I will thank Czech Republic, a beautiful country, for being the homeland of my husband. I recognize southern Portugal as one of my favorite vacation destinations ever. France is marvelous in so many parts and I love the French language and culture. Vive la France! The Netherlands is a very fun place. Italy has marvelous big and small cities with amazing art and architecture and spirited people. Poland has a special place in my heart and was the country where I saw the most amazing sunrise ever. Ireland is where I felt most part of and was the dream destination of my very Irish-looking mother (we went there together). The other countries I didn't mention, that I visited, don't deserve snubs at all.

Q: Where have you been (could be very specific spot) where you felt most at home outside of your house?

BeyondtheRainbow · Dec 14, 2019 at 03:13 AM

A: I was a camp counselor the in mountains of PA. I loved everything about the area. I would have loved to go back to the area after grad school but I only found one job sort of near there and I didn't really want it. It was too rural to have many jobs popping up. Someday I'll make it back.

Q: Do you sleepwalk?
