Oh my, yes! Of course I know who he is. I even watched three Youtube videos that included him within the last 7 days. One was with him playing banjo with his band, another with him on Johnny Carson, and the third when he was really young (actually had brown hair) when he was a contestant on the Dating Game. At that time he was a writer for the show The Smothers Brothers. I've watched many of the movies he's starred in (even the really cheesy ones), and of course his Saturday Night Live days and guest appearances. You know, he's "A wild and crazy Czechoslovakian guy!" Actually, he's not in real life. Just the skit with Dan Akroyd. I really am a fan of comedians.

Q: Is there a topic you know a lot more about than the average person?

I know more flower and plant names than most....

Do you like bonsai?

BeyondtheRainbow · Jul 06, 2020 at 09:39 PM

I like to look at it but doubt I could ever do it myself. (I'd cut my fingers off).

What have you learned on PC?

bpcyclist · Jul 06, 2020 at 10:10 PM

The power of connection.

Been to Austria?

BeyondtheRainbow · Jul 07, 2020 at 01:41 AM

It was miserable! I think I was 15 years old and had to have parental permission. I worked a couple of summers cleaning rooms at a Holiday Inn. One of the types where the room doors face the outdoors. The summers were brutally hot and humid and I developed heat rash over much of my body. I wasn't particularly good at that job. It taught me that I never wanted to do such horrible labor ever again. I quit it and the next summer jobs were in offices.

As for first adult longer-term job, it was teaching ESL to children in Taiwan.

Q: What sound(s) do you hear right now?

Jul 07, 2020 at 04:13 AM

my music and me tapping away at the keys

oh and my drink next to me fizzing up. nice fizzy to drink later

name 1 sound (or more), that you can't stand to listen to?

I like it, but haven't had it for a long time. My husband doesn't like it (or Chinese eggplant), and it often requires garlic in associated recipes. My husband is allergic to garlic. Sorry I vent about my husband's dietary issues a lot. I love him dearly, but they do bug me a little. He hates garlic in the house and even complains about smelling it in restaurants. I do make Italian/American eggplant dishes sometimes, but that is a bit different. His allergy and certain food dislikes are a pain in the butt. Not so much for my cooking, but at restaurants and certain prepared foods at stores. I could go on about that.

Q: What is something a person (or pet) near you does that bugs you?

Fuzzybear · Jul 07, 2020 at 12:53 PM

Do you miss the people who are missing?

That's a hard choice. I like both. I suppose if I had to choose only one, I'd go with the chicken since I feel it is more versatile.

Q: If you could have anything miraculously happen today that would make you say "Ahhh!" (relief) what would it be?

bpcyclist · Jul 07, 2020 at 03:03 PM

See my son.

Like to clean?

Innerzone · Jul 07, 2020 at 03:58 PM

I have my moments (mostly yes because I like things organized and clean).

bpcyclist · Jul 08, 2020 at 09:57 AM

Salad.

Whole wheat bread?

Fuzzybear · Jul 08, 2020 at 01:36 PM

I like whole wheat bread

chocolate pudding or summer pudding?

BeyondtheRainbow · Jul 08, 2020 at 01:54 PM

I'm not sure what summer pudding is but I"d probably pick chocolate anyway.

Are you generally clumsy?
