New quiz for those with time on their hands.
Lynne:
1. Do you ever go to a Casino, and gamble,,,if so what is your favorite game..? Maybe once or twice a year and I love blackjack. It's a very good thing I don't live closer, probably, because I would become an addict - I love the numbers, probability, being a math geek. ;)
2. Have you ever fantacized about owning a restaurant? What kind...american, chinese, mexican, sushi, health food. or other........? It's a romantacized fantasy, but I want an Irish pub - peat fire, Gaelic music, Guinness and Harp on tap, Jameson and Bushmill's behind the bar, and a kitchen that turns out sheperd's pie and pasties.
3. Do you like to go everywhere in flip flops, cowboy boots, or sneakers? No real preference...I'm not a shoe person - usually wear something I like until I wear them out, then get new ones.
4. Did you ever have a car crash....not a fender bender, a real crash? Two years ago 5/5/2005 and it changed my life forever...who knew I was mortal?! ::)
5 What kind of car do you drive? Is it a fuel effecient model...ie prius,,etc? It's an Isuzu Rodeo and is *not* fuel efficient at all...because I haven't been able to wrap my brain around buying a new car. The vehicle in question 4 was a Civic. I'm very close to mustering courage for a Honda hybrid, though.
6. If you won the lottery, would you spend the money on a home, a car or boat, great vacation? None of the above - I would invest it.
7. If you could do so magically, would you be a famous, actor, singer, writer, or business tycoon? I think I would...it'd be a sweet life, to have the freedom that comes with having unlimited money (thinking Bill Gates here)...but I guess you trade that for the freedom of anonymity.
8. What was your position in the birth order of your family? Oldest of two.
9. How many hours a day sleep do you, need or require? I need 9, I'm happy to get 6.
10. Do you prefer a regular bed, a water bed, a sleep member bed...or do you sleep on the floor, on a mat, Japanese style....? Futon
11. Did you ever take a class in Judo, Carate, or Kung Fu. I was one step away from my black belt in tae kwon do.
12. Do you believe in reincarnation? It's a possibility.
13. If so what would you like to become when you return? My kitty - they get 9 hours of sleep! :D
14. Do you have an idea as to how to solve the problem, in the middle east...no matter how crazy? ???
15. Have you ever bought a silly toy, as an adult? I have a slinky right now, to the left of my keyboard. I play with it at work when I'm thinking.

David In Indy:
1. Do you ever go to a Casino, and gamble,,,if so what is your favorite game..?
I lost $3000.00 at Casino Aztar in Evansville once, and I've never gambled since.
2. Have you ever fantacized about owning a restaurant? What kind...american, chinese, mexican, sushi,
health food. or other........?
No. Never. I would love to open up my own camera shop or music store someday though.
3. Do you like to go everywhere in flip flops,,cowboy boots, or sneakers?
I do have a very nice pair of cowboy boots, but normally I wear my Reebok sneakers during the day.
4. Did you ever have a car crash....not a fender bender, a real crash?
I blew my tire out on I-465 a few months ago and I sideswiped the guard rail at 50 MPH. The airbags deployed and I wasn't hurt too badly. I wish I could say the same thing about my car.
5 What kind of car do you drive? Is it a fuel effecient model...ie prius,,etc?
Due to the accident I just told you about, I now have a new car; a blue Honda Accord.
6. If you won the lottery, would you spend the money on a home, a car or boat, great vacation?
All of the above! :D
7. If you could do so magically, would you be a famous, actor, singer, writer, or business tycoon?
An actor/singer. I would love to perform on Broadway.
8. What was your position in the birth order of your family?
I am the oldest. I have one younger sister.
9. How many hours a day sleep do you, need,,or require?
Only 3 or 4 hours. But I sometimes take a short cat nap in the afternoon.
10. Do you prefer a regular bed, a water bed, a sleep member bed...or do you sleep on the floor, on a
mat, Japanese style....?
I have a regular queen size bed with a nice comfy mattress!
11. Did you ever take a class in Judo, Carate, or Kung Fu.
Funny you should ask this. After I was beat up for the third time in a homophobic attack, I took karate lessons. I am a brown belt. But that was a long time ago, and I sometimes wonder how much of it I actually remember. I hope I never have to find out!
12. Do you believe in reincarnation?
No, not really. I do firmly believe in life after death though.
13. If so what would you like to become when you return?
Well, if I did believe in it, I would like to come back as an Eagle. My Mother gave me the Lakota name Cikala Wanbli (Little Eagle) when I was a baby. She told me I have an eagle spirit. Later during a vision quest, I found out I actually have a horse spirit and I took the Lakota name Yamni Tasunka (Three Spirit Horses). But eagles are very, very cool!
14. Do you have an idea as to how to solve the problem, in the middle east...no matter how crazy?
Well, I've always believed in "give peace a chance". But no, I don't have any answers.
15. Have you ever bought a silly toy, as an adult?
Yes! Many! Are we supposed to tell you about some of them? I just bought some Lego the other day! <blush>
Great questions Janice!!! :)

Kerry:
1. Do you ever go to a Casino, and gamble,,,if so what is your favorite game..?
I don't live far from the casino here in Sydney, but I've only ever been there once, and that was to have a meal in one of the restaurants on a friend's birthday, not to gamble. I'm not into gambling. Gambling is not one of my vices!
2. Have you ever fantacized about owning a restaurant? What kind...american, chinese, mexican, sushi,
health food. or other........?
No, can't say that I have. Too much hard work. And I don't fancy working at night.
3. Do you like to go everywhere in flip flops,,cowboy boots, or sneakers?
Black leather business shoes for work. Nike sneakers on the weekend. Barefoot at home, Summer & Winter.
4. Did you ever have a car crash....not a fender bender, a real crash?
No, I'm a very cautious driver.
5. What kind of car do you drive? Is it a fuel effecient model...ie prius,,etc?
I drive a Daihatsu Charade. It is very fuel efficient. The only thing more fuel efficient than my car is shoe leather!
6. If you won the lottery, would you spend the money on a home, a car or boat, great vacation?
I would pay an architect to design my dream home, to my specifications, in consultation with a Feng Shui practitioner. I would also buy a black BMW (it's cliche, I know, but I love them - they're so elegant). I would buy an apartment for a dear friend of mine, and give away assorted gifts to other friends, and to a couple of AIDS charities here in Sydney, particularly the Luncheon Club, which delivers food to AIDS sufferers in their homes. I'd invest the rest. Guess I'd better buy a ticket, hunh!
7. If you could do so magically, would you be a famous, actor, singer, writer, or business tycoon?
I would love to be a famous painter - oils on canvas.
8. What was your position in the birth order of your family?
I am the youngest son of four sons. My three brothers are all a good deal older than me. My eldest brother is old enough to be my father. The brother closest in age to me is 10 years older than me.
9. How many hours a day sleep do you, need,,or require?
I get 6 hours sleep every night, on average. I'm happy with that.
10. Do you prefer a regular bed, a water bed, a sleep member bed...or do you sleep on the floor, on a
mat, Japanese style....?
Regular bed. Queen size!
11. Did you ever take a class in Judo, Carate, or Kung Fu.
No, but wish I had done so, when I was younger.
12. Do you believe in reincarnation?
Oh, yes! Absolutely!
13. If so what would you like to become when you return?
An appropriate incarnation, in accordance with whatever merit I have earned.
14. Do you have an idea as to how to solve the problem, in the middle east...no matter how crazy?
God only knows!
15. Have you ever bought a silly toy, as an adult?
Oh, yes! For myself and others!
