Would you rather... 1: eat nothing but chocolate OR go without chocolate for the rest of your life? I LOVE chocolate, but I'd go crazy if that's all I had to eat, so - I'd go without it. 2: stub your toe OR get a paper cut? 3: write the news OR make the news? I'd love to write the news. 4: lose 10 pounds OR gain 10 IQ points? Lose 10 pounds - my IQ is not embarrassing, but my weight is! 5: wear a costume to work OR wear normal clothes to a Halloween party? Either - wearing a costume doesn't embarrass me, and showing up at a party without one wouldn't embarrass me, either. 6. Take this quiz - What's Normal About You... And What's Not?

Not by mistake

music!

Of course I would tell them -sheesh.

Nobody smokes inside, but of course visitors can smoke outside. Ask my mom - if she visits in the middle of winter, she has to smoke in the garage with the door open.

I'm probably the only person here who cares but - yay Phillies! Last night's game was a lot of fun.

Love those Phillies. Baseball in October is so much fun!

1. What's the last movie you saw? Wow, it must not have made much of an impression if I can't remember the title - shoot. I am drawing a blank. LOL That's sad. I remember going to the theater! 2. What's the last television show you watched? Last night's Phillies game. You know, the playoff game in which they beat the Dodgers 3. Do you sleep with your bedroom door shut? Yes. I have children. 4. What's your middle name? Sue 5. Friday fill-in: I could learn to like ___. wearing tight clothes again - I'm losing weight, yay!

This could really go either way, depending on which bit of technology you're talking about, but I'm going with bringing us together. I've reconnected with many old friends via Facebook, people I would otherwise never have been able to find since we're all so far from home now. My family, also widely scattered, uses FB and email to share pictures and stay in touch when calling is inconvenient. I was able to see pictures of my sister's new grandson within minutes of his birth! It's miraculous.

Brownies!

((((Linda)))) Barbie, we miss you, too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am totally impractical, it's definitely my heart.

I prefer a lower floor, because I'd rather take the stairs.

Absolutely insane - and just one example of why I lose my patience with people who claim a national health care system is a bad idea. I'm also someone with a "pre-existing condition," (kidney cancer seven years ago - perfectly healthy ever since!) and if my coverage is ever allowed to lapse, I'm screwed.

The Phillies, of course. What is wrong with you people?!

Best purchase - my Honda Civic. It's comfortable, fun to drive, and gets great gas mileage. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Worst purchase - Jefferson Starship tickets back in the 80s - the only concert I ever walked out of, it was that bad.

I'm fairly reserved in person (not so much online,) shyness is something I've battled my whole life, but I'm now able to take a deep breath and speak up when I need to.

I recently set my alarm to play Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go - now I wake up with that song in my head every morning. This may have been a mistake!

Take a Walk on the Wild Side - Lou Reed

Eggs Bananas Pancakes (not all at once, lol) Name 3 people (non-family members) you'd like to have dinner with.

Woke up freezing, had to break down and turn the heat on. brrrrrr

Love (or at least like) most of them, although the guy across the street could get hit by a truck and the rest of the neighborhood would probably throw a party. What a miserable bastard. Always yelling at his kids, his dogs, his wife, everyone else's kids...

I second that vote for Thanksgiving. It wouldn't hurt people to express gratitude more than once a year.

1. If you're only as old as you feel, how old are you? Usually 30 - some days, 90! 2. What habits, traits, or behaviors do you engage in that might be considered too young for you? Which might be considered a trait of someone older than you? I know some people - including my husband - think going to concerts is juvenile. Too bad! Not sure what would be considered a trait of someone older, maybe getting up really early whether I want to or not? 3. Do you ever wish you were a different age than you are now? Why? Yes, I would like to have my healthy 27 year old body back so I could treat it better. 4. Do you deliberately behave or dress a certain way to appear or feel younger than you are? How about older? Nope! 5. What is your *real* age? 49 6. Take this quiz - What Year Should You Have Been Born Under? You Should Have Been Born Under: Horse You've got a ton of energy - and need plenty of room to roam. You tend to follow your whims, and it's hard for you to stick to one thing. Specific jobs, loves, and friends are always changing and never a part of your life for long. Very intuitive, you tend to know what people are thinking before they say a word. You are most compatible with a Dog or Tiger.

I don't worry that much about getting the flu, and I don't like vaccines, so - no vaccine for me.
