It's the Thursday Fun-Poll !!!! YAY!
 Let's see how alike or different we all are!
Chronological Age: 55
Physical Age: 30
Emotional Age: 12
What State: CA
How you like being an MT: Eh, it's [barely] a living.
What you like/dislike about it: I like to type, but I hate being poor.
Favorite Food: Hamburgers.
Favorite Spectator Sport(s): Figure skating.
Most fun you ever had in your life: Exploring London & Oslo on foot.
One of your worst experiences: Breaking my leg at the top of the mountain while skiing, and having to hop all the way down on one leg because the ski-patrol blew right by me, and didn't even stop to help.
Funniest experience: Getting my fanny-pack caught in a chairlift seat at Squaw Valley, and going clear around the bullwheel before the stoned-out liftie realized what was wrong. Then, mortified, having to jump 6 or 8 feet to the ground while the liftie & others laughed. (Find paper bag. Cover head with it. Ski away fast!)
Best pet you ever had: A dog-pound dog I adopted in 1973. She was my sidekick for 4 years, before getting killed by a car. She understood English, so you had to s-p-e-l-l some things in her presence. She was psychic - always knew what I was thinking. She went everywhere with me: Hikes, horseback rides, long car trips, motels, other people's houses, the Renaissance Faire, art shows, concerts, etc. My mom considered her to be my sister.
Funnest job you ever had: I was a temp for Kelly Girl, and got to work for 2 weeks at an architect's firm located high in the mountains above Malibu Beach. Lots of young, cute guys worked there. Every day at lunch, we all changed into shorts, set up a volleyball court in the parking lot, and played volleyball for an hour!
Weirdest job you ever had: Worked (also as s temp) at a toilet-factory in Van Nuys. The people there were all so high-drama about that place, that I had to stifle giggles more than a few times. I also used to do saddle-repairs and bridle-making. Also got paid to drive motor homes for people who were scared to drive them.
When you win the Big Lottery, you will: Quit my job! (duh...) Buy a small house somewhere, maybe up in Lake Tahoe, preferably with a tennis court in the back. Will remove the net, and turn it into a private roller rink. Will make it "flood-able" for winter, so I can ice-skate in my own backyard. Will maybe get a pet chinchilla. Will travel frequently, especially back to London. Will own a season pass to not one, but several ski areas. Will become more involved in animal rescue.
Your favorite musical group(s): Pussycat Dolls (various); Sundogs (swamp-rock boogie); Red Elvises (Siberian surf-rock); Trans-Siberian Orchestra (orchestral rock); Michael Franti & Spearhead (various, reggae, etc.); Grateful Dead (various).
Latest pet peeve: Obnoxious skateboarders.
Favorite News Anchor: Brian Williams. (What a cutie!)
Favorite past Sat. Nite Live comedian: Gilda Radner
Favorite current Sat. Nite Live comedian: Kristin Whig... (her "Penelope" character has me ROTFL.)
Favorite Sports Hero(s): Apollo Anton Ono (short-track speed skater), Johnny Mosely (freestyle skier), Peggy Fleming (ice skater), and Joe Montana (and I don't even like football!)
Most disliked sports figure(s): Barry Bonds, and all those other 'roid junkies. OJ Simpson is no prize, either.
I cook / don't cook because: If God had intended for me to cook, I would've been born with Teflon hands.
What you would replace in your house: My fridge. It's OLD. The freezer is not frost-free, and this most recent time I defrosted it, it had gotten SO small inside, that only 2 Swanson chicken pot-pies would fit in it.
Who did you look up to as a kid or teenager? One of my horseback-riding instructors. Not only taught us kids how to ride, but she also took groups of us on field trips to places like the Art Museum, the Ballet, historial spots in the city, movies, miniature golf, concerts, the 4th of July fireworks, etc. She practically raised some of us.
Did you pass the 1st time you took your driver's test? No. I forgot to look over my left shoulder when changing lanes, and he flunked me for that. I was sooooo embarrassed, I didn't go back to re-take it for several months!
Do you text when you drive? Haha.... I can't even text when I'm sitting in the living room! Them little buttons is 'way too small for me........
What you hope to see in your lifetime: Solar-powered EVERYTHING... houses, cars, even airplanes. (yeah, right...) Switzerland. Mount St. Helens. Paris. Another Olympic in-person. (Went to summer 1984 in Los Angeles... it was just TOO much fun!) The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show in person. Death Valley. Burning Man. Australia & New Zealand. Spain. Ireland. A tornado (from a safe distance). And....! MT becoming a good-paying job again someday.
Worst pain you ever felt: A couple of real doozer, 3-day migraines. Yes, those were even worse than my broken leg!
How you treat a really bad mood: I avoid other people if possible. Stay inside all day and watch lots of daytime "trash-TV" shows. Buy a gallon of chocolate-chip-cookie-dough ice cream, and polish that puppy off in one sitting. Spew a little on Craigslist's "Rants & Raves" board. Bake a few million cookies. Go for a very long drive, hike, skate, or bike ride. And....double up on the Prozac
Favorite gemstone: Amethyst
Favorite color(s): Purple
Favorite domestic animal: Horses, cats
Favorite wild animal: Mountain Lions
Happy Flyer, or White-Knuckler? Happy mid-flight, white-knuckler on takeoffs/landings.
Phobias: Bees, especially killer-bees. Large numbers of any type of bug. Sharks and jellyfish. Sometimes seaweed.
"I would rather die than eat a - :" Tomato.
A friend or relative who passed away 20+ years ago gets to come back and visit you for a day:
You would be proudest to show them: The view from where I'm living.
They would be most shocked by: The attacks on 9/11.
They would be most amazed/intrigued by: The Internet.
They would be most dumbfounded by: The near-collapse of Wall Street, & the imminent collapse of the American automobile industry.
The activity you would most like to do together: Go skiing!
This person was: My dad.
Well, I lost my job on Thursday the 12th,
so I guess that's the bad luck day for me now.
I loved that job, but the economy finally got to the nursery business I've been working for. I was offered a lesser job until the economy comes back, but I don't know how I'll survive. I've been without a computer for about 3 weeks, so I couldn't do any of the general transcription work I had started doing. Life was really good for the month since I'd moved out and started over on my own, too.
Results show is Thursday night.

In Limestone County, Alabama, Thursday the 24th is the last day.
Students go half-day Thursday.
My 2 high schoolers started back last Thursday. It is
so hot here (Virginia) they are having to dismiss school early. The high school is putting in an air conditioning as well as a new heating system even as we speak, but the air won't be up and running until next spring. Now if only all the other schools would get air conditioning. Hopefully soon.
I bowl on Thursday nights so it's take out for the rest of the family - NM

Grey's Anatomy & Hopkins - Thursday nights. sm
Law & Order SVU and Desparate Housewives. I usually use the DVR and watch them when I get a chance.
Burn Notice starting it's new season on Thursday
that is one fine man.... yummy...oh, yeah, love the show, too.
And Thursday night is safer than Friday night - how?
We used to live in a town that was once in the Guiness Book of World Records for number of churches per capita (which by the way was the worst place I've ever lived - discourteous, Nazi schools, etc.), and they wouldn't let us trick or treat on Sundays. Ridiculous! People can say what they want but celebrating Halloween doesn't make you a devil worshiper! Just my 2 cents!
