Today's Question: At what stage is your gardening?

I don't do any type of gardening. I just try to keep my lawn in halfway decent shape, and I hire a guy to do that!....lol

Extra Credit Question: Have you ever been to Las Vegas?

I've been there twice and I love it! I haven't been out there in the past several years so I want to go back ASAP. I'm not much of a gambler so I usually just play the cheap slots....lol. I like to play blackjack at the tables on occasion. The most I've won so far is about 200 bucks (my last trip). I had been playing the cheap slots for a few hours and was mostly loosing then I then walked up to a dollar slot machine, put in one dollar, pulled the lever once and 200 bucks came out. Of course, I had already lost about 50 bucks on the cheap slots so I only made 150 bucks...lol. I also like to see some of the shows in Las Vegas.

Bonus Question: Did you ever own a Beatles album?

No, but I do like some of their songs.

Just One More: Have you ever played golf?

I played golf for a few years. I wasn't very good at it and stopped playing several years ago. My advice to anyone considering taking up golf for the first time is...take lessons from a golf pro! I didn't take any lessons and developed some bad swing habits that were nearly impossible to get rid of...lol.

Oh And Just One Last?: When was the last time you had to take a written test?

Back in the mid 90's when I was in graduate school.

Today's Question: At what stage is your gardening? Still covered with a big pile of tree branches from trimming last year. A friend is going to loan me his chipper so I can chop them up and plant, but it won't be for a while. It's still cool and rainy here and the garden is mud.


Extra Credit Question: Have you ever been to Las Vegas? Hmmm, let me think. Yes!! Approximately every other winter since the early 1980's


Bonus Question: Did you ever own a Beatles album? Album(s). All of them


Just One More: Have you ever played golf? Yes


Oh And Just One Last?: When was the last time you had to take a written test? Maybe 15 years ago for a Statistics class.

Today's Question: At what stage is your gardening?
It's.. back-stage right now..

Extra Credit Question: Have you ever been to Las Vegas?
Been there a few times - What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, but whoever goes to Vegas, won't necessarily stay there..

Bonus Question: Did you ever own a Beatles album?
Nope.

Just One More: Have you ever played golf?
Eh.. Tried it long time ago but I gave up because I kept missing my balls... errr.. The golf balls, on the swing....

Oh And Just One Last?: When was the last time you had to take a written test?
Hmmm.. It was last week, they gave me the written test to see if I could write, and I wrote a couple of words, but I flunked..
