Question #2: What's your go to snack?
Those crispy little rye crackers in snack mixes.

non-venomous snakes. They seem more manageable.

Question #4: Lets assume we are all still working class people. If I had to replace you, about how many days/weeks of training would a normal person need?
At home? about 63 years. I can't even GUESS regarding work! Which part of my job? Everything? I still don't know!

Question #5: Have you lived your life (so far) mostly in the country or city?
City. Town.

Today is:
Frog Jumping Day
Mothers Day
Rogation Sunday What's that? Oh. Had to look it up.

Rogation Day Processions trace their roots to the church of Fifth-Century France when special prayers were offered just before the Feast of the Ascension because of earthquake and poor harvests. The early Roman church celebrated Rogation Days with a Christian procession around the fields on the Feast of St. Mark (April 25) to suppress the ancient pagan roman celebrations honoring the god "Mildew" and the goddess "Rust".

Wow, that Minnesota site Rogation Day Liturgy is HARD to read, with its turquoise background!

Today's Question: What names did you call your Grandparents by? I had a Country Granny and Country Grandad (because they lived in the country) and a Pink Granny (because she used quite a bit of rouge and thus had pink cheeks).


Question #2: What's your go to snack? Chocolate!


Question #3: If you're stuck in a hole, would you rather be there with non-venomous snakes or spiders? I'd be rather claustrophobic in that hole even if there was nothing in there with me... but I'd probably take the snakes in preference to the spiders.


Question #4: Lets assume we are all still working class people. If I had to replace you, about how many days/weeks of training would a normal person need? You'd need a background in advertising and marketing, and a good ten years' experience on the job.


Question #5: Have you lived your life (so far) mostly in the country or city? The city. I grew up in a far suburb of London (bordering the country), then lived in London and Auckland before settling in Sydney for some 40 years. I've been living in the country for the last 6 years.

Thanks GG.

Happy Mothers' Day to all mothers, and Happy Sunday to everyone else!

Today's Question: What names did you call your Grandparents by?

I only had one, the other 3 died before I was born - grandma.


Question #2: What's your go to snack?

well, it's ice cream and if not that, peanuts.


Question #3: If you're stuck in a hole, would you rather be there with non-venomous snakes or spiders?

I used to hold the snakes while the teacher cleaned the tanks so as long as I know they're safe and not constrictors, I'll go with snakes.

Question #4: Lets assume we are all still working class people. If I had to replace you, about how many days/weeks of training would a normal person need?

If it's the last job I had, about a week. If it's the one before that, about 3 weeks.

Question #5: Have you lived your life (so far) mostly in the country or city?

suburbia. 10 years in 2 cities. 50 years in suburbia in 3 different states.

[Alaskan Mutt]

Today's Question: What names did you call your Grandparents by?
I only saw a couple of my Grandparents a couple of times when I was little. I did not have any special name for them.

Question #2: What's your go to snack?
I wonder how many of you think I am going to say "stinky cheese"? Well, if you did then pat yourself on the back for being correct.

Question #3: If you're stuck in a hole, would you rather be there with non-venomous snakes or spiders?
How drunk am I while being stuck in the hole. Actually, it does not matter how drunk I was as I still would not be a happy camper either way. Let's just say one of the reasons I live in Alaska is there are no snakes.

Question #4: Lets assume we are all still working class people. If I had to replace you, about how many days/weeks of training would a normal person need?
Hmmmmmm...That is a very good question. Seeing how people in my line of work are anything but "normal", I have no idea how long it would take to train a "normal" person. Now if the question asked how long it would take to train a person who is somewhat warped and twisted, then I could come up with an answer.

There is no set answer as to how long it takes to train someone to do my job. You will have to spend 2 weeks in orientation. You will spend at least another 2 weeks working with someone else. This will get you the point where you can work basic passenger flights. After working passenger flights for a few months you then need to start working cargo flights Tack on another month for learning the basics of working cargo flights After that it all depends on how motivated you are and what your ability to recognise and solve problems is. You could spend several months in class learning the quriks of the various counties we fly to and still not be prepared for what you will encounter. Most of what we know was learned out in the field on our own. FYI...If you are even remotely lacking in common sense and or when something just does not seem right you are not willing to stand your ground no matter how much someone badgers you to accept it, do not apply for my job.

Question #5: Have you lived your life (so far) mostly in the country or city?
I would have to say the city. Some of the cities were quite small. One only had a population of about 125 in a 25 mile radius. Another had less than a 1,000. And that was only if you counted the Air Force base and the town 16 miles away.

[Nomadicus]

Today's Question: What names did you call your Grandparents by? Something I made up out of the clear blue...


Question #2: What's your go to snack? Peaaches


Question #3: If you're stuck in a hole, would you rather be there with non-venomous snakes or spiders?


Question #4: Lets assume we are all still working class people. If I had to replace you, about how many days/weeks of training would a normal person need? 3 days a week for about 4 years. Applied Calculus through fStops. In the darkroom and digital dark room, in the woods hiking, wading with gators, using a lot of math quick in your head, all the while practicing social politeness while you really want to unload and say lady or sir you are one customer who is definitely wrong all the time.


Question #5: Have you lived your life (so far) mostly in the country or city? Country and small towns of 10k or less.

Today's Question Sunday - 13 May 2012


Good morning all. Lets get started. Thanks , Garlic Guy.


Today's Question: What names did you call your Grandparents by?

I never had a grandfather, but I called my mother's mom "Nana" & my more distant father's mother "Grandma".


Question #2: What's your go to snack?

Do you mean "traveling" snack or restaurant snack? Probably just a few granola bars if I am going somewhere on a trip like a plane. In restaurants, I usually get a huge chopped salad w/ the works.


Question #3: If you're stuck in a hole, would you rather be there with non-venomous snakes or spiders?

I would use my cell phone & get out of there as soon as I could. YUK!!!


Question #4: Lets assume we are all still working class people. If I had to replace you, about how many days/weeks of training would a normal person need?

well, I was a Special Ed teacher so I would say that the replacement would need extensive training.


Question #5: Have you lived your life (so far) mostly in the country or city?

Right now I am living in a semi-rural area, but I am planning to move to Boston to live near my son. Most of my life was spent on Long Island which when we first moved there was very rural, but now is mostly suburbs.
