Today's Question Friday 1-16-09

[Blueberry]

I was guilty of being an extremely good teen. I was a prankster, though; it's just that the pranks were innocent and fun. Because of my own teenage disposition, I simply cannot relate to teen angst.

By and large, I despised comic books, but did enjoy my sisters' Archie variety.

The only thing that kept this California kid out of the water was the inability to swim. Didn't let Jaws keep me from wading, though, when I managed to make it to the beach.

Moderately spicy food is OK, but I've learned that anything hotter produces heartburn. Since I don't like feeling like I'm having a heart attack, I've chosen to tone down the spices. At least my taste buds will probably still function when I'm in my dotage.

Sorry, Karla. I forgot to weigh in on the ? of the Day.

Since LOTS of people say this is their "must read" thread, I imagine you're doing something right!

I'll admit to doing this -- -- a few times when reading your fun posts. I was wondering why there were SO many questions, but now I understand. Thanks!

The frustration I have with the current format is that it's hard to remember who says what because there's so much information and fun stuff floating about. It seemed it was easier to "get to know" posters with the smaller content. Some participants () have always been easy to identify because of their penchant for being sent to their rooms. However, others tend to get rolled into one. Perhaps it's just me and my feeble brain.

One other observation. With so many questions, most of us are resorting to copying the questions and providing answers so we can keep them straight. While this helps--a lot!--it does result in more reading time. I certainly appreciate the posters who use a different color or font to answer the questions.

As for me, my participation is simply dependent upon how much time I have and/or what time of day I finally get to the ? of the Day. I know you've stated we can answer the ? anytime, but I think much of the reading and/or participation dwindles later in the day, so I usually just enjoy everyone else's answers and save my posting for another day.

Being the only child for 11 years I did do some very foolish things while keeping myself from being bored. lol I don't think I caused their hair to turn but I'm sure I caused a stroke or two.

They are now paying me back and turning my hair gray.
For the life of me I can't remember what comic books I read but I know I did or it seems like I did, I think I did. See, my parents have caused memory loss also!

When was the last time you read a comic book ?
Like I would know????



I saw the movie Jaws,and yes I stay out of the ocean and have the creeps in the lake when the grand daughters start making the sound that means he is on his way to kill. Dummm Dummm Dummmm Dumm (brats)


Love Spicy food !

Very hot Chili is my Favorite Spicy Food.

I had a pair of skates with the key and tore up several pairs of shoes with them. I also have roller blades. ( some people never grow up) I may make my grand daughters turn gray or have a stroke. lol

[Karla with a K]

Thanks everyone for all of the great feedback !!!

Some great points were brought up.

I have to say that without all of you great folks this would never of become such a fun thing that I look forward to doing each day.

So I raise my glass (of caffeine free Diet pepsi) to each and everyone one of you !!!!


I was a good teen , but then you have my younger sister who made up for me being so good lol

She was the one who would cut school and have parties where they would sneak beer in wrapped as presents

My some what "wild streak" appeared when I was around 23

When I was young I loved the Archie comice as well as the teen beat and mad magazines
Many time now days as I am checking out in the grocery store I see the Archie comics and am tempted to pick one up just to see the changes after 40 years


The first time I saw the Jaws movie was when they released the 25th anniversary edition
By this point I had been on many Scuba diving trips where I had encountered sharks I was also a fan of the Shark specials on TV.
So when the movie began I pointed out to Hubby that they were not showing the correct "shark behaviors" lol he told me to just hush and watch.
He loves the movie but did admit that after seeing it way back when that he stayed out of not only the ocean but lakes and pools .


No surprise that this "selective eater" does not eat spicy food
No way , no how, not on my plate
I can probably saw that really spicy food has never been prepared in this house


ok off to start todays ?
