Today's Question(s):

What regional accent would folks say you have ?
I am southern, and to some extent still have the light southern accent of some one who has travelled too much in his life.

What kind of accent do you have ?
A light South Eastern NC Accent


Bonus Question:


What old TV show(s) do you wish they would release on DVD?
I am not sure I know of any that are not already out.


Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather go for a ride in a:
Hot Air Balloon ?
I have been up in one, and like it, would do it again. Being part of the chase crew is almost as much fun as being in the balloon.


Glider? I have also been up in a glider. Lots of fun gliding around like a buzzard in the currents. There was an airport in little river SC where you could get checked out in gliders, and rent the larger and slower ones to build hours in. It was a lot of fun to catch the up drafts yet be so close to the ocean.


Blimp? You got me here, never been up in a blimp. Might be fun just to say I did it, but than they look too slow, and safe.


Just for Fun:

How do you prefer to find your eggs prepared?
Just cooked will do fine. I like cheese in them, but that is not necessary.

If someone was to say to you "give me some sugar" what would you do?
If it was my wife I would kiss her, if it was any body else I would pass them the sugar dish.

lol have you ever tried to scratch your back using the door jam?
Oh yes, back up to it like a bear and scratch.


Give this a try:

Use the "Word of the Day" in a sentence ?
I feel sure the dogs have espied the cookie jar, and expect a treat.

Looks like BigMike got the pole today, Karla. I don't normally look ahead because I don't want my answers to be influenced by what others write, but I did glance down to see who was first......but my puter, (PST), says he wrote at 4:24 a.m.

Please send us some rain. My sweet alyssum are thirsty...

lol you could almost hear the grass and plants rejoicing

They are calling for 60% today so we shall see if the seabreeze keeps it to the west

Ok lets see who will be first out of the starting gate

Today's Question(s):

What kind of accent do you have ? I don't have one. I talk like everybody in the movies because I'm a CA Girl!


Bonus Question:

What old TV show(s) do you wish they would release on DVD ?
Gosh, I can't think of any....I pretty much keep up with the times and occasionally watch late night reruns which seem to fill the bill. I almost never watched Friends or Frasier when they were on, but I see them late at night on occasion and I'm surprised that I laugh as much as I do... The characters meshed, they had good timing and the writers were great!


Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather go for a ride in a:
Hot Air Balloon ? Possibly.
Glider ? Too scary for me.
Blimp ? Is there a bathroom on this one? If this one has a bathroom, I'll ride on this one!


Just for Fun:

How do you prefer to find your eggs prepared ? Gosh, if somebody takes the time to fix me some eggs, I'm not too picky. I think over -easy or soft boiled are my least favorites..... I like boiled, over-hard, omlettes, scrambled.....not too picky....

If someone was to say to you "give me some sugar" what would you do ? Put on more lipstick!
When my girl was little, I used to tell her, "give me some sweetness!"

lol have you ever tried to scratch your back using the door jam ? No, but my husband has done that---I tell him he looks like a bear when he does that.....
