How do you keep yourself busy on a rainy day ? I hate just sitting around the house. So, I tend to get out just as much on rainy days as any other day. There are a couple hardware stores I can spend a lot of time browsing at. I might go to the library.
What's your number 1 rule in life? My number one rule in life is to not give myself reason to be unhappy with the person I see when looking in the mirror.
What's the last thing you did for the first time? The last thing I did for the first time was to answer this question.
Bonus Question:
Can you fake an accent and if you could from which country can you do? I am not good with accents.
What is your next milestone? I think my next milestone will be to move from Alaska.
What's one thing you have done and didn't regret but would never do it again? I have no plans to ever deliver pizza again.
Just for fun
Who's your favorite comedian? There are so many to have only one favorite. High on my list are: Larry The Cable Guy Carol Burnett Jeff Foxworthy Mel Brooks Tim Conway
What's one of the weirdest things one of your neighbors do ? My current neighbors do not register on the weird meter. Now where I used to live about 25 years ago was another story. For a couple of months I lived in a flop house. There were 6 of us sharing the basement of a large house. Basicly there were 6 bedrooms, a small kitchen, and a bathroom. This one guy almost always stayed in his room. Whenever he came out he would lock his door. 2 minutes later when going back into his room he would of course find the door to be locked. He would go in the kitchen and get a table knife to jimmy the door open. 30 minutes later he would once again come out, locking his door behind him. 1 minute later he would try to get back into his room only to find the door locked. Once again he would get a table knife to jimmy open the door. This would go on all day.
Enjoy the weekend and remember life is too short to drink bad beer

How do you keep yourself busy on a rainy day ?
A rainy day..... too few and far between this summer. So, keeping myself busy I would clean the house and then sit on the porch and watch it rain.
What's your number 1 rule in life?
Be kind. My dad was the kindest man I've known. He was kind to those others looked down on, always saying, "There but for the grace of God go I."
What's the last thing you did for the first time?
Going to PEI.
Bonus Question:
Can you fake an accent and if you could from which country can you do?
No, I can't.
What is your next milestone?
My birthday next month. I'll be 60.
What's one thing you have done and didn't regret but would never do it again?
I'll have to think about this.
Just for fun
Who's your favorite comedian? Don't have one.
What's one of the weirdest things one of your neighbors do ? I don't have many neighbors & don't think of any of them as weird. Most of them belong to the same family, living in five houses and owning most of this hill. They have a huge family garden which they work together on..... Nice neighbors.... can't think of anything weird.
Off to my great niece's fifth birthday party. Enjoy your day, all!
Now then, I keep myself busy on a rainy day here on O-T.
No.1 rule in life is, if at first you don't succeed - give up.
I can't do foreign accents, couldn't do an American accent. But, I can imitate a Londoner. Listen to this. "My name is Michael Caine". How was that?
My next milestone is waking up tomorrow morning.
One thing I've done, didn't regret, but wouldn't do again is have children.
My favourite comedian of all time, is an English Comedian called Tommy Cooper. I saw him live a number of times in the 70s.
Weirdest thing my neighbour does. I don't even want to go there!!
Good morning everyone
Happy Saturday and enjoy the weekend

Today it's Bill Maher and by a wide margin. I have seen him perform stand up 8 times and never miss his Real Time show on HBO. We have very similar views on many issues.
When he was living it was Rodney Dangerfield.

I've been living here 4 years and I do not know any of my neighbors. Everyone here keeps to themselves.

Today's Question(s):
How do you keep yourself busy on a rainy day ?.......Watch movies, clean house, go to the movies, walk in the rain with DH, stand naked in the rain if it's warm and at night, sit on the front porch swing with some wine, update photo album, have, watch the storm from the attic, work on Halloween ideas, work on inside projects. There's always something to do.
What's your number 1 rule in life?......Always try to do the right thing.
What's the last thing you did for the first time?....Took 7 shorties to the beach.
Bonus Question:
Can you fake an accent and if you could from which country can you do?.......India. One of the shorties calls us pretending to be from India, and does a pretty good accent. We tell her with an Indian accent that she has the wrong number. We love Indian food and hope to visit there some day. I also have an Indian friend from an old job. It's always fun to hear from him.
What is your next milestone?......Finish this damn porch project before it kills me!!!! I spent about 10 hrs. sanding the bead board on the ceiling in between heat waves. My whole body hurts
What's one thing you have done and didn't regret but would never do it again?....Concrete block restoration. Getting every fleck of paint off is meticulous,tedious work.
Just for fun
Who's your favorite comedian?.........Jim Carey
What's one of the weirdest things one of your neighbors do ?......The two neighbors across the ally from us share these bushes between their lot. The one neighbor won't let the other trim their side of the bushes and he was over there trimming them yesterday. Wait until he finds out that his neighbors will have to cut half of the bushes out to install their fence. I'm sure I'll be hearing about that one soon.
Enjoy the weekend and remember life is too short to drink bad beer ........Or any beer. It all tastes the same to me, awful.
Location: The Circle City. Sometimes NE of Bagdad.
