Today’s Questions:
Is there someone from your past that you regret having lost touch with? Yep, a lady named Jeanne Haun.


What made this person special to you? We were on a temporary duty assignment together. She was the boss and, she was awesome during a very stressful assignment.


What would you want to happen if the two of you could be reunited again? Catch up on what has been happening with each other. I found a few years ago she didn't marry the guy I thought she would and ended up marrying some other person. I contacted the first guy via Facebook trying to get back in touch and, that's how I found out about that.

Bonus Question:
What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)? A genuine Ford Model T at Greenfield Village, Michigan. It was interesting though I didn't like the line I had to wait in to ride it.

Just for Fun:
You have just won a 15-minute shopping spree. You can fill a shopping cart (trolley) with as many items as it can carry free of charge. What type of store would you choose and what items are you going you fill your cart with? A Sam's Club/Costco or Best Buy. I'd first clean them out of gift cards which I can use later. Next, I'd grab their most expensive laptop and desktop computers. Then, I'd grab their best digital camera set. Then, I'd hit their cell phone section and get the super fancy model and lastly, I'd grab as many movies as I could though God only knows when I'd actually get around to watching them. I can be terrible about that.

Today’s Questions:
Is there someone from your past that you regret having lost touch with?
Sure, some people from college.

What made this person special to you?
We were friends, more like family.

What would you want to happen if the two of you could be reunited again?
There would be many more than two. We'd have a party!

Bonus Question:
What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)?
All "ridden in...."
Most recently, a smart car. Years ago, a fire engine and a train engine. Also rode in the rumble seat of one of my uncle's antique cars.
Oh, and an old buggy pulled by one of our horses.

What type of store would you choose and what items are you going you fill your cart with? Jewelry store & fill the cart with diamonds. Then I'd sell everything and buy what I really want, a house on a lake.

The leaves have started to change here. Our dirt roads will soon be covered in leaves. If I can get my school paperwork done early then maybe I'll go for a ride. Happy day, all!

Today’s Questions:

Yes, a dear friend who died when we were 18.
What made this person special to you?
He thought I was great, I thought he was great, too-he was a real booster towards me, very supportive
What would you want to happen if the two of you could be reunited again?
Well, putting aside the being dead part, I'd like to tell him how my life turned out & ask him what he had been thinking/feeling/doing, if anything.
Bonus Question:

What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)?
Back of a tractor (the hay-hauling flatbed part that's hitched to it)
Just for Fun:

Target, for health & beauty/home supplies. Denture cleanser, laundry detergent, multivitamins, etc.
But I'd also like a new bedframe to elevate my bed so I could store all these extra supplies under there.

I would like a digital camera, but otherwise find elec. gadgets too confusing to want more of.

Thanks for the Qs, Bayarea4
Have a lovely day, peoples

Today’s Questions:
Is there someone from your past that you regret having lost touch with? No one person, but many of my former college friends. I was not good about keeping in touch after I married and had children. And then I moved to the US which made it even harder. However, in these days of Facebook and email, you'd think I'd search for them and I haven't. I guess, after all, I have no regrets.

What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)? A tractor in my uncle's orchard.

You have just won a 15-minute shopping spree. You can fill a shopping cart (trolley) with as many items as it can carry free of charge. What type of store would you choose and what items are you going you fill your cart with? I think I'd choose Target and head for electronics, handbags and scarves, shoes, and women's clothing. Should be set for a couple of years!

Thanks Bayarea and happy Sunday all.

Grumman C-2 Greyhound. Took a catapult shot off an aircraft carrier while in the Sea of Japan (SOJ). All of the passenger seats face backward, which really makes sense if there was a (survivable) crash, facing rearward.

Mercedes dealership.

Well since the question has the caveat of only what the buggy can carry, I would probably go to a meat market and load up on BACON
