Thank you for the questions, Bayarea!
Happy Sunday, everyone!
Today’s Questions:
Is there someone from your past that you regret having lost touch with?
Yes
What made this person special to you?
He was my first 'serious' boyfriend (as serious as you think it is when you're sixteen)!
What would you want to happen if the two of you could be reunited again?
I'd just like to chat with him - find out about his life, compare notes - definitely wouldn't be looking to rekindle anything!
Bonus Question:
What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)?
Some kind of racing car (I don't remember what type). I was a little kid and was driven (very slowly) from one side of the race track paddock to the other, sitting on the driver's lap. The driver was a friend of my Dad's. They were a little more spacious in those days!
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?
I think I'll be mercenary and go to Cartier, to fill the trolley with jewellery! (Then I'd sell it, as I don't wear much jewellery).
Today’s Questions:
Is there someone from your past that you regret having lost touch with? Yes.
What made this person special to you? Love
What would you want to happen if the two of you could be reunited again?I would have to die first. Better to leave it as it is. I am not one to try and over analyze things. Life is okay as it is.
Bonus Question:
What is the most unusual vehicle you have ever driven (or ridden in)?1965 chevy impala with three by the knee. I can't remember if it was a 4 speed or 3, but I had never seen one before.

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? Grocery store and hit the meat section pretty hard. In 15 minutes, I could do some pretty heavy damage to that store. I would need a train trolley with about 15 trollies!
