I would like a seasonal vacation ______ somewhere near _______.
(All expenses paid)
Oh, simple! Just get me a 3 year tour around the world

~ How do you feel about leaf blowers?
Most useless garden tool, ever. People blow the leaves from the yard, to a street or to neighbors yard. Rude and inefficient.

No. But I was not really looking for.

Seldom. I like quiet time.

Yes, my son, but I think he knows

No, and I don't know that song.

Not that I know, but let me Google it.....
No, I never had it - I don't care for popcorn.


~ Which would you choose: nachos with cheese or nachos with salsa?
Nachos with salsa! Make it hot, please!

White nacho chips or yellow corn?
It doesn't matter, but I want them baked.

~ Do you have a bird call?
Yes. We have many birds here. They are quite vocal, especially at night.

~ The most northerly place you have ever been to:
Probably Reykjavik.

No brownies

~ Did you get or will you be getting a flu shot this season?
(Kobber - did you get one for your season?)
No way, no vaccination of any kind!

Yep, I encounter it every day

My wish came true. Leaving to Europe tomorrow

Most every kind. Love onions.

Huh? in Texas??

The Fryday questions of October Four; 2013
~ I would like a seasonal vacation the entire month of October somewhere near Western Montana.
(All expenses paid)

~ How do you feel about leaf blowers?

Have never used one. The noise does not bother me.

~ Did you see a snake this year?

Only on tv. If I never again see a live snake in person that will be too soon. I have no use for snakes.
FYI...If you ever come to visit me and you bring your pet snake along, you will be looking for a new pet to replace your newly deceased snake


~ Do you ever listen to music at home?
Very rarely.

~ When something truly touches your heart do you ever find yourself staying silent about it due to lack of adequate words?
I do not do well expressing myself when in a highly emotional state.

~ Is there someone that you care for more than they know?
Probably not

~ Is there something that you remember that you were taught in science class when you were in school?
Do not use steel wool made for home use for experiments that include steel wool rusting. I do not remember what the science experiment was but in 9th grade science the class waited several days for the steel wool to rust which was suppose to confirm something. Turns out the steel wool the teacher brought from home was treated to not rust.

~ Did you ever sing out loud, "Jimmy crack corn and I don't care"?
It is safe to say I have never sang that out loud

~ Did you buy Cracker Jacks as a kid and have you bought any Cracker Jacks in the past 5 years or so?
Use to buy Cracker Jacks all the time as a kid. Probably has been closer to 10 years since I last bought any. Somewhere between being a kid and supposedly growing up, it appears to me they got real cheap with the prize inside.

~ Which would you choose: nachos with cheese or nachos with salsa?
I will go with cheese. If anyone on C-D answers this question saying they do not like either I will be more than happy to take it off thier hands so that I get a second answer. Then I will also be able to say salsa.

White nacho chips or yellow corn?
Either is fine

~ Do you have a bird call?
nope

~ The most northerly place you have ever been to:
To actually set foot on would be about 80 miles North of Fairbanks Alaska. I have flown over Siberia.

~ Sound good? Yes or no: raisins in the brownies!
I will say yes

~ Did you get or will you be getting a flu shot this season?
(Kobber - did you get one for your season?)
I have not. I never have and have no plan to ever get a flu shot. I grew up in a household of people that alll suffered dearly from the flu. Yet I would never get it. I have worked places where just about everyone but me would come down with the flu.

~ Would you happen to know what the word, "spurious" means?
I would.

~ You have to leave the country you are in! Which country will you wish to flee to?
I will form my own country on an island somewhere.

~ Have you any onions and if so what kind?
I am currently onionless. I do buy onions often. I usually buy either yellow or red onions. Once in a while I will buy a bunch of green onions. What I do not buy are sweet onions. I like onions with attitude.

~ Do you have a favourite blanket?
Which ever one is nearest to me when I am cold.

~ Here is something for you to do! It is a fun game that I found posted in the travel forum here on CityData. You are given 5 or 6 pictures, one after another, and you try to guess where in the world that you are. The pictures are Google map pictures so you can navigate around on them, looking for clues.

~ Did you see a snake this year? No, I didn't.

~ Do you ever listen to music at home? Yes, sometimes.

~ Do you have a favourite blanket? As a matter of fact I do and it is covering me right now.

~ I would like a seasonal vacation on a cruise ship somewhere near the Caribbean.
(All expenses paid)

~ How do you feel about leaf blowers? Don't like the noise.

~ Did you see a snake this year? Not yet, but there's still time.

~ Do you ever listen to music at home? Every day. I could no more go without music than I could go without eating, sleeping and breathing.

~ When something truly touches your heart do you ever find yourself staying silent about it due to lack of adequate words? Yes, I get self-conscious and clam up when I get too emotional.

~ Is there someone that you care for more than they know? There have been a few of those.

~ Is there something that you remember that you were taught in science class when you were in school? No, unless Psychology class counts.

~ Did you ever sing out loud, "Jimmy crack corn and I don't care"? Not since I have reached adulthood.

~ Did you buy Cracker Jacks as a kid and have you bought any Cracker Jacks in the past 5 years or so?
Yes, I used to eat them as a kid, but the quality of both the snack itself and the so-called prize has gone way downhill. Now I wouldn't bother.
~ Which would you choose: nachos with cheese or nachos with salsa?
Can I have both? They're not really nachos without cheese, salsa, jalapeños and refried beans
White nacho chips or yellow corn?
Yellow corn, but I'm not that fussy.
~ Do you have a bird call?
Yes, we have an Audubon bird caller. When we had parakeets, DH used to like to drive the budgies crazy making funny bird sounds on it. They called to it frantically, but they could never figure out where the other bird was hiding.
~ The most northerly place you have ever been to:
Vancouver, B. C., Geneva, Switzerland, or Montreal, Ontario -- whichever is farther north. I'm too lazy to look at a map.

No, thanks. I prefer chocolate chips and/or nuts
~ Did you get or will you be getting a flu shot this season?
Yes, definitely.

~ Would you happen to know what the word, "spurious" means?
Yes, I do.

Wales

Yes, I have yellow onions and green onions (scallions).
~ Do you have a favourite blanket?
We don't use it on the bed, but we have a Pendleton blanket that's nice.
~ Here is something for you to do! It is a fun game that I found posted in the travel forum here on CityData. You are given 5 or 6 pictures, one after another, and you try to guess where in the world that you are. The pictures are Google map pictures so you can navigate around on them, looking for clues.

~ I would like a seasonal vacation ______ somewhere near _______.
(All expenses paid) Right about now a week or ten days in Vanuatu would be lovely. Nice temps, great lagoons, nothing to do except decide which restaurant to go to for dinner.

~ How do you feel about leaf blowers? Hate them! Noisy and useless!

~ Did you see a snake this year? Nope

~ Do you ever listen to music at home? Yes, when I'm in the mood. Sometimes I'll play music all day long, other times I won't listen to music for days or weeks.

~ When something truly touches your heart do you ever find yourself staying silent about it due to lack of adequate words? Yup

~ Is there someone that you care for more than they know?
Yup

~ Is there something that you remember that you were taught in science class when you were in school? I remember almost nothing about science from school - hated it! Am more interested now so whatever I do know doesn't come from school.

~ Did you ever sing out loud, "Jimmy crack corn and I don't care"?
LOL nope

~ Did you buy Cracker Jacks as a kid and have you bought any Cracker Jacks in the past 5 years or so? I guess not, since I have no idea what they are!

~ Which would you choose: nachos with cheese or nachos with salsa?
Could I have mine with guacamole please?

White nacho chips or yellow corn? Don't mind - whatever is handy.

~ Do you have a bird call? Nope

~ The most northerly place you have ever been to:
I've flown over the North Pole - does that count? If not, I guess the furthest north I've been is northern Norway.

~ Sound good? Yes or no: raisins in the brownies! No thanks!

~ Did you get or will you be getting a flu shot this season?
(Kobber - did you get one for your season?) LOL my own personal question! I meant to get one this year, but didn't get around to it.

~ Would you happen to know what the word, "spurious" means?
Yes, I would happen to know

~ You have to leave the country you are in! Which country will you wish to flee to?
I've I have to flee forever, I'd probably go back to the UK. For a shorter term 'flee', I'll come to the US.

~ Have you any onions and if so what kind? At the moment we have regular brown onions, and a couple of Spanish (red) onions.

~ Do you have a favourite blanket? Nope - I don't have a blanket at all.

Thanks Rainroosty! I'll have a go at the geo-guessing thing after dinner - it's almost ready!

Have a great Friday everyone.
