Do you have any artistic talents? Not particularly, though I enjoy art and music. Last weekend I went to an open studio event at a complex of artists' studios that was a lot of fun.
What are they?
I used to love to paint and draw as a child. I can still draw a little, but I haven't got what you would call "artistic talent." I can also play a musical instrument a little, but again I'm not talented.I appreciate talent in others. I guess some of us were meant to be performers and others were meant to be audiences.
What kinds of paintings/pictures do you like? I enjoy abstract and plein air.
Do you like the Opera? Love, love, love! ♥ ♥ ♥ I have been an opera fan since I was about 12 years old. When other parents of teenagers were complaining about rock 'n' roll music, mine were saying things like "Turn off that cat fight" and "What are they screaming about?"
Do you like Ballet? It's OK. I'll watch it, but I'm not a huge fan of any art form that makes me feel fat and clumsy by comparison.

Tell us about your last “good” customer service. A waiter at one of our favorite restaurants boxed up an extra dessert for us to take home, on him.
How about the last bad customer service? Appliance salesman promised a refrigerator to us "next week." When next week arrived, they said it was in their warehouse and they would call me back to set up a delivery time. Then they didn't call, and when I called them, they said they didn't have it and couldn't get it until mid-November.

Do you have any artistic talents? Oh no, I'm terribly untalented. I played three instruments as a child/adolescent (recorder-descant and soprano, piano, drums) but I was never very good at any of them. And I was always terrible at art, even my 3 year old laughs at my drawings.
What are they?
What kinds of paintings/pictures do you like? Landscapes mostly. I like paintings in the Impressionist style best, also from the Romantic era
Do you like the Opera? I do enjoy it
Do you like Ballet? Not really, probably because I was forced to do ballet as a child and it instilled some resentment towards it in me

Hmmm...not sure...probably at the post office when I asked them to check out the size of a parcel for me so I could decide if I was going to pick it up right then or not (was walking so couldn't carry a big parcel), they were nice about it when I rather expected them to just tell me to take it
How about the last bad customer service? I don't know, can't remember any.
