No to everything except question number ten. Then what comes to mind is.... They should be keeping a lot more of them back. And for the non PC part....if parents can't help their kids with school work they shouldn't be adding to the gene pool.

1. Do you ever create noise in your house, like turning on TV just because it is too quiet and spooky?? I like white noise, but not because I'm spooked when it's quiet. I have persistent tinnitis in one ear, and white noise helps to drown it out so I don't go crazy. I almost always have the TV, radio or white noise machine one when I'm home.

2. When you order food, is there anything you "pick off" and either discard, or save for later" Only raw onions if I forget to tell the server to have the kitchen leave them off.

3. Could you identify jello flavors, if blind-folded? Sure. But I don't like Jello, so I won't be putting that claim to the test anytime soon.

4. A) Bill and Ted, B) Beavis and Butthead, C) Dumb and Dumber? I've never seen any of those.

5. Were you ever seriously spanked as a child? Spanked, yes. Seriously, no. A few swats with the hand or the cupped end of a wooden spoon. Frankly, whatever bad (aka fun) thing I'd done to earn the spanking was worth it.

6. Subtract your lowest-ever adult weight from your highest. How much difference?

7. Did you ever drive a Right-hand-drive car in a Keep-left country? No. I've ridden in them, but would never attempt to drive in them. I'd be too nervous! How was it? N/A

8. What's your everyday (week, month, year) brand of beer? Splurge brand? Light? It's extremely rare for me to buy beer. If I did buy a 6-pack to take home, I guess it would be Modelo Negra or Leinenkugel's Dark Lager.

9. All-time ever TV news anchorperson? I don't know. Maybe NBC's Tom Brokaw.

10. What word first comes to mind to classify pupils who have to repeat a grade? Is your word politically correct? It would never occur to me to classify a child because they had to repeat a grade.

Boo Boo to you, too!

1. Do you ever create noise in your house, like turning on TV just because it is too quiet and spooky??
I do. I sleep with my ceiling fan, a floor fan and my TV on. xD

2. When you order food, is there anything you "pick off" and either discard, or save for later"

If there's anything on it that I don't want than I'm not likely to eat it at all.

I don't think so.

4. A) Bill and Ted, B) Beavis and Butthead, C) Dumb and Dumber?

Not very familiar with any of these.

5. Were you ever seriously spanked as a child?

I believe was spanked, but I don't know what "seriously" means in this context.

6. Subtract your lowest-ever adult weight from your highest. How much difference?

Oh dear. We don't talk about my weight right now.

7. Did you ever drive a Right-hand-drive car in a Keep-left country? How was it?
I don't drive and I have never been outside of the US.

8. What's your everyday (week, month, year) brand of beer? Splurge brand? Light?
I don't drink alcohol.

9. All-time ever TV news anchorperson?
We have a local weatherman named Travis Meyer. I will miss him when I move.

If you mean kids who were considered slow were called retarded. That became non-PC later on. Not the same as repeating a year tho.

1. Do you ever create noise in your house, like turning on TV just because it is too quiet and spooky?? No, but I would start turning the lights on.

2. When you order food, is there anything you "pick off" and either discard, or save for later" Pickles, pepperoni, some times tomatoes

3. Could you identify jello flavors, if blind-folded? Most of them.

4. A) Bill and Ted, B) Beavis and Butthead, C) Dumb and Dumber? 1. Beavis/Butthead (actually funny) 2. Bill/Ted 3. Dumb/Dumber (an annoyance).

5. Were you ever seriously spanked as a child? Probably

6. Subtract your lowest-ever adult weight from your highest. How much difference? 20 pounds. Lost 65 in one summer when I was 15 and put it all back on +5 the falling year before losing it all again.

7. Did you ever drive a Right-hand-drive car in a Keep-left country? How was it? Never had a major mess up, but occasionally went on the wrong side. Had a couple of occasions where I drove on the wrong side even back in the US. It takes a couple of second sometimes.

8. What's your everyday (week, month, year) brand of beer? Splurge brand? Light? Not a drinker. Honestly the well known brands all sort of taste the same.

9. All-time ever TV news anchorperson? Never had a favorite. I do tend to like the weather person the most and have a few anchors that are a "change the channel" when they come on.

10. What word first comes to mind to classify pupils who have to repeat a grade? Is your word politically correct? Flunkies. I don't think so.
