What are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see changed in 2010? I hope our dog's neck and back problems get better in 2010. She's been on Glucosamine and Condroitin pills for a couple of months and they seem to be working. We hope that continues.

Today’s Questions:

I'd like to see more integrity in our political and legal system. Both parties have sold the country up the river imo.

On the flip side, what are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see continue in 2010?
The American people are (mostly) good solid people. I'd like to see them bring that force to bear in improving our economy and life in general.

Bonus Question:
Refresh us... what was your 2010 New Year's Resolution?
I don't do resolutions. Like a smoker..I can quit whenever I want to... Me: I can change whenever I want to.

Extra Credit Question:
Do you use an Apple Computer or a computer with Microsoft Windows?

Apple is the cat's pajamas to some, but I'm familiar with MS Windows.

Just for Fun:

Yes, we visited Anchorage in July a few years ago. Needed a jacket in the mornings. Lows in the 50s.

“Because I’m Suncoast Guy” Question:

Occasionally. Usual black with sugar. Regular or decaf is fine.

Today is:

Sorry for your cold weather today. We made it all the way up to 20 this afternoon.

Today’s Questions:

What are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see changed in 2010?
DS got laid off and I would really like to see him get something soon. Anyone know of anything for an architect who is very good at computer modeling in the Cincy area???

On the flip side, what are some things that happened in 2009 that you would like to see continue in 2010?
DW and I were able to do things on the spur of the moment. Is it going to be possible to continue to do that if one of us ends up finding work for ourselves?


Bonus Question:

Refresh us... what was your 2010 New Year's Resolution?
Don't do resolutions.

When will you start working toward your 2010 New Year’s Resolution? Or have you already?


Extra Credit Question:

Do you use an Apple Computer or a computer with Microsoft Windows?
Yes - One computer, both operating systems. I love my MacBook.


Just for Fun:

Have you ever been to Alaska before?
Nope

If yes, how did you like it?


“Because I’m Suncoast Guy” Question:
Last Tuesday in my “Did you know…?” thread, we found out that 52% of Americans drink coffee.

Do you drink coffee?
No. I did for a week when I was in college back in the early 70s. I was working in a factory during summer and the guys I worked with saw I wasn't drinking coffee at break. They said that all college students should drink coffee, so they said if I drank coffee every day for a week at break, they would buy my roll and give me $5 at the end of the week. Hey, 5 bucks is 5 bucks, especially if your in college. So it was 5 cups of coffee, 5 free rolls, 5 bucks in my pocket back in '71, and no coffee since.

If yes, is it Regular, Decaf, or other?
