Today's Question(s):

What regional accent would folks say you have ? Most people can't tell where I'm from by the way I speak. So I guess I don't have a very distinct accent? Or maybe some sort of combination?

What kind of accent do you have ?
Probably slightly midwestern, but I don't think it's at all pronounced. I just notice it when I say the word "house" kinda nasally and when I say "pop" instead of soda.

Bonus Question:


What old TV show(s) do you wish they would release on DVD ?
Bewitched and I Dream of Genie. I loved those shows. I watched reruns while growing up.


Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather go for a ride in a:
Hot Air Balloon ?
Glider ?
Blimp ?

Oh my gosh, really? Is there blackmail involved? If so, I guess I'll pick blimp, since that one has the largest space to be inside in. I am NOT a fan of heights.


Just for Fun:

How do you prefer to find your eggs prepared ? Fried

If someone was to say to you "give me some sugar" what would you do ? Depends on who it was. If it was someone I might kiss, that's what I would do. Otherwise I would look at them like they were nuts.

lol have you ever tried to scratch your back using the door jam ? No, but my hubby does this all the time.


Give this a try:

Use the "Word of the Day" in a sentence ? Sorry, brain doesn't seem to be engaging.
