What's your favorite time of year?

I don't.

Where will you take your next vacation?

Flute, I used to play it!

Why do you play mafia?

Assuming i could eat it would be homemade mac & cheese, country fried steak and gravy, fried okra, with a fine red wine and black bottom pie for dessert.

What are you most likely to waste time on vs. being productive?

Yes.

Paris or London

Chicago - I've never been

And I'll repeat Vomps question:
Rome or Berlin

summer squash

BMW or SUV

Usually between 10:30 and 11:00

Publix of course, with forays to fresh Market and whole Foods.

Raise the Red Lantern

Italy

Where have you been that you don't ever want to go back?

I love blue cheese.

Do you like feta cheese?

I don't ever eat pepper jack but i suppose its ok

Do you ever go to whole foods and sample their cheese?

No.

Do you ever stay in your jammies all day?

No.

Did you watch The Wire?

I think this is a question that needs more than one answer. I have a midrange laptop, on sale it was about $450. It has lasted me 3 years and is still going strong. I doubt I'll have to replace it before 5 years. I looked at higher priced laptops but couldnt justify spending that much more for more than I needed. My husband is still using a good laptop that is on about year 7 but there are things that are starting to fall apart. Based on my experience with this laptop I'd go for midpriced.

If you could live a day in the shoes of one Syndicate member for one day, who would it be?

I would live as canuck so i could experience what its like to be a dancer and be creative.

I'll leave the question Canuck put up as the next question to answer.

I saw them a lot last summer but they were non-poisonous. Just made my stomach turn at the way they wiggle.

When you go to the beach do you sit under an umbrella or directly in the sun?

When I go to the beach I don't sit at all. I scramble on the cliffs and hike in the woods and ramble across the rocks.

When you're hiking, do you prefer mountaintop vistas or coastal seascapes?

haha canuck we obviously live near different seascapes!

I prefer mountain vistas.

If you can have anything you wanted what would it be? (must be a material thing not world peace, things about kids, parents, husbands, etc.,and no fair saying a wish where you could wish for everything) whew! long caveat!

SVS scooped me out!

I would see the life of that animal in a caged environment without another of it's species and without the ability to roam free as sad. If you cloned a series of the animal what would its babies be like? If you let it go how long would it live and how would it change plant and animal life and if it's just one it's lonely? Just too many questions for me.

Do you believe Oswald worked alone in assassinating John F. Kennedy?

I bathe using a Jo Malone scent.

If you had any amount of money to spend to buy a car or a truck what would you buy? (the money can only be used for a car or truck)

Don't you bring your paint NEAR my wood floors. I've seen some that looked nice in magazines but I don't know what kind of wood that was. Mine are bamboo and no paint on bamboo.

Is your Christmas tree up and your presents all wrapped and under it?

Mongoose wrote:I asked for some pecan oil, I think I will probably get that. I'm such a practical person that people love to give me non-practical things like smelly candles and bubble bath and skin smoothies and I LOVE those. I think I asked my dad for mongoose-related things. My very own Ron Swanson sent me an amazing Leslie Knope print.

I once had an ex-boyfriend give me a box of used bandages on our anniversary. Or maybe Valentine's - what's the worst present you've ever received?

Too bad we never met before you left the area. I have some pecan oil, fresh, that was used once. I would have given it to you.

Sorry to interrupt the flow of q & a.

A battery? q.m. Like a double A or a C q.m. No.

Where do you plan to travel next?

Fall plans, we're going to london.

Did you watch the SuperBowl? What did you think?

Be a customer service call center representative from home (this is a real job).

Sun or shade?

I would have The Wire brought back (sorry fellow Lost fans). I thought it was the best show on television. Watch it if you haven't already.

What TV show did you spend time watching that you ended up thinking was a waste of your time?

In the pencil sharpener - I didn't know there was any other way.

What is the most scared you've ever been?

Morally ambiguous because they are so much more interesting and Imo mirrors people in rl

Who was your favorite - Kate, Juliet, Sun or Claire - and why?

Well, I won the syndicate football pool which included the Super Bowl. It was close though, I was really lucky.

What was your favorite Super Bowl commercial?

I totally agree with you S~V~S, the dog ordering from Alexa made me laugh a lot. And my runner up was the Bud/GOT one. I also liked the elevator that went to floors like Root Canal.

Now that the Super Bowl is over what's the next big sporting event you are looking forward to?

Oh gosh I'm allergic to everything - trees, grasses, mold, dust, cat, dog, horse, and several drugs like penicillin. No peanuts though or other food.

Also, yes fuchsia is a color.

What is your favorite funny movie?

Oh gosh JJJ, here we were rolling along with easy questions and you ask something hard lol! I don't know that I am interpreting your question correctly but I do feel some art is objectively good and some bad. Though as I say that I don't know that everyone would agree with my assessments so maybe it's not objectively good or bad. I'd like to know what others think about this question so I'm going to repeat it.

Is it possible for art to be objectively good or objectively bad? What is your favorite piece of art?

3 bedroom with an office that can be converted into a 4th bedroom.

If you are in the USA, are you going to benefit from the tax cuts that went into effect for this tax filing season? If you are overseas did your taxes go up, down or remain the same for fiscal 2018 (I don't know if overseas is filing now like we are)?

No, no, no and hell no.

If you are going to watch TV are you more likely to pick a comedy or a drama?

Hi [mention]indiglo[/mention] !

An emerald rock.

What was your favorite vacation?

No, no plans. Restaurants are too busy to go out to eat, I can't eat candy, and am allergic to most flowers. We don't really celebrate valentines other than to get each other a valentine.

What's your favorite love song (or romantic song)?
