| 2 | Unfortunately, I never knew my grandparents very well. My Paternal Grandmother died when I was 8 years. My Paternal Grandfather, when I was in my early teens. They lived approx. 2 hrs. away. But we did see them, and they were lovely people. My Maternal Grandparents, I saw last when I was four years old. They lived in the midwest. I never saw them again. It really saddens me that I never became close to my Grandparents. I am very close to my grandchildren, even though four of them live within one to two hrs. away. The other two, I see almost every day. They are all so precious to me. When I did see my Grandparents, I called them Grandma, and Grandpa. | How do you (or did you) address your grandparents? |
| 3 | No, I'm not adopted. I had wonderful parents, I was blessed. My husband found his half brother, when he was 70 years old, the brother 74. What a waste of time. Many years ago, I told my husband to look for his brother, but he said no, too many complications. The boy was raised by his father. My mother-in-law lost custody as she was young. My husband often said he missed having a brother. He visited his brother almost two years ago, and talked to him once on the phone. I feel so sorry for his half brother. He never knew his mother. He told my husband on the phone, "there was always a hole in my heart, not knowing my mother." My husband had to tell him, his mother died 3 years before the call. The man was saddened at the news. His father remarried after he was 46 years old. He never had a mother figure in his life. How sad! What a waste of time!!! My mother-in-law was a bitter woman, over not having her first born in her life. She talked about my husband's half brother several times over the years. The last time she saw the boy was when he was 3 years old. It makes me sick everytime I think about it. | Are you adopted? |
| 4 | Swimming, or yoga | You are offered a free fitness class... |
| 5 | I, generally speaking, like the European; the British, Scots, Irish accents, German, French, Scandinavian, Australian accents. I don't know if you would classify them as sexy, but I classify them as being easy to the ears. | Which accents do you find sexy? |
| 6 | I think there is something wrong with our tax system. I generally don't like the way our taxes are spent. | Do you think you get enough in return for the taxes you pay? |
| 7 | I'm more serious, however, I do enjoy a good time. | On balance, would you say that you're more of a serious person or more of a fun-loving person? |
| 8 | I don't have any thoughts on someone's possible misfortune. I have a friend that was born slow. She is 39 years old. I have never said anything, but everyone was aware. My husband uses the one about not having his/her oars in the water. He also uses the expression about someone being twitterpated. | Tell me a euphemism that describes a person who is not too intelligent. |
| 9 | I have asked strangers what they plan on doing with certain things in their grocery baskets, such as certain vegetables. Once I was in the produce department, and I noticed this woman had picked up almost every bunch of dandelion that was there.(I used dandelion at times). I asked her what she did with it; how she prepared it. We got into a conversation about it, and she said she ate it almost every day of her life that she could remember. She asked me to guess her age, I saw a vibrant woman of what I thought maybe 60 or 65 years. She was 85 years old. She looked as healthy as a bug in a rug. She chalked her life span on eating the dandelion, which I know is good for the kidney and liver. She then gave me tips on how to make homemade pesto. I tried her recipe, and it was easy, and delicious. | While standing in the grocery food store line, you notice the items in your neighbor's basket. You think: |
| 10 | Thank you dabprovin. I agree with you, about striking up conversations in the grocery lines, and the fine recipes, simple, but tasty recipes that are exchanged. Also, good health tips. The recipes you mentioned sound delicious. With Cream of Mushroom, and Cream of Celery, you can put together a wonderful meal very quickly. I put together, not long ago, a very fast meal, a casserole, with a green salad. Cook l lb. elbow macaroni, put in casserole dish, mix in one large diced red bell pepper. Put in shredded or torn, cooked chicken breasts (4 or 5). Put in the handy Cream of Mushroom Soup/with milk (I use soymilk) Put on top some grated cheddar cheese (I mix a little in the macaroni also) On top of mixture I put some crushed crackers. Make sure you have enough moisture in the casserole. I don't have exact measurements, I was just throwing a fast meal together with the handy Cream of Mushroom soup. I used 3 cans of soup with the milk, so six cans in all, of liquid. This recipe is especially good the second day. A little off the subject, but between you, and me, I rarely eat pasta, unless it is made from spelt flour, also, I avoid pork, also milk products as I am allergic. I avoid them, but am not rigid on these principles like I should be. Did I ever mention to you about the blood type diet? You may want to look into it. There is a book called the "Eat Right For (4) your Type" by Dr. Peter D'Adamo. The book gives a person a guideline of what foods are best for their bodies. I wish I knew of this 30 years ago. Thank you again, for your reply. | While standing in the grocery food store line, you notice the items in your neighbor's basket. You think: |
