I'm very impressed with your thoughtful answers to questions of a medical or health nature. Do you have a medical background?

What is the best concert you've ever attended?

What makes you laugh?


silverwhisper: same question.

 

[bobsgirl]

Dll

If I were to visit your city, what is the one thing that I absolutely must see or do during my stay?

 

[LadyJeanne]

Oh, wow, thanks. No, I don't have any medical background at all. But I read a lot, and ever since I started having sex, I've wanted to make sure I knew as much as possible about how my body works, birth control, periods, etc. It's so much easier now with the internet, though you do have to sort through a lot of information.

What is the best concert you've ever attended?

this is a tough question... let me start backward and say that the WORST (or at least most disappointing) show i ever attended was a sting concert.

there are a lot of degrees of best but just off the top of my head, i think yes' union tour was likely the most fantastic show i've ever seen on so many levels.

since i'm here, and for comparison sake, here's a list of all the bands i've seen (in no particular order):
elton (solo 5 times, w/billy joel and w/eric clapton)
moody blues
the who
steve miller w/eric johnson
genesis
pink floyd
yes (and the anderson, bruford, wakeman & howe incarnation)
ELP
rod stewart
phil collins
sting
rush
maynard ferguson
kenny chesney (don't ask... i thought i'd get laid)

i think that's it. in thinking over it all, i'm sticking with the yes "union" tour as my favorite.

sassy_girl:

what makes you think you're sassy?

LOL ......mmmmm well because I can do and say very sassy things!

One example - one year for Christmas I wrapped up items that my parents had left in my apartment the previous year that I had to move with me when I moved. (I was not happy about that as it was 100+ that July - Yikes) I presented the gifts very seriously to them, letting them know this was a gift I had thought long and hard about, as I wanted to express to them how much they mean to me, etc etc.....lol

They both got such a kick out of it - and this memory (plus the pictures) is very special to me now that they are gone.

Bobsgirl..........

Did you like Mr Bob when you first meet him? What about him drew you to him?

 

[EJFan]

ok. here goes. i finally have some questions to pose. if any are too personal/intimate, please feel free to ignore them. just know that i don't mean anything by it if you take it that way.

erika: what is the best single piece of advice you ever gave in HT?

bobsgirl: what is the best decision you ever made in life?

eilan: what celebrity do you most resemble? (i have a suspicion based on what little of your face i've seen but i'm curious if i'm even close)

scalywag: what kind of work do you do and how do you like working from home?

silverwhisper: is ed really your name or is it all some sort of misdirection?

quoll: is it true that in australia almost everyone has a pool and it's not really considered a status symbol? and do you get tired of getting asked questions about australia (we americans are really fascinated by that place)?

more to come... just have to wait for the ol' brain to kick back in gear.

 

[Eilan]

eilan: what celebrity do you most resemble? (i have a suspicion based on what little of your face i've seen but i'm curious if i'm even close)

I have no idea. About 15 years ago, someone told me that I looked like Drew Barrymore in one of my HS senior pics. Of course, she followed that with, "I hate Drew Barrymore." I fail to see the resemblance, though.

What celeb do you think I look like? Other than Paul Reubens, I mean. He's not really a celebrity, though, is he?

 

[EJFan]

What celeb do you think I look like? Other than Paul Reubens, I mean. He's not really a celebrity, though, is he?

first of all... paul reubens IS a celebrity. i saw him on tv so he must be.

i suspected that you looked like andie mcdowell... but i'm only basing that on the distorted pictures and partial images of your face that have been used for your avatar.

I've never really thought about it. I don't think I look like her, but my voice is just as annoying as hers.

 

[bobsgirl]

Did you like Mr Bob when you first meet him? What about him drew you to him?

It was back in 1973, my first year of college. The first time I saw MrB I thought OMG, he looks just like ***** (I can't even remember his name, now), a guy I had had a crush on at the time. I liked him even though he was shy and more than a little geeky. We first got to know each other because he liked one of my friends and he came to me to get advice on how to win her heart. I was crushed! Anyway, it finally worked around to where we were alone in my dorm room, and Cat Stevens was playing on the stereo, and...

He's still shy, even geekier than when I met him, but on most days he's still pretty cute.

Thanks for asking!

quoll: is it true that in australia almost everyone has a pool and it's not really considered a status symbol? and do you get tired of getting asked questions about australia (we americans are really fascinated by that place)?

Definitely not true.
It probably is considered a status symbol, at least those with inground pools would think so.

Nah, I actually find it interesting to see how we are viewed elsewhere in the world, and lets face it you can't exactly rely on the media to give a true and honest view.
BTW, did Potsy ever finish highschool?

 

[bobsgirl]

bobsgirl: what is the best decision you ever made in life?

There are a few, I guess.

Having my children, although both times it was not a conscious deliberate decision. (Can you say oops?)

Having the surgery that solved a very serious medical problem.

Coming out of hiding at Lit. I lurked for a long time before I had the courage to post. I've met some really really fine people here.

But honestly the best smartest decision I ever made? To be honest, I'm just not ready to say it in public. Sorry, I know that sounds mysterious and melodramatic. Someday.

EJ, you've seen Elton John 5 times? I am jealous. I think one of the highlights of my life is seeing Paul McCartney in concert a few years ago. Makes me smile to think about it. I'm going to be his love slave.

 

[silverwhisper]

bobsgirl: all manner of things make me laugh. monty python, douglas adams, most anything that quoll has photoshopped...i'm an easy laugh. :> o, and of course, bi's unloved breast, cuz sometimes i'm just mean like that.

EJ: i could tell you, but then i'd have to kill you.

eilan: oddly enough, i've rather been picturing you as resembling amanda bearse, formerly of married with children. odder still, a month or 2 ago, i met someone from another forum who actually does resemble andie macdowell. which is kinda unfortunate, cuz i think andie macdowell's quite pretty. :>

bobsgirl: I like to have fun and have a good time. I learned long ago (the hard way) to keep the "good time" part within reason.

It's fairly easy to get a laugh out of me; I often don't take things as seriously as I probably should (this sometimes gets my wife pissed off too).

When people poke fun at me (which I usually don't mind) they better be prepared to get poked back at. I usually don't poke fun at someone that hasn't done it to me first, but then some people are just begging to be the brunt of a joke so I can't resist.

I can't say I'm a huge Monty Python fan, some of it I just don't get, but the Three Stooges make me roar. I loved the Bob Newhart shows, the way the joke was on him. I like when funny things happen to unsuspecting people. I think it's hilarious when people don't know the answer to an extremely simple question, but feel they need to provide an answer and end up looking like more of an idiot than if they had just said "I don't know".

I have a friend that he and I have pulled many practical jokes on each other, some which have probably been borderline dangerous and/or illegal. I haven't done one for several years because I haven't been able to think of one that tops the last one I did. At Christmas time a few years ago, I sent him a package. It contained 3 sanitary napkins onto which I had squirted various amounts and combinations of mustard, ketsup, mayo, and relish. after letting this stuff dry, I attached tags with the names of 3 previous girlfiends. (he was known as sort of a womanizer before he got married....well after he got married too). His wife thought it was funnier than he did.

That is just sick man, really sick, I love it.

Does that mean you are one of those guys that just never really grew up? (serious question)

I consider that the pinnacle of my practical jokes to date.

As to your question, in some ways I have grown up, in other ways I probably haven't.

I get serious when it comes to my kids, although my wife is probably more of a disciplinarian than I am. I'm still working on it though.

I partied excessively when I was in my late teens and early twenties (every day was a party in those days). That's one of the things I grew out of long ago.

But I play wiffleball, kickball, and street hockey (on rollerblades, man it hurts at my age when I go down) with the neighborhood kids, still love rope swings over water, and generally try not to take life too seriously (gets me into trouble sometimes though)

I can usually get into talking "boy humor" as bi calls it. I love talking trash about sports too. I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for though.

Yeah that will do nicely.
I know a few guys that have just never grown up, unfortunately they never grew out of the selfish "it's all about me" attitude.
You seem to have found the right mix of responsibilty and fun, more power to you.

 

[Quoll]

Hey Scaly, wtf is wiffleball?
Kickball too ?

Honestly? (And I'll probably get my girl card taken away from me), I love the Three Stooges. Absolutely nothing can make me laugh like the Three Stooges, but only the ones with Curly. My favorite one is the one where these two refined guys have a bet on whether the stooges can be turned into gentlemen. OMG, I laugh til I cry.
