Five Random Questions for a Saturday afternoon:

[grannylib]

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?
2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?
3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?
4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?
5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?


I'd not buy anything new; I'd have my mom's ring repaired. I lost a diamond out of it, so I need to buy a new one and have all the points on the ring re-done so I don't lose any more :-(

I'd love to visit Thailand

I usually picked Jane as a name when I was a kid - short and plain. I didn't like my name.

Canoe, no question. Preferably in the Boundary Waters in northern Minnesota.

Singing. I can sort of carry a tune, given a large enough bucket, but don't have a great voice at all.

How about you all???

[Aristus]

1. My five:

1. I'd love to buy a huge diamond pendant necklace for my wife.
2. I'd love to visit Argentina in South America, and Egypt in Africa.
3. Steve Austin, the $6 Million-Dollar Man. B-)
4. Speedboat. Not very green, I know, but this is just fantasy.
5. I wish I had carpentry skills. I don't know why, but sometimes I wish I had wood-working talent so I could make my own furniture, repair the fence around my backyard, make toys for little kids, and so much more.

[grannylib]

12. Woodworking is a lot of fun...I'm pretty much of a novice, but Hubby

is quite good.
I've seen a lot of similarity between planning/executing a woodworking project and a sewing project - it's kinda weird, but it's cool - that's one thing I CAN do, is sew! :-)

[Aristus]

43. My wife knits.

She's a fanatic...

[grannylib]

51. Now that's something I never did get the hang of. I can crochet like a

bandit, but knitting just eludes me.
My youngest is pretty good at it, but I'm hopeless!

[TZ]

2. Here are mine

1) I love sapphires, so probably a beautiful sapphire pendant
2)Australia
3) usually something like Katrina (Katt for short)
4) Have done both, prefer speedboat (or at least power boat)
5) Painting. My grandfather painted some really nice pictures and I have no smidgeon of that talent.

[grannylib]

11. Painting/drawing would be second on my list after singing...

My daughter is very artistic, and I can make things recognizable, but that's about it.

[flvegan]

3. Okay...

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

Diamonds are a no no to me, so I'll be selfish on this one. Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. Middle of the road expensive.

2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

England. I have family there.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?

Shazam.

4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?

Speedboat. 49' Nortech Supercat (still pretending money is no object)

5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?

Perfect throwing arm. That ability would get me an MLB contract where I could then afford #1, 2 and 4.

[grannylib]

10. I used to live in Nottingham (little village just north of there, actually)

Where do you have family?

[flvegan]

19. Aunts, uncles and cousins

in the Leeds and Manchester areas. At least as of a couple years ago.

I really need to write them.

[grannylib]

28. I'm horrible at writing - and I've lost touch with the few friends to whom

I did used to write after we moved back to the States...been trying to find folks over the 'net, but no luck yet.
Hope you get a chance to go back to visit!
:hi:

[AggieGal]

4. Here's mine

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?
My husband gave it to me for our 11 yr anniversary. It is a three diamond ring. Not gaudy big or tiny tiny, it is just right.

2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?
Fiji. I will only go when I look good in a swimsuit. Otherwise what's the point.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?
Suzy Q. I really wanted my name changed to that. Now I am glad that I have my given name.

4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?
Speedboat. I love to travel fast.

5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?
Determination in the face of adversity. Basically sticking with something even though life throws things at me to get me off track.

[grannylib]

9. I bet a trip to Fiji would be fabulous - why didn't I think of that?

Hope you get the chance to go sometime! :-)

[AggieGal]

20. I do too

I want to stay in one of these huts over the water.

[grannylib]

23. Oh how lovely - I can see why you'd want to stay there! That's beautiful.

[skygazer]

5. My answers

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

I'm not real big on extravagant jewelry - however, a nice antique ladies pocket watch (which would probably be a brooch type watch that I would have converted) would be nice.

2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

So many countries, so little time. If I just had one, I think I'd pick Italy and look for long-lost relatives.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?

Kate. It's still the name I give for my order at Jamba Juice. :P

4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?

Neither. Water and I don't mix.

5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?

I'd love to be able to sing...

[grannylib]

6. Thanks for playing! I have a pocket watch, not a vintage one, but

one Hubby gave me for Christmas; I have a nickel allergy and can't wear a wristwatch. I love it. Hope you find your antique sometime! :-)

[lost-in-nj]

7. here is mine

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

I think it would be a set of diamond bangles I saw in a magazine....


2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

Egypt



3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?

I guess Penny
when we played lost-in-space

speedboat
5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?

I wish I could sing



lost


:hi:

[grannylib]

14. Hope you get a chance to visit Egypt someday...I think that would

be a fascinating trip! One of my pastors visited Cairo and other places in Egypt when she went to north Africa, and she loved it. :-)

[Burma Jones]

8. OK......

1. I would buy the Hope Diamond for Dick Cheney - it's cursed you know.....

2. Italy, I'm really hungry right now......

3. It was usually Sergeant or General or Doctor or Batman or something like that

4. Speedboat baby........vaROOM

5. I do not dance well, I've had balance issues since childhood

[grannylib]

15. *lol* I LOVE your answer to #1!! Thanks for playing!

:hi:

[JanMichael]

13. Mine. Boring.

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

Not a thing. I don't were jewelry and Stephanie likes inexpensive folksy stuff.

2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

Norway.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?

I don't recall.

4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?

Kayak.

5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?

More flexible hips and legs for kicking.

[grannylib]

17. Maybe you can go kayaking IN Norway sometime! I've been to

Norway and loved it so much - but for some reason the thought of a kayak scares me; probably the fear of getting stuck upside down or something.
:hi:

[MorningGlow]

16. Okay

1. I don't know. I like jewelry, but I like inexpensive, funky items, usually with beads. And nobody I know wears expensive jewelry either. I might buy Mr. MG a new watch.

2. Great Britain. I've been there twice, but only to England. I want to see Ireland, Scotland, and Wales--plus more of England.

3. Lisa. My name is old-fashioned, and at the time Lisa was current and popular, and I wished I had a popular name like that.

4. Canoe, no question. I don't like ripping up nature; I like slipping into it instead.

5. I'd like to be able to play the piano. We could never afford one when I was little, so I never did take lessons because I had noplace to practice. I learned to play the guitar instead.

[grannylib]

24. Canoes are great. We need to get another; someone stole ours

last winter, probably some four-wheelers or snowmobilers going down the river when it was frozen - we found the cut cable that had attached it to a tree when the snow melted last year. Or maybe poachers - we've had "hunters" on our land without permission before. *sigh* Pissed me off.

[Inchworm]

18. Five answers

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

I'd like a replacement gold rope chain and mariner's cross from one that got yoinked off my neck in backwater South Carolina one night. It was lucky :D

2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

Europe- Ireland, UK, Scotland.. well, the whole dang place

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?
Clint Eastwood

4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?

Canoe

5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?

The ability to enjoy reading a non-technical book. You know, like to read "The Hobbit" or something without getting bored outta my skull by chapter 2.

:hi:

[grannylib]

25. Your #5 intrigues me - I cannot IMAGINE not reading for fun -

it's like a lifeline for me; always has been. I read pretty early (3) and have never quit. I get almost uncomfortable if there's nothing new to read around the house. I'm a library junkie. And magazine and newspaper junkie.

[Inchworm]

55. It's funny because...

I read early too. I do read a lot, just not novels and the sort. I also collect books and could live in a library. lol

I hope to one day go back to school and get a Master's in Library and Information Science. One day :)

:hi:

[applegrove]

21. I'd by some artisan silver jewelry for myself. Italy or Southern Africa. Samantha. Canoe. I wish

I could sing.

[grannylib]

26. I've always been more of a silver girl than a gold - although I do

like them mixed, or yellow and white gold mixed...
Thanks for playing!
:hi:

[rockymountaindem]

22. Well...

1) This one is tough. I'm not really one for jewelry, so I can't say what I'd buy or who I'd give it to.
2) I've been doing some research on Kyrgyzstan for a term paper, so maybe I'd go there to check it out. I hear the landscape is really stunning.
3) I like my name, so I just used it in all my imaginary games.
4) Probably a speedboat. Nothing against canoes, but you can explore farther and faster with an outboard.
5) I'm gonna say time travel, since this is all a flight of fancy. I'd love to grab a history book and go talk some sense into a few historical personages, paradoxes be damned.

[grannylib]

27. Now there's a great #5 answer! Which historical personages in

particular, and what would you tell them??

[rockymountaindem]

35. Again with the historical research...

Lately I've been working on the Munich Crisis of 1938, so... I'd probably tell Czechoslovakian President Eduard Benes not to believe anything the other powers were telling him. I would like to sit in on the cabinet deliberations of September 21st and explain the following:

Germany is not going to stop with the Sudetenland. Cave now, and they'll just swallow up the rest of your country within five months. So, you might as well threaten war with Germany, because you've got nothing to lose. Maybe France and the USSR will actually honor their commitments to your country, maybe not. Even if they don't, Germany might back down out of fear or you could prompt a coup against Hitler from among some German staff officers who didn't want to spark a European war. The worst thing that could happen is that your country will become Germany's doormat, which is going to happen anyway even if you cave to the Munich Diktat. Therefore, slug it out with Hitler. At least you'll save your dignity instead of going down as one of the most spineless worms of the 20th Century (I'm looking at you, Benes).

Then I'd teleport over to Britain and try to persuade them that Germany's armed forces were actually less powerful than everybody thought and that Britain and France could actually deal Germany quite a blow while Hitler's forces would be tied down for at least two weeks in Bohemia. See, contrary to popular conception, Chamberlain's appeasement policy was not grounded in base cowardice, but rather in a firm conviction that Germany's military might actually surpassed that of Britain (among other things), therefore making war a losing proposition for London any way they sliced it. In 1938, when Chamberlain avoided war, Britain and France combined were actually more powerful than Germany. By 1939, when war actually broke out, Hitler had made good use of that time by aligning with the USSR and continuing his rearmament program, to the point where the Reich actually outweighed the western powers. Therefore, I'd tell Chamberlain that war's inevitable, you might as well start it now when you could actually kick ass and get it overwith sooner.

Yes, that's esoteric, but it's been on my mind a lot lately due to my schoolwork.

[grannylib]

39. Thanks for the answer! Interesting reading; I like history, but I am

surely not as knowledgeable as you are! :-)

[rockymountaindem]

41. Just some of the stuff that piles up when you're a history major

Although this is for a course in international relations, which takes a different approach to the topic.

[Lavender Brown]

29. my answers

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?
An emerald ring or bracelet. I really like pink sapphires too.
2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?
England
3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?
Victoria... I don't know why!
4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?
Canoe... it just seems more peaceful.
5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?
I wish I were a better dancer. I'll dance, but I feel really uncomfortable and dorky.

[grannylib]

32. England is one of my favorite places anywhere; I haven't traveled

REAL extensively, but I've been a few places and England is number one on my list. There have been some commercials (one for some airline or another, as I recall) and there were some shots of the British countryside from the air, pretty low, and I swear I'd get choked up watching the damn COMMERCIAL just because I miss that scenery so much...

[Raven]

30. Here's mine:

1. Nothing, I don't care about jewelry

2. Europe

3. I didn't, but my name is Jane BTW and I', glad you like it!

4. Canoe, definately

5. Playing a musical instrument

[grannylib]

33. *lol* I always related SO much to Gilda Radner's "Judy Miller"

Show - I used to do the same thing, but it was a radio show with "Jane and George" with George being George Harrison...he was my favorite Beatle at that time :-)

[LeftyMom]

31. Let's see.

1. Whatever the watch the fella said he wanted upthread was. I don't bother with that sort of thing.
2. I'd really like to go to Australia. That'd be really cool.
3. I never could make up names.
4. Canoe. I hate loud noise.
5. Apparently, playing the guitar. I keep plugging away at it, though.

[grannylib]

34. The quiet of the canoe is one of the things I love most about it

When you're in a wilderness area, you see SO much wildlife because you can be so unobtrusive - it's the best :-)
Thanks for playing! And keep practicing that guitar! My husband didn't get a guitar until his early 20s, although he had always wanted to play...and it was a few years before he got REALLY good, but he's REALLY good, and he did it by playing damn near endlessly...he was driven *lol*

[datasuspect]

36. answers

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

jewelry is wasteful, accomplishes nothing, and is money that could be put to better use.


2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

vietnam

Laszlo Colfax

[grannylib]

45. I'd love to visit Viet Nam just for the food; my brother and brother-in-law

have both been there; one Air Force and one Army and although the war part sucked, the country, they said, was beautiful and they'd like to go back.

[Zavulon]

37. Mine

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

I wouldn't. My watch cost maybe $80, and it's more than enough. Nobody in my family much cares for jewelry, and getting such an expensive piece of jewelry for my girlfriend would DEFINITELY send the wrong signal.

2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?

China, preferably during this year's Games.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?

The Joker.

The ability to draw. I couldn't make a circle with a compass.

[grannylib]

46. I've always envied those who could draw well...I'm not so hot.

Thanks for playing!

[laylah]

38. Awwwwwww Granny...

what a great question.

My answers would be:

1. It is SO not extravagant but I would have the person that stole my GGGrandmother's ring from my house, return it.
2. Whatever continent Greece currently occupies...
3. My own a real person.
4. Absolutely canoe!
5. Singing...cannot carry a tune in a bucket with a lid on it; however, I try, frequently!

[grannylib]

47. I hope your Grandmother's ring is returned too... that's the worst, to

lose something irreplaceable.

[Chan790]

40. I'm strange??

I don't like, wear or want jewelry. I would sell whatever I bought to buy a Tom Ford suit. I like bespoke. Suits are kinda like jewelry.

I'd like to go to India. Goa, maybe.

I don't remember but whatever it was most likely reflects a non-comprehension of normal naming conventions. Truck Rambo and Alien Steve come to memory. I asked my mom and she said I used to pick Julie...a lot. Apparently, I wanted to be a girl. I mean why should they get the cool dresses while I got stuck with itchy wool pants. Suddenly my like of kilts makes more sense.

Canoe. Actually, rowboat. I want manly biceps, triceps and chest dammit.

Grantwriting.

[grannylib]

48. Not strange at all; I know a lot of people, come to think of it, who don't

like jewelry.
I collect the stuff, so I'm kinda obsessed *lol* Vintage rhinestone stuff mostly :hi:

[mac56]

42. 1. A really beautiful diamond for the one I love.

2. Right now: Italy. Tomorrow it'll likely be different.
3. "Rock".
4. Canoe.
5. Dancing.

[grannylib]

49. Italy would be lovely; I'd go just for the Sistine Chapel

Always regretted that it was among the countries we didn't get to visit when we were in Europe.
Thanks for playing! :hi:

[tigereye]

44. an octagonal Roman- era gold ring I saw years ago in a museum catalog

probably it would cost 1000 bucks by now

Australia/ New Zealand

later nickname was Buffy, for some weird reason - can't remember a particular childhood name

canoe

drawing - I can play a lot of instruments, but I am not artistic in the least

[grannylib]

50. Oh, I hear ya on the museum catalogs and the jewelry...

I've seen a couple of pieces that were SO lovely in them, and I nearly wrecked the catalog from drooling *lol*
Thanks for playing! :hi:

53. you are welcome, good questions!

:hi:

[femmocrat]

52. Thanks for the questions! My answers...

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else? I always wanted one of those Movado (sp?) watches... the one with a black face and a diamond at the 12. I think they are so elegant.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child? I don't remember ever doing that.

in Paris years ago, which wasn't NEARLY enough, and spent more time in other areas of the country, which was awesome...would love to go back.

I'm not big into jewelry actually. What I'd really like to get (though it is impossible) are my Nana's rings that were stolen from her drawer at the nursing home the night before she died. My mother was devastated.

[blondie58]

59. what a fun game, grannylib!

Okay-
#1 jewelry is not a big thing for me, but I love tanzanite, specifically, the deepest hue around, almost a purple.

#2 I have two. I was a travel agent in another life, and I used to drool over http://www.buddybombard.com/index.php Buddy Bombards tours in a hot air balloon or in a skiff on Europes waterways. I have seen much of Europe, but to see it from a balloon would be heaven.
If not that, I have always wanted to see Tahiti, Bora Bora and Moorea. I would stay at one of those hotels on stilts with a coffee table that has glass directly into the ocean for viewing the fish. I got my diver's certification a couple of years ago and I've been told that it is one of the best places to dive.

#3 Dawnie

#4 canoe- so that I can encounter wildlife and appreciate the serenity of nature.

#5 to be able to dance well. Let's just say that I have two left feet.

[WinkyDink]

60. A major diamond solitaire---Malta---No name---Speedboat---Singing.

[BeachBaby]

61. Cool thread!

Okay.....

1. Honestly, I can't see myself buying jewelry - nothing extravagant, anyway. My birthstone is aquamarine, so probably a ring with an aquamarine stone.

2. I'm half Polish, half German - would love to go check out my roots. :)

3. Priscilla - I always loved that name!

4. Speedboat - always enjoyed water sports.

5. I would LOVE to be a hairdresser. I wanted to do that when I graduated high school, but my parents talked me out of it.

[Random_Australian]

62. 1) I would buy an extravagent amulet made of enough food and water to feed to hungry.

I would give it to the land, co-incidentally nearby to people without food. And then look in the other direction.

2)Hmmm, can I pick Europa? Not actually a continent (and in fact a moon).

3) I didn't. Oddly enough.

4) A canoe.

5) I have enough. I'm content.

[TZ]

64. Well there you go

Random answers to random questions by Random_Australian....

3. I think I just always used the one I was born with.

4. Sailboat, actually. Sailing the lakes of Minnesota nice and quiet. And eco-friendly!

[Rabrrrrrr]

68. Your second question is wrong.

1. If money were no object, I'd get me something worth 300 billion dollars.

2. I want to see Antarctica, which is a continent, but you limited it to countries, so nyah to you. x(

3. I never picked a name for myself that I can remember, unless I was playing specifically some character, such as GI Joe, or Matt Dillon, or Gilligan.

4. Canoe

5. The ability to not just tolerate, but celebrate and be apologetic for, mediocrity and idiocy. I think I'd get along a lot better in this society.

[Fran Kubelik]

69. fun!

1. I can't even begin to think of something I would want. Maybe something beautiful and sparkly for my mom.

2. I'm going to interpret this as a continent I haven't already visited, and in that case the answer would be Africa. I would love to see Victoria Falls.

3. Wolfie. :rofl:

4. A canoe would get a lot more use around here.

5. I wish I could play drums. And sing. And be skinny.

70. Interesting questions.

1. If cost were no object, what one extravagant piece of jewelry would you buy for yourself or someone else?

Goodness, I've been sitting here for quite awhile considering this one. I seriously do not know. I suppose a "mother's ring." I wouldn't mind having a ring with all of my children's birthstones in it.



2. If you had a chance to visit another continent, which country would you most want to visit?


I have never been to Asia or Australia. I would like to see China or New Zealand. Well, I'd like to see both but you're making me pick so I guess New Zealand. I speak the language.

3. What name did you pick for yourself most often when playing make-believe as a child?

I don't remember. But if I could go back in time to play these childhood games again it would be Eleanor for Eleanor of Aquitaine.


4. Would you rather canoe or have a speedboat?

canoe. Life if fast enough as it is.

5. What's one talent/ability you wish you had, but just don't?

dancing. I wish I could dance. ballroom dance, ballet, jazz, swing, doesn't matter. My body wants to move when it hears music but when it tries...not so much.
