6. Hi, porcelain_doll! It's hard to pick between mountains and beach
isn't it? I love them both so much...but the trees and streams and snow and wildflowers...it just takes the cake for me :-)

9. Hi, bicentennial_baby! Oooh, I do love BK too...I don't do it often
either, but if I run errands on my lunch hour, there's a BK right by the Cub food store, so every once in a blue moon I'll grab a Jr. Whopper (pickles, cheese, ketchup, onion) and fries and be perfectly happy *sigh*

10. Hi Andrea! I love the name Emily

11. Me!
Edited on Mon Jun-02-08 11:56 PM by Chan790
1.) Cats. Or other. Not dogs. I was mauled as an infant and even the smallest toy poodle or chihuahua can send me into a panic attack to this day. Strangely the exception to this is really-huge dogs like wolf-hounds and malamutes...and collies. I have 3 cats and I'd like a goat.

2.) Well...I live in the mountains. I used to hate the beach but now that I'm getting skinnier, I kind of want to show off the sexy. Also I just spent $50 on a pair of swim trunks...and I surf rarely.

3.) Who cares. They're a diet staple for me. I probably eat close to 20 lbs. a month during the summer.

4.) Probably not more than it's body weight.

5.) D'Angelo's...the Greek salad or Greek-salad wrap are to die for. Sparingly though...they're diet killers at almost 1000 calories each. Moe's burritos are right up there...also a diet killer. I work for the big bad coffee siren so they have to get a metion even if the only thing I eat or drink at work is fruit, water, and americanos.

15. Hi Chan790! Oooohhh, burritos...I love Mexican food
I don't go there often, it's kinda spendy, but there is a really good Mexican restaurant in town that's run by a family that's been here about 30 years I think, and have stayed VERY authentic - I love their
"superpapas" - baked spuds with a choice of about 20 toppings, they're awesome. They use very different cheeses from what I'd been used to -

Thanks for playing! :hi:

Response to Original message
16. Well...
1) Cats, dogs, both or neither (any pets)? Two new cats, Bud and Kelly.

2) Mountains or beach? Mountains. I hate the beach. I hate sand, I'm not much of a fan of direct sunlight, and I loathe the smell of Coppertone.

3) Tomatoes: fruit, veggie, or just plain nasty? In raw form, just plain nasty. Used for sauce, however...

4) How much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were so inclined? Hopefully, enough to make me a few new hockey sticks and softball bats.

5) Favorite fast food? Wendy's chili.

17. Hi Zavulon! I'm right with you on the tomatoes; can't stand them
raw, but in spaghetti sauce, or salsa, that kind of thing, fine. Just no recognizable chunks *lol*
Thanks for playing! :hi:

20. Answers
1) Cats, dogs, both or neither (any pets)?

2 dogs - Rascal and Puddin' - Brother and sister that I adopted from a litter in my neighborhood. I felt sorry for the stray mother and fed her across the street from my house. I eventually found an 8 inch ball of fur on my doorstep. That was Rascal. Puddin' strayed into my yard a little later and I grabbed her too.

2) Mountains or beach?

I live in the Ozarks.

3) Tomatoes: fruit, veggie, or just plain nasty?

Food of the gods! Fruit by the standard definition.

4) How much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were so inclined?

About twice half the total volume.

5) Favorite fast food?

I like almost ALL fast food. YUM! Lately, I've been favoring Wendy's chili.

21. Okay!
1) Cats, dogs, both or neither (any pets)? 2 Cats, Rio and Layla

2 cats, 1 dog. I used to have 3 cats, but my ex took one. *sniff*

2) Mountains or beach? Mmmmm...mountains. Yikes, I love the beach...but...mountains.

I think I'd prefer the beach.

3) Tomatoes: fruit, veggie, or just plain nasty? I hate tomatoes. Ish.

I LOVE tomatoes! I even grow my own. They are delicious whole with a little salt, or great for BLTs.


4) How much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were so inclined?

Beats the hell outta me.

5) Favorite fast food? Diablo cheese chilitos from a place called Zans in town. Really spicy I love self-combusting food! And I do love Subway. Those yummy cookies!!!

Funny you should mention Subway. I am totally addicted to the steak and cheese on Italian bread, with all the trimmings. I took my mom there tonight, but the line was all the way outside. So we went elsewhere instead.

Taco's and pizza are also among my favorites.

3. Tomatos: yummmmm :9

24. Fun stuff - so here are some answers:
1) Cats, dogs, both or neither (any pets)?
Right now, 7 cats. Maybe a dog someday, but definitely on the pet attrition plan; I love my babies dearly, but I'll feed any creature who needs food, and I sort of need to be saved from myself so I don't turn into a 20+ cat cat-lady or a dog-herder. Both, I guess. No real favorite.

2) Mountains or beach?
Raised at the beach in southern California; the sunset on the Pacific makes me cry I miss it so much. But I live in the Smokies now, and they're lovely, too. Desert mountains - beautiful. I think I yearn for the beach, though, especially when I'm stressed or sad.

3) Tomatoes: fruit, veggie, or just plain nasty?
Don't care what they are, I love 'em. Especially if they've been baked with some oregano & salt. I categorize them as fruit, though.

4) How much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were so inclined?
I have no freaking clue. :D

5) Favorite fast food?
Probably french fries, or a good, huge slice of cheese pizza from a REAL NYC pizza place. Fold it in half, and it's heaven. Too bad I don't live in NYC anymore!

25. I'll take a shot
1) One cat. She's currently sitting on my shins and grooming herself

2) Mountains. Much prettier. Not so hot. And in 30 years it will be oceanfront property!

3) Tomato-products, good. Raw tomato, bad

4) 5.2 board-feet per day

5) Jeez, toughie. Um... Culvers, I guess, even though they're a bit pricy.

29. Here's mine
1) Cats, dogs, both or neither (any pets)? Had a cat, but she passed about 1-1/2 years ago. Decided to go pet free for a while.

2) Mountains or beach? Both - sorry, please don't make me choose!

3) Tomatoes: fruit, veggie, or just plain nasty? Although scientifically speaking tomatoes are fruit, I treat it as a veggie - one of my favorite!

4) How much wood WOULD a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck were so inclined? I'm hoping a LOT!

5) Favorite fast food? :puke: To fast food!

31. Answers
1 - Neither, and not inclined to get one either.

2 - City or rolling hills - mountains are too steep to walk around easily and beaches are just boring in and of themselves.

3 - Fruit, use them extensively as cooking ingredient and for eating raw.

4 - As much as it could get its grubby hands on.

5 - Contradiction in terms.

33. .
1) no pets at the moment, but we did have a Rottie, Darwin, who was our first baby, our heart and soul who died six years ago of Addison's disease. I still dream of him and we still have his picture up in our home.

2)I live 4 miles from the beach and I love it, but I am married to a climber and I love to hike and really do love the mountains.

3)I think it's a veggie and I like them from the garden. I like the grape ones too. My mom hates them and my husband is not crazy about them.

4)Umm, no idea :shrug: , but we had one find out garden once and they sure do eat a lot of veggies.

5)Frito Pie at Sonic! Sadly we do not have Sonic in Maine. I spent part of my childhood in the Texas where there were plenty of Sonics - yum yum!
