8. My answers:
1) Which is your favorite part of the turkey, white meat or dark meat?

I love the dark meat, and smothered in gravy. The white meat is pretty good for sandwiches the next day though.

2) Have you ever had something other than the traditional turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving?

Yes. One year we had a big pot of the secret family spaghetti sauce, and had spaghetti, lasagna, and a bunch of other Italian dishes. It was great!

3) Do you have any living ancestors that originally immigrated here from Europe or other countries?

Not any living anymore. But both my maternal and paternal grandparents were immigrants that met and married in America. Unfortunately, the only one I ever met was my maternal grandfather. This kind of history just fascinates me. And I wonder how many people in this country realize they are but a couple generations away from living in Europe right now.

4) What is your favorite vegetable?

I like most veggies, but prefer frozen and fresh over canned. My favorites are mixed broccoli and cauliflower, or Brussel sprouts, and buried in butter!

5) Do you smoke cigarettes?

Yeah.

6) Do you like shopping? If so, or if not, do you take a list or prefer to cruise the isles? Including grocery shopping.

I absolutely hate shopping. I stock up on everything I need by the month, including smokes, groceries, personal items, whatever. I take a list, get what I want, and do not cruise the isles.

7) Pepsi or Coke beverages? Or other?

Diet Pepsi

8) Have you purchased new calendars for 2009 yet?

I never have to buy any! I get so many from retired relatives I can't use them all! The Union Pacific ones are my favorite.

9) Do you have more than one person with a PC in your house?

Yes. My mother decided at age 75 that she wanted her own PC and to learn how to cruise the net. So we got her set up with a wireless router and her own PC. I knew it would be a headache, and I had to start by teaching her how to double-click, right-click, select, send and retrieve email, etc. My siblings threatened to disown me forever or hire a hit on me for setting mom up with email, LOL!

10) Do you ever get an awful itch on your back that you can't reach to scratch?

Yes, especially when the weather gets cold and dry. But I have a secret weapon for that - a long armed back scratcher.

33. turkey, schmurkey

1) Which is your favorite part of the turkey, white meat or dark meat?
I don't eat turkey

2) Have you ever had something other than the traditional turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving?
always. No one in my family really likes turkey, but when I'm home, we have loads of other things - maybe pot roast or fried chicken for the meat, and loads and loads of sides. There is often a soufle or a quish as well.

3) Do you have any living ancestors that originally immigrated here from Europe or other countries?
no, but apart from my parents, I don't have living ancestors.

4) What is your favorite vegetable?
that's a tough one... it changes... zucchini maybe.

5) Do you smoke cigarettes?
all the time, pal

6) Do you like shopping? If so, or if not, do you take a list or prefer to cruise the isles? Including grocery shopping.
I hate it. Some times I take a list, some times I don't. The list is usually for when there's something odd that I'm afraid I'll forget, or for when I know that I won't have other times to go shopping later in the week.

7) Pepsi or Coke beverages? Or other?
Neither - beer.

8) Have you purchased new calendars for 2009 yet?
I don't buy calendars.

9) Do you have more than one person with a PC in your house?
nope - I'm the only person who lives in my house.

10) Do you ever get an awful itch on your back that you can't reach to scratch?
sometimes

38. Hi, Lil Missy!
:hi:

1. White meat.
2. Every once in a while, we'll have honey-glazed ham. Yum! :9
3. No.
4. Steamed broccoli.
5. I don't smoke anything. Why would I want to pay a billion-dollar multi-national corporation for the privilege of poisoning me to death?
6. No. Except at bookstores...
7. I'm a Coke guy. I don't drink it anymore, because I try to stay away from high-fructose corn syrup. If they started making it here in the States with cane sugar again, I might start drinking it again.
8. No. But I got the 2009 Princess Bride calendar for my birthday. "Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya..." B-)
9. I have three people in my household, 1 PC and 1 MacBook.
10. Naw, my arms are pretty limber. :D

Response to Original message
40. fun stuff. Thanks for the diversion. : )
1) Which is your favorite part of the turkey, white meat or dark meat?
- - - It used to be white until my taste buds and culinary skills matured. I find the dark meat (unless it's massacred) much more interesting and flavorful. I don't dislike white meat, but it's not as much fun or pleasantly complex.

2) Have you ever had something other than the traditional turkey and all the trimmings on Thanksgiving?
- - - nope. But traditional in my family is anything but... so my answer is subjective and may not be entirely accurate.

3) Do you have any living ancestors that originally immigrated here from Europe or other countries?
- - - not anymore, and those that didn't emigrate were here already. On July 4th, I wave a flag and do a rain dance, utterly confused... : )

4) What is your favorite vegetable?
- - - arugula, potatoes, lettuce, peas (in that order).

5) Do you smoke cigarettes?
- - - nope. Smoked a pack a day when I was 19, realized it was stupid and stopped. Smoked clove cigarettes occasionally when in art school, but they gave me a headache and I realized they were dumb, too.

6) Do you like shopping?
- - - No. I never cruise, and I only do it alone because I go fast and stay focused. Shopping for me is like going to the dentist. A necessary evil. Unless there are art supplies involved. That's a different story.

If so, or if not, do you take a list or prefer to cruise the isles? Including grocery shopping.
- - - I am methodical, but try to avoid the task as much as possible. I never go without a clear, specific objective and when I did do family grocery shopping, I took a list that was organized by aisle, ending with frozen goods, always.

7) Pepsi or Coke beverages? Or other?
- - - sweet water. Don't like bubbles and know how to get rid of them fast without spewing foam everywhere. I doubt I'm unique in this.

8) Have you purchased new calendars for 2009 yet?
- - - why purchase calendars if I have the internet? Timeanddate.com, anyone?

9) Do you have more than one person with a PC in your house?
- - - always. Usually there's a Mac involved, too. I'm not a PC vs. Mac zealot. I'm a technology zealot. I love (but hardly understand) computers. Any good Mac, PC, peripheral, utility, software or program is a think of beauty.

10) Do you ever get an awful itch on your back that you can't reach to scratch?
- - - if I did, that would mean that I had serious problem-solving deficiencies... so, no. Unless I were paralyzed, it is not possible for me to not figure out a way to deal with an itch on any part of my back. Bears seem to have mastered this, so I try to stay at least as sharp as an itchy grizzly on a bad day. : )
