Appetizer ~
What inanimate object would you use as a telephone if you were Maxwell Smart?

If I were 86, I'd have been issued a shoe phone with rotary dial (not sure why he didn't hobble around more with all tha weight in one shoe!) :-) If I were given a choice, and with new technology taken into account, I'd have them build my phone service into 99's breasts! ... Oh, sorry, you specifically said inanimate object - ok, I'll stick with the shoe then... :-(  

Soup ~
If you could live inside any book as a character in the story which book would it be?

I'd be the lead character in a romance novel where Zooey Deschanel is my supporting love interest character ;-) 

Salad ~
What three things are you thankful for today?

1) God delivering me from unemployment very soon (still unofficially)
2) Supportive family and friends
3) The potential to rekindle my relationship with Laura (she lives only 1.5 hours due east of my new job and has been texting me asking how it's going...)

Entrée ~
Grilled or Fried?

Firstly, It's humorous to me that this is the "Entrée ~" question :-)
Is my doctor looking?... No?... Then fried! lol

Dessert ~
Do you remember your dreams or tend to forget them upon waking?

I don't usually remember my dreams - just a couple of strange ones from when I was young...

Digestif ~
Do you prefer even or odd numbers? Any particular reason?

Even. Because:
1) It's part of my OCD - (ala Monk :-)
2) I get the child tax deduction on the even numbered years.
3) They generally are easier to use in mathematical problems (divide evenly, etc.).
4) I don't have a 4, other than now the list is even (unlike my list above which I was forced to stick with 3 by the rules ;-)

hmmm in this day and age it would have to be something like a watch since pretty much every thing could be a phone - your computer your ipad, Now if I was Agent 99 it would be a lipstick!

Soup ~
If you could live inside any book as a character in the story which book would it be? hmmm probably the Outlander series by Diana Gabaldon - be Clare - so I could have hot sex with Jamie WHO is hot enough to play him in any mjovie version?

Salad ~
What three things are you thankful for today?
good health the daughter's bf taking off west very soon
friends and family who are supportive
Entrée ~
Grilled or Fried?
really depends on the mood ... but usually grilled.

Dessert ~

haven't remembered a dream for some time now. they're vague

Digestif ~

even for something - all tidy and nothing left over. but there is some symmetry in 3s - not 5s or 7s just 3s.

WoW! I didn't expect to see players so early in the morning. Okay, early for those of us on this side of the world. Did ya have fun with this one?

HA, Eric! I put grilled or fried as the Entrée because I thought it was funny so it is good that you found it humorous.

T,
I was never able to get into Diana Gabaldon but hot sex is a recurring theme in her books, is it not?

I can't play yet. I haven't finished my coffee.

love, hugs and happy tgif,

a water bottle. They are ubiquitous and you often see people holding them to their face to cool down.

Soup ~

Flinx from Alan Dean Foster's long running series of sci-fi adventure novels. Probably because I have been listening to them on my commute recently but also because how cool would it be to have a flying mini dragon as a pet that would spit corrosive poison in the face of those that endangered you?

Salad ~

A. My Funny Little Honey
2. the boy's returning good health
on the other hand: my pack (one of them killed a mouse last night - outside the house)


Entrée ~
Grilled or Fried?


both :-) grilled usually

Dessert ~
Do you remember your dreams or tend to forget them upon waking?


more often than not I forget them or all but the general gist of them shortly after awakening. Most times I am okay with that.

Digestif ~

odd. Unless I am eating M&M's then I eat them "evenly" regardless of whether there are and even or odd number of them.

It was fun - though I was laying in bed and did it with my iPhone - the first answer got cut off - it had to do with 99 and was rude anyways (what can I say, I'm a guy and it's the first thing I think of in the AM!) ;-) Perhaps Wozniak put a filter on my iPhone when he banned Flash from it ;-) (p.s., as inconvenient as that is I do support his reasons)

These days I think Maxwell Smart would have an iPhone. That is what I would use anyways. tee hee!

As a child I daydreamed about living inside Rumer Godden's Miss Happiness and Miss Flower. I would still love to do so today.

1. The kid seems to be recovering nicely. I doubt that he actually does have mono since he began to rebound about 15 days after he got sick. That sounds more like a virus than anything bacterial. Regardless, Praise the Lord he is well.
B. My darlin geeky Rudy.
iii. My daughter having a job that she loves.
*. that my weather is so nice and nowhere near the temperature it is in the old town! {yeah yeah. I chose 4. You could have too, yanno. heh!}


Entrée ~
Grilled or Fried?
grilled - especially now that it is prime grilling weather and almost every night I can smell someone grilling dinner in the neighborhood.

Dessert ~

I rarely remember my dreams. I consider that a good thing.

Digestif ~

Even. No particular reason other than 16 is an even number.

The gabaldon books take a little patience to get into - but once in... they are pretty good. But I had a hard time with the last one. I skimmed through it because I found it too long and boring. The problem with popular writers, JK Rowling, Gabaldon and a few others, they seem to have egos and their editors aren't allowed to be ruthless. NOT a good trait in a writer.
yeah... I was at home today dealing with the hot water tank problem.
