All My Children Discussion Group
I'm thinking the Wednesday Daily was the WORD GOLF game, which is a blast! Sometimes I can't seem to keep up! But I'm reading my weekly SOD and I flipped to the back page, which is a Q&A with some random soap actor. Usually the questions are relatively lame, but this week I liked 'em. And wanted to ask YOU the same things!
WHAT TALENT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE BORN WITH?
WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY?
WHICH PUBLIC FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH FOR ONE DAY?
WHAT CD DO YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO?
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET?
My answers:
Playing the piano. My brother does it for a living. I tried (lessons for years!) and was never very good.
Singing as a profession. I'm definitely an amateur singer. I've sat in with a band from time to time, but haven't done it in years. My dream has always been to be a torch singer in a piano bar. I could sing jazz ballads all night.
Trade places with a public figure? That would be frightening! It certainly wouldn't be a politician 'cause Lord knows I couldn't handle that responsibility (not that W. can either, but I digress). I'm going to say Britney Spears. Sounds silly, I know, but I'd like to be a better parent to her children.
I have Sirius satellite radio in my car, so I don't listen to CDs very often anymore. I probably know all the words to my Ella Sings Cole Porter CD.
I try not to go down the actual aisles of the supermarket unless there's something specific I'm looking for. The best stuff is around the circumfrence - meat, seafood, produce, dairy, bakery. It's all around the outside. It's when I go up and down the aisles of stuff that I wind up with five half-gallons of ice cream.
WHAT TALENT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE BORN WITH?
The natural ability to speak a different language.
WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY?
Surf the waves.
WHICH PUBLIC FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH FOR ONE DAY?
None of them.
WHAT CD DO YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO?
Guns and Roses...Appetite for Destruction is one of many.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET?
The last one!

WHAT TALENT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE BORN WITH?
WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY? I want to go to New Zealand but the long plane ride deters me.
WHICH PUBLIC FIGURE WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRADE PLACES WITH FOR ONE DAY? Regis Philbin LOL I don't know, never think about being someone else.
WHAT CD DO YOU KNOW ALL THE WORDS TO? all my Todd Rundgren cds from the 70's, they are 'ingrained in my brain'.... later ones believe it or not, I forget from year to year. In fact Sat. we went to see the Wallflowers and I realized I had already forgotten words to their 2005 album... slipping... stuff from my teenage early 20's somehow stays w/ me.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET? hmmmm tough call... I like them all. I can't buy everything, but sure is fun to fantasize buying loads of everything, especially if calories are no issue... cheese, snacks, ice cream, bakery dept, meat, veggies... see what I mean! there's good stuff in every aisle!

WHAT TALENT DO YOU WISH YOU WERE BORN WITH?
It may not be considered a talent, but I wish I was a better housekeeper. The worst part is, I don't really care, as long as the toilets and kitchen are clean.
WHAT HAVE YOU ALWAYS WANTED TO DO, BUT WERE AFRAID TO TRY?
Scuba dive, it must be beautiful, but being down under several feet in the ocean seems scary to me.

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE AISLE AT THE SUPERMARKET?
The aisle where the wine is sold. LOL, I'm a bit of a wino! I'm also a beauty product addict, so I like that aisle as well. Wine and Oil of Olay, what's not to love!
Thanks for the fun!
