(2) Which TV sitcom do you think had the best cliff hanger/season finale? Dallas 

(3) At home do you normally use a pen or pencil to write? Pen

 

(4) What made you decide to live where you are (location, price was right,..etc..)?  We recently moved and the primary reason was that it simply got too expensive in my condo with the many assessments (the latest one was $20,000) and Maintenance raises the Board approved. Therefore, we picked another place that we are loving and the costs are SO much less.

 

(5) Have you thought of making any New Year's Eve resolutions this year? Yes - one is trying to relax a bit - not being uptight.

 

(6) When you want to check what the weather will be like the next day  where do you go..TV, radio, newspaper..etc...) TV

 

(7) Have you ever rode a horse? Yes

(1) Your are traveling 5 hours from home. Would you rather take a plane, train or car? Since the travel by plane would add an additional 2-3 hours, I would rather drive.  Now, if it were an 10-hour trip the train would be nice.  I have travelled from San Jose, CA to Chicago by train.  3 days.  It was nice since I had a sleeper room.  Excellent food.   

(2) Which TV sitcom do you think had the best cliff hanger/season finale? The Newhart show were he woke up in bed with his wife from his old show.  It had not been leaked and took everyone by surprise.

(3) At home do you normally use a pen or pencil to write? Pencil.  I have to make too many corrections.

(4) What made you decide to live where you are (location, price was right,..etc..)?  My retired parents move here.  So I followed.

(5) Have you thought of making any New Year's Eve resolutions this year? No.

(6) When you want to check what the weather will be like the next day  where do you go..TV, radio, newspaper..etc...) I have a widget on my desktop that I look at all day. It pops up storm warnings.  I tune into the weather channel around dinner time when we are talking about what is happening the next day.

(7) Have you ever rode a horse? I used to own a quarter horse when I lived in CA.  Nice old nag named Jessie.  I used to ride every few days.

(7) Have you ever rode a horse?  Yes and it was on a beach in Ireland.  Connemara coast, Angela.  It was such fun!  My horse was named Mickey and Little Fan got a great pony to ride named Pal.  Memory of a lifetime indeed.

 Great questions!  Thanks for the fun.  I love reading all the answers.

  • krisa225..When you wrote roadtrip in big letters it reminds me of that movie w/ John Belusi (sp)..Animal House. I am not one for roadtrips my hubby is..he loves to just get in the car & go!.../Angela
  • Bob and I love to go places via the car... maybe next time hubby wants to go, try and look at it differently, a little game, and maybe you'll enjoy it more. play car games, license plate games, also, if you are the co-pilot and looking at the map, pointing out silly names of towns and the next big town, you will see how fast the trip goes... - Kris

    Hey guys!!!

    (1) Your are traveling 5 hours from home. Would you rather take a plane, train or car? By car. I've never been on a plane or a train. Eventually, I'd like to take Amtrak down to New Orleans, but most of my traveling plans are on hold for now.

    (2) Which TV sitcom do you think had the best cliff hanger/season finale? Two of my favorites... The season 5 finale of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, in which Buffy dives into the giant vortex to stop the apocolypse ... and at the airing, we knew the show had been picked up by UPN, so it was like... OMG. She died? How are they going to bring her back?

    My other favorite is the Angel series finale. At the time, it was infuriating, because the show purposely didn't tie up any loose strings. Wolfram & Hart unleashed hell on Los Angeles and it appeared as though our heroes were all dead meat. Thankfully, comic books have carried on the story and we know what happened next (officially).

    (3) At home do you normally use a pen or pencil to write? Pen.

    (4) What made you decide to live where you are (location, price was right,..etc..)? It wasn't really a decision. Where I live now is about 50 miles from where I'm from. I was offered a job here, which was a thankful escape from the job I was at ... I took it, and look at me nine years later. lol

    (5) Have you thought of making any New Year's Eve resolutions this year? Nope. It works better if I don't make any.

    (6) When you want to check what the weather will be like the next day where do you go..TV, radio, newspaper..etc...) I have a widget on my dashboard of my mac that I look at for the forecasts.

    (7) Have you ever rode a horse? Yeah, a few times. I've been horseback riding in the Great Smoky mountains. It was fun.

    Hi Angela............Fun questions.  Hope your father continues to do well~~~~ 

     

     

    (1) Your are traveling 5 hours from home. Would you rather take a plane, train or car?  I'd rather take a plane.  I hate long car rides....but I suspect that a 5 hour trip would certainly mean a ''car ride.''

     

    (2) Which TV sitcom do you think had the best cliff hanger/season finale? hummm, I don't know...I think I'd say E.R.

     

    (3) At home do you normally use a pen or pencil to write?   Pen

     

    (4) What made you decide to live where you are (location, price was right,..etc..)?  We chose our home because it was basically the neighborhood we both grew up in....we're still her 41 years later!!!!!!!!

     

    (5) Have you thought of making any New Year's Eve resolutions this year?   Nope....too early to add THAT stress to the stress of the holidays...lol

     

    (6) When you want to check what the weather will be like the next day  where do you go..TV, radio, newspaper..etc...)   T.V. or the newspaper.

     

    (7) Have you ever rode a horse?  Yup, on our honeymoon, we went to a honeymoon resort in Pennsylvania and they had horse back riding.  My horse's name was Lacy...why I remember that, I don't know.

  • Zoie....We went to Pennsylvania it is about 3 hours from here. I wish I was able to take a plane instead I am not good with long rides. Thanks for your caring words...I hope my dad continues to do well../Angela

    (1) Your are traveling 5 hours from home. Would you rather take a plane, train or car? 5 hours is right on the border of my "fly or drive" perimeter. I guess it would depend on what I'm doing and how long I'll be there.  If I'm going to be there less time than the drive time, like a business trip, I want to fly. If have to be there longer than the drive time, I'll drive.
     
    (2) Which TV sitcom do you think had the best cliff hanger/season finale? I guess *The Office* since it is the only OTHER series I watch.
     
    (3) At home do you normally use a pen or pencil to write? pen
     
    (4) What made you decide to live where you are (location, price was right,..etc..)? career, family, friends, home, weather and I love the southeast. I've spent time all over the country and I like it in NC the best. Despite what some may believe, it is not all backwards and stoopid down here.
     
    (5) Have you thought of making any New Year's Eve resolutions this year? I don't wait for the new year to make a resolution but I wish success for all those who make good ones.
     
    (6) When you want to check what the weather will be like the next day  where do you go..TV, radio, newspaper..etc...) Internet, weather.com.
     
    (7) Have you ever rode a horse? Yes I have, through the hills of Maui no less.

    (1) Your are traveling 5 hours from home. Would you rather take a plane, train or car>>>>>An hour to the airport, park, check in, waiting to board, flying, getting my luggage, then renting a car to leave the airport? I think not. I'd love to take a train, it's been so many years.

    (2) Which TV sitcom do you think had the best cliff hanger/season finale>>>>>>I don't think I saw any.

    (3) At home do you normally use a pen or pencil to write>>>>Considering, at home I usually have a pencil behind each ear, gotta be a pencil.

    (4) What made you decide to live where you are (location, price was right,..etc..)>>>>>The city, my husband's company transfer. As for the house, because it's IN the city, not the burbs.

    (5) Have you thought of making any New Year's Eve resolutions this year>>>>>Of course, without a New Year's resolution, what would I have to give up for Lent?

    (6) When you want to check what the weather will be like the next day where do you go..TV, radio, newspaper..etc...)>>>>>TV. I don't listen to a radio station , which does any news and the morning newspaper is too far from the next day.

    (7) Have you ever rode a horse>>>>>Yep, giddy up!

    Have a nice morning shopping with your dad and I hope he has a wonderful trip.
