    1. Can you sing or dance? Dancing, no.  Singing, a bit.  I've done karaoke after a few drinks and *I* think I sounded fine. :)

    2. Terror or tissues? Terror, definitely. 

    3. Open minded? or usually already decided? Open minded to a fault.

    4. Ever wax anything? Yes.  Eyebrows and chest.

    6. How often to you second guess yourself? Scale of 1-10, 10 being the most often, I'd say 4.  But I've already made the decision or answer and know I have to live with it.

    7. Insecure at times? Or overly secure, to your detriment? Definitely insecure at times - a lot of the time.

    8. How many shoes are in your closet? 7 or 8 pairs ranging from dress shoes to sandals.

    9. How often do you get a pedicure? Maybe twice a year?  Right before summer, at least.

    10. Coffee or tea? Coffee...but nothing better than a 64 oz Iced Tea with 6 sugars in the afternoon.

    11.Hypochodriac? Or It's nothing, I'll be fine. Nothing, I'll be fine (standard male answer.)

    12. Loved or lover? Really think about this one before you answer. Look back at all the close relationships you have and I don't mean just romantic ones either. Ahh, definitely lover.  I think in all my relationships I've put more heart into it than my partners.  I'm more of a caregiver -- wouldn't know what to do with someone taking care of me.

    Sorry about the oddity. And repetition. I had been wanting to type this up all day. When I finally thought it was safe to make the commitment I started getting requests from 3 sides to help find stuff......a favorite sleep friend lovey, the one missing piece to a puzzle, a new toy for the next day's camp show and tell and a favorite shirt. All urgent matters that took place through out the typing. So I kept losing my train of thought.

    Message:

    I love these quizes!  We learn alot about each other when we do them....

    1. Can you sing or dance?  Only in the privacy of my own home!  I won a Karaoke contest about 8 years ago on a cruise.  Of course everybody there was drunk so I wouldn't trust their opinions!!

    2. Terror or tissues? Hmmm...wish you had included Romantic Comedies...but I guess I'd rather see a horror flick than a sappy old tear-jerker.  Those kind of movies really depress me.  I remember when I watched *BEACHES* with Bette Midler many years ago.  I cried over that movie for hours!  I don't need that.  Life is full of enough sadness IMHO.

    3. Open minded? or usually already decided? I like to think of myself as open minded however I have enough of my mother in me to tend to decide ahead of time and have to be talked out of my opinions.  But I am flexible! LOL

    4. Ever wax anything?  Not as a general rule.  I think the last time I waxed something was my car.  Unless you count using Pledge to dust the furniture waxing!

    5. Terror or tissues? Haven't changed my mind since question two....

    6. How often to you second guess yourself? ALL THE TIME!

    7. Insecure at times? Or overly secure, to your detriment? I think we all have some insecurities don't we?  I'm mostly secure in my decisions but when it comes to my physical self image I'm a little on the insecure side.

    8. How many shoes are in your closet? Way too many.  I love shoes however I have hard to fit feet...very narrow heel with high instep and wider at the ball area of the foot.  Therefore, I buy shoes that look and feel great at the store but after a few hours of wear they hurt and I end up just putting them away.

    9. How often do you get a pedicure? In the summer time I get one about every two weeks.  I love to wear sandals and there is nothing uglier than a foot in a pretty sandal with caloused heels!  In the winter I usually just do my own feet.

    10. Coffee or tea? Hot coffee in the mornings...Iced tea in the afternoons....

    11.Hypochodriac? Or It's nothing, I'll be fine. I wouldn't consider myself hypochondriac but I will go to the doctor is I feel like something is wrong.  I am sure to get a yearly exam.  But I don't lay out of work at the slightest sniffle or aches & pains.

    12. Loved or lover? I think BOTH.  I have lots of friends and family that I am both in love with and am loved by.  I tend to be generous to a fault and I try to be compassionate and caring to everyone.

  • Oh no! Bummer on your hard to fit feet. And I feel the same way about movies as you. Beaches included. If I think a tissue will be needed I would prefer to just take a pass! Although I would lean that way over Saw or Hostel any day. -cook

    2. Terror or tissues?  Not scared of things and don't cry easily.

    3. Open minded? or usually already decided? Usually decided but given convincing evidence I will change.

    5. Terror or tissues? You trying to trick us old folks?  Memory isnt THAT short!

    6. How often to you second guess yourself? Not very often

    7. Insecure at times? Or overly secure, to your detriment?   Not insecure anymore.

    8. How many shoes are in your closet? Around 13, very casual lifestyle in FL

    10. Coffee or tea? Coffee

    11.Hypochodriac? Or It's nothing, I'll be fine. Was Hypochondriac for a few years.  Seriously!

    12. Loved or lover? Really think about this one before you answer. Look back at all the close relationships you have and I don't mean just romantic ones either.

     I will make a guess,loved.  I think women are generally the pursued ones.

    1. Can you sing or dance? I like to think I can sing, I dance like a white girl!

    2. Terror or tissues? Either!

    3. Open minded? or usually already decided? Depends on the "issue"

    4. Ever wax anything? Last time I waxed, it was eyebrows and they took half my face, so I don't do it anymore!!

    6. How often to you second guess yourself? All the time!

    7. Insecure at times? Or overly secure, to your detriment? Insecure, most of the time, I'm a mess!

    8. How many shoes are in your closet? None, they are in baskets all over the house!

    9. How often do you get a pedicure? If I'm lucky, once a year.  Man, that sucks!

    10. Coffee or tea? Mostly coffee.  Love my espresso.

    11.Hypochodriac? Or It's nothing, I'll be fine. It's nothing, I'll be fine.

    Message:
    1. Can you sing or dance? I really can't and it is a big regret that I didn't learn all the beautiful dances for weddings and parties. I wish I had been sent to the classes as a kid. My kids will for sure! And I love the beautiful harmony of church choirs. I would love to be a part of that.

    2. Terror or tissues? Neither. If a movie is all terror and gore I won't watch it. But I also don't like to be taken to the other extreme either. I don't like to cry and try to always avoid it. This may be a defense method from childhood. I like funny movies and action films. I like a happy ending.

    3. Open minded? or usually already decided? I like to think I am open minded. There wasn't much influence over me as a kid. I also read a staggering about of newspapers and magazines and get many points of view there. I always read this stuff cover to cover and even if I don't like where its going I still read and consider it.

    4. Ever wax anything? My eyebrows every two weeks. I really upgraded my look when I followed that simple inexpensive tip. Will never stop doing it!


    5. How often to you second guess yourself? Frequently.

    6. Insecure at times? Or overly secure, to your detriment? A former colleague and I really bumped heads over this. My strategy is to be cautious and have a plan B. Hers was to be "decisive". I am like a private detective that will case the place, follow people and then research the places they have been, story board it. (I am just using police metaphors here to illustrate) She won't even listen even if I have already done the work and am trying to present it. She is the SWAT team. Guns blazing, shoot first ask questions later. So she always accused me of being insecure and I accused her of being overly so.


    7. How many shoes are in your closet? 120 + 10 boots. Every conveivable shoe need can be met in a moments notice.


    8. How often do you get a pedicure? Every two weeks


    9. Coffee or tea? My fav is tea, but I can handle coffee with lots of sugar and real cream


    10. Hypochodriac? Or It's nothing, I'll be fine. Hypochondriac.


    11. Loved or lover? Loved. This is so hard to explain. And I love quite a few people madly totally fully. It's not THAT. For whatever planetary plan alignment or what ever. Everyone has always pursued me. Strongly. And I have never done that. A wise old woman once told me that every relationship has the one that loves the other so powerfully and the other allows themselves to be loved. Do you think that could be true?

    1. I'm an accomplished singer, a little rusty on the dancing. 

    2. Not sure I understand the terror or tissues choice. 

    3. I have strong opinions, but I'm willing to listen to opposing ones. 

    4. I waxed a dining room table once. 

    5. I'm really not getting this.  Sorry. 

    6. Since I take plenty of time to think through important decisions, I don't second guess myself often. 

    7. Sure, I'm insecure at times.  But not overly. 

    8. Without checking, I have about a dozen pairs of shoes in my closet right now.

    9. I do my own pedicures, every other week or so. 

    10. Hot coffee in the a.m., iced green tea the rest of the day. 

    11. I'm not a hypochondriac but I don't let symptoms slide either. 

    12. Most of the time I'm blessed with a healthy balance of loving and being loved.

  • You and Mr. P should go out for some dancing. I suspect you are better than you remember. -cook
  • Cook, Mr. P and I used to dance a lot when we were younger and we weren't half bad. Just out of practice these days. Sorry I didn't get the movie question--I'll take either terror or tear-jerkers as long as it's a good story. - Peridot

    12. Loved or lover? Really think about this one before you answer. Look back at all the close relationships you have and I don't mean just romantic ones either.  Historically probably 60/40 I was the lover, now defintely 50/50.
