7. Good for you, for doing the cardio
I'm still slowly - very slowly - losing weight. Didn't want to jinx it, though, by making it a goal or new year's resolution. Instead, I'm calling it a "lifestyle change." Yeah, I know, still sounds cliché.

15. My ongoing goal -- take off some weight.

6. How long have you been married, sarge43?
It's great you can talk to your husband about a bad day. Seems I can discuss almost anything with my husband except a bad day. He won't tell me not to talk about a bad day, but after 16 years of marriage I can tell when he'd rather not hear something.

10. Honey bees keep their hive interior immaculate.
They don't even defecate in the hive; they poop outside. It's not unusual to see the yellow stains on the outside of the hives.

hat's a problem up here in cold country. If the temp is below mid 40F, the bees will not leave the queen; they cluster around her to keep her warm. So mid winter they need some warm days to do the cleansing flight or else they eventually have to let go in the hive and the toxins from the waste kills them. We lost both our hives last winter because they couldn't/wouldn't leave Big Momma, just never got warm enough.

If you want to see a grown man or woman cry, it's a bee keeper who pops the hive early spring and sees the interior covered with yellow stain. There's several thousand dead bees at the bottom of the hive.

13. Here you go
When was the last time you ran? Over the summer (see last question)

What is your favorite planet (excluding Earth)? Saturn and it's moons. Fascinating.

Do you like Science Fiction? Only some of it: Asimov, Clarke, some random others.

Do you believe there is extraterrestrial life (similar to ours) on another planet? Mathematically, it would be unlikely there isn't.

Do you like murder mysteries? Nope.

Who is the biggest gossiper you know? A friend from the military. Since passed away.

New York or California? California.

Ocean or pool? Ocean.

You're having a bad day. Who do you want to talk to? Whoever is causing my bad day. And it's NOT going to be a pleasant conversation!

Have you ever been high... on life? Many times.

Are you old fashioned? Not particularly.

When was the year you were the most happy and why? I am very lucky...I've had several. 1986 and 1989 would be tops (years my kids were born).

One rumor that's been spread about you: I really don't know of any. Oh, wait...when I was a flight instructor in the military, I helped a couple of flights get some students through that they thought there was no hope for. A rumor started among the students that if you were given me as an instructor, it must mean you're in big trouble in the program. Totally untrue, btw. I just gave a couple of students some new ways to approach things.

One goal you'd like to achieve this year: Get running again on a regular basis.

22. Good question
When was the last time you ran?
I can't remember but am sure it was relatively recently

What is your favorite planet (excluding Earth)?
Don't really have one. I'm fascinated by all of them and the wider complexities of the galaxies and the whole universe

Do you like Science Fiction?
Not to a great extent. Not really my genre, although I do like some science fiction -particularly to do with extraterrestials and the like

Do you believe there is extraterrestrial life (similar to ours) on another planet?
Almost certainly. We have such a big universe with so many galaxies. I find it impossible to believe that, in the whole wide universe, we're the only ones out there

Do you like murder mysteries?
Kind of. Not a big fan of Agatha Christie and all the other big murder mysteries out there. But if I can relate to the victim and the circumstances of the particular murder mystery, I can become intrigued

Who is the biggest gossiper you know?
I won't go into details but she's someone I've known since childhood

New York or California?
California's absolutely beautiful and I loved it the one time I visited. Some very warm, hospitable and generous DU'ers there too who were an absolute pleasure and privilege to meet. However, I have go with New York because I think that New York City has to rank as one of the most beautiful, charming and most appealing cities I have ever been to in the world.



Ocean or pool?
No preference. I love pools, lakes, oceans, fountains, basically anywhere there is water. It is one of my pleasures in life to be around those places

You're having a bad day. Who do you want to talk to?
I don't really have anyone sadly.

Have you ever been high... on life?
Oh yes, the first twenty years of my life where full of happy and cherished memories, special moments, idealism, hope and optimism. Then it all came crashing down

Are you old fashioned?
Yes, definitely

When was the year you were the most happy and why?

Either 1990-1991 or 2000. 1990-1991 because I was nine years old then and living an idyllic existence as part of an expatriate community in Southeast Asia. I lived in a beautiful house, went to a lovely school, had some of the closest and most supportive and caring friends that I've ever had and a teacher who was probably the best teacher I ever had. Life was carefree and mostly consisted of sleepovers, parties and fun times at school. In addition to this, we lived near to our extended family and were very close to them and especially my late grandparents. It was also a year of intense optimism, seeing the reunification of Germany, the release of Nelson Mandela and the collapse of the Soviet Union. Even as a nine year old, I followed world events closely.

2000 was my first year of university and living away from home and I loved every aspect of it -campus life, my university and the courses I was enrolled in. Also was a time of incredible optimism and hope in world affairs. Looking back on it, the memories from that year seem almost magical

Actually for most of the whole second half of the 1990s, every year my happiness just seemed to increase. Every year just seemed to be getting better. Wish I could go back to that

How is the weather right now?
Very hot to the extent that we are on bushfire alert AGAIN :eyes:

One rumor that's been spread about you:
There were quite a few in high school but can't think of one now. And don't care to remember the ones that were spread at school, they were too many to mention

One goal you'd like to achieve this year:
Get more politically involved

32. random answers...
When was the last time you ran?
A few days ago when I was running late for work.


What is your favorite planet (excluding Earth)?
Prior to 2006, I would have said Pluto. Now, I'm not so sure. :(


Do you like Science Fiction?
Somewhat


Do you believe there is extraterrestrial life (similar to ours) on another planet?
Yes, out of the billions and billions of stars and planets in the universe I find it hard to believe ours is the only one with intelligent life.


Do you like murder mysteries?
I don't really like mysteries of any kind.. I find them rather boring.

Who is the biggest gossiper you know?
One of my co-workers who always seems to have the latest dirt on EVERYBODY.

New York or California?
California because of the weather(but please for the love of God, replace Arnie with someone competent!)


Ocean or pool?
Pool, it's usually cleaner. Although the ocean is much more beautiful!

You're having a bad day. Who do you want to talk to?
My best friend.

Have you ever been high... on life?
Most definitely!

Are you old fashioned?
Fuck no!!

When was the year you were the most happy and why?
2008(which followed 2007, my absolute worst year ever!). A co-worker became said best friend mentioned above, I went from being part-time to full-time at work, and Obama was elected which gave me hope for the future.

How is the weather right now?
cold and rainy.

One rumor that's been spread about you:
That I was stuck up and snooty because I wouldn't speak much to people at work. When the real problem was I was severely depressed and also suffered from social phobia. I have since been put on medication and seeing a therapist and I have really come out of my shell! I am NOT the same person I was three years ago.

One goal you'd like to achieve this year:
To get out on my own and let the world know about my sexual orientation! Right now I am still semi-closeted but thanks to the help of some really great friends(and my awesome therapist) I'm hoping that will change!
