The getting to know you Game

[stewball]

It's what you do at a gym or fitness center, or anywhere really, to improve your health or your figure. Bike riding, swimming, walking, treadmill etc.


I don't know how to swim but I love to splash around in a swimming pool. There's no beaches here in the desert in Arizona.

What dishes do you like to cook?

I'm so sorry. I was being sarcastic. I hate exercise of any kind. Gym at school was bad enough.
Now my family are insisting that I go walking at least once a week.
Swimming is important. You never know if you'll have

She's more active in the evening. Seems like she sleeps a lot during the day, especially in warm places like my Arizona room and her cat tree on the patio.

 

[Elfilou]

No question, so I'll answer to that one as well. She's active both at dawn and dusk. But she's a kitten, so nothing else is to be expected.

Are you still in contact with one or more friends from your childhood or teenage years?

 

[debbila]

Yes, a friend I've had since before I even started school

What is your best childhood memory?

 

[foxxycat]

Vacations every summer for a week at Rye Beach, NH. We rented a ratty ol cottage but it was heaven. Just mom and I. And I was allowed to ride my bike wherever. Used to ride bike to buy lobsters-and cook them at the camp. Those were the best days.

What was the worst job you ever had?

 

[little cutie66]

My worst job was when I worked at a woman's clothing store. The boss had me ironing clothes, I lasted a couple of days. I hate to iron till this day.

What do you like to do on Sundays?

 

[stewball]

Relax. Watch TV. Read.


What's your favourite part of the day eg mine's bedtime.

Evening is my favorite part of the day, when all household chores or errands are finished and I play computer games and get on The Cat Site.

do you go to the salon to get your nails done?

Same with me. We were married 19 years and he passed away in '99. No children though.

Yes I get my nails done at a salon. I get gel polish because it doesn't chip like regular polish.

What do you like to have when you eat out?

 

[ashcat]

I usually get Chicken fingers because they're good almost anywhere you go and I'm not very daring.

 What's your favorite book or book series? Why is it your favorite?

 

[debbila]

Gone With The Wind

I like romance stories and history. It has both, and wonderful descriptions of the clothing, homes, and customs in the time of the Civil War.

 What did you play with when you were a young child?

 

[stewball]

A doll.


If you work, do you work on Saturdays?

Most Saturdays I work.

How old were you when you had your first kiss?

What is the best job you ever had?

 

[margd]

The job I held for most of my life -  studying plant viruses in a microscopy lab.  Extra points for its location on a beautiful 6000 acre research farm containing fields, meadows and forests and cool old ruins.

 What would you do if you won a big lottery prize?

 What would you do if you won a big lottery prize?

Now that sounds lke something i would love to do-I love anything science-especially biology!

If I won the lottery I would build a sanctuary for unwanted cats-I would build a huge outdoor enclosure with my carpentry/mechanical skills-something huge with tunnels and grass and trees. A great big area with shade and sun-with mini decks all over for those to get up off the ground then hire people to help me fulfil my dream.

Where is the first apartment/house that you first moved into after leaving home?

 

[Kat0121]

DH and I lived in a 2 bedroom basement apartment on Long Island. It was 1992 and the rent was $800 a month. The kitchen window opened to the dog pen so that was just delicious in Summer when the 'deposits" got nice and hot.  

They had a big, goofy blonde dog- probably a golden retriever mix. The wife hated the dog so he lived in the pen with his doghouse, dishes and some toys.  The dog used to stick his head in the window looking for handouts   

. They also had a ginger tomcat that she also hated. He wasn't allowed in the house either. He was an outdoor cat. When it got really cold out, he would come to the side door and wait for us and  ask if he could come in. DH was allergic to cats but we set him up with food, water and a box with a blanket in the hall outside our door so he could come in out of the cold. He'd go outside when we left for work. The wife had a little dustmop dog that was allowed in the house. It had a full wardrobe and regularly went to the groomers for the full treatment including painted nails. 

 

What year did you graduate high school?

 

[AbbysMom]

1986.


Have you ever seen the ocean?

 

[margd]

Yes, I've seen three of them - Atlantic, Pacific and Indian.   And there is nothing like the first sight of the water after a long drive!   

What is your favorite kind of artwork to hang on the wall?
