Friday Fives

[Ozarks hillbilly]

1)What is your personal anthem or quote? If this is the worst it gets, I’m doing pretty good

3)When was the last time you climbed a tree? Last week
4)Where or what is your personal heaven or place to be? Just at home with my wife and kids
5) Are you afraid to die? No, I know where I’m going, but I hate the thought of not seeing my little ones grow up

My parents were members of a fan club. The club set up pen pals for service members. They wrote letters and decided to marry never having met. They met two days before they were married.

I met The Princess when she had a large disk drive acting up and I was chosen to fix it.



My life is an unbelievable sequence of blessings. I could not imagine making it any better. So no changes.



When The Princess said " I do".



I was born with cleft palette. A dozen or more surgeries before I was in the 7th grade to repair the cleft and correct complications.



"I am woman" was my old answer just for the comic show. Not a choice these days.



Whatever rifle the Navy used to train recruiters back 76. I believe it was a bolt action riffle. 48 years ago so not sure.

Nice questions!

It's been awhile since your post about Pen Pals - - this site could use Pen Pals. Great subject.

Okay, I know this is early, but otherwise it would be late! I apologize if any of these are repeats. Here we go:
1)What is your personal anthem or quote?
2)What is your favorite memory with your family when you were a child?
3)When was the last time you climbed a tree?
4)Where or what is your personal heaven or place to be?
5) Are you afraid to die?

1. not sure
2. LOL NOT being with my family but staying at my aunt's farm
3. last time I picked apples, probably a few weeks ago, but its not a very high tree
4. not sure , I like living where we live now
5 . no, but afraid of getting there ( the suffering before you die, unless you just drop dead)

1)What is your personal anthem or quote? I have a tendency to say 'Yeah..No..' so much a relation bought me a t-shirt with it on!
But I do have a couple, normally directed at my kids- the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few; make a decision, the road is full of squirrels that couldn't; and in the case of females dressing inappropriately '****s or legs, not both'
2)What is your favorite memory with your family when you were a child? As the eldest, when Mum wanted the smaller ones out of her way I would get a Mothercare catalog, each would pick a baby and 'shop' for it - we would spend hours doing that curled up on the couch
3)When was the last time you climbed a tree? Half a tree,earlier in the year
4)Where or what is your personal heaven or place to be? At home or Alaska
5) Are you afraid to die? Afraid, no, (unless its tomorrow in which case I'm not ready) it's the lead up to it I would worry about.

Thank you - not sure who posted these

[Ozarks hillbilly]

Why not, I like these questions.

1) Have you ever seen a ghost? Maybe, I seen a young girl walk through our house when I was younger, thought it was my sister. When I ran to check on my sister (in the opposite direction) she was asleep in bed. I know I saw that girl and I know it wasn’t sis. But was it only my imagination or the ghost of the girl who was buried in our front yard a century earlier?
2) Have you ever witnessed anything a ghost has move around? No
3) How many countries have you been to? Including the U.S., 12
4) What is the highest altitude you've been to? Not on a plane, 11,240ish
5) How many states have you been to? I’ve been to all 50 and 3 territories. With the family that number is only 45, that’ll be remedied in the next two years.

 

[ButtercupKid]

1. I have seen some things that I can't explain, but also can't label. I once saw a soldier fighting the good, covering our ass as we pulled out, only to find out later he was KIA early in the skirmish.

2. See #1. I swear that rifle was up and popping rounds.

3. Grassy soil, sandy soil, mountainous soil, islands and more. Several I guess.

4. I don't know the exact altitude, but everywhere in Afghanistan was high in elevation.

5. I don't know, maybe half. I don't really keep track of such things. Not at this point of my life anyway.

I had one of those experiences when we were checking out a home that the lady who lived there thought it was haunted. The cats followed me to the attic and were both freaked out when they were there.

 

[LadyLocust]

I am glad you are thinking of ways to poke fun at me and my Irishman.
But turnabout is fair play.
Just remember that.

2) Have you ever witnessed anything a ghost has move around? no ghosts moving around. But. late at night that darn cymbal-playing stuffed monkey top will start banging his cymbals. It must have been a ghost that wound him up. Sometimes the monkey will be sitting on a different ledge or shelf in the house when we get up in the morning.

There's quite a bit to see in every state, so nothing wrong with that. I talked to a woman in Los Angeles, who had never been out of Los Angeles County and never been to a lake. She was about 30 years old at the time.

I'm at work and these are spur of the moment: 1) What color are your eyes? 2) Is your second toe longer than your big toe? 3) What do you eat for breakfast? 4) What time do you normally get up in the morning? 5) Are you liking or disliking the time change coming next month?.
