What would you "like to know" about the next poster....

Nope.

Language you would like to learn?

If I truly was going to learn a new language, then Irish, but it probably won't happen.

TPBM is afraid of heights.

YES!!! I thought it would be a good idea to get tickets for the Sky Walk at the Grand Canyon a few years ago and....I spent about 30 minutes trying to talk my self into doing it. I got about 2 feet out and froze! My legs were JELL-O. I had to inch my way back and it was a sad feeling knowing I just couldn't do it. 

TPBM has a phobia of clowns?   

No.

Do you finish more than 1 book a week?

no  but i wish  i could get through them faster  than  i do

tpbm likes watching reruns  of childhood shows

This is "What would you like to know about the next poster" not "TPBM", but that's OK, I'll answer it anyway. 

Not particularly, but the last time I was back in the US I watched a few on late night TV at my Mom's.

What were your favorite Saturday morning cartoons when you were a kid?

Smurfs! 

Would you consider getting an ipad 2 ?

Nope.  I'm still mad at my Iphone & have no plans to buy any Apple gizmos again.

Do you sometimes think life would be a whole lot simpler without all the electronic gadgets we've all come to think we can't live without?

In some ways yes.  I'm don't care much for gadgets though and my phone is only an old Nokia.

Do you know anyone under the age of 45 who doesn't have email?

Yeah, I do, surprisingly


Do you have sun where you are?

Not today. But, we had a good run of it all week, so we're due to get some clouds. It is Ireland after all! 

What do you like to do on a rainy day?

i love sitting on the couch with a blanket and a book with the window slightly open. the rain smell... THE BEST!!!! 


whats the clumsiest thing you've ever done that people have witnessed?

It's perhaps the most dramatic clumsy thing I've done, with people watching and not helping me!  I was very very upset.   I was running for the bus and tripped on the sidewalk where a square of pavement was missing.  My ankle was sprained so badly I was out of work for a week and not only could I not walk, but I couldn't even fit a shoe over my swollen foot, and it took months and months to heal.

edited to add:  I was lying on the ground because I couldn't get up.  I was crying.  The bus driver was right there with the door open and did not help me, he ignored me.  People walked by.  Finally a nice couple walking past helped me up.  I should have reported that bus driver, but I was too traumatized to take down the bus number, etc.

What's the most embarrasing / clumsy thing you've ever done on a date?

Oh that's awful Andee!! People can be so terrible- the "someone else will help" syndrome 


Hmmm...  I can't actually think off too many embarrassing things happening on dates.  Oh yeah- hmmm- being quite younger in my years, in a secluded park, in the car, doing ahem, some naughtier things than one should be doing in a park, and having the cops pull up next to us.  Oh yeah, they knew what we were doing for sure!   

What song is stuck in your head right now?

'Round Here-- The Counting Crows

How old were you when you felt comfortable speaking another language?
