:moo: I don't know about y'all, but the weather is getting so much nicer, where I live. Mrs._Platinum & I are so much happiër, now that we've moved. We went to a football game last night, under a full moon, & had a good time. Although, she complained about it getting a little cold toward the end. We'll just have to dress warmer, next time. I love Friday night football, since it's such a good opportunity to get out with the family. Oh, & in answer to your next question, yes, we won.

1. Have you ever experiënced a hurricane?
Yes, several in fact, considering I LIVE in hurricane country (Florida) -- but none, full blast.

2. What's your favorite small country?

Does Australia count as a small country, or just a continent?

I don't fly. Well, on my honeymoon we went to Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Tennessee, stopping in each state along the way, all in one day.

4. Do you think golfers are athletes?
Not in the strict sense of the word, but I do think they need to be in shape to play the game, and they have to have skill ... so I guess in a way they are. (WOW, my first ever fence-sitting opinion, LOL)

5. What's your favorite Doobie Brothers song?
China Grove

6. Who was your favorite character on I Love Lucy?
Fred Mertz (Actually, I think this has been asked before, and I might have given a different answer ... I reserve the right to change my mind -- I am a woman, it's my perogative!)


7. How many clocks are in your house?
Eight (two in my bedroom, 2 in living room, 1 in kitchen, 1 in dining room, 1 in son's bedroom, 1 in daughter's bedroom) . . . unless you count the ones on our two computers, then the answer is ten.

8. What's your favorite candy bar?
Chocolate?? Did you say CHOCOLATE??? Where??? Where??

Nestle's Crunch Bar


Psssstttt! Okay, this is Hms's "good" twin speaking ... she is allergic to chocolate (really, no joke), please keep ALL chocolate out of the reach of the "bad" Hms. Thank you.

:idea:This week's questions:
1. Have you ever experiënced a hurricane?
Several, but in all cases, by the time they reached us they were minor, like big rainstorms. My mom went through one in 1943 I believe, when she was a baby. Her parents lost their house (Long Beach Island, NJ).
2. What's your favorite small country?
Don't know.
3. What's the most states you've ever visited in a single day? (no flyovers)\
Well let me think. I drove to Chicago once (and then back again a few days later). Each trip was without staying overnight anywhere, and I think each trip was within a 24 hour period. So counting the beginning and ending states, 5. I don't think I've done more than that.
4. Do you think golfers are athletes?
Personal opinion- no.
5. What's your favorite Doobie Brothers song?
I only know and like a handful of their songs. I would have to say "Jesus is Just All Right" would be my favorite if I had to choose.
6. Who was your favorite character on I Love Lucy?
Probably Fred Mertz.
7. How many clocks are in your house?
10, counting what's on the VCR, phone answering machine, microwave, etc. I use 3 alarm clocks every morning.
8. What's your favorite candy bar?
There are many that I like, but no particular favorites.
I love Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, Milky Way, Three Musketeers, Snickers, Zero (hard to find), and many others.
