[Large_Al]

Fall just hit hard this morning. We had a major rain storm yesterday it was hot and humid. I wake up today and it's cold and crisp. Good Football Weather Let's see....Oh It's Eagles vs Boys today!! Go Birds! Looks like the leaf raking dance is going to start soon. My Pumpkins are starting to turn orange on que. Now if my Tabasco Peppers would turn red I'd be all set. I've got to drop some serious money at Lowes and Home Depot today. I need to buy 4 windows a new Garage Door and a door for my Breezeway. Time to get winterized before it's to late. Oh well!

1. What type of heat do you have?

Central Bubba and Air, LOL Doesn't matter the temperature around him, he's ALWAYS hot (and I'm not talking metaphorically, he has a high metabolism or something, :smirky: ).

Actually, we have gas heat, but it never gets too, too bad down here, so we have space heaters too, and save the gas heat for those few days a year it actually gets COLD, :smirky:.

2. What is your favorite way to cure Hiccups?

A. Put water in a cup. B. Plug your ears tightly with your fingers. C. Drink the water out of the cup from a straw (that part's important!) -- as much as you can for as long as you can. D. When you can't drink anymore, you will involuntarily take a huge deep breath because of the effort expended drinking the water from the straw.

I have found that 98% of the time it works -- the two times it didn't, I didn't use a straw but tried to drink from a plastic cup I could hold with my teeth while drinking. The straw is the key!

3. What's your favorite Junk food Snack..ie..corn chips, Lays Old Bay chips?

Chips = Pringles
Junk Food = french fries

4. What's your favorite Cookie?

Tollhouse Chocolate Chip (although I MUCH prefer the dough itself, to the cookie, :smirky: ).

5. What do you drink the most? What Brand is your Favorite?

The REAL thing, Baby! Coca-cola classic ... I am TRULY addicted. If I'm not drinking coke, the ONLY drink for me is water.

6. Who is your Favorite Artist?

What "type" of artist?

As far as painting, Monet ranks at the top of my list, but I have many favorites, actually.

Musically, my tastes vary depending on the genre -- if I MUST pick one, of course, it would be Barry Manilow!

7. What is your Favorite Picture?

Famous, or otherwise? I have a picture in my house that is my favorite, it's a picture of a lighthouse. As for famous pictures, there is a Monet in our local Art Museum (The Samuel P. Harn Museum of Art), that is just simply breathtaking (I don't remember the name of it though -- I was always too busy staring at the painting to notice the name, :smirky: ).

8. One word to describe yourself?
Quirky

9. What's the fastest you have driven?
80 mph

[Large_Al]

1. What type of heat do you have?
Gas fired hot water Radiators

2. What is your favorite way to cure Hiccups?
You exhale as much as you can and when you think you can't exhale anymore you force more out of your lungs and hold it for 15 seconds. That works for me.

3. What's your favorite Junk food Snack..ie..corn chips, Tortilla chips

4. What's your favorite Cookie?
Lorna Dunes or Pecan Sandies

5. What do you drink the most? What Brand is your Favorite

Water
I like Dissani or Aquafina

6. Who is your Favorite Artist?
Andrew Wyeth

7. What is your Favorite Picture?
A picture By Andrews Father N.C.

It is one I remember as a kid and I have loved it ever since.

The rumors were true.

I can tell you exclusively that sometime next month, Infinity Broadcasting will announce that David Lee Roth is taking over for Howard Stern.

The one-time lead singer of Van Halen will assume the microphone in New York and several other markets where Stern's radio show is heard.

[Melz]

1. What type of heat do you have? Gas Heat, although it is not as "cheaper" as most think. Have never noticed a real difference in price.
2. What is your favorite way to cure Hiccups? Usually all it takes is slowly drinking a glass of water. I can get them under control pretty easily though. While in college, I sure fell for a lot of goofy ways of getting rid of them, including drinking a glass of water upside down after eating 3 tablespoons of sugar. Trust me, that does not work.
3. What's your favorite Junk food Snack..ie..corn chips, Lays Old Bay chips? Chips and salsa. Or nachos and cheese, they are both with tortillia chips and very addictive mmmmm
4. What's your favorite Cookie? Peanut Butter cookies, homemade.
5. What do you drink the most? What Brand is your Favorite diet Coke. Just for the taste of it. Regular soda is entirely too sweet after 20 years of training myself to drink diet soda. By 9 am I have already had 2 20-oz bottles of the stuff. way addicted.
6. Who is your Favorite Artist? Not sure I have a favorite, i like the person who does "the Cat's Meow" drawings and figures though.
7. What is your Favorite Picture? I like all pictures of covered bridges
8. One word to describe yourself? Obsessive Compulsive.
9. What's the fastest you have driven? I went 105 once trying to pass someone who was determined that i would not pass them. scared me to death though, felt all out of control of the car.
10. Innie or Outie Innie

We Have Bonus Question:
11. Both Sammy (cabo wabo) Hagar and David Lee (Just a gigolo) Roth Have Birthdays this week. With Van Halen who did you like better? VH is my all time fav group! I liked Hagar better as a lead singer, but the days with DLR were classic, wouldn't trade those years for the world.
