    All expenses paid trip to any TBF member

    No no. I wouldn't do that. He's actually in Lincoln but ... that's like almost Fredericton. Almost.

    What do bookworms do for exercise?

    I'm a walker. When I'm not reading I'm making my way to and from the kitchen. :D When circumstances permit I slog up and down the trails with 30 pounds of camera gear, chasing after frogs or other critters. Sometimes I leave the camera gear home and just enjoy slogging up and down the...

    Is Motokid an annoying ass?

    Moto who? ;) I enjoy your posts and your questions. I may not agree with you or the opinions of others in every instance but that's part of the social experience.

    First couple to be in bed together on tv

    Actually they showed Edith and Archie in bed more than a few times. I remember hearing the story about this - both actors had to keep one foot on the floor in order to get the approval of the network. If it's B/W I'd have to guess The Dick Van Dyke show.

    Last I recall he said he was in Fredericton. :D

    All expenses paid trip to any TBF member

    I don't really know anyone but . . . I would have to pick jenngorham. For starters I've always wanted to go to Canada. It would be a good excuse to visit someone I know in NB. I don't think she'd ply me with liquor and try to take advantage of me and even if she succeeded she certainly...

    I'm looking for good French Books.

    I was actually going to post the same question. Now all I have to do is make a list of the recommendations. :)

    Tv

    It's been a long time since I've been to a theater to see a movie but I have heard the complaints from lots of other people. The only thing I want to see on a theater screen is previews and the movie I paid to see.

    contructive criticism wanted - critique me

    As long as someone gets praise from someone else it won't matter if you say what they do is crap. Your opinion will be dismissed. Should they find later that there is truth to what you said they will have nothing but your cruel words and a long string of lies to think on. But were you to...

    what we look like.

    Everyone looks like typed words on a computer screen to me. If I relate a person to an image, that image is usually the avatar they use. Yes, that means someone here looks exactly like a walking talking banana to me. I have discovered that I am imagined to be about 17 when my age isn't...

    Tv

    Sometimes I turn on the TV and then become too busy to watch it. I make a point of watching new episodes of Grey's Anatomy, Lost, and The Apprentice. I also use my tv for watching anime and movies that I own.

    Which book scared you?

    The movie, Ghost Story, was an absolute bore and lost all of the nuances of the book that made it creepy.

    Do you read 'literature'?

    I agree. I'm not a person of favorites or "vs". I started out reading the Little House on the Prairie series when I was 9, tried out some serious poetry, spent a few years absorbed in almost nothing but encyclopedias, moved on to horror, did some literature, etc. and on through many genres...

    Lawns & The American Obsession

    You just HAD to go there, didn't you? Electric cars are expensive and not entire convenient. My personal preference though is to walk. A typical weekend walk, for fun, is about 9 miles, give or take a few. If I did not have to take my 3 year old out on the highway to get groceries I would...

    Do you ever reread your books?

    I reread books all the time. I don't usually reread non-fiction though.

    contructive criticism wanted - critique me

    I critique consistently regardless of age and ambition. If someone asks about something specific I will try to give that "something" special focus. I will distinguish between someone more skilled and someone just starting out - someone skilled shouldn't need things explained to the same amount...

    Lawns & The American Obsession

    I don't own a house but this is my idea of lawn maintenance - Mow with an old-fashioned multi-blade push mower (all manual kids), leave the dead grass where it falls, rake the dead leaves and use them to cover your garden. Weeds? If you don't like them get rid of the grass and surround your...
