New Survey 2-22-17

1. Do you use Post-It notes? For what do you use them most? Yep, use lots of them at work for reminders. My computer monitor has a nice ring of them all the way around.....I should probably throw some of them away come to think of it...

2. Do you think freckles are attractive? Yes or no, doesn't really matter to me.

3. Do you ever count your steps when you walk? Or do you count anything else on a regular basis? I find myself counting the white hash marks on the pavement all the time while I'm driving...how weird is that?

4. Tell something you did, or saw, or happened to you recently, that reminded you of an SKMB member. Be specific. One of the neighbors that lives around the corner on my block has a pet goat. It's usually standing at the front of his chain link fence watching the street when I leave for work in the morning, reminds me of DJ. Then I usually think what if it turned into a zombie goat and ran amok???:lol:

5. If Abe Lincoln and George Washington were living in the US today, what would they think of our government? They'd probably be too busy watching porn to care...

6. Fill in the blank: Things just aren't the same in today's world. I remember when things moved slower, and I wasn't as confused.

7. Who is the last person you kissed? I don't wanna think about it.

8. What is your favorite app on your phone? Shazam. I'm always trying to remember who sang a song I hear on the radio. It drives me nuts when I can't think of who the band is. Shazam is great for getting the info.

9. What do you do when you don't get your way? I'm used to not getting my way, so not a big deal.

10. Who do you miss most right now? Someone by my side.

I'd like to apologize for post #10, After reading it, I realize it was stupid and 15-year old boy-ish to boot. Sometimes my heart writes instead of my brain. This was one of those times. No excuse. Cry pardon Tet members.

Sometimes writing from the heart helps us all. What you wrote was not stupid or boyish, and no reason to apologize. Everyone needs someone by his side from time to time. No shame in it.

Tery! Help please ma'am, may I edit that word in my previous post please? The post is pathetic enough without the misspelling. Thank you in advance.

Not an easy thing for someone who has tried to remain stoic and bulletproof for going on 40 years, but thank you kindly Gnt.

Hey buddy, I read your post and didn't see any reason to apologise. If it makes you feel any better, I'm over 40 and last year when my dog passed away (he went to sleep in my room while I was reading and never woke up), I bawled like a frigging baby. Ain't no shame in admitting that you feel.

There's no need for an apology. Honest answers help us to know each other better. Just FYI, we're at your side in our way :)

1. Do you use Post-It notes?
YES For what do you use them most? Making notes about different materials I need or programs I want to try for the kids I tutor--I leave notes on their work up sheets to remind myself.

2. Do you think freckles are attractive?
On some people.

3. Do you ever count your steps when you walk? YEP. Or do you count anything else on a regular basis?
Many, many things (there's a low hum of counting in the back of my head a lot of the time, unless I'm reading or listening to music.)

4. Tell something you did, or saw, or happened to you recently, that reminded you of an SKMB member. Be specific.
I was talking to friends tonight about how kids are over sexualized at an early age, and thought of Ghost's Valentines Day post. I referenced it in the conversation, even.

5. If Abe Lincoln and George Washington were living in the US today, what would they think of our government?
Weary.

6. Fill in the blank: Things just aren't the same in today's world. I remember when
I left the house on a summer morning on my bike and didn't return until dinner, then went right back out until my dad whistled for the bikes to be in at dark. And no one worried. Now my son wants to go on a well-supervised tubing outing with a church group that will last about 6 hours and it sparked a deep discussion, first with my husband and then with some other parents in the group.

7. Who is the last person you kissed?
My son, goodnight.

8. What is your favorite app on your phone?
Does email count? If not, probably Pandora.

9. What do you do when you don't get your way?
Suck it up and move on, unless it's vital that something happen one (my) way. In that rare occurrence, I dig my heels in and polish up my persuasive reasoning :)

10. Who do you miss most right now?
My eyebrows. Those suckers thinned out like crazy as I've aged. They used to be lush; now I have something akin to Hitler 'staches over my irises when I don't fill them in front and back.

You asked--lol.
