I've knocked a couple of nails in, but that's about it. I am like Red Green - if you can't fix it with duct tape... (actually I really appreciate my current contractor - he does such excellent work!)
Which language do you think is the most difficult to learn and/or pronounce?

Russian and Japanese are the most difficult I've ever tried to learn. They're both more like each other than like English. I can still remember a little Japanese (I took that when we lived on Okinawa when I was in jr hi/high school). I remember more Russian than I thought I did, I found out last night when we were re-watching Daredevil (lol). I understood more of what the Russian mobsters were saying than I expected to.

Do you speak any languages other than English?

It's a three way tie between the stove top, coffee maker and toaster oven

Have you tried taking supplements for better health?

Yes, but mostly I just eat right.

Despite 3 years of HS French, no.
I do know some very basic ASL from before my son could speak.

What are you doing today?

My project for today is to declutter my bedroom so I can get a more restful sleep at night - unlike you I am not a clean freak, but your answer to one of my questions yesterday inspired me to take a good hard look at my room (and pretend I am Martha Stewart!) so - thanks 80sFan :encouragement::love:

Is there any snow on the ground where you live?

The ground snow has finally melted, but our pool still has a coating of ice.

What is your favorite springtime activity?

I usually use Tide, not scented. Sometimes with bleach.

How do you clean your oven? (Self clean? Natural cleaners? Store bought?)

I am lucky to have a self cleaning one - first time we used it I left a bunch of plastic spice bottles on the back (like a dummy) and the bottoms of them got warped, so it must really heat up high in there.

When was the last time you read an actual paper rather than getting the news on-line?
(or do you do this frequently?)

I'll admit, it's been a while. I usually go to local news websites.

(Also, I have a self-cleaning over, but the directions warned that it could be fatal to certain birds, and said to remove them from the house before using the self-cleaning feature.
I don't have pet birds, but that didn't give me much confidence about the safety to other living things, so I've always cleaned it manually).

What did you order the last time you went out to eat?

Marinated salmon and salad, water and coffee (we ate at IKEA yesterday--lol)

Do you eat out often?

I love lily of the valley, but I couldn't have it for years--every part is poisonous, and I was worried my kids or dogs would get into it. I might be able to have some now!

We have it growing in a shady spot of our garden.

Not as much as we used to.

Do you pair wine with food or drink what you like, no matter what's on the menu?
I drink what I like simply because I am not a fan of red wine, but actually I normally do not drink alcohol while out to dinner.

Have you ever gone out camping in a tent trailer? Did you find it comfortable and/or do you enjoy camping?

I've been camping many times and I love it. I've never stayed in a tent trailer yet.

Have you been on a cruise? If so where did you go? If not would you like to and if so where would you like to go?
