[Kurben]

Do you have a Telephone/Address book? (An actual paper book.)
No, i had once but try to keep numbers and adresses in my mobile now.
Have you ever called 9-1-1?
Yes, several times. Mostly because i had to have an ambulance either for my mother or me., Once because some idiot turned a car into a big fire and i called it in. Both police and firemen arrived.
Can you pick up things with your toes?
No.
If you had to pick a new first name, what would it be?
No idea. But if, i think i would pick something that sounds softer than Kurt. Perhaps Björn (means bear).
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
"No two children are born into the same family."
Is that a variation of Heraclitos saying that you can't go down in the same river twice? In that sense it is correct for the second child in the way that it is a larger family for him. If not i think it more of a wordplay.
If you had your druthers, would you like to have been a twin?
I would like to have had a sibling when i grew up. Younger or older doesn't much matter. I have a brother now but didn't know of his existence until i was well over twenty years of age. But i would like to be my own. A two egg twin is OK though. I think one egg twins are a bit scary sometimes.
What's your favorite joke?
It's a very bad political joke about a former prime minister of sweden. It has to do with pigs, Yassir Arafat and Saddam Hussein. Needless to say i always intensily disliked this politician.
Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with?
Someone bright, beautiful and not afraid of being stuck in an elevator. We could have a good conversation.
If you could be any age for a week, what age would it be?
a bit over thirty. That was a good period of my life. Experienced in my trade but still young enough so some bodyparts didn't start to protest. Still running fast enough to be real good at floorball. And i should have more time to read.
When is the last time you stubbed your toe?
Two days ago. Stumbled on my vacuum cleaner. It hurt!

 

[HollyGolightly]

Do you have a Telephone/Address book? (An actual paper book.)
I have 1 for each year since 2008 - they are my day planners and it's utterly ridiculous trying to remember which year I wrote someone's address or phone number in. I keep 3 years worth in my carry all bag that I must carry everyday, and the others are in my desk drawer. I am totally aware of how unproductive and ridiculous this is.

Have you ever called 9-1-1? Praise God I've never had to, but I have called poison control way too many times. I think I'm on their watch list.

Can you pick up things with your toes? Yes, and turn the bath tub faucet on and off.

If you had to pick a new first name, what would it be? Rainey

Do you agree or disagree with the following statement:
"No two children are born into the same family." Totally - the Ogre and I were at different ages and stages when we had our children. Our oldest is definitely a product of a couple of kids (we were 21) trying to figure things out. The middle one (we were 32) is probably the most "settled". The youngest was our "oopsie" (we were 34) and she sure acts like one.

If you had your druthers, would you like to have been a twin? Definitely not

What's your favorite joke? My favorite funny story is the "DOG" story on hyperboleandahalf. I'm not a good joke teller.


Who would you most like to be stuck in an elevator with? For how long? Like just a passing chat, or like power shuts down and we have to entertain each other for a while?

If you could be any age for a week, what age would it be? I loved 1985 - so I'd have to say, between 15 and 16

When is the last time you stubbed your toe? It's been about six months, and I made the Ogre take the dang shower door off and replace it with a curtain because of it.

[blunthead]
