Today’s Questions:
You are sitting in your airline seat waiting to take off when a celebrity is seated right next to you. Who do you hope it will be? Shania Twain would be nice. Or Kate Winslet.
What will your reaction be? Will you chat the person up, just smile and nod, or pretend you don’t know who they are? I would just bask in their presence. I figure any level headed celebrity is sick of being spoken to so I would only speak as spoken to.
At what age do you think a person is too old to still be playing video games? Don't know. I don't play.
Do you know what a Fluffernutter is, and have you ever had one? Peanut butter and marshmallow cream sandwich. Never tried.
Do you think that a man and a woman can be just friends? Absolutely
Have you ever been “just friends” with someone of the opposite sex? Sure
I should ride a unicycle more often.
I need to stop juggling so much.
One of my best qualities is being loveable.
One of my worst qualities is going blank on fill-in-the-blanks, even though I ask them.

Be Nasty Day <<<---------- I never know there was a special day for this? Who would have thought it.

Today’s Questions:
You are sitting in your airline seat waiting to take off when a celebrity is seated right next to you. Who do you hope it will be? I am just not real into celebrities, and think our culture worships them way too much.
What will your reaction be? Will you chat the person up, just smile and nod, or pretend you don’t know who they are?
I can be talkative, but not on airplanes so much,so I probably wouldn't say much to anyone....I lean toward introversion anyway.
At what age do you think a person is too old to still be playing video games?
You are never too old! Life is short, do what you love, while you can. Do what makes you happy.
I like video games sometimes, and I like board games...age can sometimes be just a state of mind.
Do you know what a Fluffernutter is, and have you ever had one?
Not for sure, so I don't know.....just looked it up...no I have never had one....I love peanut butter but I don't know If I have ever tried marshmallow cream, I don't think I have ever had it. It doesn't seem like it would work together, that combo....but evidently some people really like it, and since I have never had one, I can't really say....like I was saying to each his own,
eat and do what makes you happy....
Do you think that a man and a woman can be just friends? For sure
Have you ever been “just friends” with someone of the opposite sex? Sure I have had several close male friends through the years.

You are sitting in your airline seat waiting to take off when a celebrity is seated right next to you. Who do you hope it will be? Bryn Terfel
What will your reaction be? Will you chat the person up, just smile and nod, or pretend you don’t know who they are? I would smile, say hello and let Mr. Terfel take the lead as to whether he wanted to chat or be left alone.
At what age do you think a person is too old to still be playing video games? It depends on the game. For those fantasy, adventure or action games that have lots of characters and complicated plots, I'd say 40s. All other games such as cards, skill games and word games, I'd say no age limit.
Do you know what a Fluffernutter is, and have you ever had one? Yes, I've tried one. It was OK, but not something I could ever get excited about.

Do you know what a Fluffernutter is, and have you ever had one? A Fluffernutter is what happens after eating beans and then getting on a plane for a long flight. When it happens passengers around you move to other seats even if there are no empty seats. The flight attendants quit discreetly spraying air freshener every time they walk by you. Instead they grab the jumbo size can of Lysol and empty the entire thing on you. If the Fluffernutter gets bad enough the pilot will declare an emergency and divert to the nearest airport.
