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? Nikola Tesla

What will your reaction be? Will you chat the person up, just smile and nod, or pretend you don’t know who they are?
It would be shocking and I’d have all kinds of questions for him. There is so much about his life and his ideas that I’d love to get answers from him.

At what age do you think a person is too old to still be playing video games? Depends on the video game, some are too simple and made for little ones others are too involved and complicated for adults of any age.

Do you know what a Fluffernutter is, and have you ever had one? I'd be confused with which piece of bread I would spread the peanut butter - top or bottom? There's always pressure and confusion with these types of questions.

Do you think that a man and a woman can be just friends? Depends on who they are, it's a complicated life being a woman and not much easier for a man. There are many factors to consider however if pressed for an answer I'd go with "yes".

Have you ever been “just friends” with someone of the opposite sex? Yes I'd like to think so, but you'd have to ask them.

I should ___Exercise________ more often.
I need to stop ____being lazy ______ so much.

One of my best qualities is _can you give me a minute or two on this one?_________.
One of my worst qualities is _ok, now I need several hours to think about it and I'll get back to you later.__________.

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.

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 tell him how honored I was to be sitting next to him and we can start chatting.


At what age do you think a person is too old to still be playing video games? No upper age limit

Today’s Questions:

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 think that a man and a woman can be just friends?
Yes, if there is absolutely no sexual attraction.
Have you ever been “just friends” with someone of the opposite sex?
Yes, I have a male friend who's gay. We've been friends for over 40 years and were even roommates for a while.
I should vacuum more often.
I need to stop thinking about the past so much.

One of my best qualities is my sense of humor.
One of my worst qualities is low self-esteem.


Thanks, everyone!

Larry The Cable Guy

What will your reaction be? Will you chat the person up, just smile and nod, or pretend you don’t know who they are?
It would be a loud fun meeting of rednecks. We would probably both get booted off the airplane.

At what age do you think a person is too old to still be playing video games?
103

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.


Do you think that a man and a woman can be just friends?
Sure

Have you ever been “just friends” with someone of the opposite sex?
Many times

I should clean house more often.
I need to stop cleaning house so much.

One of my best qualities is staying out of other peoples business.
One of my worst qualities is any pictures taken of me
