Bonus Question:
thanks Towhee for this one

Do you have jumper cables in your vehicle ?

Do you know how to use them ?

Get a jump ?

The funniest, strangest thing I ever held was something weird I couldt even identify, it was at a gift shop and it was round, squishy, like a water balloon that kept slipping out of the hands....
Yes I have cables in my toolbox and know how to usae them, but usually use them on someone elses car. My truck is a stick so it can be push-started if ever needed.
My ears are pierced.
Cable, all the way. No satellite, no way, no thanks!

It's not unusual or strange, but the coolest and most wonderful thing I've ever held was my newborn children.

What is the (see above) you would love to hold ?

I'm not really a touchy-feely sort; I'd be glad to watch others hold exotic animals but am not terribly interested in doing so myself.

Bonus Question:
thanks Towhee for this one

Do you have jumper cables in your vehicle ?


Sure do!

Do you know how to use them ?

Sure do!

Most recently, have you had to
Get a jump ?
Give a jump ?


I gave a colleague at work a jump during a bad cold snap last January.

Just for Fun:

Who has pierced ears ?


I do, but they're only pierced in one place each, unlike my daughter who has so many holes in her ears that I've lost count.

Which do you have in your home ?
Cable ?
Dish (satellite) ?
Other ?


The spouse has a satellite receiver for his viewing enjoyment. If I lived alone, I'd have none of the above, and I'd get rid of the television as well.

What is the coolest/ most unusual /strangest/funniest thing you have every held ? I didn't "hold" it, but once a boa rested its head on my shoulder. I was with my class of second graders on a field trip. I didn't know it had happened until someone asked if I liked snakes. I had my back to the door. It WOULDN'T have happened if I'd seen the guy coming towards me with it!

What is the (see above) you would love to hold ? I'd love to hold the baby tiger in Shelby's picture. Also, Elston... if I could give you reps for your answer I would. Love & Peace.

Bonus Question:
thanks Towhee for this one

Do you have jumper cables in your vehicle ? Yes. My sister-in-law gave them to me.

Do you know how to use them ? Not a clue. I some how think if I tried I'd blow up the car.

Most recently, have you had to
Get a jump ? No
Give a jump ? No


Just for Fun:

Who has pierced ears ? Yes

Which do you have in your home ?
Cable ?

Dish (satellite) ?

Other ? I have an antenna still. I live in the hills of Vermont, don't get a lot of tv. That's fine with me though, because I'd rather be sitting on my porch listening to music and reading... or out walking through the fields & woods.

Happy Wednesday all!
