Additional Comments:

Hi, all.  I thought I'd try my hand at the questions topic.  I have so much fun with these-I hope no one minds me jumping in.

Here goes:

 

1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?

2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick?

3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?

4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?

5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?

6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )

7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs?

8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly?

9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?

10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.

 

my answers:

 

1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?

Yes, and yes, a little bit.

2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick?

Crunch it way before I get to the center.  If it's a tootsie pop, I really try to keep the two flavors separate, but it rarely happens.

3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?

Calvin or Hobbes.  Calvin because he is so energetic, inquisitive and intelligent.  Hobbes because he is cute, fuzzy, wise and above all, loyal.

4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?

YES!  I had a health related appointment a couple of weeks ago but I could forsee no reason why my underwear would come into view.  I was wrong!  The guy had to put some sensor type things on my lower back and I had to undo my pants for him to get them into place.  Voila!  There he had a vfine view of the hole at the back of my undies!!  Grrrrr!

5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?

All the time.  I decide that what I've written is stupid, a repeat of what someone else has said, too personal, etc-loads of other random reasons.

6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )

Taking off the bra at the end of the day!!  Aaaah!

7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs?

Ain't Even Done With The Night by John Mellencamp, Finish What Ya Started by Sammy Hagar and Van Halen (all I can think of at the moment)

8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly?

Like a crammed full junk drawer!  I constantly save websites telling myself I will get to them someday.  And for every ten I delete, I probably add twenty new ones.

9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?

Uh, what time is it now?  = )

10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.

Loads, I'll post one below.

Hi, vh, I'm not good at answering lots of questions -- too much pressure. LOL.

But I liked your question about poetry. Here is a short poem that I like:

All Paths Lead to You

All Paths Lead to You
Where ever I stray
You are the evening star
At the end of day

All paths lead to you
Hill-top or low
You are the white birch
In the sun's glow

All paths lead to you
Where ever I roam
You are the lark song
Calling me home

Poem by Blanche Shoemaker Wagstaff

  • thanks, Holly. I especially like the line with the white birch--makes a vivid image in my mind. next time, I'll probably have fewer questions-these took months to gather! vh

    I'm a bit late but have a little free time. 

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?  Yes I do and don't feel guilty.  Sometimes a thread like that can go on for days with out an answer and I click on thinking maybe I can help.  Other times I click on because I'm curious.  I don't feel guilty because this isn't a private message board.

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick?  I'm not big on Lollipops but when I do have one I usually start out sucking on it and then get board, take a bite and let the chunk dissolve.  Why do I fell uncomfortable describing this???

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?  Daffy Duck.  He's daffy, a good entertainer and tries so hard to get keep Bugs in his place.  He always fails but doesn't stop trying. 

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?  No never caught.  LOL.  Sorry.  I couldn't resist.  I don't wear them if they have holes. 

    5. Do you ever start to answer some one's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?  Yes I do that often, especially if the topic is a hot topic or political one.  After a point I ask myself if I really want to bother.  90% I don't.

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )  A man will never know what it's like to be a mom.  A woman will never know how a man feels about watching a woman who has just given birth or breast feed their child. 

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs?  Don't have any.  Martin couldn't listen to music while he's ''in the mood''.  It would be too distracting.  If I did play music it would be soft Jazz.

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly?  Crammed filled.

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?  All day.

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.  Yes but I can't think of one right now.

    Excellent choice of questions.  Bravo for your first try!

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?   Not realy.  The way I look at it is that this is a public forum.  If posters want to communicate privately, then they can exchange emails or phone numbers.

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick?  I like savoring it all the way to the end.  Sometimes, I let my doggie eat the rest.

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?  Bugs Bunny.  He's such a smart ass and sarcastic guy.  Just like me.

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?  I'm sure I have, but I rarely wear underwear. 

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?  I've done it before, but not on purpose.  Just got busy or distracted and then realized that I never posted.

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )Absolute freedom and true (true) happiness

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs? Anything by Barry Manilow

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly?  Junk drawer.  I don't have time to organize, but I know exactly where everything is.  Move something, and I'm lost.

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?  In the winter time, I will put them on as soon as I get home from work on Friday, and not get out of them until Monday morning when it's time to get dressed for work!

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.Rod Mckuen - anything

    Good morning all!  Happy Friday!!  It is STILL raining here.....this makes day #4 of straight rain!  Our local news said that the city I'm close to has gotten over 4 inches....our rain gauge (we live out in the county about 20 miles outside of the city) says 6 1/2 inches. 

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?  Yes I do and no I don't feel guilty....unless it is something very personal, then I feel a little guilty....but if it is just something random or something that I don't understand I don't feel guilty. 

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick? I crunch

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?  IDK

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?  No

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?  Sometimes.......what happens is usually I will type something and then the phone will ring or someone will come in and ask me something and then I completely lose my train of thought and I can't finish what I was saying, so I just delete it!

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )  LOL  the life of a house cat!  That has GOT to be one of the best lives to live!! 

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs?  Anything by Barry White

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly? I have a few pieces of junk in there but mostly it is orderly.  It isn't very full, but it isn't empty either!!

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?  I usually get a shower and get dressed pretty soon after I get up.  I guess a few rainy or cold/snowy Sunday's I've stayed in them til lunch time. 

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.  Not really.....

    I hope everyone has a wonderful day and a FANTABULOUS weekend!!  And rain-free too!!

    Am I too late? Well tough, I feel like answering questions.

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself? Sometimes.  Do you feel guilty about it? Posters know that nothing can be truly private on a message board so I don't see any reason to feel guilty.   

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick? I've tried, especially with tootsie pops, but I can't resist that satisfying :::crunch:::

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why? Jessica Rabbit. I'm not bad, I'm just drawn that way.

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes? Not that I can remember.

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch? Yes, sometimes I'll just change my mind mid post, maybe it sounds stupid or I'm not finding the right words for what I want to say.

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = ) Taking off the bra AND peeling off the panty hose! And I passionately agree with vg's answer - the most beautiful experience of my life.

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs? The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack. The song gives me chills - the good kind.

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly? Pretty sparse, there's only a few sites I visit on a regular basis.

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)? If I have a weekend where I'm not going anywhere I may stay in my pj's til Monday morning.

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one. There once was a young girl named Jill.... J/K, not really into poetry. Although that one is funny. I'd post it but the censors would get me.

    Thanks vh, great questions! Have a wonderful Friday the 13th everyone!

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself? Yes I have. Do you feel guilty about it? No. If they really want it private then they can do a private e mail. Since it's on a public message board anyone can look at it. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick? I crunch way before. I'm trying to cut back on cigaretts so I've been sucking a lot of Toosie Pops. I always crunch it way before I get to the chocolate in the middle.

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why? No idea.

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes? No but I have pants with holes in the crotch.

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch? All the time. I'll delete it if it's too long, maybe it sounded stupid or maybe it would be taken the wrong way or I didn't word it right.

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )  Maybe taking my bra off and putting my nightshirt on braless.

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs? None come to mind.

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly? I don't really have a big favorites list. My computer crashed a few months ago and I had to erase everything I had on my computer. I only have a few things right now, in no particular order.

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)? Maybe a day or two. I would have to be pretty sick to stay in my jammys.

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one. I'm not really into poetry.

    Thanks for the fun questions, vh!

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?  Yes, and no.  If it was truly meant to be private it wouldn't be on a public message board.

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick?  Though I rarely eat them, when I do I lick and crunch.

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?  Underdog!  He's fearless and brave with a heart of gold.  And he can fly!

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?  No, but I've been caught in my husband's underwear!  Last winter after my surgery while my abdomen was still swollen I had a follow-up CT scan.  For the sake of comfort I was wearing a pair of valleyguy's bikini underwear.  I'd forgotten I had to undo my jeans and roll the hem back, so my comfort was exposed!

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?  Now and again.

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )  A man will never experience the exquisite bonding brought about by breast feeding.

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs?  To name three:  Eric Clapton's Wonderful Tonight, Chris de Burgh's Lady In Red and Aaron Neville's Don't Know Much.

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly?  My list is quite populous but orderly.  I have topics separated in folders.  I cannot stand disorganization. 

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?  I don't sleep in PJs (preferring the freedom of nudity) but do spend my time at home in sleep pants and a soft T shirt, so I would say all day.

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.  When I married my first husband my new brother-in-law, who was best man, read aloud Lord Byron's She Walks In Beauty dedicating it to me.  It has felt like my poem ever since.

    SHE walks in beauty, like the night  
      Of cloudless climes and starry skies;  
    And all that 's best of dark and bright  
      Meet in her aspect and her eyes:  
    Thus mellow'd to that tender light          
      Which heaven to gaudy day denies.

     
    One shade the more, one ray the less,  
      Had half impair'd the nameless grace  
    Which waves in every raven tress,  
      Or softly lightens o'er her face;   
    Where thoughts serenely sweet express  
      How pure, how dear their dwelling-place.  
     
    And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,  
      So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,  
    The smiles that win, the tints that glow,   
      But tell of days in goodness spent,  
    A mind at peace with all below,  
      A heart whose love is innocent!

    Fantastic - thanks for taking the time!

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself? Do you feel guilty about it? Yes I do and no I don't feel guilty. If it's personal there will be an e-mail left. Otherwise it's open to all peekers (lol).

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick? I don't like lollipops other than Tootsie Roll Pops. I suck it down to the candy and then chew.

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why? I love Popeye and Mighty Mouse so one of them thar heroes (and with the latter I get to sing).

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes? Not yet!

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch? I've decided not to but never after typing a whole bunch. I know pretty early on.

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know? Keep it *relatively* clean! = ) A woman will never know what it's like to pee standing and a man will never know to pee sitting. Not that either couldn't try mind you...That's as clean as I can get it.

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs? How about IN THE MOOD!!!

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly? It's not too sparse but it's definitely orderly.

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)? Most of the day I suppose.

    10. Do you have any favorite poems? Post one. One of my favorites - John Milton On His Blindness (Literally and poetically):

    When I consider how my light is spent
    Ere half my days in this dark world and wide,
    And that one Talent which is death to hide
    Lodged with me useless, though my soul more bent
    To serve therewith my Maker, and present
    My true account, lest He returning chide,
    "Doth God exact day-labour, light denied?"
    I fondly ask. But Patience, to prevent
    That murmur, soon replies, "God doth not need
    Either man's work or his own gifts. Who best
    Bear his mild yoke, they serve him best. His state
    Is kingly: thousands at his bidding speed,
    And post o'er land and ocean without rest;
    They also serve who only stand and wait.


    Cool questions vh...thank you!!

  • taking the time? LOL, I've been storing up some of these questions for months! thanks for the poem-it was only last year that I discovered Milton's blindness (might have known in HS but it was meaningless to me then) anyway, reading the poem in that light has given it new meaning, thanks. vh
  • I know a man who pees sitting. OMG, please don't tell him I told you that! :O //Wendi
  • I also know a couple guys who sit while peeing... think middle of the night, bleery eyed, probably better for us as well - kris

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs? ... Another thing i need to think on...

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly? i have several of both, but i do have to say (proudly) that the vast majority of them are organized...

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?  i dunno, 12 hours??? - im a get-dressed kinda guy...

    my answers:

     

    1. Do you ever click on threads or responses even though they are clearly addressed to someone other than yourself?  Do you feel guilty about it?

    Yes, and yes, a little bit. LOL!!! We can probabaly skip The Firing Squad just this once lol!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

    2. Do you lick the lollipop down to the end or do you crunch it long before you get near the stick?

    Crunch it way before I get to the center.  If it's a tootsie pop, I really try to keep the two flavors separate, but it rarely happens. GOOD!!!

    3. If you were a cartoon (comic strip, comic book) character, who would you be and why?

    Calvin or Hobbes.  Calvin because he is so energetic, inquisitive and intelligent.  Hobbes because he is cute, fuzzy, wise and above all, loyal....All Admirable Qualities, imho!!!

    4. Have you ever been caught wearing underwear with holes?

    YES!  I had a health related appointment a couple of weeks ago but I could forsee no reason why my underwear would come into view.  I was wrong!  The guy had to put some sensor type things on my lower back and I had to undo my pants for him to get them into place.  Voila!  There he had a vfine view of the hole at the back of my undies!!  Grrrrr!....LOL!!!

    5. Do you ever start to answer someone's post and then decide not to even after you've written a whole bunch?

    All the time.  I decide that what I've written is stupid, a repeat of what someone else has said, too personal, etc-loads of other random reasons. im with ya!!!

    6. What is a pleasure that a man (or woman) will never know?  Keep it *relatively* clean!  = )

    Taking off the bra at the end of the day!!  Aaaah! ...Right on one thing: thats DEFINITELY i will never know HA HA HA!!!

    7. What are your favorite "in the mood" songs?

    Ain't Even Done With The Night by John Mellencamp, Finish What Ya Started by Sammy Hagar and Van Halen (all I can think of at the moment)... No Comment ;)

    8. Is your favorites list like a crammed-full junk drawer or is it sparse and orderly?

    Like a crammed full junk drawer!  I constantly save websites telling myself I will get to them someday.  And for every ten I delete, I probably add twenty new ones. ... HUH??? IM Confuseled

    9. What's the longest you've ever stayed in your PJs (excluding times when you were sick, etc.)?

    Uh, what time is it now?  = ) ...HA HA HA - Good Stuff!!!

    10. Do you have any favorite poems?  Post one.

    STORM WINDOWS

    Howard nemerov

     


    People are putting up storm windows now,
    Or were, this morning, until the heavy rain
    Drove them indoors. So, coming home at noon,
    I saw storm windows lying on the ground,
    Frame-full of rain; through the water and glass
    I saw the crushed grass, how it seemed to stream
    Away in lines like seaweed on the tide
    Or blades of wheat leaning under the wind.
    The ripple and splash of rain on the blurred glass
    Seemed that it briefly said, as I walked by,
    Something that I should have liked to say to you,
    Something. . .the dry grass bent under the pane
    Brimful of bouncing water . . . something of
    A swaying clarity which blindly echoes
    This lonely afternoon of memories
    And missed desires, while the wintry rain
    (Unspeakable, the distance in the mind!)
    Runs on the standing windows and away.
