Random things
1 Floss my teeth in the car on the way to work and as I return from hospital daily.
2 Sleep less than 6 hours a day, my body refuses to do more.
3 Watch TV too often, and with my step children ages 12 -15 so I watch trash.
4 Refuse to learn to cook, we eat out or my husband cooks, or we eat the wonderful fresh uncooked veggies that I lovingly prepare.
5 I also - like RAM- eat no meet 3 days a week, and no red meat 7 days a week.
6 The exception to this is visiting Iowa, In Iowa I eat corn feed beef belonging to my inlaws. It is delicious.
7 I lie when I say I do not like desserts.
8 I have too many hobbies, too many collections, too many interest and too little time.
Now I need more space I have more interesting things ...to say.

Thank You!
To everyone who responded to JEDIJAWA's challenge.
Learning new things (smile) can be fun. It did use valuable time - but LAWYERS - Jedijawa is a LAWYER bill by the hour - so perhaps he's billing someone as he writes.
I have questions/ comments:
Lewis: Sol has a voice and uses it. Tell us about yourself.

Ravi what is this instrument - what sound does it make?
40 hour week - I am envious!

Ram - A man who cooks, your signficant other is very lucky!
I also love bookstores and hate ironing! (but) love pressed freshly ironed clothing so I do frequently iron.

Sol: I didn't walk in with my parents -


AE Thank you for playing even tho you didn't enjoy the process. We have a great deal in common - I also love to travel, have 2 many books, and projects and poor judgement re: OS.

Hi Hillary,

Haha but I dont have significant other yet and I am so hoping she will help me out in the kitchen department, let see who is going to be lucky :)

Ram

susan said...

1 I wear only black beige white or red daily. When not in uniform.
2. I read 4 newspapers each day.
3. I do steps instead of elevators.
4. I like Ram am spiritual not religious.
5. I never trust anyone over 30
6. Detest small towns, and rural living, most animals, and all colored lights.
7. Like jedijawa I wear birkenstock at home w/o socks all year long. Like Dr Bob I find this survey to be dull but I continue to write.
8. Unlike Hillary I consider all of life to be random and interesting. Like Hillary I find Solomons comments to be obnoxious and child like.
