Getting to Know You Game

Before I left, I was tagged by 3 people at least.  I have answered the questions at least.  I will not forward any questions or tag anyone else.   Please read my answers and make and comments you might have.  




The rules are you answer the eleven questions asked you and then you tag eleven more bloggers and ask them eleven questions.  I am pretty sure I can answer the questions, and I can probably tag eleven other bloggers, but I will TRY to come up with eleven more questions to ask. So here goes...

From Julie of Julie and Yes Dear:

1.)  Chocolate, Vanilla, or Strawberry?  (If none of these are acceptable, you must choose a flavor that is!)
Vanilla!!!  So simple and sweet
2.)  If you could meet any famous person, living or dead, and ask them one question (ONLY ONE), who would it be and what would you ask them?


3.)  What's the hardest thing you've ever done and why was it so difficult?
The hardest thing I am doing is trying to change my life.  I have been very unhappy for a long time, and now realizing how unhappy I have been, I am trying to change by trying lose weight and being more social-able to the opposite sex.


4.)  Who did you look up to as a child, and do you still look up to them today?  (This can be a parent, a rock star, an athelete, whatever.  You can also list multiple people.) My mom, because she went back to school while raising her kids and I admire that very much.  Princess Di and my aunt.  My aunt I do look up to her but as much as I did as a child.



5.)  List the pros and cons (for you, keep it personal) of what you do for a living.  If you could go back and do it again, would you do the same thing, or change it?  What would you change it to, and why?  I am on disability and would like to get off it.  I am trying to improve my health so I can go back to work.  I would like o go back to school and teach in a college or university.



6.)  What's your favorite meal?  (You can say anything in response to this, including dinner, breakfast, tea, lunch, etc.  It can be your fave meal of the day, or meatloaf and mashers.  Up to you.)  My favorite meal is ham, mashed potatoes, green peas, and cheesecake.


7.)  What's your favorite way to communicate your ideas to others?  How often to you partake of this method of communication?
 I like using my blog or chatting to my groups.
8.)  What's the nicest thing you've ever done for someone you don't know?
Giving a couple dollars to a person who was down on his luck.
9.)  What's the number one problem with the world today? Trying to keep religion and government separate.  I believe these two subjects interact with each other.  Most people believe in some sort of spiritual guide and it is personal for each one.  But government wants nothing to do with religion, but religion helps make you the person who you are and forms your believes, whether it is knowing right or wrong, or finding some source of peace inside of yourself during a hard time.  I think we need to accept our spiritual believes is part of us ans it affects everyone you meet in your life. If you are in the government, these believes are going to affect your decision making.  Trying to separate religion and government is not working.  


10.)  Do you like technology, or are you one of those people that only puts up with it when they have to?  (By tech, I don't only mean computers.  I mean smart phones and HDTV and digital radio and iPods and everything.)
I love technology.  If I had the money I would be on top of all the new gadgets.
11.)  If you could have one perfect day, who would you see and what would you do?  (Get descriptive here people.  Write a paragraph or two.)
Stitching all day and not needing sleep.  I can do this outside by not being bother by bugs.  Maybe a little reading and my meals being served to me.

I loved reading all your answers, Vicky. I did the same thing on my blog, just answering the questions but not passing it on.

I loved your answer about stitching outside without bugs and having food brought to you! Great idea!
