Interview the next person...

[FlatpickingJD]

I'll answer all 3: Louis Armstrong, Maria Callas, Allman Brothers.

What single thing do you enjoy doing more than anything else?

 

[MMXII]

Reading, isn't there a job somewhere that I could do that for a living???

Why did you chose the profession you are in?

 

[GritsnGrace]

I didn't actually just choose it, I just happened upon it, part time at first, then it was a better deal than my full time then, so I quit the other.


what one person from the past would you like to meet?

 

[heartnsoul]

That's a GREAT question!!!
I would like to meet a lady friend of mine that died real young of cancer. She was a great mentor, friend and mother to me at the time when I was in my early 20's. She gave me wonderful advice but I was too young and stubborn to listen to her. I remember she would say to me, "You need to dump all these loser guys you're dating and don't be so serious. Go out, have fun and enjoy yourself." Did I listen to her? Of course...because at that age I thought I knew it all! Hind sight is always 20-20. If she was alive today, I think she would be very proud of me of how things turned out. Gee whiz...if only we could have the wisdom then of what we know NOW. Oh well...such is life.

Is there anyone from your past that you would treated differently knowing what you know today?

 

[MN John]

Yes. My ex-wife. If I had known what would happen later, I would have done a lot differently.


Is there something that you did in the last year that you'd have done differently if you knew then what you know now?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

Yes, but that's how we grow and/or learn. If it comes up again, I'll do things differently.

What person in your life has had the biggest effect on your life (other than Jesus)?

 

[~Wisdom Seeker~]

My Mother.

When someone cries around you, do you try to make them feel better, or do you get mad at them for it? Be honest.

 

[heartnsoul]

My current husband. Believe it or not though, it's not because of the "good" times that affected me but the "bad" times. Because it's the bad times that I lean on Jesus for support and security. Also, marriage in itself has a way of teaching important lessons for personal and spiritual growth. Just learning how to accept your spouse and learning to live with your spouse is a major challenge to accomplish and along with it many growing pains!

But to expand on this more, I think everyone we meet along the way can be considered stepping stones for personal and spiritual growth because there is always something that can be learned from good or bad experiences.

What was one of your major struggles that you had to turn over to God?

 

[heartnsoul]

My Mother.

oops...sorry for double answering JD's question.

I always try to make them feel better if they're crying.

[MN John]

for 20=some years we had a Christmas-day cookout. Christmas morn would start with gathering wood and buidilg a fire. Minnesota Christmas can be 30 below or 40 above; green, white, or brown; rainy, snowy, dry; windy, still ... we never missed it.

How many children did you want? How many do you have now? and how many do you currently want?

 

[MMXII]

I have 2 daughters. Unless something drastic happens in my life, I won't be having anymore children.

Would you consider adopting children?

 

[FlatpickingJD]

Absolutely.

What is your favorite thing to do w/your children? If you don't have children, what was your favorite thing to do w/your parents and/or sibs?

 

[~A.Pure.Heart~]

laugh

How would you describe your laugh? Do you guffaw, giggle, titter, snort, wheeze, are you silent, do you sound like a cartoon character?

 

[MMXII]

Depends on the situation...I do all of those except the cartoon character sounds.

Would you fly in a hot-air balloon?

 

[~A.Pure.Heart~]

Sure.

Are you adventurous?

no -- it's a neccessity.
