Yes, and I had excellent handwriting. My handwriting has definitely suffered since I do so much less of it and so much more typing now.

What is the square footage of your residence?
Is your home too big, too small, or just right for your needs?

Yes I was taught penmanship in grammar school. I failed. They made me take a bunch of physical hand eye coordination tests and I passed them with flying colors. I tried and tried to improve my penmanship to no avail. To this day if I write in script it is imposable for anyone other than me to understand, and even I have a hard time deciphering it .

Opps,,,,

My home is just under 2000 square feet. Being just my wife, dog and myself live there it is fine. Once my brother in law, sister in law, goddaughter, and their dog move in next month I might feel differently though .

Mine is also just under 2000 square feet and it's just me, three cats and a fish named Vinnie, so it's plenty big enough for all of us

What do you see when you look out your back door?

We don't have a back door, but we have a side door . Looking out of it I see the east side of our yard. There is a deck. (Used to be a screened in porch there but I tore it down a couple of years ago) The deck is quite large and the only thing on it (in winter) is my barbeque grill and a little table. Just off the deck there is a 3' wide strip of grass and then a bordered planting strip also 3' wide. Planted in there are evenly spaced azalea bushes, a maple tree, and a climbing rose bush that I train to follow the fence. Oh yea, behind the garden strip is a 6' wood fence on the east side and a 6' wood colored styled PVC fence on the south side with a gate. (front of house) My neighbor's driveway is just on the other side of the fence on the east side. (Fences make great neighbors ) On the other side of the south fence are my prized roses .

Same question

Dirt.

My yards (front or back) aren't landscaped. We bought the house as a repo and it was vacant for so long that both the yards died completely. Just last week we even had a 50 some year old Cottonwood cut down in the back yard as well. It was dying and it was more of a liability to the house than anything. I would have hated for one of those big branches to break off into the roof of my house.


Where is the most peaceful place on earth...in your opinion?

The most peaceful place on earth is the middle of the ocean at sunrise or even sunset. It can be quite hellish too so those smooth peaceful moments are priceless.

A close second would be a particular beach in south eastern North Carolina at sunrise. It is deserted, isolated and majestic in every respect. The only sounds are the gentile crashing noises of the waves meeting the sand and the sound of the whispering pines. I have talked to those pines many times asides from being great listeners; the strange thing is they talked back! It is heaven on earth . (In my opinion)

The back 'yard' of our vacation home in Nova Scotia. As we walk out the door, we are immediately on the dock,leading to the lake.

The best time of peacefulness there is first thing in the morning. I walk out there, in my flannels (its a bit cold in nova scotia in june) with a cup of coffee and watch the fog lift off the water.

There are rarely any motorboats or anything noisy on the lake when we are there.

I love it there

The worst thing ever to happen to ME was not the worst day of my life...the worst day of my life was the day I learned that a friend I love more than life itself had died in a motorcycle accident.

What's the funniest thing that happened to you?

There are tons..When I was younger, I'd listen to sports trivia radio contests (where you could only win once a month)--but I'd win WEEKLY by giving the names of different friends when I'd answer correctly..The funny part is, my FRIENDS that would be "winning" would be listening to this program in the car while driving at the same time (and almost drive off the ROAD )--and call me back immeditaely, saying things like, "Life is good!" and "Easy money once again, Bobby!"


SAME QUESTION

wow - lots of funny things, of course not everyone would think they're all funny!!! It's all relative.

The thing that comes to mind right now is when I used to travel a ton for business, going to the same hotel every week for 2 - 3 days. I got to know all the desk people, so one night I arrived rather late and the desk clerk (male) asked me if there was anything else I needed...I said something tall, dark and handsome would be good. There happened to be a guy standing at the desk just making some notes and he just gave me "the look".

Anyway, about 5 minutes later, I returned to the desk and the guy was still standing there, but when the clerk asked me what was wrong, I told him that there was a man in my room and I was ONLY KIDDING and that there was a man in my bed!!!!! The guy standing by the desk is likely still picking his jaw up off the floor!

As it turned out, the desk clerk figured it was late, so he'd give me a suite...apparently the door had been left ajar at some point and some guy had let himself into that room for the night. He was sleeping but was awoken to be kicked out of the hotel.

From that point on, I was always careful about what I asked for in this hotel!!
