Same with me, 'Fuse--I'm one of the few people over 40 who looks FORWARD to their birthday each year; it means spring has arrived--at least calendar-wise!

Speaking of spring, do you suffer from seasonal allergies--or are allergic to anything?

Ugh yes. I never used to, then about five or six years ago it hit me HARD! I start itching and scratching and sneezing in the middle of February and it doesn't end until June. It's miserable. There is no over the counter remedies that help me. I have to get a prescription.

Will you do anything 'foolish' for April Food's Day?

I will tease my daughter. She earned the title of the best April Fooler in our family, when she was born. I went into labor at 6am April fools day. Hubby and I thought for sure we were having an april fool's baby.

But she fooled us. She didn't come until 6pm on the 2nd.



same question

I'll try to "fool" myself into thinking it's 80 degrees and sunny in New England..

Do you enjoy swimming activites outdoors?

I've neber been much of a swimmer, but I love being out on the water on a boat or by the beach...I also love hiking and walking.


How do you like your steak.meat cooked, rare, well or somewhere in between?

I love to swim. I also love to scuba dive and snorkel . The more time in the water I spend the better and happier I am. I have several wetsuits of various thicknesses to extend my swim time. I gain about one month in the spring and about two months in the fall . The water is sometimes warmer than the air in the fall in these parts but without a wetsuit you would get quite cold once you get out, and waterskiing would be frigid (while out of the water) in October without one.

I am late again I see,,,,

Kitty I like my meat cooked well-done. Black on the outside, brown on the inside. If you ever cook me a burger when you think it is well-done wait about five more minutes; then it might be ready for me to eat.



Do you know how to waterski? If so, when was the last time you went waterskiing?

I did it in Hawaii in the late 80's--when I was in MUCH better shape ....Lots of fun, but can be dangerous..


Do you DRINK lots of water?

The danger is part of the fun Bob, " bite off as much as you can chew " is my motto in regards to waterskiing. There are some photos I have to dig out from about five to seven ago (when I was in better shape ) of some pretty serious wipeouts I took. Nothing like the feeling of a boat going about 35-40MPH, hanging inside on a sharp 180º turn and the rope goes slack and just as you are going slow enough to start sinking and then the snap of the rope, jump the wake and ride the outside for all it's worth ! In my estimation we used to regularly ski at 70MPH plus with this effect, quite the adrenaline rush!

Water is not so soft when falling at such speeds. Six or seven skips across the top before abruptly stopping is the norm . Tuck and roll,,,tuck and roll . I was only hurt once bad enough to get me out of the water. The darn ski kicked up in a violent wipeout once and knocked me in the head. That lump the size of a tennis ball was there for a week .

While I love being on or in water I don't drink much of it at all. (Too salty )

Same question

The Koz family pool is salty, too, but that's another story...

Yes, I drink a lot of water and probably should drink more to replace the soft drinks. I have had a fear of dehydration since a childhood incident. But I won't shell out for designer water in a bottle.

Do you shell out for designer water in a bottle?

Nah--if I DO buy the water in the supermarket, I buy the cheapest brand--as long as it's wet..

SAME QUESTION

I'm like Bob I'd only buy the cheap water if there is a sink with a tap and the water is clean then I fill a bottle from there for nothing.

Where you live is it a Hard or Soft water area? If you have heavy chalky deposits building up in your washing machine or kettle then its Hard otherwise its soft
FYI Where we live it is always soft comes from the Pennines or North Wales.

We have well/underground spring water--which we have to filter..Sometimes in the summer--during a drought--it still can get cloudy/murky, so I keep my eye on it at all times..not hard water, though...

On this April Fool's Day, have you ever played a MAJOR trick on someone?

No, nothing major...when I was a teen I bought some rubber puke and put it on my brothers bed and told him the cat barfed.

Do you chew gum, crack it, blow bubbles...what kind of gum and what flavor do you like?

I chew only LOL. Eclipse Polar Ice when I have my choice.

Have you ever had a Cheerwine? Do you know what it is?

If I have I didn't know it and no, I have no clue, a type of I maybe?


SAME QUESTION

Is it wine that makes you cheer? In that case--YES!

SAME QUESTION

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheerwine
Packaging looks familiar

There are some brands of cherryade in the Uk that could run this close for quality/taste
Doubt it would sell well Flavoured soft drinks in Large Sizes are Pepsi/Coke or Tizer

Have you any drink in the freezer Now
if so is it Milk ,soft drink or Alchohol?

Milk, soft drinks (including Cheerwine!), water, orange juice and a bottle of white wine in the refrigerator. Nothing to drink in the freezer.

How many times have you been married?

Z-E-R-O -- I value my privacy, sanity, and overall well-being too much..


SAME QUESTION
