Tackle them right away.

What was the last movie you saw at a drive-in theater?

Procrastinate like there is no tomorrow.

How kind are you?

I am very kind to people who are kind to me.

Re-posed: What was the last movie you saw at a drive-in theater?

Sorry missed your question. Never watched a drive-in type movie.
There was one in the city I studied in the US but it showed movies catering to the indigenous peoples of South Carolina.


How international are you?
Can you convert miles to km or meters to feet in your head for example?

I would say very international as a traveler and resident. Mathematically - fairly international.

Which country outside of your own,can you never get enough of?

Italy - China
Both for the same reasons. Interesting history, embracing culture, lovely food, divine architecture and wonderful people.

same Q but why?

At times, unbearably judgmental, at times, however, totally the opposite- add these two up and I guess I am right in the middle, at an average value of being judgmental

What websites do you look up if you want to find out new cooking recipes?

Mmm, depends on what type of cuisine it is...so it varies.

******************

Milk, dark, extra dark, or white chocolate lover and what brand do you prefer?

Cadburys milk chocolate.

If you had to choose which of these places to live and your life depended on it. Which one would you choose?

1. Siberia

2. North Korea

3. Afghanistan

4. South pole.

North Korea or Afghanistan.
The Afghanis have more fertile soil for better grown food but lack the natural beauty of Korea.

I'd go with Korea as I am a nature lover.

By the way, Afghanistan and NK are not as bad as the media portrays .

What do you do (other than perfumes) that is unconventional in your social circle.

Lots of stuff actually. My fascination with non-mainstream music/cinema/art would be shocking for my 'social circle' if they'd find out.

SQ

Movies also, I like extreme cinema. Some music also (I sound like the guy above), that others wouldn't appreciate in my group. I guess tattooing and body mod also, mind you, most of my friends are similar. I work as a piercer and get pretty heavily tattooed which isn't always conventional in social situations :')

Do you take any vitamins/supplements for your health?

No. I eat a balanced and healthy diet. An apple a day (and other fruit) does keep the doctor away.

What do you do (other than perfumes) that is unconventional in your social circle?

I collect and smoke Cuban Cigars. There is a big backlash in society at the moment for anyone that smokes in the UK so its something I do behind close doors.

SQ

Assist companies with demolition

In your job, how much responsibility falls on your shoulders?

As a health practicioner quite a bit

Given the instant availability to any living person, who would you most like to sit down with to discuss any issues for an afternoon?

Nelson Mandela (by the way - congratulations on your impending 15,000 posts!)

How good are you at giving directions to others?

Horrible. And I live in manhattan where people ask and ask and ask...even cab drivers!
Thanks God I know at least East West Uptown Downtown

SQ

I used to be terrible. I am better now.

Do you have a daily agenda that you follow, or do you just tackle things as they present themselves?

I try to work on a mental task list, but not in written or electronic form

What is your favorite flower strictly for floral arrangements and/or decorating?

Roses, if I can only pick one kind of flower.

sq

I think I'd pick Oriental Lilies.

If you drink/use milk, what type do you prefer, eg. skim, 1%, 2%, whole milk?

I buy organic grassfed 2% fat milk for my husband to use in his coffee. Otherwise, we don’t use milk.

What is your favorite cheese?

Hard question,

probably nacho cheese.

sq.

Swiss

What is a major task that you've managed to accomplish lately?

@ Lilybelle: various, but Camembert, Brie, feta, Roquefort, Gorgonzola, Parmesan, also a local specialty of smoked, matured hard cheese - all of these both in supermarket quality and from niche, boutique, artisan-like manufacturers alike - re on the top of my list
@Canuck21: finding enough time, over a single day-especially during this hectic holiday season- for a short-notice work assignment, but also, later on, for helping with the major spring cleanup, doing some last-minute shopping and still finding time to get my hair cut

What is your favorite yogurt?

I like that thick, creamy Greek yogurt that is so trendy now. But I eat little dairy. Here is the dairy that my diet allows me: ghee (clarified butter), Indian Buffalo milk (not available around here), Quark cheese (I can find that at Whole Foods, like sour cream but thicker), Romanian Urda, and Whey Protein Powder.

Ken_Russell, what is Romanian Urda cheese like? Do you know it? I’ve never seen any around here.

I cheat with other cheeses, but I try not to overeat it. Also ice cream.

What foods do you have a hard time saying no to?

Potatoes

Who is the financial manager in your household?

That would be me.

( I find it hard to resist potatoes too, especially mashed )

Do you have, or have you ever had a bird as a pet?
( I was "co-owner" of a few birds with my ex-husband, several finches, budgies and a parrot. Along with many aquariums of fish, assorted reptiles, as well as three cats and a dog. It was a busy household. We left for an extended weekend once, and my sister stayed and looked after them all. During one night while she was asleep, one of the cats had jumped up on a high cabinet and somehow managed to knock a hanging bird cage into one of the aquariums so the cage was partly submerged, and the remaining birds were "clinging to life" on their top rung. One bird had escaped, obviously a bad idea, only a few feathers were found under the bed. I now stick to cats and dogs )

Inga, that sounds like a nightmare!

I did have a bird once, a parakeet, but I dont remember it. My mother tells me she trained the bird to sit on the lid of my toy box. She said one day I let it fly out the window, saying bye bye, birdie! Apparently, I thought the parakeet should be outside with the other birds. Ive never had a bird since. I like to watch birds, but I dont want to handle them.

What is the most exotic animal/pet youve ever had? (me: baby alligator someone gave me as a gift. I was terrified of it. We finally were able to give it away to someone else).

Lol, a goldfish or a cat, take your pick.

What do you think of that Selena Gomez bottle out? I think it's pretty awful, all those lips poking out. Like a lip vase, lol.

I had to google that. It's just silly looking. I saw a really ugly one called Konvict. Google that one.

What is the ugliest bottle you own?

...

Predator by Melfleurs

How long does it take for you to lose interest in what you are doing?

Depends on how interesting the task was to begin with. If it interests me, I will somewhat obsess over it.

What is your favorite brand of kids/sugar cereal?

Lucky Charms

SQ

Frosted Flakes

What is the tallest building you have been in?

So far I can remember, the Danube Tower in Vienna.

What is your favorite lunch menu- what should your ideal lunch consist of?

Wow baby alligator lillybelle.

Tallest building - Burj Khalifa of course.

Same Q

Tallest building i've been in was World Trade Center, observation deck and the restaurant called Cellar in the Sky (long time ago).

My favorite lunch would be a leisurely one in a fine restaurant in the countryside, the full menu. Who takes time for that anymore?

sq as Ken's.

Same here, Lillybelle. WTC: RIP. The two buildings that changed the world forever, and changed each and every one of us, and our children, and made the rubicon over which the entire population of the earth crossed, leaving a past behind, a past that will never be again, then mapped a future that looks ever more contrived. The whatever buildings in Dubai may be the tallest. The WTC killed the world. Somehow, that makes them, at least in my mind, taller than any other building will ever be, no matter how many floors they contain, and more importantly: Isn't it fascinating how terrorists won a war with one gesture, and we in the west continue to fight it, like idiots, without understanding the obvious? This being that the Great West lost "day of," being obliterated and killed with all of those who burned and jumped? I saw it happen. I was there: I still have the Romeo Gigli brown suit I wore that day, with a white shirt and carmine necktie: all of which are now black with soot, and stored in a large black "Barney's" box, stuffed in black tissue paper: I open it now and then to smell the BBQ scent that lingered over Manhattan for years afterward. We only have one Earth. We can have tall buildings as high as we can imagine. Another culture, not so much.

Lunch: Nothing. cup of hot water.

SQ

Chef salad

Where will you spend your next vacation?

LMdM, dear. XO

I have not made vacation plans. Going to Charlottesville, VA for a day trip on Saturday.

Sq

Kent, if the weather gets better soon, else it will be Benicarlo first, then probably Berlin and maybe Poznan at some point.

If you had to be eaten by an animal, which one would be your favourite?

A spotted hyena

Which song when you were younger do you remember hearing on the radio so often that it made you crazy?

Holiday by Madonna . It made me crazy in a nice way though, I guess !

What is the weather like for you today ?

Seasonable - high 60's but heading to 85 this weekend.

Who is your favorite musical duo?

Oh I love Air Supply. I just love their songs .
" I'm all out of love, I'm so lost without you ,I know you were right, believing for so long..."

SQ

Simon & Garfunkel

Favorite performer(s) from the 1969 Woodstock Festival?

What do you especially like living where you live?

Friends, they're irreplaceable!

What was the saddest and beautiful album you've already heard?

People are generally courteous, not aggressive/obnoxious.

Do you have a favorite dog breed? (Mine is Tibetan Terrier) .

^^^ Sorry, did I miss something?

I have only cats but if I had a dog I would probably get a pit bull mix from a shelter

SQ

English bulldog.

What was the saddest and beautiful album you've already heard?

Original stage soundtrack to Phantom of the Opera

How often do you eat leftovers?

Hmm: Let's see now. Lots of questions.

Weather: It is presently pouring rain, with lightening, thunder and winds, and has been raining off and on for about two weeks. April Showers Bring May Flowers.

Vacation: I suppose I may go to Amsterdam first for the solstice party there in june, then figure out where to go from there. If not I may stick around until July. Once, I missed my plane to Paris, where i was meant to stay on for a month. Instead, I went grocery shopping, bought enough food for a four weeks, and in my house I stayed holed up alone, not leaving once, not even to go into the garden, keeping the shutters closed. It was odd: I went a bit crackers. I don't have a television or a radio in my home, and this was before we all had computers. It was a strange experience. Generally, I'm not a "traveller" as I have to do so much traveling for work, and I detest hotels and flying commercially. I'm not sure where I'll go.

Being eaten by an animal: Obviously, this is a challenging one, but I want to say an enormous whale, like in "Moby Dick."

Favourite Musical Duo: So many that I love. I'll have to go with DEAD CAN DANCE (Brenden Perry & Lisa Gerard) out of sheer respect for originality, and for all the memories....

Saddest, most beautiful album: No questions: TALK TALK, "Laughing Stalk." Second runner up, it's mate, "Spirit of Eden" (These two albums are "Fraternal twins" and go together. "Spirit of Eden" came first. It was such a disaster for the band, chronicling as it did lead singer Marc Hollis's rise from heroin addiction through spirituality, that it's follow up "Laughing Stalk," which was the band's last album, and certainly it's most beautiful, is particularly poignant.)

Dogs: I'm a "Dachshund Only" Man. I come from a "Dachshund Only" family of many, many generations. For me, there is no other breed.

Leftovers: I never eat leftovers.

Do any of you think that (Observant)) Christians and (Observant) Jews will ever understand that they are Brethren? I ask because, ultimately, these two Faiths will have to somehow come together in unity, or else face extinction (if Humanity itself lasts long enough.) I don't quite understand why it is that Enlightened people of these Faiths, of which there are so very many, don't seem to grasp that, in the Grand Scheme of Things, unity and unconditional acceptance between Christians and Jews is the only means to survive, and to integrally preserve the beauty and heritage of both Faiths.

That would be my hope.
