Question game

[gtmac]

2 brothers, 1 older, 1 younger. My parents also cared for 8 Foster daughters over the years.

Do you want to have kids/do you have kids? If so, how many?

[youngblade]

o_o kinda a personal question dontcha think?

[gtmac]

For some, yes. For others, not so much.

I may have missed something. Is this thread called the "Non-Personal Question Game"?

[Fencergrl]

You haven't missed a thing m'dear.

To answer your question, no I haven't any children. Something that surprises everyone in my family as I'm very nurturing. Instead I mother every creature that becomes part of our household... dogs cats, chickens... you name it.

What is your ancestry/ country of origin?

[Zilverzmurfen]

What is your ancestry/ country of origin?

Sweden, duh!

(I could have had 'foreign' roots, but I'm actually very swedish. )


Not feeling very inspirational; Same question as above to the next poster!

[RITFencing]

My dad's family is from Ireland, my mom's is from Germany. I'm like a third or fourth gen American, though, so I guess I'll pick that.

When was the last time something creeped the hell out of you?

[fencingfrog]

that happens alot to me.
probably when i realized i never really said goodbye to some people i knew, and all 3 groups of people were moving away within a week of each other. oh, and they were all blond, too.

[JackOfHearts]

What question do you think fencingfrog would've asked?

[I_luv_saber]

What question should I ask? maybe..

Have you ever wanted to just scream at a situation?

[JackOfHearts]

I have had several such moments in the past couple of weeks. -_-


Ever wanted to quit your job, pack your bags, and start afresh somewhere else?

[sabreur]

Yes.

Have you ever actually done it (quit your job, packed your bags and gone somewhere else to start anew)?

[Zilverzmurfen]

Have you ever actually done it (quit your job, packed your bags and gone somewhere else to start anew)?

No.


Where would you go if you were to "quit your job, packed your bags and gone somewhere else to start anew"?

[gtmac]

St. Louis, Missouri

How isolated do you feel today?

[Zilverzmurfen]

How isolated do you feel today?

I don't feel isolated at all.


When was the last time you went abroad?

[sabreur]

I don't know if it really counts as "abroad," but the last time I visited another country was when I was in Ystad about three weeks ago...

What is the strangest place you've ever visited?

[Fencergrl]

We came across this fairly isolated island while traveling on our boat. This guy built a “castle” out of concrete blocks and served breakfast and did tours for “tourists” (we were the only ones there).

He showed us his cheesy “gun towers” c/w fake guns… this is Canada eh? The equally cheezy dungeon and the “Bridal suite” c/w two twin beds!

He had about 6 mock-ups of his dream palace he had done prior to building (which he felt compelled to show us each one)…. For some reason his wife left him years ago.

Does anyone else have any strange place/ people stories?

[gtmac]

Strange people stories? Sure. Once I was on this fencing related forum and there was this cougar...

j/k...Strange places? I was on the back roads of Tennessee and came to a t in the road. The place was pretty desolate. There were two houses a lot of open grass and a tiny general store/post office. We hadn't seen anothera car for an hour and aside from the elderly operator of the general store, there wasn't a soul around. Even so, right before the t there was a sign on the side of the road that read "Congested Area".

How many cars have you owned?

[Fencergrl]

I'm on my second. My first lasted 16 years before I sold it. Although my husband is putting together a "fleet" in preparation for retirement.

Are you your own mechanic?

[Zilverzmurfen]

Are you your own mechanic?

I guess so. Although about the only 'mechanical' work I do is fixing my épées.


Which is your favourite household 'chore'?

[ParryRiposte]

Feeding my horses, if you count that as a "household chore."

Ever fed a horse?
