1. If you could master one sport, what would it be?
Ice skating. I would love to gracefully glide like that.
2. When you make a major purchase, do you go with your gut instinct, or do you do research to make an informed decision?
We usually do a pretty fair amount of research. I say we — my husband does most of it.
3. There is an old kids’ game that says you can find out what your movie star name would be by using your middle name as your first name and the name of the street you grew up on as your last. What is your movie star name?
Lee Cane.
4. Would you rather give up your favorite music or your favorite food?
It would have to be pretty serious for me to do either. I suppose I could give up my favorite food if I absolutely had to, and I know I’d get used to it eventually, though I’d be pretty miserable at first. On the other hand, if someone took away all my music, they can’t take away the memories of it, so it would never be completely gone. Still, that’s not the same as being able to actually hear it.
5. There are two types of banana preferences. One is pristine yellow, almost to the point of being green; the other is spotty and more ripe. Which is your preference?
I like them best when they’re yellow and just getting spotted. But there is a small window of time before they get too spotted and lose some flavor.
6. Your favorite tree is?
I’m afraid I don’t know my trees very well, but I’d probably say an oak. Although a weeping willow is fascinating to me.
7. On a scale of 1-10, how tech savvy are you?
Maybe a 4.
8. Has H1N1 touched your family?
No, thankfully.
9. Are you an analytical person, or do you just accept things the way they are without questioning or scrutinizing?
I’m very analytical in some areas, but there are others that I accept as is.
10. Is your personality more like that of a dog, cat, or Koala?
What kind of personality does a koala have? I’ve never seen them do anything but sit in a tree and eat. I’m probably more like a cat.
11. Do you keep in touch with friends you made years ago?
Some. Not as much as I would like to or should.
12. You are checking out at a grocery store. In the express lane, there are more people than the regular lanes, but of course, their load is less than those in the regular lanes. Which lane do you choose (assuming you qualify for the express lane) and why?
The wrong one.
Stray Thoughts 
Oh, Barbara, I just had to laugh over that last one! LOL I always choose the “wrong” one too!
#1 – I so enjoyed watching ice skating when I was growing up. It’s not the same anymore. I miss Dorothy Hamill and Janet Lynn. They were so elegant and graceful(and more modest!).
#3 is a real winning name for me for sure –
Ann Old Bethlehem!? 🙂 Yours isn’t too bad, although I would change the spelling of Lee to Leigh. Lee Cane “looks like” a man’s name.
Love your last answer….me too sister!
I would give up my favorite food loooooooong before I would give up my praise music!
From your description… I just MIGHT be a koala! LOL!
For purchases hubby is our researcher too, while I usually go with my gut and all too often how it looks. LOL.
Ha, great answers! I love the picture at the top of your blog. My favorite tree! 🙂 Maple
Great answers my friend 🙂
Lol, “the wrong one.” I always seem to choose the wrong lane too.
Ice skating is wonderful! (Hockey anyone?) My mother taught figure skating and competed as a girl (in Canada). Of course, she got us involved as children too, and I spent countless hours at the local indoor ice rink (Vancouver).
I remember the zamboni (great word) cleaning and re-icing the rink. Where I now live (in the PNW, US) there are no indoor rinks anymore. A fav. blogger (Buffy) just posted a link to photos of +10 outdoor rinks in London, UK. Wow!
Get some skates, girl!
I share your knack for getting in the wrong line! It gives me more time to exercise self-restraint (no candy or cookbooks for me!)
I like bananas that are yellow with slightly greenish colour…
Does ANYONE get in the right lane at the store? Or just the people in front of the rest of us?!
I enjoyed reading your answers. I agree to you, ice skating looks very graceful. What a witty answer for no.12 :). Have a wonderful week.
#2 — that’s why I have Amoeba!
#10 — if all a Koala does is sit & eat, maybe I should go change my answer …..
#12 — identical! LOL!
#12-LOL, me too!!!!
I hope God helps you on your diet before it is too late for you. Prayer, healthy exercise and real Christian values will help shed those pounds.
I feel better, I see I’m not the only one that chooses the wrong line at the store!
That last answer was too funny, Barbara! That would invariably be me, too!!! 🙂
AND I love your movie star name! It sounds like a real one! Movie star name, that is!
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! ((HUGS))
#9 I like this question and its Ans. Are you an analytical person, or do you just accept things the way they are without questioning or scrutinizing?
Ans:
I’m very analytical in some areas, but there are others that I accept as is.
Um, Barbara, I happened to come upon that comment up there supposedly made by me (Mary at Civilla’s Cyber Cafe) when I googled my blog’s name today and followed a trail of comments. THAT COMMENT WAS NOT MADE BY ME. My blog and comments were hijacked back in November, and that comment was made by somebody other than me. I would NEVER say something so unkind. I’m sorry if this hurt you. By the way, you don’t look overweight at all. I can’t imagine why that person said that.
