Wow, I was surprised to see this thread out again!

No, I was not aware that I had done so. I couldn't tell you from day to day what my post count was. I don't bother looking at them, but thanks for the congrats, just the same, Acc! :yh_bigsmi

Pinky likes to juggle carp, so I put this pic in my sig. Do you practice such cruelty to animals?

If I ever learned to juggle, I'd juggle cigarette packs for you so you could shoot arrows at them. Would I survive such a stunt?

Nomad told an amusing story in the Ask Accountable thread involving a wet dollar bill. You've never accepted a wet dollar as a tip, have you? :-3

Considering all your experiences, all the things you've learned through life, through trials & tribulations, through good luck and good times, through simple conversation with wise people, do you prefer maynaise or salad dressing?

Are you a screamer?

I don't see a picture in your sig line. I think you've finally lost it, Acc.

You would survive. Your hands might look like swiss cheese, but you would survive.

I have indeed accepted a wet dollar as a tip. 15 seconds in the microwave and it's good as new.

It depends on what I'm eating at the time.

Who was here first - you or Bullet?
My first experience with a discussion forum was a place called "Bolt." I can't recall how I stumbled across it, but I got into it, and really liked the idea, as the chat rooms were getting so lame. I got into a debate about gun control and hunting, and was getting bashed left and right and getting really irritated at being called stupid names and not debating, but just getting trolled. Then I came to realize that it was teen forum!! There wasn't a soul in the place over 18!! But I liked the idea so much, I figured there had to be lots more discussion forums out there so I googled "Disscussion forums." FG was about the 3rd or 4th one I checked out, and when I opened it up, there on the home page was a thread about a show on Animal Planet that I watch religiously. I replied, made an intro thread, and have been hooked ever since.

My intro thread was very controversial and hit something like 12 pages. I loved it!!

When Bullet saw how much I was enjoying it, he joined a few months later, but didn't last real long because he couldn't control his tongue.

Paul was convinced for months that I hated him for banning Bullet, which was kind of funny to me, because I had warned Bullet, "If you say that, they ARE going to ban you!!" He did it anyway. He now has his own forums that he visits, mostly biker ones, obviously.

But he still kind of keeps tabs on what goes on here through me, because so many people here care about him.

BR, we all know that you love animals. What is your most favorite and least favorite breeds of dogs?

cherandbuster wrote: BR, we all know that you love animals. What is your most favorite and least favorite breeds of dogs?
My most favorite breed is the golden retreiver. Beautiful, smart, loyal to a fault, and the only thing they live for is to please their owner. I grew up with goldens, as my grandfather always had one living on the farm. They all lived into their teens, and I have MANY wonderful memories about trekking through the woods with "Goldie" at my side.



I can't say I have a least favorite, but I am not fond of fluffy little yappy ankle-biters. Give me a big, huge, slobbery, rough and tumble dog any day.



My least favorite dog ever, was Alex. My ex-boyfriends dog. A yorkie mix that was as dumb as a bag of hair and would bite. No matter what I did with this dog, the idiot ex would un-do, and he never punished Alex for biting me. God I hated that dog.

BR, is there anything you would not do for love?

cherandbuster wrote: BR, is there anything you would not do for love?
That's kind of a vague question......

Is there anything I would not do for my husband or child whom I love more than my own life?? Could you specify a little more, please?

:yh_bigsmi :yh_coffee

Yeah, that question was kinda nebulous. Even if you had more caffeine, it would still be vague:)

So I'll ask a new one . . .

Have you done anything illegal in your past?

Uhh....yeah. Quite a few things, actually. :yh_blush

Good!

I don't trust anyone that hasn't:sneaky:

Which do you prefer: watching movies, watching television, or reading books?

Oh, good! I'm a voracious reader myself.

I haven't slept through the night in the past year.

Were you alone or with someone the last time you cried?

It was last night and I was at work, so I was with a whole BUNCH of people!!



I'll take all the cyber-hugs you've got!!! Thanks, Cher. :-4 :-6

How right do you think first impressions are?

cherandbuster wrote: How right do you think first impressions are?
Mine? Very accurate. I can size people up pretty quickly. In 16 years of bartending you learn to pay close attention to body language, expressions, tone of voice, eye contact, etc. For others? Not a clue.





You ask some good questions, Cher. You're obviously a very intelligent person.

Why thank you, BR! I am at least a very inquisitive person.

Do you apologize easily?

cherandbuster wrote: Why thank you, BR! I am at least a very inquisitive person.



Do you apologize easily?
No, I sure don't, and there are quite a few people here at FG that can attest to that, I'm ashamed to say.

BR, I firmly believe that it's a sign of strength to know your weaknesses.

*that would make a good bumper sticker*

Who was the last person you said "I love you" to?

My step-daughter.

How many times in your life were you in love with a man?

cherandbuster wrote: How many times in your life were you in love with a man?
Once.



The illusion I had of what love was, was completely shattered when I fell in love with Matt.

I know what you mean, BR. Your definition of love changes over time.

Who has a more dominant personality -- you or your beloved?

*by the way, BR, feel free to tell me to shut up and mind my own business. BTW, I would never ask a question that I would not answer*

Cher, if there's one thing you've GOT to know about me by now, it's that I would have no problem at all telling you enough is enough!!



Definitely Bullet has the dominant personality. We are equals in every way, but he has me wrapped. I'd do anything in this world for him. And I know that he feels the same.



By the way, I wouldn't say that my definition of love changed, it was just corrected. To what LOVE really means.

What would you like your life to be like in ten years?

cherandbuster wrote: What would you like your life to be like in ten years?
Had you asked me that 3 weeks ago, I'm sure my answer would have been entirely different. But today the answer is, I don't care, as long as Bullet is out of jail.

Life (and the S**T that happens in it) has a way of putting things into perspective, doesn't it?

Would you ever take an antidepressant medication? Or do you think that people should be able to pull themselves up by the bootstraps?

In answer to your first question, an unequivocal YES.



Actually, I never believed in antidepressants, and believed that attitude, a good outlook, and staying focused and positive was all anyone needed to overcome anything like this. Till the day I fell apart. About 3 or 4 days after we got the call from the Detroit PD that the prosecutor's office was going ahead with the case and pressing charges on Matt, it hit me. I woke up on a Sunday morning, and started bawling uncontrollably. I could not stop, I was hysterical. Matt called our doctor, because I would not get out of bed. I lay there and cried and cried for something like 6 hours. He tried everything he could to pull me out of it, but the thought of him going to prison for God knew how long just broke me.

The doctor insisted on seeing me the next morning, and put me on Paxil and Klonopin. I fully believe that being on the medication saved my life. While I resent having my moods dictated by a pill, and fully intend to get the hell off of them as soon as this whole thing is settled, I do not know what I would have done if I didn't have this medication.

That was a really good and honest answer.

Is there still that 1/2 bottle of John Daniels in your cabinet?

It's still there, untouched by me. I'll leave it there though, because when brothers stop by to check on me I like to have stuff on hand for them. I won't be going near it again.



(You call him "John" Daniels, too?)

Yup!

Glad it's still there, my friend.

Outside of your family, who is your favorite person in the world?

Tigersmeow. She's a member here so I don't want to give her real name. Been my dearest friend for something like 11 or 12 years. We shared everything when she still lived near me, we even worked together at an animal hospital. She went through my psycho-ex phase, and helped me with that, she has been there for me whenever I needed her for any reason, no matter how big or small. She listens to me, she is honest with me, and she has finally been blessed with getting pregnant after 11 years of trying. I love her like she's my own sister.

Do judge folks based on what you see? Or do you wait till you've gotten to know them a little bit?

I like to think I'm fairly open-minded about most things, but there are some bad traits that I possess. I'm homophobic and a bigot when it comes to certain "types." It takes a lot for a person to prove themselves to me. I don't trust easily, I'm critical, and suspicious. I don't give second chances very often, either.



But...no one can say I'm not honest with myself.

I would definatley have to say you are one of the most honest speaking persons I know.

I wouldn't have figured you for a homophobic though. :-2 sorry.
