Never ending discussion-Part IV

Depending on the time of the year, it comes up
either behind the stand of trees outside the picture
window overlooking my garden or back near the
corner of the kitchen. It is particularly lovely
coming up through the trees.

Which type of heating system have you found
seems to produce the most dust?

 

Nope, The computer and the desk it sits on belong to Dan. Plus the desk is extremely large and heavy.

Any advise on how to get children to mind?

 

My kitchen, living room, one bedroom, and both bathrooms are wallpapered.

Carpet or hardwood floors?

 

Hardwood with a few rugs. But I like to see the wood. And it's worth the dry mopping every day.

Q: Do you have a special place in your house that's just for you?

 

We bought a house with curtains already there. We painted the house and the curtains just looked like they wanted to stay.

Do you hand was your vehicles or take it to the car wash?

 

Only when I put my calculator on my desk.

Are you on Spring Break?

 

My grandchildren's spring break begins today, but
they live in another district. I will find out if my
area's students have spring break now by how
many times we have to tell them to get off our
garage roof. I hate doing it -- it looks tacky --
but we are putting up "Posted: No Trespassing"
signs on the garage today. I tried to grow black
berries at the corner they climb, but it seems they
will grow anywhere but where one wants them!

I need a new dictionary. I already know what I will
be buying, (Oxford, American edition), but what is
your favorite?

 

We use the Webster's New World Dictionary.


Have you ever shoplifted?

 

No. I was a pretty honest and non-rebellious. kid. I'm still honest.

Q: Have you ever wanted to?

 

Want to? Did do. I ran around with some pretty rough 3rd and 4th graders. I was the preacher's kid and all their daddies were deacons. One day we knocked over a grocery store. We lifted some bubble gum and wax lips. We almost got out of the store.


For all you librarians, if there were no more books as of tomorrow, what would you do with your spare time?

 

TAKE IT BACK! That's just a cruel statement.
I'm not a librarian librarian, but I do love books, although I rarely have time to read much over the last, uh, 8 years. Interesting how that just *happens* to coincide with the birth of my first child!

I would simply start writing them, so there.

What is THE most boring book you've ever read? (I personally vote for the compiled works of Shakespheare or however you spell his name)

Gina

 

well, i am an agatha christie fan, so i thought i would read her biography...it was so boring i didn't finish it. and i will read almost anything!!

(how could anyone find shakespeare boring )

still on books...what type of book do you prefer to read? fiction, non-fiction, biograpy etc?

 

Shakespear is more fun when you can get other people to read the other parts. I find him greatly interesting and very humourous for the most part, it's also fun to see how he uses scripture often in his works...but it is hard to read a story that is written in play format alone.

For stricly entertainment purposes...I prefer reading fiction.

Do you prefer buying hardbacks, buying softcovers or borrowing from the library?

 

i will buy both hardback and softback books. which ever is available at the time. i mainly buy books related to my studies as i find the university library rather inadequate...30 of us after 1 copy is no joke. i do use the library, mainly to read while i am there or photocopy a chapter if i don't want to /can't afford to buy the book in question.

do you play games like scrabble?

 

No, I hate Scrabble with a purple passion I am terrible at it. My husband loves it though. I prefer games of chance to games requiring mental acuity. "Uno" and "Sorry" are my favorite games.

Do you draw?
