Sun, 27 May 2012 01:00:57 -0700

Do you honestly like yourself?

I do. I think I'm a genuinely awesome person but I have room to improve on myself. I think it's the same for everyone. It just depends on where your focus is being placed at the time.

Answer to Do you like SHERLOCK HOLMES ??? Tell me why

Sun, 27 May 2012 00:49:38 -0700

Do you like SHERLOCK HOLMES ??? Tell me why

Aside from references made to Holmes and Moriarty in Star Trek Enterprise I don't really even know who Holmes is besides a detective that solves cases. Seems alright, but I don't know enough about the character to actually like or dislike him.

Answer to what do you thin about IRAN ????

Sun, 27 May 2012 00:33:56 -0700

what do you thin about IRAN ????

I think it's a country situated in the Middle East. They should be watched, but they retain their own level of sovereignty and I'm about damn tired of us ignoring that for others. Would Iran surrounded by an anti-missile defense shield pose a danger to the immediate area? Hardly. *I* say let...

Answer to What is the worst computer virus you've ever had?

Sun, 27 May 2012 00:18:04 -0700

What is the worst computer virus you've ever had?

Haven't had one. My other computer had no problems either, before it became outdated and I got the mac. I guess you could consider me lucky.

Sat, 26 May 2012 23:38:48 -0700

Do you know anyone who wears an eyepatch just to try and "look cool", not because of an eye injury? ~

I used to work with a woman who wore a pirate eye patch.. skull and crossbones and everything. Wasn't missing an eye, didn't have any damage to the eye.. just liked to wear it. She was awesome though so she could pull it off.

Answer to What state did the American Civil War split?

Sat, 26 May 2012 01:50:20 -0700

What state did the American Civil War split?

Virginia. The Mother of Presidents in this country. When you think about it Virginia lost a lot of territory since the colonial era. DC was even a gift of Virginia's territory. West Virginia though.. last big chunk to lose but forgive and forget. We'll welcome them back into the fold any...

Answer to What role does the ukulele play within its culture?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:57:40 -0700

What role does the ukulele play within its culture?

It's a symbol of musical merriment as far as I'm aware. If it has some deeper spiritual role, you'll have to ask a Hawaii native. :) EDIT: Another answer you received was helpful in part as well. In the 19th century, the immigrants from Portugal brought the Ukulele to Hawaii to be a small...

Answer to When's the last time you changed a baby's diaper?

My sister, when I was younger. Less than a decade ago, but not by too much.

Answer to when natural disaster occurs we all wept, but we are also building weapons of mass destruction, inventing more mega disaster.

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:53:32 -0700

when natural disaster occurs we all wept, but we are also building weapons of mass destruction, inventing more mega disaster.

Potential disaster as opposed to a disaster we have no control over. Nowhere to direct our anger to. At this time it's practically a necessity to have that card in your hand. It keeps the big boys from getting aggressive. I highly doubt we would have invaded Iraq if they had weapons of mass...

Answer to ghost are real or not please tell me . if they are real than help me to get rid of these ghosts please help me and ans me :(

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:50:01 -0700

ghost are real or not please tell me . if they are real than help me to get rid of these ghosts please help me and ans me :(

I do not feel ghosts are real so I wouldn't know where to help you get rid of them. Just don't start throwing your money around to people promising to get rid of "them". It's stupid.

Answer to What's the fastest speed you've driven in a car?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:47:10 -0700

What's the fastest speed you've driven in a car?

Just a hair over 100. It was a Maserati and I was working in repossession helping out a friend at the time. One very long open road in the middle of the country. Hours away from where I had to be. Of course I pushed it.

Answer to Should the people who did this to a baby, be punished? (See video from CNN)

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:42:49 -0700

Should the people who did this to a baby, be punished? (See video from CNN)

I saw. Joking or not the child was injured. At the least I would hope the state would be paying close watch to the parents for a long while, as to their care of their child. You don't joke around with a kid and throw it in a washing machine. You don't do that because common sense tells you it's a...

Answer to There are rumors going around that the New England Patriots might be moving. Have you heard such rumors?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:39:55 -0700

There are rumors going around that the New England Patriots might be moving. Have you heard such rumors?

I've read the news and heard about the rejection. I doubt they would be moved. He wouldn't get away with fan anger over that one and he would be losing money as well. That's New England territory. There's identity there and there's no reason to take that away. The town folks have every right to...

Answer to I'm pizza man delivery. How much do you tip? Which Pizza crust do you like best?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:32:42 -0700

I'm pizza man delivery. How much do you tip? Which Pizza crust do you like best?

As they don't make pizza here like they do in Chicago I settle for a medium crust and a loaded pizza. I tip 5 dollars. Usually. If I'm feeling crazy I'll tip more. So, for a 10 dollar or so pizza that's far more than a 10% tip. Traffic here is a nightmare at times and it's ignorant not to tip...

Answer to What are some movies with a dark atmosphere to them but aren't scary?

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:30:07 -0700

What are some movies with a dark atmosphere to them but aren't scary?

Bram Stoker's Dracula. I guess it would depend on your tolerance threshold for horror in a movie, but mine is pretty high so I can watch whatever. Evil Dead... FANTASTIC movie, very suspenseful.. but deliberately comedic at times as well.

Answer to So there's this girl I really like. I don't know her i mean i had a class and said nothing to her. anyways she wrote on my Facebook wall

Thu, 24 May 2012 01:24:58 -0700

So there's this girl I really like. I don't know her i mean i had a class and said nothing to her. anyways she wrote on my Facebook wall

I don't see her doing anything outside the ordinary in wishing you a happy birthday. My advice would be to find a way to talk to her in person and get your feelings out there. If she's single, ask her out on a date. Simple. Either she says yes or rejects you, and that happens so you'll lick your...

Answer to 3 guys pay 10000 each for watch watch is only 25000 Cashier keeps 2000 gives each 1000 9000x3=27000+2000=29000 Where is 1000

Wed, 23 May 2012 17:33:23 -0700

3 guys pay 10000 each for watch watch is only 25000 Cashier keeps 2000 gives each 1000 9000x3=27000+2000=29000 Where is 1000

Watch is 25000. Each paid 10000 towards the watch. The combined total is 30000. After giving out 1000 to each of them the cashier would be left with 27000. The cashier cheated them out of 2000 and pocketed it for him or herself.

I've been contemplating The Hulk which is 1 part Midori, 1 part Absinth and 3 parts Mountain Dew.. topped with a kiwi slice. It could be called something else but it sounds friggin delicious.

Answer to Do you like your present job? If so, why?

Wed, 23 May 2012 08:21:51 -0700

Do you like your present job? If so, why?

I love my present job and I'm moving up rather quickly which makes me very happy as well. I get to do what I love most and interact with people. Admittedly I am a bit spoiled but I don't take advantage of that. They get their worth out of me. Every cents worth.

Answer to Do you find that when you get paid the paycheck seems to dwindle down really quickly? Is this annoying for you?

Wed, 23 May 2012 08:18:14 -0700

Do you find that when you get paid the paycheck seems to dwindle down really quickly? Is this annoying for you?

It's even worse when you first start out investing in your retirement. A month or so now and I'm managing to shuffle things along and squeeze out more money in other areas. But yes, I do notice that I can be a bit of a spendthrift shortly after I get paid. Which is why I set aside a set amount...

Answer to If you had 3 hours to die...what way would you pick to die?

Wed, 23 May 2012 08:01:30 -0700

If you had 3 hours to die...what way would you pick to die?

These sound very painful. I wouldn't want to be asleep. I want to meet death while I'm awake, not have it take me when I'm unconscious. Lying in bed, fading away would be acceptable to me. At least I could experience the entire process.

Answer to Why do some women often not flush their waste in public restrooms?! What are they thinking? That the janitors are beneath them?

Wed, 23 May 2012 07:59:13 -0700

Why do some women often not flush their waste in public restrooms?! What are they thinking? That the janitors are beneath them?

I've cleaned women's restrooms before.. I know what to expect. From my experience, and this may be a shocker, men are far cleaner than women when it comes to using the restroom. I've seen feminine products thrown in the trash can or the can used for baby diapers.. not the feminine product can...

Answer to if you could be a werewolf,vampire,or a ghost, which would you choose? (i'm gonna go with ghost)

Wed, 23 May 2012 07:49:38 -0700

if you could be a werewolf,vampire,or a ghost, which would you choose? (i'm gonna go with ghost)

Werewolf-You go beast and can tear up your loved ones. The upside is you get to eat and drink and be a relatively normal person when the full moon isn't out. But I would be too afraid to live as one, not having any control over that beast form and doing a lot of damage throughout my lifetime. ...

Do you think my hand will scar horribly? I think it will! Picture included. http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/5894/snapshot201205151.jpg

There will probably be some scarring, but they will fade with time. My left hand was pinned into the steering wheel of a tractor I was driving when I lived in Tennessee. I was just moving it and had never driven a tractor before and the back tire ran over a pole and sat on it pinning it to my...

Answer to Are there bisexual people who are BORN that way? Or do they choose that lifestyle?

Tue, 22 May 2012 04:23:11 -0700

Are there bisexual people who are BORN that way? Or do they choose that lifestyle?

I feel that most bisexuals are born bisexuals. A very very very small percentage of men and women will experiment with the same sex and not identify as bisexual. I believe that members of the LGBT community are born the way they are. That "choice" many people drag on about can't be removed...

Answer to The NAACP now supports same-sex marriage. It's a matter of civil rights. They don't want to legalize prejudice. Is it civil rights to you?

Tue, 22 May 2012 04:01:18 -0700

The NAACP now supports same-sex marriage. It's a matter of civil rights. They don't want to legalize prejudice. Is it civil rights to you?

John Lewis, who still bears the scars he received while marching from Selma to Montgomery, once wrote: “I’ve heard the reasons for opposing civil marriage for same-sex couples. Cut through the distractions, and they stink of the same fear, hatred and intolerance I have known in racism and...

Answer to Do you ever worry about the condition of your soul?

Tue, 22 May 2012 03:47:37 -0700

Do you ever worry about the condition of your soul?

No. I don't personally feel we have one. I would hope that should an entity exist, it would understand and respect me for being who I am, acting exactly the way I do and believing what I choose to believe. I don't have any regrets in choosing not to believe in or worship a god.

It isn't about who is smart and who is dumb. Both sides have their own solutions to the same problems and both sides create more pursuing those solutions. This site has an interesting split on many of the positions both sides would take on the issues:...

Answer to Why do so many Middle Eastern Men mistreat women so much? Is their religion to blame?

Mon, 21 May 2012 17:09:08 -0700

Why do so many Middle Eastern Men mistreat women so much? Is their religion to blame?

I don't know enough about Islam to comment. I do know that under Sharia law a woman's voice is less than that of a man's, and I find that VERY disturbing. I have books on the topic and I've been mulling over how to approach the subject with Muslims in the area but it's something I have to find...

Sun, 20 May 2012 10:31:04 -0700

Are you allergic to anything..I'm not..except book mould will sometimes make my eyes water?

Penicillin and bee/wasp/hornet stings. I could die if stung so I can get a little nerve wracked when the bees are out. Haven't discovered any other allergies.. yet. :S

Sun, 20 May 2012 10:08:38 -0700

How the HECK are you today this Sunday everyone? Did your day start out well?

It's really weird. I went to bed early and everything but could only manage to get a few short naps in there before waking up. A little tired but too awake to go to bed. I figure another nap is in order later on but I got stuff to do today. It's going fairly well. :)

Is there a decent eating place in your neighborhood?

There's a Greek family restaurant up the street I love going to. Some of the best food in the area. I'll count it as my favorite. There's also a lot of places off the potomac to eat at as well. A local favorite is called Tim's River Shore, but it's becoming a bit commercialized and losing focus...

Sun, 20 May 2012 09:35:32 -0700

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker solidly winning in a recall election. Democracy may prevail over union goons?

June 5th. Until then it's all conjecture. A paper I've seen slammed by negative reviews lately doesn't impress me. Neither does a poll or two from this University or that town. It doesn't encompass the whole state. Anyone with any investment in the man, say the Koch brothers, are probably...

Sat, 19 May 2012 19:10:53 -0700

Your cell phone rings. Who do you wish is calling? Who do you hate will be the one calling you?

A friend, family member. It's always a pleasant surprise when someone calls out of the blue. My boss. It usually means I have a meeting to go to or more projects to add to what I'm working on at the moment. It's not too big of a deal, but when I don't have work it isn't uncommon that I'll talk...

What is your favorite movie that is about ghosts?

13 Ghosts. The remake with Tony Shalhoub. Great movie that I never tire of seeing. :) EDIT: Here's another one I really like as well. It's called Ghost Ship. Lots of action. Gabriel Byrne plays the Captain and is a favorite of mine. Here's a trailer for those who haven't seen it:

Sat, 19 May 2012 18:25:24 -0700

what would you do alone, stuck at home for the night, no friends and 20 years old

I'm terribly boring when I'm alone. I would clean the place, do laundry and probably work out before getting myself cleaned up and in bed. Then I'd either watch some movies, play some xbox or get online and browse some websites.

Are there roommates out there who're okay with others having pets in the house? Wold yo be ok with it?

I have a snake.. I can tolerate a cat, but nothing more. My parents have dogs. I have one dog that they have. I don't keep dogs in my place. Especially since I rent and have never owned my own place. They tear it up, make a mess of the yard and shed everywhere. Cats are bad but can be kept up...

Answer to Why does the movie theater smell bad?

Sat, 19 May 2012 18:20:32 -0700

Why does the movie theater smell bad?

Some of the patrons don't have the best hygiene, don't care to be clean about their use of the facilities and think the entire establishment is a giant trash can. I worked in a movie theatre when I was younger. Some are kept in great order but I have noticed more than a few that needed to be...

Answer to Are love and hate different aspects of the same emotion? Do you sometimes hate the one you love?

Sat, 19 May 2012 17:57:14 -0700

Are love and hate different aspects of the same emotion? Do you sometimes hate the one you love?

Hate is fear. It has no purpose. It is a reaction. Love is an intense and rewarding attachment. I don't see how pairing the two would be possible. Hating them is another thing entirely though.

What makes you rage?

On a video game kick for some reason. Playing online with a team of people and having people rage quit at about the halfway mark of the match. It shifts weight onto the other players and a lot of the time it has a domino affect as well. One person quits, another quits, another quits and before...

Well done. A little burnt is fine on the edges.. I'll cut them off if necessary. I can supplement the dryness of the steak with some A-1 or Heinz-57. Egg yolk works well actually. Thanks Paris for teaching me that lesson. I can't STAND red in my steak. I think raw and my stomach turns. It has...

Who would your "dream date with an AB member" be?

If anyone, JayDee says Rawr and I were close for a long while. I miss talking to him at times, but this is why we call it a "dream date".. it probably won't happen. ;(.. I'm content catching a fish here and there in the meanwhile. lol :)

Fri, 18 May 2012 08:26:28 -0700

All male committee meet to discuss abortion laws in D.C. & don't allow DC's only rep, a woman speak. Does this make sense?

Of course it doesn't, but when have Republicans shown a care for what women and the Supreme Court feel is their constitutional right? The only reason they aren't banning them entirely is because they know they'd get their ass handed to them by the courts and they still might! :)

What is the biggest threat to human survival?

That's probably what would do us in. War, famine.. we spring back from it relatively quickly. The bubonic plague.. correct me if I'm wrong here, it only took a few hundred years to bounce the population right back up to what it was before and even improve on that.. and with the average life...

Labrador... Playful, loyal, all around good pets. Poodles I'm sure have their positives but I personally am not a fan of having a pet I'd have to sheer every so often. Orrrr, you could get an American Bulldog. About the cutest damn thing in the world. I have one and his name is Leonidas. :)

Answer to Why do Americans call chips "French fries"? None of the chips I've ever had were French, they were all made in England.

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:50:59 -0700

Why do Americans call chips "French fries"? None of the chips I've ever had were French, they were all made in England.

From what I can remember there were writings referring to french fried foods.. which pretty much referred to everything fried.. and as lazy as we are we just shortened it and applied it to the fried potato. Interesting question. We DO have chips.. they're thin and crispy. What do y'all call...

Answer to Which is more sensible, to believe in God or to believe in aliens?

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:45:42 -0700

Which is more sensible, to believe in God or to believe in aliens?

Alien life is more probable than some supreme deity floating in the sky. How COULD we be the only intelligent life in the galaxy? I refuse to believe we are. How terribly depressing would that be?

What is the largest amount of money you have paid for a Motel/Hotel Room? Mine was in North Dakota $150 per night. We stayed one night and 2 bottles of Dom Perignon!

A few hundred bucks.. anything more and someone else was paying for it. What I'd REALLY like to do is take a cruise. It's all my co-workers prattle on about when summer approaches.

Fri, 18 May 2012 07:36:52 -0700

Do you steer clear of controvercial topics because you get angry - even when you could help affect change?

In normal conversation? A lot of the time it's about being polite. I tolerate another person's view and only chirp in if I'm asked for mine. I actually have to be asked, otherwise I wait for whoever it may be to finish up their lecture so we can move onto something else. I don't get angry. In...

Answer to Would you mind telling me your thoughts on death? An inevitability that we all face, especially with a mother dying, huh?

Fri, 18 May 2012 02:10:40 -0700

Would you mind telling me your thoughts on death? An inevitability that we all face, especially with a mother dying, huh?

I lost my mother when I was young. That hasn't impacted my belief that death is the end... When we die we cease to exist and for some people I feel that that is a great mercy, as hard as that may be to say. I fear death. I don't want to die. I know it is inevitable, but I don't want to cease to...

Back in the early 60s, I saw a movie (I was a kid) at a drive-in. Anyone recognize this scene (see description)?

Believe it or not I've been looking for the last 40 minutes or so for that movie. Checking every site I frequent to see if it was posted and labeled with the title of the movie. Unfortunately I didn't see anything that mentioned the scene you mention. Some came close, but none so far. I have...

Boy Finds Finger in Sandwich, employee had cut finger off with the meat slicer & they keep serving, is this what society is coming to?

I read the article. Apparently she didn't scream or anything. The crew didn't know and they just continued the order. I'm not surprised. I understand how they wouldn't see the finger trying to rush it out the window.. it's still pretty freaky. What's even more freaky is I probably would have had...

Thu, 17 May 2012 07:39:44 -0700

Are you a supporter of what some claim is marriage as described in the Bible?

No. Marriage was here before the Bible. We made both up so we have every right to make changes when necessary. This attempt to define marriage as between one man and woman is nothing more than an attempt to impose religious views on the majority. Our constitution protects us from the tyranny of...

How good a driver are you?

My friends think of me as a grandma driver. I follow the speed limit, keep a large amount of space between my car and the car in front of me and always pay attention to what's going on outside the vehicle. It's saved me from a lot of accidents and the cops leave me alone. About the only time...

I actually hate Facebook. The only reason I have it is to keep in touch with friends and family. Answerbag is fun because we have a community here willing to talk about some of the most off-the-wall topics. You don't often see that on Facebook and when you do it's a power trip for likes. ...

Answer to Lucid dreaming

Thu, 17 May 2012 04:58:39 -0700

Lucid dreaming

My perspective on dreaming is a bit different. It's like my conscious mind is being taken over by the subconscious. I'm a participant but it's deciding what I do and when I do it. I just do the action and "think" more about it during the dream. Some of course are just pure emotion. I've heard...
