IT'S FRIDAY NIGHT, SO THAT MEANS IT'S SURVEY TIME AGAIN, DOGGERS!
Submitted by Bill Sue Angel ... on July 8, 2016 - 7:44pmI posted a survey last Friday night, as I used to do for about six years, a long time ago, before all our bullies went to The Bridge. We've been bull-less for a while now, so we haven't been on the site as much. And, a lot of folks have come and gone and everything changes with time. But, it was fun to hear from a few of you and I hope to pick up a few more of you this week. So, as a matter of explanation, I'll post the questions and all you have to do is "copy" and "paste" them to a new post and answer them as honestlly as you wish. Then, the real fun starts: we all get to see each others' responses and make even more comments. It's a way to get a little more familiar with folks and I've never had an objection. Anyway, here's this week's questions. You have all weekend to answer (That's why I post it on Friday nights). Ready?
What's on the top shelf of your closet?
It's midnight! What are you raiding the fridge for as a snack?
Finish the sentence: Life is full of _____________.
What family traits have been handed down to you (Dad's nose? Grandma's brow? Uncle Fred's big feet?)?
Four words to describe why you threw up?
When is the last time you burned yourself?
Name a person you can't take your eyes off?
What's the farthest you've ever gone on a dare?
Do you know your blood type? What is it?
Who do you talk to the most on the phone?
What's different about you now, than five years ago? (And don't say something stupid like, "I'm older".)
Have you ever been a hitchhiker? What was that all about? Tell! Tell!
Who was your best friend in high school?
Describe your shower/bath in three words!

What family traits have been handed down to you (Dad's nose? Grandma's brow? Uncle Fred's big feet?)?
I look a LOT like my Mom, but I have my father's sense of humor. I wish I had gotten his smarts..
Four words to describe why you threw up?
Too many screwdrivers and vodka! [I haven't touched a screwdriver since high school! Lol]

Cooking. I do it all the time. You'd think I'd remember that ovens get hot!

My beau. He has amazing hazel eyes.
Olivia
Hmmmmm....
Half of my survey disappeared. I'm nonplussed!
Thanks For the blast from the past Mr. Bill!
Olivia

n/a
So glad this is back!
Thanks!
Girlfriend, it has been TOOOOOO long!!!
How in tarnation are you?! I surely miss you dear lady:-). Hugs!!
Amy and Sophia
Howdy, Ames!
It's been an interesting few years! lol I see you're still into your horses (no surprise there).
When I can figure out how (no, I haven't gotten anymore computer savvy), I'll post a pic of my new boy. I lost Q last year from a cardiac tumor. My boy Eldo (Bonanza's El Dorado) came into my life to fill it with bulldog snorts, snuffles, and snores.
Olivia
Aw Rotti, so sorry about Q.
I lost Sophie on May 4th this year. I am still heart sick, but am coming to terms with it all. It was a sad thing, that's for danged sure. I lost my German Shepard girl, Millie, in January, so this hasn't been such a great year for my girls, but overall it's ok now.
I have 28 horses! Yikes! Lots of rescues the past 2 years, all are darling, well, and happy. Cant get better than that:-)
Hugs to you, cant wait to see pics of Eldo:-)
Amy and Sophia
Rotti Girl,,,,I have to comment
on two of your answers---
I also burn myself ALL. THE. TIME when cooking! Argggh!
I'm also VERY clumbsy and run into edges of tables, chairs, corners of cabinets....I SWEAR they all JUMP OUT at me...LOL!
.......
And, my hubby also has amazing hazel eyes.....Sweet! :-)
What makes his eyes even more special is that he has SEVEN sibings, and all seven have brown eyes, as did their Mom.
Only hubby and his Dad "got" the hazel eyes, AND on top of that, my hubby had blonde hair as a baby, which is rare in Hispanics (well,
as far as I know).

I remember Meaty. The other two are adorabull, too!
