59. i think i lot of us have italy on our wish lists
I haven't been back there since I had progspawn. I can't decide if I want to wait 'til he's old enough to appreciate it, or leave him with his grandparents for a few days (where he would no doubt have a blast!) and head there just the two of us.

Mine...
1. What color sheets are on your bed?

They're pink/purple/mauvish (?). Or maybe they're red. Dunno. I'm not sure which of the 900000 sheets we have are on there right now.

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?

I think it's good if you can, but it's not necessary. I'm not sure if I'll consider law a "passion" -- constitutional issues, sure. But I'll find a niche in which I'm happy.

3. Are you in love?

Yep. :loveya:

4. If you have a lawn, do you mow it yourself?

My duplex has a microlawn, but the other tenants are responsible for mowing it.

5. Who sent you your last PM?

Jukes?

6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?

Aviva. We met at the beginning of kindergarten, and we're still in touch. We see each other 1-2X a year.
My other childhood best friend, Theresa, was recently unearthed via Google, and we correspond infrequently.

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?

Japan? Barcelona? Both of those are on our list.

8. How often do you send people flowers?

Almost never.

9. What color is your kitchen?

Beige, with brown cabinets. Not much we can do about it.

10. What are you planning to have for lunch?

I think I'm going to get a salad.

:hi:

4. 1. Beige - I think
2. I think being passionate about what you do for a living will make you a happier person. Or rather you should make your passion your means of making a living.
3. yes
4. Yes
5. Coastie for Truth
6. Not still in touch with him. Last I heard he's living in the woods of NC
7. Antarctica
8. Rarely...It's been a couple years at least since I last did that
9. White and beige - again I think. I'm a sterotypical man when it comes to noticing things like color shades
10. Chicken and green beans.

5. 1. Sort of a sage green
2.I think it's probably better to be passionate about what you do for a living. While it might be easier to burn out, I think most times it's great.

4. No lawn.

5. Swag

6. Hmmmm probably Joel, and sadly no.

7. Russia.

8. Send them? Almost never. Give them? Very often.

9. White.

10. Brains. Au juice.

7. Ten answers
1. What color sheets are on your bed?

Sage green

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?

Being passionate about what you do is the ideal but I don't think most people can attain that. Most of us have to compromise as to what we do because of practical concerns. I enjoy what I do and I get passionate about everything but it's not what I'd choose to do, given a choice.

3. Are you in love?

Yes.

4. If you have a lawn, do you mow it yourself?

No lawn but if I had one, yes I would.

5. Who sent you your last PM?

Droopy

6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?

I've known Pam since I was 8 years old and we still keep in touch.

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?

Italy.

8. How often do you send people flowers?

Rarely, though I recently sent some to a friend in thanks for a favor.

9. What color is your kitchen?

White with a pale green trim.

10. What are you planning to have for lunch?

Perhaps a bit of meat and cheese. Not sure.

76. Still haven't had it
It's just noon here in sunny Cal and I've just come in from a stimulating round of physical therapy. The jury is still out but I'm leaning toward a mango, a couple of slices of Virginia ham and a mozzarella stick.

79. One of the things I learned when I was a perpetual student...
is to *never* skimp on bedding and matresses... Hard vinyl mattress covers
ruined my shoulders.

I send lots of flowers! Except, Mom has requested I don't send them to
her any more... So, now she gets a fruit basket!

11. .
1. What color sheets are on your bed?
- 'Nilla Yellowish

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?
- I love writing; I do the researching technical part for paying bills. My passion is finishing the family history and genealogy I've started. Also requires research and writing, but a different type.

3. Are you in love?
-Yup!

4. If you have a lawn, do you mow it yourself?
- Nope, reprehensor does it.

5. Who sent you your last PM?
- Beaverhausen

6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?
- Cathy Guthneck. Nope.

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?
- Pacific Northwest or Eastern Pennsylvania for more research.

8. How often do you send people flowers?
- When I can afford it and I'm feeling good. One of my cousins has been sad about it being the anniversary of her mom's death, so I sent her a happy basket about 2 weeks ago. She was tickled and almost in tears, saying no one had ever done that for her before! But my mom is getting squat for Mother's Day. We don't get along.

9. What color is your kitchen?
- Vanilla with ragged darker goldish color over it on the walls; white glossy cabinets. I did it all myself! :D

10. What are you planning to have for lunch?
- Not sure. Probably a taco salad from QDoba.

106. Thanks!
When I see the joy of all my cousins when I show them the first picture they've ever seen of their GGgrandmother or grandfather, or I can introduce them to some 2nd cousins who have lived nearby for years that they've never known before, it makes everything worthwhile! Several cousins in Alberta are starting to meet for coffee now!

And several little 80 year old ladies always wondered what happened to their cousins from their dad's side when he was killed back in 1936. I found them recently and shared all this information with them. They were SO thankful.

I REALLY like the detective work. I wanted to be Nancy Drew when I was young! We have an old article from a Wisconsin newspaper from years ago that outlined everything for me. But I adore this lady who wrote it, though she's been dead for almost 50 years. She had no idea how she planted the seed for the future generations to learn everything there is to know about the family!

reprehensor and I aren't having kids, so this is my contribution to the Smith progeny of the future.

18. Mine
1. What color sheets are on your bed?
Pink

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?
I think you should at least have some level of "like" for your job. Passion in your work is nice, but not always possible. Just don't do something you hate.

3. Are you in love?
Very much so.

4. If you have a lawn, do you mow it yourself?
Yes, a small one, but I live in a condo/townhouse, so I don't mow it myself.

5. Who sent you your last PM?
That's private message, right? I'll choose to be private. :D

6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?
I moved a number of times as a child, so not applicable. I have some contact with my best friend from high school though.

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?
I'd have a trip around the world for months.

8. How often do you send people flowers?
Rarely.

9. What color is your kitchen?

21. 10
1. Red

2. I could go either way - I've ended up, quite by accident, in a profession about which I'm very passionate, and I often wish I could have made my living doing something I can just forget about sometimes. I think this is surely one of those "the grass is always greener" things, though...

3. God help me, I might be. Which is very, very bad.

4. My landlord deals with the lawn, thankfully.

5. GinC

6. Guy named Bob, and no, I haven't seen him since we were 16.

7. I need to do the Europe thing.

8. Rarely. I think sending something that's going to wilt and die is strongly contrary to the intended sentiment.

9. White

10. I might skip lunch.

22. Tasteful grey and beige stripe, overall effect: Taupe
2. Try to be passionate in all areas of your life, no need to compartmentalize!

4. I mow the grass in my tiny urban garden with the same Wizard (TM) reel push mower my dad got used from the next door neighbors when they were newly married.
5. tjwmason--is anyone surprised? We're great pals!
6. Peter--I have run into him once or twice over the years and we talk about getting together on purpose, but it hasn't happened. All my best stories to age 10 involve Peter.
7. An apartment in Rome and use it as headquarters for radial trips to the crowned-head cities of Europe and Eastern Asia.
8. Only a couple times a year but I like doing it.
9. Terra cotta orange. Panic involving a sea sponge and a flitch brush but it turned out well.

Yep, with my wife. However, I have my doubts about whether it is reciprocated.

Yes. I mow the weeds once a week in season.
5. Who sent you your last PM?
Never gotten one.
6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?

Northern WI on a lake somewhere.

24. KDSUSA answers
1. Pale green

2. I'd love to be passionate about my job. Sadly, I'm not.

4. Yes, I mowed it yesterday

5. I don't do PMs

6. Varied, and I'm not in touch with anyone from my childhood (except family members)

7. Hmmm... New York or Rome

8. Rarely. My wife complains about the cost (even though we're not short on money. She just hates to spend). I pick up a small bouquet at the grocery store, which is about as much spending as she can tolerate and still feel like it was a worthwhile gesture. You'd have to know her, I guess.

9. Black and white with a red ceiling

10. No plans, but it's after 11:00, so I better start thinking about it.

1. What color sheets are on your bed?
Blue, with clouds (I'm sleeping in JackMN's room.)

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?

What kind of "love"?

4. If you have a lawn, do you mow it yourself?
Yep. I like mowing the lawn. Sometimes my husband does it, but last year it was primarily me.

DavetheWave (trying to assure I wouldn't get mad at his humor. I certainly didn't.)

6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?
Amy. Absolutely. I may call her and see if she wants to visit tonight.

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?
Somewhere with mountains.

Not often. I'm sure I'll pick up some for my Mom for Mother's Day.

9. What color is your kitchen?
Yellow, green, and white.

10. What are you planning to have for lunch?
Not much. My stomach's displeased with me, at present.

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?

Yes to both - though probably too infrequently because I'm lazy.

5. Who sent you your last PM?

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?
Probably Italy - but I may well be there anyway, though not in quite the same way as if money were no concern.

8. How often do you send people flowers?
Very very rarely - probably about twice a year.

9. What color is your kitchen?
Blue and white

2. If you're going to do anything, do it right. Whether professional or personal...Don't half-ass it.

113. OK....
1. What color sheets are on your bed?

Multi coloured gawd awful sheets my aunt bought me (I don't know if she is colourblind, but it looks like pistachio/strawberry ice cream glopped all over them. Bad taste is also another option. :shrug:

2. In your opinion, is it better to be passionate about what you do for a living, or should you keep your profession and your passion separate?

Ideally, passionate about what you do for a living; but I think the most important thing is to HAVE a passion(s), whether it pays or not.

3. Are you in love?

No. :-(

4. If you have a lawn, do you mow it yourself?

Don't have one.

5. Who sent you your last PM?

Someone on DU. That's about as far as I'll go. ;-)

6. Who was your best childhood friend? Are you still in touch with him/her?

Alison. I haven't talked to her in...perhaps 20 years.

7. If money was no concern, where would you like to vacation this year?

European tour. :bounce:

8. How often do you send people flowers?

I don't. I may pick them for somebody, but I can't afford fair trade flowers, and those are the only ones I'd send.

9. What color is your kitchen?

white, beige...boring.

10. What are you planning to have for lunch?

A bison, cheese, onion, mixed pepper and spinach quesadilla. :9
