[ghostsofgiants]

When it's cold there are a lot of ways to warm myself up. When I'm sipping on a slushie and scantily clad, but still sweating my ass off, I'm shit out of luck.

[Midnight Rambler]

5. My ears are open

[progmom]

12. what's your favorite flavor of ice cream?

[progmom]

50. Do you prefer swimming in a pool, ocean, or lake?

[lavenderdiva]

86. I prefer swimming in a pool...

I don't like salt water and sand, even though I like looking at them. I can't see what's going on in a lake, under the surface, and don't know what might be lurking there. Yes, I have many phobias...

I'm sorry, progmom, about the delay in answering your question, but last night I had the darndest time getting any screen to re-load on DU. Apparently, others were having the same problem. Also, we had some terrible storms in our area, and at one point they knocked the power down.

[progmom]

58. Do you enjoy gardening?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

83. I have to force myself to get outside, and get dirty...

[progmom]

[Beware the Beast Man]

:D
I started in Music Education, and dropped it because I was miserable. Flirted with Communications but never decalred (when you actually hear my voice you may know why). Fell into Secondary Education-Social Studies and flunked it in a glorious fashion, then finally graduated with a B.A. in History.

Kidding. :)

[progmom]

90. Who was your first crush?

[billyskank]

94. Why, you are!

Ok, not really... It was a girl at school. Her name was Christiane. As I remember it, it was the first time I looked at a girl and noticed her prettiness.

[Joe Power]

88. Are you my mother?

Just wondering...

[progmom]

91. If you were forced to sing karoake, what song would you choose?

[Joe Power]

159. Something by Tom Waits

Probably something off of "Small Change", like "The Piano Has Been Drinking" or "Pasties and a G String."

[merh]

96. Here!

:hi:

[progmom]

101. How much TV do you watch a day?

[merh]

104. which day?

:shrug:

[progmom]

109. i guess i was looking for an average

[merh]

119. Oh, maybe 2 to 3 hrs.

This past weekend, heck Law & Order SUV and Law & Order marathons are on, so its a lot longer. I catch the shows out of the corner of my eye while typing.

Hope you have a good memorial day! :hi:

[GirlinContempt]

97. Mmm ok

.

[progmom]

102. Do you have any artistic talents?

[GirlinContempt]

111. Hmmmm

Not... really. I'm not very visually oriented. I've done some fair photography, but that was more chance than talent. I paint, but nothing good, it's just fun to get messy and create something weird. I also am trained in stage/theatrical/special effects makeup, but I'm not sure if that's artistic... and it's less a talent and more a... skill I guess.

So, short answer no.

[SnohoDem]

98. Okay

?

[progmom]

103. Did you ever stick up for the kids who got picked on in elementary school?

[SnohoDem]

106. Yes.

My parents raised me that way.

[progmom]

107. good for you!

:thumbsup:




me too.

[SnohoDem]

114. It's at the root of why many of us are here.

We were raised to think, or came to believe, that those less powerful than ourselves should be helped, not exploited or bullied.

[tjwmason]

110. I promise to answer

Not necessarily truthfully though.

Any well - hello progmom, I would ask whether you have been on holiday today, but I realise that having a progspawn around doesn't fit into the pattern of holidays. :hi:

[progmom]

112. Where is your favorite place to go on holiday?

And yes, we are visiting my parents in NY state. progspawn is napping right now. :hi:

[tjwmason]

113. Italy

Good food, good wine, probably the most wonderful art (which I like) of any country on the planet, and only a dash over an hour by plane.

France comes as an honourable second, fulfilling both of the first two criteria, plus iritating freeper-types.

I'm going to visit the U.S. once you get round to getting a decent president (let's just say the bags aren't packed yet), but it will be difficult to take the lead.

[tjwmason]

115. Where are my manners?

I totally forgot where you favourite holiday destination is - at this rate you might think that I'm like a freeper.

[progmom]

162. Some of my favorite vacations have been to Italy...

But I also like getting away from everything and going up to a cottage we have been renting since I was a little girl. It's 2 hours north of Toronto, on a small lake. I like to just sit on the beach and read all day. Or canoe out to the island. Campfires at night. Divine.

[El Fuego]

116. Ok, ask away!

[progmom]

122. If you could chose a decade in the past to live in, what would it be?

[El Fuego]

129. I'd live in the 60s

As a twenty-something.

[MadisonProgressive]

121. Progmom - have you ever used vegetables during sex?

Now be honest!

[progmom]

123. What's your most annoying habbit?

I'm asking the questions here! ;)

[MadisonProgressive]

125. People not responding to my question!

[MadisonProgressive]

126. What's MY most annoying habit?

None of my habits annoy me. If you are referring to my effect on others, I'd have to say being a big KNOWITALL!!:evilgrin:

[Bok_Tukalo]

128. I am Boink and I have posted here

<ope>

[progmom]

131. Are you good at flirting in real life?

Or is this a primarily internet-related skill you have developed?

[Bok_Tukalo]

133. I am much better in real life

I find being limited to text difficult to overcome.

[progmom]

153. That scares me.

You are very good when limited to text. :hi:

[maveric]

132. Dont hold back now!

Ask away!

[maveric]

134. I now know I'm on your ignore list.

But thats not an exclusive club.

[progmom]

142. Dude - I am on vacation today - just doing fly-bys on DU.

And btw - I have exactly one person on my ignore list, and I didn't put them there. :shrug:

[progmom]

141. Do you look back on your childhood with fondness?

:hi:

[xmas74]

135. Ask away.

[progmom]

143. How many times a week do you...

...get take-out food?

[xmas74]

148. Once every two weeks, on average.

[Shrubhater]

137. Really?

Ask me a really tough science question. (I dare ya!)

[progmom]

144. If you could go back in time, would you?

[Shrubhater]

182. Hmmmm......

I'm considering the fact that even by just appearing in a time in the past you would change history forever, because it would take so much energy to travel back in time that if you appeared in a time in the past, the spot where you appeared in the past would have an "imprint" of energy, perhaps changing the weather, or even the climate! Also, if I were to travel back in time, according to theory, you would appear in a parallel universe, and since there would be an infinite number of parallel universes, I would never be able to get back to this universe!

So... If I considered those complications, I wouldn't want to risk going back in time. But if I ignored them, I would want to. Preferably back to the 70's, the decade of disco!


P.S: Is that all you got? Come on, ask a tougher science question!

[Shrubhater]

138. Really?

Ask me a really tough science question. (I dare ya!)

[Shrubhater]

139. Really?

Ask me a really tough science question. (I dare ya!)

[Shrubhater]

140. Really?

Ask me a really tough science question! (I dare ya!)

[nickgutierrez]

145. Hi.

:hi:

[progmom]

146. If you could have a boat, what kind of boat would you buy?

[nickgutierrez]

147. One that floats.

I don't really know much about boats. :)

[progmom]

154. i guess i meant sailboat vs motor boat vs. canoe...etc

[SOteric]

149. Here. -Ask away.

:hi:

[progmom]

155. What is your signature dish?

You know - the one you whip up when you want to impress someone?

[SOteric]

158. The answer to that depends very much

on what manner of being 'impressed' we're talking about. I don't have just one dish that I pull out as the answer to all challenges. I do have a creamy Chicken Marsala in a Jus Lié which has quite seriously garnered me 3 separate and genuine marriage proposals. I no longer share that recipe. It may be dangerous in the wrong hands. :7

I don't eat red meat, but I do prepare it. And one dish I make, a kind of tournedo of beef in a green pepper and cognac glaze, is fun to pull out because the cognac flames in the pan when I make the pan sauce and it ads a certain amount of 'bling' to the presentation.

I also enjoy making a sabayon of white chocolate and Poire William because the flavours are so sensational that most of those who've tasted it experience a moment not unlike sex.

I make a handmade crab rangoon which I float in a pool of hot and sour plum beurre blanc.

Pan-smoked Canadian Lake Trout which I form into cakes, laced with dijon and horseradish.

Scallops in sweet vermouth and a roasted red pepper coulis, - that's a personal favourite.

Duck confit, - complex, but well worth the effort, in the Italian style with olives.

For fast and stunning, I make a chocolate mousse 'torte' that is more or less whipped ganache. The better the chocolate, the better the flavour. It's pretty easy to garnish as well

[joneschick]

151. ok, I'll play. Nobody knows me much here anyway. I'm kinda newish

and kinda shy. Ask away.

[progmom]

156. Describe your home decor in one sentence.

:hi: Welcome to DU!

[joneschick]

166. A sad mish-mash of hand-me-downs and cast offs

with a few minor exceptions of things I actually chose. Most of my furniture is really old enough to move out. Sorry, more than one sentence and now I'm depressed too. sigh

[MrSandman]

160. It may be a day or so...nt

[progmom]

161. What's the first thing you do when you wake up in the morning?

[MrSandman]

191. Drink the cup of cofee...

My young un brings in when he tells me it is time to wake up.

[TheCentepedeShoes]

163. OK

ask away. :)

[progmom]

164. What do you think happens when we die?

[TheCentepedeShoes]

167. Nothing

In terms of an "afterlife" or the rewards in a "heaven." We're organic beings and we go the way of other living organisims. The only thing we have is what we do here and now. And hopefully that is for the good of those who come after us.

[Debbi801]

165. Good morning Progmom! Happy Tuesday!

[progmom]

170. Do you feel like you have had a "defining moment" in your life?

:hi:

[Debbi801]

186. Actually, I think I've had several...

When I had my first child and discovered what it was like to have someone so tiny and innocent dependent on me. :-)

When I "woke up" and realized that contrary to what he had told me, I did NOT have to stay married to my abusive first husband. I could pack up my kids and leave. I might not be pretty, but I could (and did) do it.

When I met my current husband and fell head over heels instantly. And again when I saw what it like to be with someone who respected me and demonstrated that on a constant basis.

Probably more than you wanted to know. :-)

Debbi

[Lavender Brown]

168. You're so nosy

:silly:

[progmom]

171. Have you ever been in a bad car accident?

:hi:

[Lavender Brown]

176. I was in a schoolbus accident

In which I went flying over several seats and sprained my ankle.

[Orsino]

169. Promise. n/t

[progmom]

172. Are you an organized person?

:hi:

[Orsino]

183. Organized enough...

...to resemble productivity, anyway. When I have a task to complete, I try to attack it systematically. That way, if nothing actually gets done, at least it has been done neatly.

[chickenscratching]

173. Aloha~

I'm feeling like a hard-shell, saucy, spicy tortilla! I'm ready to be asked anything!

But before that, how are you, progmom?

[progmom]

175. What's the most spontaneous thing you have ever done?

Nice to see you today, Kat! What's new?

[chickenscratching]

180. sheesh, that's a tough one

Oh!
Once, when I was living at home, my older sister brought home her boyfriend. On a lark, I ran downstairs to showoff for him, completely naked.
Pretty saucy, eh? eh?

However, I was of course only 2 or 3 at the time.

[deutsey]

178. Hola, progmadre

[Lisa0825]

179. Howdy progmom!

:hi:

[Deep13]
