My Question: If you could have one trait that you don't feel you currently posess, what would it be?

KeptInStitches

You know, I'm right there with swazzle today - why does no one answer my question?

To answer csousa1's question: If you could have one trait that you don't feel you currently posess, what would it be?

Patience. I have no patience. I need patience badly, generally speaking.

GoldenPenguin

If you could drive any car what would it be?

For everyday, I would love a loaded white Legacy. Unfortunately, only the 2.5i (which I have) is the only one that comes with a manual transmission, but I would just pimp the SHIT out of it. 

In my dreams, a Maserati Granturismo MC in matte black.  

What's the last book you read?

I'm reading a short story by Jennifer Weiner called "Swim." It's a prequel to her book "The Next Best Thing" which I'll probably read as well.

Patience. I have no patience. I need patience badly, generally speaking.

I find it hilarious that you're impatient about needing patience :P

Dignity100

@csousa1 - I love parenthood.  Do you think Julie and Joel are going to split?

@Brisox81 - you can have the bedroom set - can I just have the bedroom?  Geesh, my bedroom is probably as big as where the tall dresser is in that picture!!

 If you could have one trait that you don't feel you currently possess, what would it be?
I would like to be an outgoing extravert instead of a shy introvert.  Oh and a workout/nutrition freak just so I'd have a killer body.

If you had college / post-secondary education to do all over again, what would you major in the second time around?  - I would keep my Management Info Systems degree but I would have went to a bigger school instead (Ohio State University perhaps)

Eh, at least I'm honest about it. My grandma had a sign in her kitchen that said "Grant me patience yesterday!" Seems to be a long-standing flaw in my family.

csousa1

@Dignity100 - FUCK Joel right now, honestly. He took no responsibility for a damn thing. Julia should have told him the truth from the get-go and it would have been a much smaller issue, but seriously dude, man the fuck up. I hate that to give them their share of Braverman drama they had to COMPLETELY go against his character. He was my favorite before this whole thing and now I'm just mad. I really hope they don't split up. Also, Ryan is a coward - peace fucker, don't let the fatigues hitchya.

 

I may have some strong opinions. @BriSox81 what did you think?

Curling

9. Make up your own question!

If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her (and no, you don't have to ask your partner for their input).

GoldenPenguin

If you had college / post-secondary education to do all over again, what would you major in the second time around?  - I would go to a state school instead of a fancy private school, OR if I did go to a fancy private school for a comms degree, I would have gone to Syracuse so I would at least have a degree from Newhouse. 

I would probably still major in communications/journalism, although I do wish I would have been smart enough (aka had better study habits) so I could have done PT or AT. 

If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her (and no, you don't have to ask your partner for their input).

Rowan or Harper. 

csousa1

 

If you had college / post-secondary education to do all over again, what would you major in the second time around?  

 

 Nursing. At a state school.

 

If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her (and no, you don't have to ask your partner for their input).

Reese or Harper

Peaseblossom55

If you had college / post-secondary education to do all over again, what would you major in the second time around? I love my undergrad major acting/theater but I may gone more pratical with a degree in finance.  I wouldn't change getting my MBA though

 My Question: If you could have one trait that you don't feel you currently posess, what would it be? more patience

If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her : I would be soooo soooo happy if I had a daughter tomorrow. I would want to name her Madeleine Elle I love that name.

melmac86

1. What time did you wake up at today?

I don't really remember. Some time after 7, because I hit snooze way too many times.

2. Last movie/tv show you watched?

I think the last movie I watched was The Hobbit. Last tv show was an episode of Dr Phil last night that I had DVRed until the fire alarms went off in my building and I was rudely interrupted. By the time they turned off, it was 25 minutes later and I gave up finishing the show and trolled on facebook instead.

3. Are you wearing pink today?

Only my undies have pink in them. My outfit is a teal cami with a tan/brown cardigan and a pair of khakis.

4. How much does it cost to fill your car with gas?

For the past few months, I've been in the habit of refilling it every Monday morning regardless of how empty or full it is. On average I have 1/4th of a tank in there each Monday and it costs about $35 to fill. Sooo...I'm guessing if it was on empty completely, probably around $50.

5. If you could buy any one item right now, what would it be? Bonus point for link.

I'm in desperate want of a new tv stand. Ex-bf took our nice one when we broke up and I've been using a crappy, cheap-o one ever since. I like this one:

http://www.homedepot.com/p/Real-Flame-Fresno-72-in-Media-Console-Electric-Fireplace-in-Dark-Walnut-G1200E-DW/202959818#

6. If you could move anywhere within the country you currently live in, where would it be?

The weather in California is pretty great, so I'd go there.

7. Favorite healthy recipe?

I don't think this counts as healthy but it's as close as I'll get - chicken seasoned with taco seasoning and topped with salsa. Bake for 25 minutes. Top with shredded cheese and bake another 5 minutes til cheese is melted.

8. What is your favorite winter Olympic sport?

Figure skating!

9. Make up your own question!

I will come back to this along with the rest of the added questions. Gotta run into a meeting for a bit!

GoldenPenguin

@csousa1 & @dignity100 - I'm pissed at BOTH of them. I think Joel has been an absolute DICK lately, and I think Julia is out of her god damn mind. I'm so MAD at her. Joel is awesome (up until recently) and her little indiscretions are absolutely ridiculous. 

In other news, I'm TERRIFIED something bad is going to happen to Zeke while Camille is gone. I love love love Max, and last week made me SO sad. I'm so glad that Kristina isn't making my cry every damn week this season with cancer stuff, but I'm so jealous of her hair, it almost makes me cry. I HOPE Amber falls in love with the guy from the band that Ryan beat up.

I can't believe I forgot that you watched it considering that you totaled spoilered it on me hahaha.

I have been worried about what they are planning to do with Zeke and Camille, I wish he'd just friggin gone to meet up with her when she decided to extend her stay. I don't know why, but I'm really not all that mad at Julia. She had a LOT on her plate, and Joel up and turned into a different fucking person and basically bailed on her. She didn't lead Ed (who I kinda have a crush on, shocker) on at all, and sure it shouldn't have happened but come on, it was NOT the end of the world. I will be so pissed if they break up.

I want Amber to take a break for a while, which judging from the previews for this week it looks like she will. I am SO FUCKING EXCITED that Seth is back, I love him so much. I always wanted him and Sarah to get back together but honestly, he's too good for her. Sarah is a royal pain in the ass.

Poor Max. I love him. Kristina and Adam are the best parents ever and I adore them.

bethsmiles

1. What time did you wake up at today? I got up around 9.

4. How much does it cost to fill your car with gas? About $50 if it's completely empty.

5. If you could buy any one item right now, what would it be? Bonus point for link. 
I'm considering buy the Kindle Paperwhite. I don't need it because my Kindle works perfectly but I want it! If I get it I'll probably give BF my old one because he really likes reading on it but he doesn't read enough for him to buy one of his own.

6. If you could move anywhere within the country you currently live in, where would it be? I have a somewhat recent desire to live in Maine but BF and I would also really love to move to Washington.

7. Favorite healthy recipe? I have a really yummy recipe for slow cooker cilantro-lime chicken.

8. What is your favorite winter Olympic sport? Figure Skating

Toilet paper - over or under? I don't care either way

10. Do you like musicals? Do you have a favorite? I enjoy them but I don't have a favorite

If you could drive any car what would it be? I have no idea, I don't really know cars.

What's the last book you read? I'm reading Delirium right now.

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? If so, what are your plans? BF and I usually celebrate it, not in any big blown out way but a nice dinner is usually a part of the plan.

If you had to choose between a 90 minute massage once a month and a mani/pedi once a month, which would you choose and why? Mani/pedi, I don't like massages.

If calories, nutritional value, all of that healthy stuff didn't count, what would you be having for lunch today? Hmm...pizza probably.

I love them so much. It killed me when Kristina was going through the cancer stuff, and Adam was just so amazing. Even when they fight, they're good. Every time we watch I ask S2H - "Can we be just like them? But without the kids?" And he says yes, so I think that we're in for an awesome life.

9:21 am

2. Last movie/tv show you watched?
Once Upon a Time

3. Are you wearing pink today?
Nope.  Not today.

4. How much does it cost to fill your car with gas?
I think it's like 50 or so to fill it from E to F.

5. If you could buy any one item right now, what would it be? Bonus point for link. 
Can it be more of an event? Cuz I really want to sign up for the Run or Dye 5k race.  And that comes with things.

6. If you could move anywhere within the country you currently live in, where would it be?
Probably either to Las Vegas or to somewhere in New England.

7. Favorite healthy recipe?
A marinated tofu dish I make is probably the healthiest I've made at home besides a Thai peanut chicken salad.

8. What is your favorite winter Olympic sport?
I don't have one.

9. If calories, nutritional value, all of that healthy stuff didn't count, what would you be having for lunch today?
A nice big bowl of spicy ramen from my favorite restaurant.
 

Extra Questions:

Toilet paper - over or under?

Under

Do you like musicals? Do you have a favorite?

Yes, I love Into the Woods

What DIY project are you dying to do right now? 

I'm horrible at DIY.

If you could drive any car what would it be?

Practical would be a Jeep Patriot or a new Honda (Civic or CRV).  For fun I would like to own a Bently.  I'd probably never drive it anywhere, but I like Bentleys.

labro

If calories, nutritional value, all of that healthy stuff didn't count, what would you be having for lunch today? Definitely pizza. Either with ham and mushroom, ham and pineapple, or ALL the veggie toppings.

If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her (and no, you don't have to ask your partner for their input). I've always been partial to names like Rachel, Madeline, Susan, Cynthia. It's hard, I feel like I won't know unless I actually have a girl. And even then I don't know if I'd be able to choose a name until I saw her face or not.

melmac86

Toilet paper - over or under?

Definitely over. Under drives me mad. Luckily BF and I see eye to eye on this for when we live together.

Do you like musicals? Do you have a favorite?

I do, but I have only ever seen Wicked done professionally. It was amazing and I'd go again if I could.

What DIY project are you dying to do right now?

I'm still hoping to pick up crocheting in the near future.

If you could drive any car what would it be?

I'm not sure. I don't have a dream vehicle. I only know that I'd never go back to driving anything other than an SUV. I would just like some day to be able to drive something brand new off the lot.

What's the last book you read?

Oh boy. Lately, I've been in a terrible habit of starting a book and not finishing it. Right now, I'm reading Driven by former Green Bay Packers wide receiver Donald Driver.

Do you celebrate Valentine's Day? If so, what are your plans?

Meh. It doesn't really make a difference to me either way. If I make plans to celebrate, I prefer something low key at home. No plans this year. BF works on V-day from 2-10:30 PM.

If you had to choose between a 90 minute massage once a month and a mani/pedi once a month, which would you choose and why?

Definitely a massage. I had a free chair massage from work about a month ago and the lady gasped when she touched my shoulders and said I really needed a table instead. haha. The amount of tension I carry in my shoulders, back, and neck is off the charts.

If calories, nutritional value, all of that healthy stuff didn't count, what would you be having for lunch today?

Wellll, I'm having Spaghetti-Os so there's your answer.

If you had college / post-secondary education to do all over again, what would you major in the second time around? 

I would choose a degree that would allow me to work with animals. Whatever degree would get me a job in wildlife rescue and rehab...

If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her (and no, you don't have to ask your partner for their input).

I'm not sure on this. I haven't thought much about baby names.

csousa1

Y u no answer my question?

Dignity100

@BriSox81 & @csousa1 - Agreed that Zeke needs to get his ass on a plane!!

As far as Julia and Joel goes; their roles have changed.  Joel really has not been all that supportive of Julia (but he probably feels a little angered that she quit her job without talking to him first - but it allowed him to pursue his dream).  They obviously need to figure out where they each fit in the family/relationship if they want to stay together.

I actually like Sarah and Hank the best, I think they balanced each other out.

Agreed on Kristina and Adam getting parents of the year award!  It seems like they have what most of us strive for!!


Question:
If you had a daughter tomorrow, what would you name her (and no, you don't have to ask your partner for their input).
No idea - if I adopted a female dog today it would be Emma or Lily depending on breed (yup - that moment where I'm the crazy dog lady again).

melmac86

Holy hell, I can't keep up. I think I've missed a lot of questions in there, but to answer @csousa1, I'm going to be the dick that goes with a physical trait and pick big boobs. Or at least BIGGER than what I have currently. booobiesss.

Peaseblossom55

@melmac86 I loved Wicked when I saw it on Broadway such a great show!

Haha sorry, I didn't mean you specifically, I was just being a brat in general. Solid choice dude.
