Re: Random Poll

  • 1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it? A dog. I would probably name it Buckeye.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased? No, but have heard good things about it. I guess I just need to do some research

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house? Probably my living room furniture

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had.  My Grandma's chili and good 'ole Southern cornbread

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.  Ha. I am ashamed to say I have only been to the spa once. I really liked the salt scrub and massage thingy that H got me for Christmas a few years ago. I really need to go again. I don't treat myself very often.
  • 1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it?

    H says that he would buy a tiger to ride around on and he would name it TIGR. haha  As for me, I'd probably want a family of elephants.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased?

    Neep.

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house?

    My computer, for about $500.  H has bought me a purse that is more expensive than my computer but it's really weird to me.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had. 

    We ate at a Michelin star restaurant in Stockholm a couple weeks ago.  It.was.incredible.  I started with wild duck breast, boar sausage with sauerkraut with balsamic sauce.  Second was weever (a type of poisonous fish) with pancetta, butter sauce and new potatoes.  The desert though.  Holy.crap.  Cloudberry crumble.  I practically licked that bowl clean.











    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.

    MASSAGE.  I'd murder for one right now.

    1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it? Horse, I don't know what I'd name it though - I'd have to meet it first.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased? Yes, I've bought a bunch of stuff, although we mostly get deals on restaurants or stuff we'd do anyway (H wants to golf, I bought him a coupon for golf) rather than wasting money on random crap. It's the best.

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house? Business class plane tickets. As far as physical things go, that'd be my Louboutins. ETA: Ok actually computers are more expensive, but I forgot about those.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had.  My friend and I went to Athens, and her dad's (very wealthy) friend had promised to show us around but ended up being out of town. So he sent his nephew to take us out to a nice lunch. We went to a restaurant on the top of Lykavittos Hill which was just insanely good - I had scorpion fish in some sauce that was the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one. Massage.
  • Thank God, it's ridiculously slow here right now.  

    1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it? 
    I think a Koala bear would be pretty awesome, and very cuddly.  Not sure what I would name it.  Maybe Shooter, as in bamboo shooter?  I'm clearly not very clever.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased? 
    I get Groupon emails and updates on my phone.  I have yet to purchase anything only because they are all usually for Seattle.  I'm not going to drive 45 minutes each way to save $10 on something.  But sometimes they have closer ones, so I'm sure I'll buy soon.


    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house? 
    It's basically a tie I think between our computers and our TVs.  H doesn't like to go cheap there.  

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had.  
    Hmmm, this is difficult.  I have had some meals that were really good, but we're made even better by the company we had with us.  Based on just the food though, probably a steakhouse back at home we go to.  It's at a casino and my dad always has tons of free points, so we order and eat like Kings, and it's always amazingly delicious.


    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.
    While I do love massages, my hands down favorite thing to get is a facial.  It's just so unbelievably relaxing, and makes you feel great both while you are getting it and after.  Massages are nice also, but since I like them to work hard and get the knots out, it's not usually relaxing.  So definitely facials.

  • 1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it?  If this is a total "what if" scenario, I would love to have a dragon named Smokey.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased?  I have signed on to Groupon, but have yet to use any of the coupons.

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house?  A computer.  Dropped almost $3k on a gaming rig from Alienware years ago.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had.  We were once treated to the tasting menu dinner at Nobu.  That will be my last supper if I ever have to have one.  It was the only time I ever had fish literally melt in my mouth.

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.  Full on pedicure.  There's something so decadent about that.

    1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it? A penquin. I always need time to think of pet names, though. 

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased?
    Yes, several times. We've gotten dining discounts (The Melting Pot, gelato shop, etc. ) and we are going to see Zac Brown Band at FedEx field in June with a package we got on Living Social. I can't wait!

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house?
    Hmm, our laptop, I think. We just bought it about 9 months ago.  *Edit: I lied, it was definitely my flat screen TV. About $800.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had.
    DH and I went to a little Italian restaurant after seeing the Lion King for our Christmas gift to each other. We had fried calamari with marinara, I had shrimp and vegetables in a white wine garlic sauce and a side of pasta. Dessert was some sort of chocolately cake with homemade vanilla gelato. I just ate lunch and I'm hungry again just thinking about that meal.

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.
    Manicure. But I've never had a massage or a facial before, so this is really just based on my lake of spa experiences.

  • 1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it? Hmm... probably a Caracal or an Ocelet. They're medium wild cats and very cute. Probably not too cuddly, though. It would get named to match the rest of my brood.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased? I don't live in a town where that comes in handy very often, but I plan to watch it before my next vacation for the city I'm going to.

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house? Probably our massive flat screen. Or my e-ring, but I didn't pay for that.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had. If I could only eat at one place for the rest of my life, it'd be a place in my college town. It was a family-owned buffet-type place where you picked your meat and three veg. We used to go every Friday, and there were only about ten tables and a gunshot in the front door. Seeing the family cook it made it even better. I'd pick that over fine dining anytime. My favorite was the fried pork chops, creamed corn, green beans, and fried okra. And they had the BEST sweet tea. Aw, I miss that place.

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one. I guess pedicure. I've never done anything else spa-like.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had. 
    Any meal at the restaurant where DH and I got married, the "best" restaurant in our city and our favorite. We usually start with a martini by the best bartender I've ever met; have a pear, endive, gorgonzola, and walnut salad that we split; split two apps -- usually escargot in butter sauce and an amazing potato tart; the entree varies, but I often get the filet mignon; dessert is always a warm chocolate souffle with fresh berries, by far the best dessert I've ever had in my life.

    Regular relaxing massage.
  • 1. if you could have ANY animal as a pet, what would it be and what would you name it?
    My dog, Sadie.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased?
    I joined Groupon but I've never actually purchased anything off of it.  I have yet to see something come up I'm interested in (and I forget to check daily).

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house?
    Vet care for my pup.  She had Hemorragic Gastroentilitis (sp?) last summer which is a stomach bug where it starts bleeding.  It happened over a weekend so she was at the vet ER 1 night and her regular vet the rest of the week :(.

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had.  
    Not gourmet but the best meal to me is Maryland crabs, corn on the cob, tater salad, ceaser salad, and deviled eggs.

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.
    Massage.
    Anniversary

    [QUOTE]In Response to Re: Random Poll : . My H is in the market for a new laptop, and he wants an alienware one so badly. He was practically drooling over it in the store. He was telling me all about it, but most of it went way over my head.

    Alienware laptops basically have the power of a desktop.  You get really powerful hardware but those things are a beast to carry around and get very hot.

    I assume your H is either a PC gamer or uses modeling/rendering software :)  Both are very graphics-intensive and require a high powered machine.

    I'm boring, I would just have dogs.  I'd love to have my own dog rescue/sanctuary.

    2. Groupon, living social, dealfinder, etc -  have you ever participated in it?  If so what have you purchased?
    Nope

    3. Most expensive thing you have ever purchased that wasn't WR, a car or a house?
    My camera ($250) and Garmin GPS watch ($300) come to mind. 

    4. Tell me about one of the best meals you've ever had. 
    When I was in Canada, we had one of my favorite meals of all time.  It included 2 huge salmon that we had caught ourselves, green beans with feta and walnuts, and derby pie.  I think what makes it stand out is that I was so hungry from fishing/actively recreating all day.  Nom. 

    ETA: Actively recreating looks really weird.  I meant doing recreational activities...like fishing, and boating, and hiking...lol

    5. What is your favourite spa activity?  You can only pick one.
    I've never been to a spa...
