Seoul, what's your favorite type of cheese?

Dangerous question :). I love cheese and could have it every day... used to not be so much into the sharper flavors, but I'm liking them more as I get older... Maybe I'm getting old and my taste buds are just in a state of surrendering! Mozzarella and cheddar are probably my favorites... especially the soft, water-packed mozzarella in Europe. Not so crazy about anything smoked... smoke is good for meats... not so good for cheese. :)

For everyone,

Do you on a pet and if so, what kind? Why did you choose your pet, or did it choose you?

Unfortunately, I am allergic to fur and feathers, but if I could, I would get two kittens so they wouldn't be lonely. (Maybe I'd name them "Hot" and "Cold"; "Night" and "Day"... or "Gin" and "Tonic". :) Just kidding about the last one!!
 
Sorry im late in responding!

Umm Green i would answer your question, but i dont know what hard line is.

Kim hiiii :) Yes my dad is a pastor (its my step dad actually, but him and my mom married when i was 4 so he's basically my dad) I have found christians in the church to be the most judgemental of all. Because your the pastors family, it feels like your expected to be close to perfect. My dad when he first became a pastor he told my brothers and sister and I to be very carefeul what we say to the members of the congragation, because some people may want to be friends with us to get information out of us about him. An unfortunantly he was right, i had women ask me out to lunch just to ask me a thousand questions about my dad and mom. You really never know who your friend is, or why there your friend.
You really do have to keep people at a distance, and my advice would be. Dont take it personally when your critisized for being less than perfect. If people have nothing better to do than talk about you, it really shows you where that persons heart is it.

Vio i think your the one who asked me this. Im the middle child, i have 2 older brothers (one of whom has passed away, but i still count him in there.) A younger brother, and an older sister and a younger sister. One of my older brothers and my oldest sister are twins. Were all close in age.

Liamson: Savannah and Ty ( those are the names i like )

Jules!!! I was never good at anything in school, i wasnt popular i didnt have anything goin for me. In 5th grade my teacher openly called me stupid and had me tested for ADD, i went in for testing and sure enough i was diagnosed and medicated within a few short weeks. My parents got me all kinds of tutors and all that to try and make school easier for me. It didnt though even with tutors i was still barely passing. However my history tutor said there was something about my recollection of dates and events that wasnt right. So she had me go to a university for testing when i was about 14. When the test came back i had scored off the charts, but only in history and reading comprehension. my parents pulled me out of school because at this time my teachers were saying i was mentally retarded! So my dad homeschooled me. I dunno if this was right or not, but he really just taught me history reading and writing. He would take me to all kinds of museums, because he himself had a love for history. He bought me tons of books to read and study, and thats what i grew up doing.
If it hadnt been for that tutor, i dunno what i would be doing right now. She made me feel like i was smart. I hold on to history because something about it just clicks with me, i just get it. It fascinates me, but im not even sure why. We dont give those who came before us enough credit, instead we make up theorys of crazy theorys, Why cant it just be accepted, they may infact have been smarter than us.

Ok sorry, im done now :D

HOLLY, JUST FOR YOU :D <3
"Although Einstein is now considered the epitome of genius, in the first two decades of his life, many people thought Einstein was the exact opposite. Right after Einstein was born, relatives were concerned with Einstein's pointy head. Then, when Einstein didn't talk until he was three years old, his parents worried something was wrong with him. Einstein also failed to impress his teachers. From elementary school through college, his teachers and professors thought him lazy, sloppy, and insubordinate. Many of his teachers thought he would never amount to anything."

She's not making fun of your babies, Zero.

As soon a the little critters hatch, I'm sure Thor and Astrazuna(what-was-it-again) are going to be adorable. Hope you're rotating the position of the eggs every few days so that they're each getting equal amounts of warmth... ;)

I can see YOUR wish list for Santa... "State-of-the-Art Incubator with Self-Rotating Function."

Oh wait. Maybe what you really want is a rotisserie oven??!! You know me, always thinking with my stomach. ;) (Do velociraptor eggs make good omelets? Maybe with a little extra cheese...)
 
How did I miss this topic?! lol

Kim- My absolute favorite thing about being a mother is not only watching Kyla grow up but watching how God always gives me wisdom in the choices I need to make for her.
My advice for mothers-to-be, who probably are anxious if not scared as well, is to absolutely pray for your children and give them to God. Sincerely trust Him with every single aspect of parenthood because without Him it's ridiculously difficult. ALSO, I earnestly urge new mommies to be to research and study in order to make educated decisions about the choices they make as well. :) Like the kind of birth you want and wether or not to vaccinate your children...things like that.

Jullianna- I think what surprised me most about being a mom was how challenging it is and how accountable it makes me. LoL If I'm not spending time with God, it affects us both. However I'm always surprised by how perfectly He designed the whole mother/child adventure. LoL


Now I have to think of some good questions. :D
 
Hmm only challenging in that it's more work than taking care of someone else's kids and you have more responsibility. That's what I meant.

I love every second with her!!
 
Umm, green, I would answer your questions but I don't know what hard line means-- Nods .
------
You speak great God truth, Nods, and, with intelligent, sound, wording, when you really open up but most of the time your comments are hard line, sarcastic, often said remarks that state an opinion without God reason. And, that is not to knock you at all, Nods, you are very funny with your wry, dry, yet quenching, remarks to others and when you come up with threads they are fun for all to thirst on. :)

------+------
Baby names:
Girl : Hanna. Carianna
Boy: Joby. Kenic
------------+++++--------
Night person, although I like mornings too, depends on the season . I like to get things done early in day so so I can go see family/friends/ goof off with Piddy evenings/ chat on c.c.. I have a job working for self so and I prefer to do things like c.c. with the day's doings already done. So that why I am on more nighttimes c.c. than daytime. Plus, I'm watching soaps daytime! Just kidding. Ick! Ick! Ick! Although, Yeah, I admit I liked Days of Our Lives my sophomore year in college, really got into it for a year , or two.
-----
Piddy is my girl, she is a beautiful, healthy girl whom I met at a swap meet and had no idea in world I would be taking her home in 2006. BUT, yes, God had other plans, though me supporting myself back then was hard and taking on a puppy, 5 weeks old, eyes still closed, was God's gift to me. Some people told me after I got her that she would be unhealthy and not make it because she was not ready to leave her mom. But God entereth in, she is 5 years old and, besides shots as usual, and, a gash under eye needing stitches (she is a German shorthair and american pitbull terrier but she is a lover not a fighter :) ) from a dog that bit her because she was on dog's property, Piddy is healthy as a horse. That Karo syrup.and milk formulation she slurped at 5 weeks old must have worked :D I prefer to say God worked. The Lord leads.

Sorry, if I miss questions, and , it is completely OK to blame it on my green brains :D

Vkat - why the viola and not the violin and why does Texas most appeal to you ?
Ritt, what do you think influences your life more , psychology, or, philosophy, and has the choice of being a psychology minor changed your views of God ?

SeeMcVeggieKing --- Isn't it a lot more expensive eating fresh vegetables for every meal and, that said, what do you do with your spare change to help God work through you?

Nicestguy - have you ever talked someone through a life and death situation and, you, like zere, seem technologically deft, you more 'technical,' and, zere more 'creative,' but anyway, why is that?

Cinchy (chich) -what kind of things are there to do in Jamaica and is it a well off nation or poor-poor like Haiti?

CHC - What would you tell others that are going through a tough illness?

----j-----
Also, Seoul, I like Subway sandwiches, any one of their sans but mostly I just get the $5 menu because I can pretty much vary ingredients and selection, plus , I get omelette sandwiches. I can cook though, Piddy loves my cooking :D
 
SeeMcVeggieKing --- Isn't it a lot more expensive eating fresh vegetables for every meal and, that said, what do you do with your spare change to help God work through you?

LOL @ SeeMcVeggieKing
I don't always eat fresh fruits and vegetables because yes, that would be more expensive. I would really enjoy to be able to eat nothing but fresh fruits and vegetables, especially the green ones :D lol
I have often thought about moving temperate climate where I can keep a garden year round along with many fruit trees and just live off of the land.

I have been unemployed for a few months now, and am not eligible for unemployment so spare change is scarce. So for now, all I can do is be a light to the world and show others the love that God has so graciously shown me in my own life and also encourage my brothers and sisters in Christ to keep the faith and continue to grow in it every single day.

Vkat - why the viola and not the violin and why does Texas most appeal to you ?

Because the viola is my dominate instrument. I'm a Texas girl, born and raised. Is there any other reason needed?
 
This is a great idea for a thread.

niceguy: Why are you so quiet? :)
I'm going to answer a question with a question. Do you mean quiet here on the forum or you perceive me as a quiet person in general or what? I think I need to know more about what you mean so I can better answer.

Also, I wanted to know what it is you do, but that question was already asked and answered. Also, I go the impression your name might not actually be Jullianna when I kept seeing zero call you Diana (I hope I spelled that right? can't remember if it's 2 n's or not). That is your real name? My other guess was that it was just some inside thing between the two of you that he would call you by that name. Hmm.

I was curious about the whole "snackers" thing too. That one was asked as well. Hmm. I can't think of anymore questions at the moment. So moving on...

Your first question....
I'm not sure if this counts, or is what you were looking for but it's the thing that comes to mind:
I played a role in stopping someone from commiting suicide. It was someone I knew from online as a friend for quite some time. This happened...hmm...I think it was at least 10 or more years ago...
Short story: For weeks, things were building up to one night I won't soon forget. This person came online and announced to me and one other friend that they were about to take their own life. I'd helped talk this person down before, but this night was different. It was much more serious. I ended up getting in touch with local police here who were able to get in touch with state police in the area of said person. They got there and stopped it from happening, thankfully. I am no longer in touch with this person, but it had a very happy ending the last I heard.

Your second question...Once again, I'm not positive if this will be the kind of answer you're looking for, but I'll give it a go.
I have just always liked to figure out how things work. It's that way with anything from guitars to computer programs and about anything else I use in my daily life. I'm very much a do-it-yourself kind of person. I'm mechanically inclined and have a pretty good eye for things. I've never been afraid of working hard and researching to hone any skill I have or use. When I get into something, it's usually not enough to just take it casually. I like to know the ins and outs of it. So, yes, I can see why you'd mention me being technical in a way. I have a whole other artistic side though. I love music...songwriting, playing guitar, etc. are some of my greatest loves.
My creative and technical sides also meet in some areas. For instance, the guitar I built up from parts and came up with my own unique paint finish for etc. There are both mechanical and artistic elements involved in that, as well as some other things I do. Part geek, part athlete, part artist, part do-it-yourselfer with whatever, etc. etc. Yeah..there are a lot of sides to me.
--------------------
Sorry if I missed anything. I think I answered all that were for me though.
 
niceguy: I have a feeling you are a very quiet person offline. Are you?

My real name is Dianna :) I began using Jullianna as a chat name long ago because I liked the meaning of it (sent by God).

Answer to the pet question:
I have two dogs: a silver husky (female=Missy) and a softcoated wheaten terrier (male=Max). Both are rescued dogs. Would like to have more, but it's not a good idea. I also have a huge fish tank.
 
niceguy: I have a feeling you are a very quiet person offline. Are you?
Yes and no. It completely depends on who I am around and the situation. In large groups I'm usually quiet for sure. I'm more of an observer. I will know a lot of things about people who don't know much about me at all.... That might sound a bit creepy. lol I don't really enjoy being the center of attention or up in front of people.
One on one or with a few, I wouldn't consider myself quiet at all. I can be really talkative, regardless of how well I know the people. Knowing the people does make it more likely that I'd say more though. I think that's true for most.
As far as online goes, if I'm in a large group (the only way I could think of that happening is a chat room probably) I can be plenty talkative. It just depends on mood, etc.
I used to be super duper shy all the way around. I am still more of an introvert in a lot of ways, but it's not uncommon for me now to be able to carry on a conversation with a complete stranger..I guess that's not uncommon in the south where I'm from anyways. ha....If that complete stranger is a cute girl my ability to form sentences can diminish though...ha...not as true online though.

My real name is Dianna :) I began using Jullianna as a chat name long ago because I liked the meaning of it (sent by God).
Awesome. :)
 
I kinda had you pegged as one of those guys who doesn't say much, and when you do, it's definitely something worth listening to. At least I've found this to be true in this forum. :)

I'm a southern girl being held hostage in Indiana (by my job). Things are different from the South here, but not as bad as some of the more metropolitan areas. Where are you from?

I'll PM you that answer. I am not one to put everything out on a public forum.
 
Seoul - The bulk of my beard took about 1 year. This month is year number two though, and still growing, haha. I actually never intended to grow one. I went to shave one day, didn't feel like it, so, two years later, i still don't feel like shaving, haha.

Green - In some ways. I was born with self esteem issues. As young as four years old i can remember feeling like i was less than others around me. Then i stopped eating, and spent a year in four hospitals having every test they could think of. No one came up with an answer. Eventually i gradually came out of it. A few years after that my mom started having health problems, so i watched her deal with various issues from the time i was about 8-9 til she died when i was 20. Listening to her throw up regularly, be depressed, have fits of rage over her frustration with illness, hospital visits, surgeries, and plenty more to deal with, watching her. Once i hit 14 i got saved, but also fell into a strong depression that still is with me, just not as strong over the past few years. Over the years as a teen i had some problems with paranoia, anger, bitterness, fear and some addiction issues. I never received professional help, or rarely told anyone of most of it for that matter. I kept it to myself, except for writing as my personal therapy. By my late teens i slept with a large knife under my pillow and had visions of slitting my wrists. Well, i guess that gives a general idea of my growing up.
 
Ritter, perhaps you and your future wife can take up a family vote.

I'm sure you'd be more than happy (not to mention experienced) to work on the campaign(s). :) You can't concede victory completely before hearing the voice of the people!! Democracy is alive and well!! :D J/K! :)

I believe in government of the people, by the people, and for the people from a professional and philosophical standpoint. Aside from that, you'll find I'm more of an enlightened despot. ;)

Sorry :) Nope. So...how far over were ya?

15 miles. I have plenty of excuses for why my first ticket is undeserved. Alas, such is the law.

Julieannie - what makes you think you want to become police officer and not police chief?

I would make a terrible chief. :D Most importantly, I'm not a politician, I don't kiss butt well and I wouldn't have the time to dedicate to the things I really love. I like direct contact with people. I like looking for what most people will never see. I love puzzles. I love the quest. I love bad guys not getting away with it.

Actually though, I've been thinking more along the lines of teaching. We'll see. :)

Aha! Take this, translate it to politics, and you have the reason why I would shy away from being a candidate.
