Getting to know you...and you...and you

Post by Squirrelygirl »

Since folks are posting their pictures and discussing their screen names,
I thought I'd try something to let us know more about each other, while we
await PH day. Anyone interested, just answer the questions below. Feel free to embellish any way you like.


Occupation?

Marital Status?

Favorite Books?

Favorite Movies?

Favorite Music (aside from Al, of course)

Left handed? Right handed?

If money was no object, what one thing would you do?

Have any hobbies?

What's the most exciting thing you've ever done?

Do you have any special interests or hidden talents?

I think that's enough. Go ahead...live life large & let us get to know you. :)
