UniqueMystique said: "How do you relax?
---Long, hot bath with the faucett trickling water the entire time. I love the soothing sound of water.
Would you rather go to a party, or spend the evening at home, alone with your family (or with one close friend)?
---Depends on my mood that day. I like to go and do things but I also like spending time at home with my kids and friends.
If you could go back in time and relive one day in your life, which
day would you choose and why?
---My first time seeing and being on the beach.....because I could sense that that's where I'm really supposed to be.
If you could go back and CHANGE one day in your life, what would you change and why?
---I don't think I'd change anything. Yes, I've had bad times and hardships.....but they've made me the person that I am today.....and I actually kinda like myself.
What age did you enjoy most in your life so far and would you like to go back?
---I'm actually enjoying my "current" age the most....so, there's no going back!

spectrachic311 said: "Do you like your given name?
Yes, I like it a lot...it's unique and fun.
Which of these activities would you rather do..bike riding/swimming/bowling/dancing/walk in the park?
It's a tie between bike riding and walking in the park. Both with my husband...we love to bike together and walk our dog in the park. I can't swim and I stink at bowling and dancing though :)
Next question:
Do you speak any foreign languages? Which one(s)? Are there any languages you'd like to learn?
I speak Spanish pretty fluently and I know a little French. I'd LOVE to learn German since most of my relatives and all my husband's relatives are German. It'd be kind of neat to look up family history in the actual documents and stuff :)"
DBrew said: "I hardly ever relax because it makes me nervous. I like to always be doing something. I really love music. I like doing my nails, and drawing pics. I like watching movies and reruns of my favorite TV series. I love to cook and shop, write poetry and go to the park with my children and husband.
I can not realy think of any day I would want to live again. There are so many good ones but none of them stand out and say"pick me! Pick me!". I hope someday I will have a day like that.
I do have alot of days where I have said or done things that I regretted but I can not really pick a worst one. It would be nice to have an eraser that could get rid of all those mistakes and everyone would forget they ever happened. When I was a teen I did alot of partying and that was pretty bad. I wish I could have lived a more normal life as a child. I think if I did, I would not have had so many emotional problems that led towards the party scene. I wish I could learn to eliminate negative thoughts, feelings,. and self depreciation. I am much better at not doing this then I used to be. I have been on a journey towards loveing myself and going easier the past few years and I really am getting better, abnd finally starting to get the hang of being a real adult. It is not easy.
Okay- I just thought of the day I would want to live over again. It is such a cute day and the first day my husband and I kissed. We had been out all night and kwe were both 17. We knew I would be in really big trouble and at this point we had just been talking and hanging out. So, we finally kissed and I was sitting on him and facing him. When we were done kissing, I told him we should be "lab partners" and do experiments like this together more often. Then I hugged him and I said without looking at him " Do you want to be lab partners or do you want to be my boyfriend"? He said" I will be your boyfriend". I felt like I was floating on air and thinking back has now gotten me all teary eyed and nostalgic. If only I could think of things like this when I am really annoyed with him!"
DBrew said: "I love the time in my life right now but I really miss when my husband and I first moved out on our own. We could go when we wanted and do what we wanted and just be free. The world was our oyster and we could be together and have fun. It is a time I wish I could relive. I would change some of my behaviours but I loved that time. I was 18-19. Then, I had my son and I grew up."

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]I am very happy so I would not want to.
The first thing that popped into my head was the night my dad died. For the longest time I felt like I should have tried to stop him from driving away instead of just watching him drive away after i asked him not to go or let me go with. But now I feel it happened for a reason and my life would be much different if it hadn't happened.[/FONT]

Kat_the_Amazon said: "[I]How do you relax?[/I]
Soaking in a bubble bath with a good book. Or riding :)
[I]Would you rather go to a party, or spend the evening at home, alone with your family (or with one close friend)?[/I]
Spend the time with family.. or go to a party with my close friends/family
[I]If you could go back in time and relive one day in your life, which
day would you choose and why?[/I]
I'm not sure. I've had lots of great days. Maybe the day that Reno and I had the best cross-country run of our life. Knowing it would be the last horse trial we would ever compete in. It was sad, but man.. the FEELING. The feeling of galloping with your partner and jumping everything in your way. Awesome. I'd probably will want to relive my wedding day over and over again (hasn't happened yet- April 26 of next year *hopefully*)
[I]If you could go back and CHANGE one day in your life, what would you change and why?[/I]
Well, if i had to choose it would be the day that i allowed my ex's friends to talk me into not breaking up with him. We were only 3 months in and i knew it was not going anywhere. And since i stayed with him... few years down the line he turned psycho! BUT if i had broken up with him, where would i be today? Would i have ever met Jason, my fiance? Probably not. It was Jason that gave me the courage to leave Dustin for good. (we were broken for over a year when Jason came into the picture, but Dustin thought we were still together. In that year, Dustin tried everything to have me near him- telling me that his dad died, his mom died, his sister got in a coma, his sister getting molested by his step-dad, him shooting himself in the stomach, and the worst- him telling me that he talked to my step-dad (who is in jail for molesting me and for child abuse) and believed him.) ANYWAY. So i probably wouldn't change anything.
[I]What age did you enjoy most in your life so far and would you like to go back?[/I]
I am really loving this time of my life right now. I am currently happy with every aspect of my life. I really enjoyed the late teens-early twenties.. that period was good because my horse and i kicked ass!
[I]Do you like your given name.....why or why not?[/I]
Yes. Katharine is a family name and i'm proud to carry it.
[I]What activity out of these would you most enjoy doing and why?bike riding/swimming/bowling/dancing/walk in the park?[/I]
Um, Probably bike riding. And bowling. really like bowling. Horseback riding isn't on the list :( but it's my fav!
[I]Do you speak any foreign languages? Which one(s)? Are there any languages you'd like to learn?[/I]
Nope. Took french in middle/high school. Didn't really learn anything. In college i learned attic greek, which i can read fairly well. Can't really speak it seeing it is a dead language and one can only speculate on how it was spoken ;)
[I]If you were a kitchen utensil what would you be and why? [/I]
Hum.. I think probably a mixing bowl. Everyone needs a mixing bowl. Plus, a bowl doesn't get in people's mouths.
*next question*
Do you find pleasure in cleaning?
I do, but it's hard for me to get started (i have a load of dishes that i need to do that i keep putting off...). Once i get started, it's really hard for me to stop.. and don't get in my way!
PS. Ignore all of grammer and spelling mistakes. I rode for about 4 hours today and i'm kind of tired.. and i have a headache (dehydrated)."
klynnfosh said: "How do I relax? Well usually at home on the couch watching a movie or favorite show and drinking hot tea in the winter or a cold drink in the summer. I also like to work puzzle books and read. For the party or a night in? It would be at home with family or spend time with just one close friend. I do go to a few parties but I always feel out of place. For the day I would like to go back in time, it may sound odd but the day my mom died. I was with her at the hospital and came to work for a few hours and I should have stayed with her and been there for her. I loved her dearly and I miss her everyday. Today actually would have been her birthday so she is really on my mine. Now to my question? What age did you enjoy the best in your life this far and would you want to go back? I would say my 30's when my kids were young and sometimes I wish I could do it over and made a few different choices along the way. I also enjoyed them being young and I am beginning to feel my age, I will be 47 next week although a lot of people say I don't look that old. So what age did you like best?"
klynnfosh said: "I did ask a new question but because it is all ran together maybe you didn't see it.
My question was What age did you enjoy most in your life so far and would you like to go back?"
HDales said: "How do you relax?
Bath, movie, reading.. getting my boyfriend to tickle me.. :D
Would you rather go to a party, or spend the evening at home, alone with your family (or with one close friend)?
Evening at home.. sometimes I like to go out though but for the most part at home.
If you could go back in time and relive one day in your life, which
day would you choose and why?
The day my hunnie told me he loved me. It was a very happy day :)
If you could go back and CHANGE one day in your life, what would you change and why?
The day I decided i wanted to go into singing lessons. I was 8 yrs old and my singing instructor would get REALLY mad if I didn't hit the proper notes & she would push me and grab my arm so hard she left bruises. Now I have some sort of mental block where I won't sing in front of anyone because I am scared they will ridicule me.
What age did you enjoy most in your life so far and would you like to go back?
I love my life now and I loved my life when I was 17ish.
Do you like your given name.....why or why not?
Yes I like it. It was picked special just for meee.
What activity out of these would you most enjoy doing and why?bike riding/swimming/bowling/dancing/walk in the park?
walk in the park or dancing. I like dancing I took a swing/jive class and it was super fun. I also like walking around the lake. (its about 7kms)
Do you speak any foreign languages? Which one(s)? Are there any languages you'd like to learn?
Nope. & maybe italian someday.
If you were a kitchen utensil what would you be and why?
hmm.. no idea. how about sporks.. because they are just odd(in a fun way).. and i am too :D
Do you find pleasure in cleaning?
I never used to but lately I find myself enjoying it. Since moving in with my boyfriend I've wanted to keep it neat and tidy.
New question - What animal/insect/reptile scares you the most?
I don't like wolves or slugs or large spiders."
Diamond said: "I like to light some aromatherapy candles and take a nice long bath when I'm feeling stressed. Bubbles are a bonus!"
lakelady said: "OK, I think I get it echo. I relax in the winter propped up on the couch by the fire with a good book or movie, and in the summer, pretty much the same thing, but on the deck.
Next question. Given your druthers, would you rather go to a party, or spend the evening at home, alone with your family (or with one close friend)?
I like the occasional party, but I give excuses for way more than I attend. I'm a homebody at heart."
lakelady said: "[COLOR="Magenta"]Q[/COLOR];If you could go back in time and relive one day in your life, which
day would you choose and why?
[COLOR="magenta"]A[/COLOR]; It's hard to pick, but I think, (and yes, I KNOW it's cliche) I'd have to pick my wedding day. I remember being just so full of joy all that day I was just giddy!
[COLOR="magenta"]New Q[/COLOR]; If you could go back and CHANGE one day in your life, what would you change and why?
[COLOR="magenta"]my answer[/COLOR]; When my oldest three were 15, 13, and 11 hubby and I were taking them on their dream vacation to disneyworld and then a 5 star hotel on the beach for the purpose of announcing to them that we were having another baby. We knew it was going to be a BIG adjustment for them. I told the travel agent why we were taking this vacation, and I TOLD the idiot it was a secret, but when I got to the agency to pick up the tickets, all three kids in tow, and no hubby, she smiled a big smile and said cheerily, "so, when is your baby due?" My daughters burst into tears and my son looked like he was about to. The vacation helped, but I'd give anything to go back and NOT have told that moron agent the reason for the trip. This was NOT how I wanted my kids to find out!"

Do you like your given name.....why or why not?

fred said: "How do you relax?
Lately by working in my garden. Although it's starting to get on top of me and turn into more of a chore.
Would you rather go to a party, or spend the evening at home, alone with your family (or with one close friend)?
It depends on my mood. Some days I crave the company of large groups of people. I get pretty manic about it and become very open and friendly. But too often I'd rather just read a book and play some good music on the stereo.
If you could go back in time and relive one day in your life, which
day would you choose and why?
Yesterday. It was a VERY good day.
If you could go back and CHANGE one day in your life, what would you change and why?
The day of my motorcycle wreck. I messed my body up fairly badly. Tore an ACL, did back damage, got some road rash. I'll always have health problems from that. I'd relive that day and I'd slow down before that blind curve.
What age did you enjoy most in your life so far and would you like to go back?
My life has gotten better as I've gotten older and wiser.
Do you like your given name.....why or why not?
I used to hate being named Frederic and always being called Fred, Farmer Fred, Freddy Kruger, etc. I went so far as to go by a different name for ten years. Now, I'm fine with my name.
What activity out of these would you most enjoy doing and why?
Swimming, especially if it's snorkeling or SCUBA.
Fred"
mariposa said: "Wow, don't know if I can remember all the questions:roll:
I read and sit outside to relax. If I am really stressed I love to get on a horse and ride off for a long walk through the woods.
I love the age I am and would not want to go back.
There is no day I would want to relive ...just enjoy today. If I had to pick a day, it would probably be
the day my daughter was born. I was giddy with happiness and the world seemed full of promises.
Things I wish I could change.....take back any harsh words I have said.
I like evenings at home.
I love being in the water....
Are you a morning person or a night person? I used to be a real sleepy head in the mornings. I have not had the luxury of sleeping in in so many years now I don't even when I could. But my brain really does not get into gear until about 10 am. I used to be really going great when others were tired and ready to quit about 3 or 4.:wave: :wave: :wave:"
