Originally Posted By tapdancemom 1. Which do you prefer: oversized, comfy furniture or smaller, tailored furniture? In a family room it's oversized, comy and for a living room smaller, tailored. 2. What color/colors are your home decorated in? bedroom is forest green and burgandy, downstairs bathroom pink and white, main bathroom turquise and silver (retro thing going on), Master bathroom is nothing particular and living room and family room is blue. 3. Do you have mixmatched dishes, glasses, silverware in your kitchen, or does everything match? Describe. The dishes are cream with a southwestern type border. Glasses are a total mismatch but faves are an old fashioned pepsi mug glass and a Mickey Mouse glass. Lots of Disney mugs and others with grandson Andre's picture on them. Bonus question: What's your favorite cocktail? I like Mudslides and frozen Strawberry Margaritas.

Originally Posted By Labuda 1. Would you rather be without your sight or your hearing? Why? Hearing - I'm way too into reading and already use closed captions and can semi-read lips as is, so not as much of an adjustment for me to lose the rest of my hearing. Heck, I was already half deaf once in my life anyway. 2. If you won a million dollars and had to give half to a charity, what would be the charity of your choice and why? ALSA - Amyotrophic Latersclerosis Association. Why? Self preservation - I want a treatment that will stop its progression, or better yet - a CURE sometime in the next 15 years before I get to the age where it's most likely to hit. (For those who don't know, ALS is also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease or Motor Neuron Disease and is a fatal neuromuscular disease that killed my Daddy. Typically strieks 1 in 100,000 and is random, but in our fmaily's case, it is familial. Which means that since our Daddy died of it, each of my brothers and I have a 50-50 chance of developing it like Daddy, Grandma, Aunt Cookie, Uncle Paul, Great Granddad Makovy and so on.) 3. What would you do with the other half? pay off debt, give some money to my Mama as a thank you for being the bestest Mommy EVER, then buy a small house (i.e., 3 bedroom, around 2500 sq ft) as close as possible to WDW property and quickly get the rest invested with the help of a financial advisor. p.s. My million was tax free, for the record. hehe ----------------------- 1. Have you ever seen a Disney musical, either on Broadway or elsewhere? If so, which? If not, why not? 2.

Originally Posted By Lisann22 1. Have you ever seen a Disney musical, either on Broadway or elsewhere? If so, which? If not, why not? Beauty and the Beast in LA The Lion King in NY and LA Aida in NY Lion King was my favorite. The costumes and set just amazed me. 2. If you won a million dollars and had to give half to a charity, what would be the charity of your choice and why? Either Habitat for Humanity or Hefer's International. Both help people better their lives through independance and self-reliance. 3. What would you do with the other half? 1. Pay off my house 2. Travel for 3 months, come back 3.

Originally Posted By Labuda 1. What other nationalities cultural ways have always fascinated you and why? Egypt - pyramids. 'nuff said. those from New England - they're American, yeah, but soooooooo different than Texans Australia & England - well, England is our mother country, Oz is home to koalas & some REAL cool accents Native Americans - I just always enjoyed reading about 2. If you could go to cooking school, decorating school which one would you choice and why? Cooking school, as then maybe I'd be able to make something without a recipe. I can actually cook very well when I set my mind to it, but without a recipe, I am L O S T. 3. If they told you tomorrow you could no longer speak English, but you could speak what language you would instantly know, which would you pick and why? Japanese - I jsut think that would be a handy language to be fluent in in this day & age. ----------------------------- 1. If you could visit one place on this planet and be guaranteed you'd be 100% safe at all times, where would you go and why? 2. How many continents have you visited? 3.

Originally Posted By tapdancemom 1. If you could visit one place on this planet and be guaranteed you'd be 100% safe at all times, where would you go and why? Right now I guess I'd choose Thailand. I would like to do something to help the victims of the Tsunami, work with the children. 2. How many continents have you visited? Only North America. I've been to British Columbia several times and Nova Scotia once. Enjoyed the people and the countryside. New York once, alone to study dance. Wish I could have shared the experience with someone. Went all over the city alone, young and unafraid. Loved the shows, wanted to stay and try out to be a Rockette. Oklahoma, Michigan and all the western states. Mexico too. 3. Tell us about your favorite family vacation when you were a kid. We never took big family vacations, five kids and not a lot of spare, fun money. My mom and sisters and I did go back to Detroit to visit grandma, aunts, uncles and loads of cousins. We traveled by train, the unfun part of the trip, but had a super time with our cousins sightseeing and just being kids. ----------------- 1. Tell us about your favorite family vacation when you were a kid. 2. Describe your wedding day or the wedding day of your dreams. 3. What was your favorite subject in grade school, high school and college.
Originally Posted By Kar2oonMan 1. Tell us about your favorite family vacation when you were a kid. When I was 15, we took a couple of weeks and drove from the SF Bay Area to Oregon and into Seattle. We took the long, scenic route, stopping off at all sorts of roadside attractions, many of which no longer exist. We toured the Oregon Caves, rode on the Rogue River in a jet boat, stopped at all sorts of funky little shops and curiosities. Just a great time, and my best friend came along with us. Upon returning home, there was a huge surprise 16th birthday party for me. I was completely surprised and in shock -- after all that time on the road, it was the last thing I'd think of. My aunt & a friend had redecorated my room, complete with a cool 70's Space Mountain poster & a waterbed (hey, it was the 70s.) 2. Describe your wedding day or the wedding day of your dreams. Our wedding day was fantastic. We were married in a very small 100+ year old church. I hadn't been nervous about the wedding at all. At about 7AM, our little ringbearer knocked on my door at said "Only a few hours until the wedding!" That did it. Even though everything was in place, I freaked out. I was shaking like a leaf. After all the pre-ceremony photos (me and my family, me and my best man, him posed looking at his watch -- so corny) I had calmed a bit. But the clock was ticking closr and closer to noon, and still no sign of the minister. I kept looking out and seeing more and more people arriving, no minister. Finally, at about 2 minutes to noon, he popped in to the area we were waiting in. He was wearing green camouflage, combat boots, his hair was a mess. He was in the reserves, as it turns out. "You ready?" he asked. "Yeah... are YOU?" I said. He showed us where to wait at the front of the church, and then there I was, standing there in front of everyone, kind of in a surreal dreamstate. I can't remember much until after the bridesmaids had walked down the aisle, because I kept wondering what it felt like to faint, and if i were going to. Then the future Mrs. 2oon began walking down the aisle with her dad, and I didn't feel like I was going to faint anymore. All the morning's stress was gone, and I was focused on how beautiful she looked. While saying our vows, I momentarily wondered how in the world the minister got ready so fast. here he was in beautiful robes, hair neatly combed. And I happened to look down for a moment and noticed that he was wearing his combat boots -- and surely his camo underneath the religious garb! I'll never forget that, nor how hard it was to fight off a huge case of the giggles from that point on. The reception was a blast -- I don't like to dance at all, but that day I did. We never did eat any of the food what with trying to spend a few moments with all the guests -- about 150. And I didn't notice that my groosmen had all taken off for quite awhile. I had foolishly told them where we'd be staying that night, and they talked their way into the hotel room and set up all sorts of pranks there. That was 20 years ago this Novemeber, but it doesn't seem that long ago. 3. What was your favorite subject in grade school, high school and college. Art and creative writing throughout. Loved high school science, too. Good questions. Let's do them again!

We tried "Haggis" and no-one told me what was in it so at the time I liked it! I remember looking with all my heart to find "nessy" but never did see her 2. Describe your wedding day or the wedding day of your dreams. My wedding day was FANTASTIC! I loved every minute of it. However it was the FUNNIEST day ever! We had a magnificent garden wedding, in the middle of Summer at the botanical gardens with Sydney harbour as the back-drop ( breath-taking) yet as my step-dad and I was travelling to the gardens in a beautiful 1926 Buick the sky opened up and a massive storm hit us, luckily the top was up! This was the biggest tropical storm I have ever experienced in Sydney. Everyone was in a huge rush and running everywhere it was hysterical. I was left in the car and looking out from my veil I could just see mad PANIC! After waiting what felt like an eternity, I decided to take matters into my own hands and exit the car to calm eveyone down! LOL It worked, as soon as all my family and friends saw that I was smiling and happy they all relaxed. I knew it was all ok because I could see Barry and I didn't care what the weather was doing! During our service the lovely rocks behind us turned into a waterfall but I didn't mind as the photo's came out beautifully, it looked like we planned it. After the service the bridesmaids car went floating off down the road, ( with several men running after it!) and the SES closed the gardens and we were stuck in the coffee shop with all our guests for 2 hours. (They all tell me now they enjoyed that the best as they got to spend time with Barry and I and I couldn't wipe the smile off my face!) When we finally got to the reception centre we found out they had no power (haha) and so the food had to be brought in by taxi from elsewhere. So we got candles light around the room and dancefloor and boogied the night away and had a blast! I just remember being the happiest girl in the world and nothing was going to dampen our day. In fact 15 years on our friends still remember our wedding, how many other weddings are remembered! 3. What was your favorite subject in grade school, high school and college. I really liked Ancient History, but I had a talent for English and took 3 unit English ( harder) and came very high in my year. However I failed dismally in Maths and I'm still terrible with numbers! questions in a moment

Originally Posted By TiggerPooh1973 Q1. Do you like your name? What would you like to be called? Not really, it's kind of plain. Oprah Winfrey! Ok, ok Regina Philanges. Q2. Do you excercise? What do you do? Sometimes, not as often as I should. I do take Lilo for a few walks everyday. We have a Bowflex that hubby uses all the time, but I have been so busy lately, it's the last thing I want to do when I get home. So I try to to situps before I go to bed and I have some small weights by the side of the bed I use. We have a pool too, so I swim. Q3. I know it's hard to select just one but what is your favourite Album ( music) of all time? That is hard. Maybe "Dark Side of the Moon", maybe Disney's Greatest Hits (whatever those volumes are called), It is too hard to pick one and I like so many different styles of music.
