3. Do you own a gun? There was a brief time when my husband was a guard (as a part time job) and HAD to have a gun to do work in a bank. So when he came home with it, he unloaded it, put it in a suitcase, and then put it high on a shelf in a closet. That was a LONG time ago.

Not many people can say they've BOUNCED in Paris!
Ouch- I hope I didn't ruin your trip there.
I'm sipping my coffee while reading about you.
This is a fun meme! I may have to try it myself!
I don't love all memes, but this one was pretty interesting.
You have to elaborate on how you learned to wolf whistle in Latin class. I'm wracking my brain trying to imagine the circumstances. And, were students really allowed to smoke in class?
NC Mtn Wmn--to explain.
Whistling in Latin class--as best I recall, it was one day while the teacher was out. A fellow student showed me that if I put two fingers on each hand together in a V, then use them to fold my tongue over, then blow, it would produce a whistle. And how! It's the only thing I really remember from Latin--except amo, amas, amat.
As for smoking in class--this was grad school in the mid to late 1960s. And yes, students and professors were permitted to smoke in class. These were evening seminars that were 3 hours long--not that the explanation makes it better, but it might help put the permission into context. I just remember being so frustrated that a smoking student, when called upon, would take a l-o-n-g drawn out time to answer, while those of us who didn't smoke had to snap to it.
As you can tell, times have changed.
That was fun Donna! And your answers were very entertaining indeed. :c)
My sister, like you, likes to go to London as her daughter works there at the National Museum of Science.
I also went through that sore shoulder rehab but it was the result of a tree I was felling, falling on it.
How many TV's will you be junking next month?
Did it.
I didn't know you hurt your shoulder in Paris. That does not sound fun at all. I am glad you didn' break it though.
Doesn't leave much to the imagination does it? I liked your clever answers.
wait a second.....is plaid really a color???
Good answers Donna, I enjoyed the chuckles!
Root beer Koolaid? Oh, you are being funny :o)
I had fun reading this, Donna. You had fun, too, I think.
Mary
Yeah, but what COLOR plaid?????
I'm the same way with FETA cheese, instead of bleu....I love it so much I make myself sick. So I don't allow myself to buy any. Self-denial is good for the intestines...I mean soul.
