Yes. The date in question is 20 March 1983.

Old before you die or die before you're old?

Nobody messes with the Wolfman! :P


Do you have a theme song for yourself?

A winter's day
In a deep and dark
December
I am alone
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow
I am a rock
I am an island

I've built walls
A fortress deep and mighty
That none may penetrate
I have no need of friendship, friendship causes pain
It's laughter and it's loving I disdain
I am a rock
I am an island

Don't talk of love
But I've heard the words before
It's sleeping in my memory
I won't disturb the slumber of feelings that have died
If I never loved I never would have cried
I am a rock
I am an island

I have my books
And my poetry to protect me
I am shielded in my armor
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb
I touch no one and no one touches me
I am a rock
I am an island

And a rock feels no pain
And an island never cries

Simon & Garfunkel, 1966

My ex-fiancée used to like that song, too.

When did you first hear "Between a rock and a hard place?" I didn't hear it until after high school LOL

You mean The Stones song?

I don't remember when I first heard it. If you mean the idiom, I think I was about twelve. I was very bad with idioms as you know (so many funny examples).

Nice song though.

I'll be a couple hours still.

Do you like Starbucks?

I meant the idiom. Never actually knew that the Stones had a song of that name.

Do you like The Stones?

I don't know them----but that's a cool name, especially since one of my "special interests" happens to be the weather.

Mountains scenery, or plains scenery?

rolling hill mountains, but not snow-covered peaks

Goodness. I keep doing the wrong thread. Sorry :(

You're still a good egg, Isabella :wink:

Do you, sometimes, like using "old-fashioned" expressions and words like "neato," "swell," "groovy," and that ilk?

My old-fashioned words are circa 1840s but yes, I dig the other ones! They're super groovy too! :heart:

Don't even ask about the 1980s California vernacular I endured for two years! Lol.

Have you ever felt afraid on a flight?

I've felt a little afraid in small planes---not really in larger jets.

I get a slight tinge of fear whenever they demonstrate the life jackets.

I, usually, refuse to fly in a very small plane (less than about 10 passengers).


Same question.

Are you pursuing any kind of sport?


@domineekee I love Weather Report. You cannot beat Joe Zawinul, Wayne Shorter, and of course Jaco

Up until a few years ago, I used to play softball quite a bit. I sucked. I batted less than .200 even in slow-pitch leagues. But I enjoyed just trying to get on base, and score runs.

Baseball, or cricket?

I can't recall being scared, but there was one time we circled for what seemed to be an eternity prior to landing (there was a reason, but I can't remember?), and I started to panic because I felt dizzy / sick from the circling motion.

Do you like marshmallows?

I used to love them, but since i am a vegan there is no possibility to eat them anymore..


What was the first movie you saw in the movie theater?
