Hi Ginger. Bet you didn't expect that.
Outstanding!!!

It was not really a pickup line. It was just a statement of truth. I said, "You are the perfect person for me and if you think I am for you, then we should get married." Four dates later we were engaged.
Do you think marriage is becoming an outdated concept since people are living so long? Why?

I have done it many times. It is a truly joyful experience.
If you were driving at a high rate of speed and four people stepped right out in front of you, and your only alternative to hitting and probably killing them was to serve onto the sidewalk where one person was standing that would probably be killed; what would you do?
What if the four were octogenarians and on the sidewalk was a 8 year-old child; would that change your decision? What if the 4 in the road were 9 to 7 years of age and the person on the sidewalk was 80 years old, would you do it different then?
This is a question of morality and ethics that has come up in Philosophy classes.

Rarely, but I often do my nightmares.
Have you ever met someone so handsome/beautiful that you could not speak well?

Can that happen?
Yes it is possible, but not assured. I expect May is the earliest possible for any compettition.

Oh I want to see that movie! Tell me if it is worthy to be seen!!
It was good, but not great. I would give it a 6.5 out of 10. I thought 'Cloverfield' the original was a 7.0. It is entirely different kind of movie than 'Cloverfield'. Much slower paced and very little action until the very end. Almost a psychological thriller genre with 20 minutes of action/sci-fi at the end. Acting was very good. I believe most people may find its pacing too slow throughout most of the movie.

Going to see '10 Cloverfield Lane' today in 4D. Can not get it out of my mind, I am so excited.

What would everyone think of a parallel competition? Two simultaneous competitions with the same parameters/rules except one would be micro-fiction and one would be poetry; and you could enter both (with different pieces) or just one.

I do not slap, but I have broken a few noses and a jaw once. Yes, I can be as stupid as anyone.

"Complete" or "Finished"?
I have often had difficulty defining the difference between complete and finished. I mother sent me a little E-mail quip.
During a recent linguistic conference, held in London the question was asked to make that very distinction. The question from audience was this: "Some say there is no difference between 'complete' and 'finished.' Please explain the difference in a way that is easy to understand."
The response: "When you marry the right woman, you are 'complete.' If you marry the wrong woman, you are 'finished.' And, if the right one catches you with the wrong one, you are 'completely finished.'"
His answer received a five minute standing ovation.
Thought you might all enjoy this.

Oyakodon - Japanese rice bowl dish, in which chicken, egg, sliced scallion (or sometimes regular onions), and other ingredients are all simmered together in a sauce and then served on top of a large bowl of rice. Very yummy!!!

I understand why you are a wolf. Your funny picture made me 'howl' with laughter.
