| pamelabeth | Posted – 6/9/2008 6:14:46 AM | show profile have now gone back and read everyone's answers. how embarrassing that i mentioned the naked-hallway thing when i could have just said i'm a freak about grammar and typos, which i am! and re green: i also don't own a car--don't need to here. and i go to the farmers' market every week. a question about garbage bags. i use the plastic bags from grocery stores as garbage bags (and use the paper ones as bags for my paper recycling). if i were not taking plastic bags from grocery stores, wouldn't i then be buying plastic garbage bags? would that be better? please explain. |

Some of you may recall that I said I don't have the need to recycle bottles because I think tap water is healthy and, therefore, don't buy it. This author takes the issue to a provocative new level. Looks like an interesting book - especially if we want to live a green life. |

Has a spouse or partner of a friend ever hit on you, and if so, how did you handle it? No. 4. Have you ever questioned your sexuality? No. 5. In what ways do you live "green?" Conserve wherever possible, recycle frequently, switched from an SUV to a Mini (though I still comuute too far). When we can afford it, my wife and I plan to solarize our house, install a wood-burning stove, and get as off the grid as much as possible. 6. Have you ever seen something in the sky such as a UFO, that you just couldn't explain? Yup. Back when I was about 13. Some points of light in the sky that couldn't have been planes, helicopters, stars, satellites, or searchlights. 7. In what ways are you a freak? I think the fact that in a lot of good ways I haven't lost the child in me. And that I'm a vast font of useless knowledge. My wife calls me "her Walking Wikipedia". 8. What is the biggest risk you have taken this week? The halibut cheeks at a stunningly overpriced San Francisco restaurant. 9. Do you think there is someone at this very moment thinking about you? Just one? Right now, probably not. They're asleep. 10. Are you presently keeping a juicy secret? I carry a few, which stay with me. ~Bonus Question~ Time for our random rant. What would you like to get off your chest? I could rail on about our incompetent Washington Press Corps or the pathetic state of journalism in America or the vast deficiencies of both political parties or the sad decline of common courtesy in America or why certain national leaders should be in jail, but it's late. So I'll just address the losers who think the left lane of the highway is theirs and theirs alone. You know the type--they go a few miles over the limit in the left and NEVER pull over. And when you try and pass them? Then and ONLY then, they speed up, but just to keep you from passing. They are left lane losers who should be pulled to the side of the road and made to sit there for at least an hour for wasting everyone's time and screwing up the traffic patterns. And people who don't use their turn signals should be ticketed. |
