"Getting to know you...

[M4P]

They call here at election time as well. I like to quiz them

Will you be voting?

 

[dynk]

I always vote, but refuse to cast a vote for our governor candidates, both should be shot at daybreak

BTW I am on the Lowell Election Commission


Do you always vote also?

 

[M4P]

I vote as well. Even if I don't like the candidates I try to choose the best of the worst

Do you believe your vote makes a difference?

 

[M4P]

About 10 years ago - it was a 3 day cruise from San Diego to Cabo. I loved it

Have you ever donated your time to help your favourite political candidate?

 

[dynk]

I have campaigned for a few in this state, and had to stop when I joined the Election Commission.

do you campaign for anyone?

 

[pjlikesporn]

I have worked for Election Protection, ensuring that any funny business at the polls is immediately reported so that we can raise legal challenges--just what everyone wants in an election!


Name a place you've wanted to visit for a long time but never actually visited.

 

[GL]

New Zealand. All of it.

Yourself?

 

[M4P]

Germany. I have not been to Europe and, when we do go, Germany will be our first country to visit

Have you ever been lost in a strange city and felt nervous?

 

[dynk]

I was lost in DC for about a half hour my second night there. It was kind of scary, not a person in sight, and dark. Finally found a cab driver who directed me back to my hotel.

How about you?

 

[GL]

So far I've been lucky and have not found myself in such a spot. Thankfully.

The holidays are just around the corner now, do you put up any lights outside?

 

[GL]

Yeah, I do. But I don't let it ruin it for me.

Yourself?

 

[M4P]

It certainly is. We've cut back and try to keep the gift buying to a minimum

Do you ever wish you could just go away at Christmas to avoid all the family BS?

 

[M4P]

Christmas. I do enjoy getting together with friends and family at small gatherings leading up to the big day

Will you be taking a winter vacation this year?

 

[GL]

No, unfortunately. I'll probably take time off to spend the holidays with the family as usual.

Yourself?

 

[M4P]

Yes, we'll be in Puerto Vallarta for two weeks in February. I may also sneak another week off to take my mother to Mazatlan - possibly in March

Do you prefer summer or winter vacations?

 

[TaigaStar]

Summer vacations, because you can walk arounbd and see things without wearing a blanket for warmth.

Do you manscape?

 

[GL]

Not really. I'm fairly smooth as it were.

Yourself?

 

[TaigaStar]

Occasionally. I mainly want to get rid of hair on my back by my shoulderblades, but I can't reach it myself. I don't normally walk around shirtless, so I don't get self-conscious about it.

How big is your home?

 

[M4P]

Detached: 3 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, front drive garage, 1750 square feet

Same ?

 

[TaigaStar]

I'm in contract for a co-op: 2nd floor garden apartment; 3 bed, 1 bath, LR, DR, efficiency kitchen (open to LR and DR), 1200 sq. feet plus an attic that spans above the entire apartment.

Do you prefer wall-to-wall carpeting or wood flooring?
