1. I don't know. The things I do for money I kind of like doing, so I would them any way, just in my own time and at my own pace.

2. My job.

3. Aisle seat?

4. So many lies from the same person, I could fill this thread... He told me he works for the FBI and is protecting the country while I'm asleep. He does nothing of the sort.

5. Eat, drink, sleep and be merry.

Travel. Lots of it.

2. What’s something you do more quickly than most people?


Type with 7 fingers. I never took typing lessons, but I type quite a bit for work, and am on the computer more than the average person. I only use about 7 fingers to type (thumb and first two fingers on both hands, right pinkie), and I'm pretty fast.

3. Window seat or aisle seat?


Window

4. What's the stupidest lie that someone really thought you'd believe?


When we were getting our heat pump/exterior AC unit replaced, we had a friend of a friend that was going to do it for cost of the units plus a few hundred dollars.

For saving us a few thousand dollars, I was very lax about the time it was taking him to get it done, because he's an older guy that did this as a side job.

When I say it took him over a year to get it done, I am not exaggerating. I hadn't paid him for anything aside from the parts, which I had at the house, so it wasn't like I was getting ripped off, per se. He was just not getting it done.

The lies came in the form of excuses as to why he would be unable to make it that weekend to put the unit in.

Over the weeks, his lies included that he was in the hospital, his wife was in the hospital, his son was at the Cleveland Clinic for cancer treatment and he was driving there from Virginia every weekend and the final weekend (before I completely lost my temper with him when our old unit finally broke down), he was in Afghanistan on a military base repairing their refrigeration units.

In the end, he did install it, but ****ed it up considerably. I got a friend of our neighbors who does HVAC to come fix it properly for a few hundred more dollars, that I was happy to pay to have it finally finished.

5. Plans for the weekend?

Work and nothing else planned so far.

1. What hobbies would you pursue if money was of no concern? I would be involved in the things I believe in most. Church, Boy Scouts of America, Little League, Pop Warner, Special Olympics, and Big Brothers.

2. What’s something you do more quickly than most people? Memorize stuff I find interesting. I don't have a pure photographic memory, but I can remember stuff really fast. Especially if I read it. I remember some things word for word that I read more than 25 years ago.

3. Window seat or aisle seat?
Aisle seat. I'm big and my shoulders stick out into the aisle easier than into the side of the plane.

4. What's the stupidest lie that someone really thought you'd believe?
That the Commanders derived their name from a type of peanut.

5. Plans for the weekend? Teaching some kids from Church about how they can be leaders instead of followers.

1. What hobbies would you pursue if money was of no concern?

Traveling. For some reason I just love staying in hotels.

2. What’s something you do more quickly than most people?

Read. I read so fast sometimes that I usually re-read books 3 or 4 times. Sometimes more.

3. Window seat or aisle seat?

Doesn't matter, because I'm not a *****. I'm not really concerned with being most comfortable.

4. What's the stupidest lie that someone really thought you'd believe?

"I only have 2 cigarettes left", as an excuse to fob you off into bumming you one. You know you have half a pack.

5. Plans for the weekend?

Bar hopping, church.

An old cowboys taught me these two poems years ago.

One day for Church, six days for fun. Your odds on making it to heaven, six to one.

Whenever I pass our little church, I linger for a visit, so that when I'm carried in, the Lord won't say, "who is it?"

I know that all to well. I try to take a nap but can't for everyone bumping in to my shoulder.
