[Hostile]

1. What is the reason behind selecting the avatar image that you have put up? It is football related and it is my favorite actor John Wayne when he was a DT at USC. He was a cowboy in real life and in the movies, so it just seemed to fit for me.

2. If you were forced to eliminate every physical possession from your life with the exception of what could fit into a single backpack, what would you put in it? My scriptures, photos of my family, and anything I felt I could sneak past the guards.

3. What is the most valuable life lesson you learned from your parent/parents? How to treat people.

4. What white lies do you often tell? I don't think I do. At least not intentionally. I did as a fireman when I told people it wasn't so bad and it often was. I was trying to calm them down.

5. What's on deck for the weekend? Painting the outside of the house tomorrow, Church on Sunday.

 

[Faerluna]

1. What is the reason behind selecting the avatar image that you have put up?

It's The Cheat from Homestar Runner. I'm a fan of Strong Bad Email.

2. If you were forced to eliminate every physical possession from your life with the exception of what could fit into a single backpack, what would you put in it?

A toothbrush, hairbands, money, phone, pictures, Kindle

3. What is the most valuable life lesson you learned from your parent/parents?

This is more because of my parents than from them: Save for retirement and start early. If you haven't started yet, start now.

4. What white lies do you often tell?

I try not to. It's never productive and you have to remember what you said that wasn't exactly true. Can make for awkward situations.

5. What's on deck for the weekend?

Work, adoption stand

5. What's on deck for the weekend?

1. Layne Staley from Alice In Chains, one of my favorite bands, one of my favorite singers; from the song/video "Them Bones", one of my favorite songs. Used it to pay homage to his memory and to show that I will never forget him.

2. This is a deep and difficult question. Some favorite family photos, some small things my kids made me when they were little, a change of clothing, my dad's ipod and charger, the ring my dad gave my mom on their 40th wedding anniversary (although this would probably be on my finger), my dad's set of keys (that I carry with me every where I go), my pomeranian (can't live without him ), and my mother's urn.

3. Love is a verb, not a noun; forgive; and always enjoy a beautiful sunset.

4. That I am doing alright. Since my mother died I have not been alright.

5. Spending the full first weekend with my husband in a month, since he has been working on a shutdown at his job, meaning 10-12 hours almost every day (only two days off in 30 days). We will do lots of things, or we will do nothing, and we will enjoy every minute of it!

1. It's an illustration I did that I happen to like.

3. Faith and hard work.

4. I can't think of anything beyond not telling the truth about someone's appearance in order to not insult them. But it's possible whatever it is has become so natural that it's invisible to me by now.
