This will depend. If we are talking about my cats, they know everything and are sworn to keep things quiet, as long as the catnip is flowing. If you mean humans, the good thing is that there are several members of my twitter family who know about as much about me[sans complete medical records] if not more than the former best friends I had when I was growing up.

In the name of full disclosure, when I do run into someone who is really has that certain something that I can place a lot of trust in, then I let them know everything....and I mean everything. Better to be honest than to be a dishonest lotharia who is only interested in others if there was a chance of....well use your imagination on that one, all.

Yes and with good reason. For example, I watch 'Citizen Kane' my all time fave due to it foreshadowing the rise or rather, the return of 'yellow journalism' in the person of Rupert Murdoch, 'Field of Dreams' if only because not only am I a hardcore baseball fan, but also I have been to the town where it was filmed...and that for us who dig 3 up and 3 down, it's a shrine, 'Network' due to the fact that what was mentioned in same predated what 'The Daily Show' does...as well as what ABC did with a cousin of '20/20' and what NBC Sports did with the NFL Pregame in the 80's when these programs were aired with live audiences.

Also I make it a point to watch 'Forrest Gump' whenever it is on if only because I do understand what unrequited love is and I have that for a couple people..[which those who know me know who they are] and there is 'United 93' for reasons which come down to..never forget the sacrifice...and that Leroy Homer as well as Todd Beamer are real heroes compared to a lot of folks who are casually called that.

There are several on the list. Aside from the UK where I have quite a few friends, there is The Netherlands because of the fact that there are several folks I am close to...as close as one can be via social networking....who I want to meet in person and say face to face what we have been doing online [and a few of those I want to let them know how special they are in not just being who they are, but also how their joie d' vivire has helped me keep my sanity] as well as SE Asia, where I know a few folks who are fellow geeks.

Of course, this would be after the cats and I have that ballpark roadtrip around the US to see The Murph [San Diego], Arrowhead [KCMO], Busch [St Louis], Wrigley [Chicago], Miller Park [Milwaukee], (the frozen tundra of) Lambeau Field [Green Bay], Target Field/The HHH Metrodome [Minneapolis] and then to the Field of Dreams [Dyersville, Iowa]. My cats are sports fans.....football in particular, so that would be the reason to do this....besides, if they were my human kids, this would be something we would plan on.

Oh heck yes......there are a couple folks, but one in particular who I have had one of the most wonderful and at times fantastic exchange of ideas with. What needs to be mentioned here is that those chats were like the breath of fresh air that was needed, considering that with few local exceptions [my doc's and their staffs as well as some of the folks I am a 'shrink' for, be it at the Kroger or some of the drivers on our local bus system]....there is not much that goes on in that regard.

Although there has been a problem with some things I have said and done that may have been misinterpreted of came across as being more direct than they should have been, it does not change the fact that this person is someone who I would give my eye teeth to chat with and to hang around with. There are others who I feel that way about, although it is not to the same level...but pretty darn close.

It has to do with me telling someone, anyone who is a friend that anyone who messes with them, they in turn are messing with me. AND if they are, then I just may go all Brooklyn and Medieval on that perp in question to defend a friend.

No....contrary to popular belief, I am not that...although in some places or issues, when the radar goes off, then I am cautious. To some, that may be seen as being shy or standoffish. But it is being careful.

I would rather have love. Seeing that to be honest, sex has become cheapend to the point of it can be bought, as well as the idea there are some out there [many in my age group who have passed this on to those who are younger] as well as being used as a measuring stick, I would rather have a situation where the person and I connect on many levels.

Before someone considers this to be old fashioned and square, there was a time when what I mentioned was more the rule, than the exception.Scary how things have gone, isn't it?

Yes....and because I stunk at it, I never tried again!!!!!

I wish *S* .I am usually waking up later than most, unless there is work to be inputted or I have to have an 'oilchange' at the docs due to the fact that many of the people I am very close to live overseas, hence I am online here to chat, be a mom and tutor.

'The Hunger Games' if only because it seems to be a logical extension of what has been mentioned in 'The Handmaid's Tale' and 'The Wild Shore'. Which makes this a little more frightening than let's say vampires and werewolves. After all, in their own way, each of these talks about a future US society that may be or might be, seeing the downward spiral the US is on right now. Although, the world of 'The Hunger Games' and 'The Wild Shore' mention the US in a post war [WWIII] society.

For those in the UK, you may want to look up a similar companion piece to these, produced by BBC Manchester many years ago called 'Threads' .Another post-WWIII society but it has in common with 'The Hunger Games', a society brought back to an agrairian state [think feudal lords, the 3 field system and you get the idea].

Hmmmm....maybe. If I were to do so...for one....my cats would love to be around a couple kids for that reason. Second, I would try to have a collection of family friendly DVD's...movies, concerts and old TV programs or even bring over some books if they are so inclined. Lastly, if we were to have food around, it would be healthy items...[and if there is a need to order out...Subway].

So I guess I would be a good one...albeit a square one.

Regular, with limes or raspberry....

Where? When? Squares like myself do not get invited to any, so the question is kind of a non starter.

Oh gosh this one is complicated, because it hinges on if the political environment here, if certain healthcare issues will be curtailed...as well as if a couple friends and I could one way or the other, come to an agreement about a couple items.

It would depend on the person. The view on forgiveness from here is that the other party would have to be someone who was/is sincere about what they did. If not...then forgiveness shows to them a level of weakness, which in turn can be exploited again.

Oh gosh this is a loaded one. I'll start out with by saying my cats first...because they keep an eye out on me constantly, especially when I am ill. Then there are those who I chat with online, my twitter family as it were who in some cases I am like a mom or an aunt.

Then there are two folks who I am smitten with, for two very different reasons. Without giving away anything here...I will say that while both have dopplegangers here in town...it is the twin of one of them who showed in 3D, how cool my friend would be in person if we were ever run into each other. Now it is a matter of ...as UPS says logistics in manking a connection one of these days.

Moderately loud, but it depends on the situation. Let's say if I am at the market and I want to rock out to some jazz breaks in a few pieces by Renaissance, then the volume would be set at 6.5 or 7. BUT if I am at my doctor's office or if I am fixing a PC and on my own in same, as well as having Renaissance, the Moody Blues or the orchestral work of Yes on...then the volume is set at a 5. This also goes for if I am listening to Charlie Parker, Grover Washington or Dizzy Gillespie, all of which would be at a 6....any louder and the quality and nuances are lost.

Demi.....for the following reason:She has shown she was human, sought help and is paying it forward.Miley on the other hand is acting like the control buttons have been off.
