    Paella. I know it's really complicated, but I wish I could make a sort of simple version that still tasted great.

    Harry Potter. I have to believe I would have been chosen to study magic instead of conjugating verbs, lol.

    If all jobs paid the same, what job would you choose to pursue?

    I'd like to be a newswoman who only followed Trump. Interesting. Travel. Would see and maybe meet dignitaries and celebrities. If you didn't like what he was doing right now, wait 5 minutes. Definitely entertaining

    If you were a chef and could travel to any country to learn the cuisine, where would you go and how long would you stay?

    China…I love stir fries and assorted Chinese restaurants, but I've only been exposed to the American versions…just for a week or so, I would like to experience the authentic original

    If tuition were free and you were not being tested, what would you want to return to college to study?

    Theatre. Wish I had a cooler answer 🤣

    I don't like Chinese food, but—-

    I was lucky enough to buy some spring rolls from a vendor on Bourbon street one day. Ming Tsai's mother. Sooooo good!

    And I ate at Cecilia chiang 's once. They could make dirt taste good!

    I think you made a good choice.

    The fact I'm always serving as a mediator trying to de-escalate a tense situation.

    What item in your home is something you would rather get rid of, but don't for some reason? (Necessary evil to keep, sentimental reasons, gift from a friend/loved one, etc)

  • LindsayHelen1

    My daughter’s toys. Every time I try to put them in the donate bin, it suddenly becomes her most cherished item 🤣


    If your younger self could see you now, what what would they be proud of—and what would they question?

  • STRAITBUGGIN
    STRAITBUGGIN Posts: 418 Member

    He would be proud of me pursuing my career dreams and achieving all of them (finally) - He would question why I am still a Cowboys fan 😂

    If you could see only one last concert (living and dead) who would it be and why?

  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 13,831 Member

    Trans-Siberian Orchestra…my wife and I saw them one Christmas, still remember fondly a decade later…it's not just a musical concert you hear, but sweet-smelling fog to better see the laser show until you feel the heat from the bursts of fire…it's a total experience

    If you could sacrifice one sense in order to super-charge one other, which senses would you select?

  • Traquette
    Traquette Posts: 117 Member

    I guess sense of taste ? Much less food tentations if everything is tasteless 😂
    But I would super-charge my sight ! Heck, I don't even want it super-charged, just, normal 20/20 vision would work, my eyes are so bad 😢

    What is a childhood "secret" that you would be willing to reveal now ?

  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 13,831 Member

    When I was 8, my family all went to the mall at Christmas time, and when we loaded into the car after I noticed several packages where I could partially read toy labels through the transparent plastic bags. A couple weeks later, "Santa" gave those exact same items to us on Christmas morning. Coincidence? For the sake of my younger brother and sister, I never said a word.

    What is something you thought as a child (or young adult) would be considered "normal" today, which has not happened the way you expected?

  • LindsayHelen1
    LindsayHelen1 Posts: 270 Member

    I thought that once you became an adult, you’d have it altogether and know everything. I’m well into adulthood and still hasn’t happened. 🤣


    What’s something you’ve done that you think everyone should try at least once?

  • nossmf
    nossmf Posts: 13,831 Member

    Work in the food industry, as a waiter, busboy, chef, etc. When you have never worked these jobs it's so easy to become impatient with unrealistic expectations as a customer, but if everybody (including rich folks) spent at least a couple weeks doing these jobs, I think we'd all get along better in restaurants.

    If you won the lottery, what is one thing you'd immediately spend money on, and one thing from your current life you do NOT want to change?

  • STRAITBUGGIN
    STRAITBUGGIN Posts: 418 Member

    I would spend money on family, loved ones, and finding ways to help those that are less fortunate - oh, and a brand new truck!


    What is one decision (when you were at a crossroads) you made in life that placed you on the path you’re on now and do you feel like it was the right decision?

  • LindsayHelen1
    LindsayHelen1 Posts: 270 Member

    Dang!! That’s a good question!

    Not sure if this counts but it’s the first thing that came to mind…
    I used to bottle my feelings. I thought I was supposed to be happy all the time and that it was the only acceptable emotion. But of course, being happy 100% of the time is unrealistic and those bottled feelings would then come out in an explosion of anger. Those explosions caused a lot of issues in different relationships in my life. My brother and I didn’t talk for years. I realized I needed to change. It took some work to rewire my thinking but I finally became comfortable with feeling sad and being able to communicate properly. By letting myself be vulnerable and sad, I’ve actually become the happiest I’ve ever been.


    I’m going to steal that same question because I would like to know other people’s answers.

    It totally counts and thank you for sharing … would love to hear others answers but I can share a pivotal point in my life from a career perspective.

    I’ve been fortunate and seem to have always had great jobs. However, I seemed to always function with a healthy dose of anxiety - worried about what would happen should the job go away - I finally made the decision one day to take care into my own hands and went back to school to get my graduate degree and ensure I had more control over my employment and career - the bonus is that I loved school.

    Let’s tee it up one more time:

    My girlfriend and I had just broken up over what we thought were impossible differences…she smoked (I don't), and though her life had calmed down after the birth of her son, she dearly wished she could return to her wild party days (I'm far calmer and responsible). I could have left her behind and focused upon my military career, but I also couldn't stop thinking about the connection we otherwise had felt. After about a week our paths crossed again (lived in the same apartment complex), and I made the snap decision to try to work things out with her. She felt the same, and in a few weeks we will celebrate 23 years of marriage. (I adopted her son, and we've had three more children together.) So yes, I absolutely feel it was the right decision.

    What is one book you wish were turned into a movie, and who would you cast for the lead role?

    So many … I’ll start with Shoeless Joe Jackson (it would help if he had a truth serum ahead of time).

    Who put on the best live performance you have ever seen (in person)?

    Easy, my all-time favorite musical artist, Garth Brooks. Was supposed to be a 2-hr concert; SIX HOURS LATER he stops the band after a song, apologizes, tells folks he'll not be offended if anybody leaves…then begins playing for ANOTHER HOUR!!!

    If you could study at the feet of anybody in history, whom would you choose (and what would be the subject/skill learned)?
