Guess who's hosting this edition of the singles thread!?! Scary, ain't it folks.

Anyhow, in the process of cleaning out boxes, it came to me....the questions that we all ask ourselves as we uncover chunks of our long lost past.....

What WAS I thinking!?!

So, my questions to all of you are:

What hobby or interest did you have when you were younger that you still have a passion for?

Ok, now....is there something you used to do that you now think "I can't believe I used to like that!"

Same with music---
What was your favorite band/song in highschool, then early adulthood compared to now? (Those still in early adulthood have only 2 questions to answer. Or maybe just one ;))

Is there anything in your interests, hobbies or life that would surprise people who know you? (Nothing weird, just.....) And if it invovles being on wanted posters, you can skip the question :)

[rightwingintelligentsia]

I guess I'll get over it. Eventually.

[najida]

LOL!
But I bet you still like trying to figure out how things work.

[najida]

Joe Jackson's still around?

I haven't thought of him in years! Wow...

[Supernatural]

"Shooting guns eh"?

I'm good at it too. But that's about where my talent ends.

[carlr]

To some degree.

I spent 12 years at a NAPA store previously,but whether it is a car or piece of equipment they are making things too complicated now.

I know you have other talents!
I'm sure of it....:)

[pcottraux]

I didn't know Michael Jackson's father had his own website.

What hobby or interest did you have when you were younger that you still have a passion for?

I'm sorry, missed the ping altogether!

I will probably bring the thread to a screaching halt with this but when I was young I wanted to quilt, raise a garden, have children, own some acreages and horses. I did for many years, then went to work, all my priorities changed and now, I long for what I had in the past. No thank you on the children, love them and don't want to create another set but I could do the garden, acreage, etc. Only difference now is I'd want to work at least part time.

My next goal is the cabin in the woods (for retirement), I'm pretty happy doing what I do for right now.

I wonder if anyone longs for a more old fashioned way of existance? Any pros or cons about what we used to do. (I ain't THAT old by the way!!)

[najida]

True,
Why is it there are always screws left over after you take something apart and put it back together?

[Supernatural]

"Joe Jackson's still around"?

Is that the guy who sang "Skinny Legs and All"?

Then, of course, there's J.J. Jackson with "But Its Alright". (You can hurt me, but its alright).

[najida]

Thank you!

I have an album of his tucked away somewhere....
The funniest song he ever wrote was "Everything Gives You Cancer" (OK, that sounds creepy, but it really is a funny song)

[rightwingintelligentsia]

Embarrasing, but I really did think he was talking about that Joe Jackson for a minute or two.

[Supernatural]

"I know you have other talents"!

Well, I have a talent for finding trouble.

Or, maybe trouble has a talent for finding me.

Anyway you put it, trouble and me are no strangers.

[ozarkgirl]

Why is it there are always screws left over after you take something apart and put it back together?

It's the law of nature, you leave two screws together and what do you think they are going to do? Make more screws. Just don't leave them together for too long.

[najida]

How oldfashioned are you talking about here?

I like running hot and cold water and electricity. :)

Otherwise, I like a garden etc.

[Supernatural]

You hangin' out late tonight?

[najida]

You've had double dates with trouble I gather?

So have I!
Little bugger seems to get around, don't he!?!

[carlr]

It seems my problem is always the opposite,with half the bolts walking away,no matter how hard I try to keep them all together.

[najida]

JJ Jackson?

Ok, now I'm getting confused.

I need more ice cream :)
