Clothing, dinners, make-up, or gadgets... We all have things we like to splurge on. What do you think you buy too much of?
Probably groceries. I love grocery shopping. I love food. I love to cook. I love breakfast! And then shoes. I love shoes. Then, I don't know. Bags I guess. I'm a shoe and bag person.
Do you think real love can last throughout any distance, or will long distance end most relationships?
Submitted by Miss Joy.
If the love is deep enough and the love is mutual, it will definitely last.
It really depends on how much effort both parties are willing to put into the relationship.
I guess that can be said for any relationship.
The distance matters only if you let it. Love transcends time, distance, death, everything.
When driving alone, what do you do? Sing along to the radio? Think about your day? Something else?
Submitted by carapiccoladiva.
It's one of my favorite things to do. Drive alone in my car, sing along with the radio if I choose to, think about my day, dream about my dreams. Just be. It's my therapy. I like to check out other cars too. The Pontiac GT is a pretty one I'm admiring these days.

If you could eat anything you wanted, and not have to worry about gaining weight/being unhealthy/inhumane, what would you totally pig out on?
Submitted by Jay.
I would just pig out, period, but I would start with ranch doritos, move on to sour cream and onion pringles, then maui onion potato chips. For sweets, bake brownies, chocolate chip cookies, or buy them from the store and savor every bit. I recently discovered dulce de leche haagen dazs ice cream. oh my goodness. it is so good. I would eat that everyday. with chocolate fudge. after a breather, I would eat all the pasta I want. make my own: garlic, olive oil, and parmesan cheese. saute it all together. heaven. then maybe some sushi, all kinds...everyday. japanese curry here and there. fried rice occasionally. can't forget pizza! cheese, please. sometimes pepperoni and sausage, mushrooms, olives, bell peppers and onions. oh! indian curry and naan bread. spring rolls wrapped in lettuce with mint leaves in vinegar and fish sauce. yum! some pho noodles and soup. all the sugary cereal I want: frosted flakes, honey nut cheerios, lucky charms...but it's getting too sweet for me. am I getting older? also, korean food. yum-O! meat jun, bbq meat, chicken, I recently tried fish jun, that was really good. kim chee! french fries! all kinds of bread! esp japanese pastries. croissants! Wow. I am a total foodie.
What was your worst cooking experience?
I like to cook and I think I'm pretty good at it. but one time, I was trying to sautee some mushrooms and onions. pretty easy you think right? how could something so easy go wrong? Well, it did. Talk about over sautee. I think I sweated the onions for too long and everything became mushy because by the time I put the mushrooms in, there was too much liquid. Mushrooms really soak up moisture. So it was a disaster but I had to bring it somewhere for potluck and brought it anyway. oh well. It might've been the sauce i added. hmmm. Just stick to salt and pepper next time. It tasted ok but just didn't look very appetizing.

What are five things you're good at?
Submitted by HapaLove.
1. Teaching, working with kids to adults, working with different people
2. Conversation. If I feel a good vibe from the other person, I could ask the right questions to keep the conversation flowing. I think of different topics to talk about. Get to know them.
3. Music. I wouldn't say I'm good at it but I do have a passion for it and hope to keep it in my life in some form forever.
4. Flower arranging (ikebana). after years of practice, still need to up my skill and technique but I like it. Enjoying what you do is important.
5. Bowling. another secret passion of mine. My form is good but I need to practice my spare technique. anyone have any pointers? Jon and I have been going almost every week! It's fun. I love the game!
