Tiddly Winks

I remember the warmth of the members of this community when they welcomed me. I was very touched by the overall positive energy that emanates this forum and how easy it was to jump into the conversations and ask questions. There was no fear of being talked down at, of having someone misinterpret or misread what I tried to say. Given my experiences online and with forums, it was a breath of fresh air...it still is.

I would love to meet Peter Tork. He was one of the Monkees but also a personal hero of mine. He overcame alcoholism and drug addiction during his younger years and most recently cancer. I have admired his musical genius for more than 20 years, and a strange irony is on March 23, 1995, the day I got married, a letter from him to me was postmarked. I still have the envelope because of the postmark. So, although I have admired a great many people in my life, I would want to meet Peter more than anyone else.

That's a hard question since I am a movie hoarder. I love movies, but most of my favorites are older movies (many being older than me...40 years). I guess my very favorite film is 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' with Gene Wilder and Peter Ostrum. That movie, although not exactly in line with the book is my favorite because Pure Imagination is one of my favorite songs and Gene Wilder is someone I admire, not only as an actor, but also as a writer. That movie sparked a lot of childhood daydreams and fantasy stories when I got older.

This is a really interesting story. Right after my 39th birthday, I was looking around the web trying to find a place where I could see the PS spoilers. I came across the You Tube page that someone from here had set up and discovered a link to the forum. I lurked for about ten minutes and then on November 26, 2009, I signed up and have been having a blast ever since. I have to say that I was hesitant about signing up on another forum, because I had been hurt pretty badly by other Pet Society players. So, in essence, this was a huge step for me, but one that I am really glad I took.

Sven is the best thing that ever happened to me. We've been married almost 16 years and I love him as much today as I did when we first fell in love.

I hope I understood your question right. I would probably pick Friendship with God, by Neale Donald Walsch, The Chronicles of Narnia by CS Lewis, and The Shack by William P. Young.

I do, this is fun. I never thought I was such an interesting person though. Most of the books I have read actually have been made into a movie already. Of course, I have read several fan fiction pieces that would make for excellent movies. I wouldn't mind seeing 'The Shack' made into a movie, but I have a feeling that it has been, and I have been living under a rock.

I wanted to be a singer. I have dreamt of being on stage ever since I was five, so it's a dream that continues to live inside of me.

When I was a child growing up in Texas, I thought about what it would be like to live in another country. Particularly England because I loved the accent and thought Jonathan Pryce was just a hottie. (Too many viewings of 'Jumpin' Jack Flash') I have always had a fondness for England, but don't know if I could say that I would want to live there. Living and traveling to a place are two different things. Of course, I never imagined in my wildest dreams that I would end up in Germany. And while I love living here, I know that it is far from being the perfect place to live in. Like any place, this one has it's problems and imperfections that one doesn't see as a tourist.

Welcome back. So glad to see you.

Click on the coins as though you are selling the cat, and then it will give you the option of giving the pet away. Then once you do that, click on let your friends adopt. A window should appear in your profile announcing that the pet is up for adoption.

This is a little bit easier. For me: I think the words would be compassionate, understanding, and optimistic. For Sven: Smart, Ingenuitive and Loving.

These are getting harder and harder to answer. I really don't know who I would come back as since I am trying to get to know who I am. I think that there are people who fascinate me all through history, and I wouldn't mind meeting them or speaking with them, but I don't think I could actually 'be' them. I would have loved to meet Danny Kaye (I was 17 when he died and never really knew that I liked his work until after he had died). A historical figure that totally fascinated me was Queen Victoria. But, I tink it's because I have a great appreciation for history. To go a bit further, I do believe in reincarnation, so this questions could take hours for me to really contemplate a response to, but since I don't have hours, and you probably don't either, I'll leave it at that.

That's hard. I am not sure. Maybe Lucy Pevensie from the Chronicles of Narnia. I loved her inquisitiveness and it was a trait I had as a small child. But, there are a lot of characters from books that I liked, but the question is, would I really want to have their sets of life experiences? I think that the answer to that is no. So, Narnia is perhaps the one experience I wouldn't mind, of course, I don't think I could be as valiant as she was since my personality is a bit different than hers.

I think my favorite places are Salzberg, Austria or Moscow Russia. I was in Salzberg with a friend and then later with Sven, and I really loved it. The mountains were beautiful, and the area around it was lush and green. I really loved the feeling that I had when I was there. Moscow was much different, but it was the first place I visited outside of the US. Having grown up in Houston, I wanted to see what was beyond my own back door. So, going to Moscow was sort of my breaking away from the mentality that all there is is what I see. It was also my dream to go there and when my grandmother sent me, I was in orbit.

I have always been a cat person when it came to pets. I don't know why, but I think it has to do with the fact that as a child I loved cats. My first cat was a yellowish longhaired cat named Fluffy. Then when I was in Iowa during the summers, I had a gray longhaired cat named Gray. Then during my adolescence, I had a cat I called Stretch. I loved all three of these cats for different reasons, but I felt a comradery with Stretch, I remembered so many years later. So, I guess that's why I love cats so much. I would say cats and bears are my favorite animals, but as far as housepets are concerned, I love cats.

That's a tough one. I think it would be a toss up between a cuddly brown bear cub or a cat. The bears don't have an easy life, but I love them, and they are the totem of love (at least that's what the film Brother Bear says). The cat has a much easier life, and they can laze around and eat and sleep. Sounds like a good life to me.

100 Cash coins. :smiles:

Three wishes?? Hmmm that's hard. Let's see... wish number 1: That my husband Sven finds a job that makes him happy. wish number 2: For all the bear making supplies I could ever hope for so I can make a ton of teddy bears for all my friends. wish number 3: To publish my book.

I've been using antivir as my main antivirus scanner and lavasoft as my antipsyware program. They both work rather well.

I've found those before, and they are really neat. Sven has often insisted on keeping them for a few extra days before using them.

good job, nice room. Congrats.

esperia, check your door. I went nuts buying stuff, but love it. I have already decorated three rooms, and that's the most I have ever done with one theme. That's how much I love it!!!

I've seen the movie, but the stage play is better. I enjoyed watching it in London just before I turned 30. That was some ten years ago. Sven and I did watch the movie in the cinema, and I do have the movie, but I am more partial to the stage production.

Easy, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. That's my favorite and I would love to see it as a theme. I wouldn't mind seeing Beauty and the Beast either.
