Re: Medusa's Quesion du jour (the year of the horse edition!)

What do you always order, or never order, at a restaurant you've never been to?

Depends on the meal, depends on the restaurant. Breakfast is coffee, lunch is pretty much hot herbal tea, dinner is typically some sort of alcoholic beverage. At an Italian place I usually end up with a calzone or a salad and pasta, Burger place I get the portabello or black bean burger, never get a milkshake, sushi is the veggie special rolls, Indian is usually Palak Paneer, etc etc. If the place offers sweet potatoes, whether fried or baked, I often get that. Sweet potatoes and greens might be my favorite meal.

What is a phrase or word you repeat many times throughout the day?

Sit. Sit. I said sit. Did you not hear me say sit? Sit. Good boy.

What are your best memories from childhood?

Great question.

I have so many, but all involve being with my grandparents at their place and with my sibling. Hunting with my granddad in the winter and fishing in summer...just early mornings spent chatting with my grandma over coffee...

Oooooo, my memories of childhood are few and far between... lets see

I remember making pisang goreng at school, and I was happy cos I bought a banana to school that day so I got to have 2!

I remember 2 dreams I used to have, one where I could kinda glide around, and I used to jump off my classroom step and soar around the quad. The other had an evil doctor and I used to rock around a lot.

I remember getting new glasses and being excited and proud, and having to keep my old ones in my drawer for sport, and I was really excited to have two glasses at school and I remember cleaning them at my desk and getting teased. Not a great memory really. Makes me sad that one.

Thats about all I have from pre age 10 I think.

What are your best memories from childhood?

Running in the alleys behind Detroit streets. They were overgrown with (what I now know to be) sumac, with my friends (at the time, six & seven year olds didn't do drugs and vandalize stuff), and imagining that we were in the forests and jungles. It was a lot like the old Little Rascals, minus the romanticized exaggeration.

Gonna go with B. De.'s memory's...We had two huge fields to choose from(and this in the City of Oakland),where we dug out pits and covered them with stolen lumber from the lumber yard,and had a fort for the whole summer. Also with TALL weeds,and a piece of metal bar with an edge,we hacked our way through that "Jungle" on a safari(wonderful being a kid)

What are your best memories from childhood?

Going on ride-alongs with my dad in his semi. I'd been through all the lower 48 states, Mexico & almost all of Canada (only missing the Yukon & NW Territories) by the time I was 10.

One of my most vivid memories was going through Arizona. It was hot. Super hot. And this was in the 70s, so my dad's truck was pretty bare-bones - no A/C. I was complaining that I would never be cool again. The minute the sun went down, it got freezing cold & started to hail. They got some messed up weather in Arizona.

The weekends we went to my grandparents summer bungalow in the Catskills, and I was actually allowed out of my parents sight! The freedom was awesome.

I just remembered a few more. I cried when George died in Black Out by Mira Grant. And what happened to the little boy and the father in the final The Strain trilogy. NOT the movie. Bleh. The book had me an emotional wreck for days.
