Good job Bunsy! I don't have any that match. Though I wouldn't be shocked if I got motion sick on the space ride at EPCOT now as an adult.

DH is sitting next to me as I type and thinks I should change my response to indicate that he is the only person I ever dated, even though he knows it isn't true.

Awesome! No challenges from me.
NO veggies? None? Wow. Do you eat them anyway? I think I could give up most anything but veggies.

I eat corn willingly but know that isn't really considered a vegetable. I'll eat peas, gr beans if they are in salad or hotdish or something. But rarely. All vegetables taste like grass to me.

And you've had people cook them for you in yummy ways? I find it hard to believe anyone could not love roasted asparagus, for instance. Tina and Ian are both very limited in their veggie consumption, but both will eat asparagus when I roast it.

And now I want roasted asparagus.
When I was 14 I became a vegetarian. When I announced it to my mom she laughed b/c I didn't like vegetables. But I guess I didn't like meat more and learned to like vegetables. Sharon is right, vegetables taste much better when prepared well.
I am debating about whether my favorite fact about you is the liturgical clown or french horn....it's a toss up!
I love learning about everyone.

They probably DO taste better prepared well. I don't like to cook. the only veggies I had as a kid came from cans. Same thing at ILs house. I HAVE tried a veggie once in a while in an attempt to be brave. Always with the same result. Yucky.
Of course, I only play french horn twice a year at church - Easter and Christmas Eve.

I can't stand veggies out of a can and also don't really like frozen veggies, I can't get them cooked to the right consistency.
I am impressed with the french horn, even if it is 2x/year, that's awesome.

Ha ha ha Sharon! A challenge. DH eats LOTS of veggies - frozen and steamed. DS2 would eat veggies if I made them. DD eats veggies in a stir fry or something like that. So at least I haven't warped my family.
My LOVE playing my french horn. There just isn't a frequent need for french horn music in my daily life.

Good ones Bunsy! My dream dog is also a Great Dane! Whenever our lives slow down enough to get a dog that is definitely what we'll be getting.

Bunsy, what is a liturgical clown?

Well, it is clowns used in a religious setting. Really hard to explain. I was actually a sidekick. One my friends was really into it and she lost her partner so I just did what she told me to do. I also was the pianist when she did some solo clown gigs. Here is some information I found online.
""Sharing the Gospel with a whimsical touch, complete with makeup and costumes, the clowns perform in silence, conveying their message through a narrator, signs and music.
The premise of the ministry is that participants are actually "fools for Christ".
Performing in white makeup symbolizes the removal of the "masks" people wear every day as a mother, wife, neighbor. Applying colors illustrates an expression of self as a new creation in resurrection. Somewhere on their faces, each clown also has a red dot representing the kiss of Christ. In performance, the clowns sometimes share their "kisses" with the audience.
"We use our clowns to help people see things in a different way.""
