You've proven that despite how open you always are in your blog, there is something new and fascinating to learn about you.
I pretty much trust everybody, but everyone gets only one chance to prove me wrong. Screw me once, shame on you, screw me twice, shame on me! Ha!
Oh sure, go all anti-American and "neutral" with your cheese choice!
A smoking dream. Funny how our psyche haunts us sometimes.
Foie gras as a fave. I feel so unrefined.
I love cherries too, but I made a blueberry smoothie the other day that was amazing.
I CAN tie the stem with my tongue! The trick is to soften it in your mouth a little, make it more pliable.
And I love that you cried at Finding Neverland. So did I.
Smoking dreams still haunt me sometimes!
Don't think I've ever had a smoking dream. But then, I have never smoked.
I had to look up chancres. ICK! I'm afraid of them, too.
What is it with cherries? Every one who has done this meme says cherries. They're good, yeah, but blueberries are so much better!
I agree with you on American "cheese" product. It ain't cheese, and doesn't taste like it either. Americans by and large have no taste.
You can't trust anyone. (Sounds like a downer, but it keeps proving true over and over again.)
Here is something that I never, ever learn -- despite having ample evidence of its validity.
Going through those items, I realized that the last time I spoke to anyone on the phone was Saturday evening. No wonder I have 40 million rollover minutes.
I'd never heard of a Chancres until I read number 27 - and I had to look it up. Yikes - now it's what I'm most afraid of as well...
An ERECTOR set???
Oh jesus...
Wait a minute, KANSAS?!
Sould I have known this? I want to hear more about Kansas!
Like tardy, I want to hear more about Kansas. And yes, you do have to say yellow lab as your favourite dog breed.
Nobody? Say it isn't so, TW.
I'll take a spicy burger!
Interesting answers and I like a cheese burger with Swiss or Havarti cheese on it. I like to mix other things into the meat as well. None of the fast food chains make a decent burger, like the one's from the 50s. There never was that "production-line taste" that the food chains have today.

===============================
I usually trust people until they become untrustworthy. I was born at night, but not last night.

Trust No One, as Mulder used to say.
It's the hardest lesson to learn, you know?
you can trust me.
Mmmm, I love milkshakes (and malts) too.
Mark :-)
My wife teaches ESL. Upon learning this, at least every third person asks her, "How many other languages do you know?" (The answer, just Spanish, is largely irrelevant, as you undoubtedly know.)
