Technically about a block and a half. A lady here in town contacted me when I moved back here last May and come to find out she is a cousin I never knew I had. I've got a step-aunt/uncle in Hamilton, Illinois which isn't all that far from me. Probably 170 miles or so?


Do you ever get online and "not" come to Pixies if you are at home?

I have ... maybe to check an email or something ... but not often.

Have you ever fallen asleep at your PC?

I know that I did once probably a month or so ago but that's the only time I can recall.


What do you use for a screensaver?

I have a couple of different ones ... one is Webshots which is a free offering and allows you to build up a collection of beautiful pictures that are used as both a desktop and as a screensaver; and, I bought a fish tank screen saver that's really pretty neat.

How about you, what do you use?

I use photo's that I either take or download from the net.

How much time do you spend on the internet a day?

Probably 4-6 hours on most days. Most of it in the morning, although I'll pop in during the day. Most of it at Pixies with checking e-mail in second place.

How about you? How much time do you spend on the internet a day?

Way too much. Probably right in that same ballpark DB. Sometimes more but rarely less. :yikes:


Have you ordered Girl Scout cookies this year?

No one I know sells them, so no.



What would the title of your memoirs be?

So you Never Heard of Me .... Surprise!


What mark would you like to leave behind after you're gone!

I'd be happy to know that my family and friends were okay.

How about you?

I'm hoping that once I'm gone the people who knew me would just smile when they think of me.


When you make hot dogs at home what is your preferred method to cook them? Boil, fry, microwave, grill, other?

I usually microwave, fry or grill hot dogs. My wife usually fries or boils them.

What condiments do you usually put on your hot dogs?

uh oh, I'm going to post this one and go running for cover. If I'm going all out I'll go with spicy mustard, onions and relish. I'll usually grab for some celery salt too. And probably 9 times out of 10 no matter what else I've got on it already........................ ketchup. *IowaMan runs to beat the devil for cover*


Do you like salsa to be really hot or do you go for the more mild variety?

The warm side of mild. Typically, I'll use about 2/3 mild and 1/3 hot salsa.

(BTW, you're hot dog sounded pretty good to me.)

Do you put whipped cream on pie?

I guess I never really gave it much thought but usually the only pie I have whipped cream with is pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving or Christmas. Otherwise I'm more of an ice cream kind of guy. Unless it's banana cream then I'll just take the whole thing and dive in like I'm in a pie eating contest at the county fair. :D


Do you avoid going outside at pretty much all costs when the temp gets down around zero (F)?
