Laetitia :-) said...

1. Cornetto or Drumstick - can't have either and I can't remember which I preferred when I could (possibly whichever first had a mint version) - do both of them have the chocolate-lined cone or just one?
2. I wish I was better with..time, people and interviews.
3. The movie you've seen the most times - probably The Sound of Music.
4. I don't like being asked..if I've been out in the sun / cold because my nose is really red. It's rosacea BTW.
5. If you could go back a decade, what advice would you give your younger self? - only a decade? Maybe, you have less than 10 years left with your Grandma - write her life story.

Dawn Merz said...

1. Hmmmm. New to both. Love them, but barely know there is a difference. Let me get back to you at the end of the summer. (I love this kind of research. Could you ask what my favourite Magnum is next week? I'm not sure my budget could bear it, but I would love the experiment!)
2. Conflict.
3. Sound of Music. Or Mary Poppins.
4. What I think/thought of George W. Bush.
5. Yes, Dawn, it is true. Trust God with the day to day and leave the future in His hands. He provided me with such an amazing future/new home country/husband and it was not Plan A,B,C,D,E,F, or G!! Matthew 6:25 and on

Georgina said...

1. Yep, I'm with you Ben. Barely realised there were 2 brands. Whichever one made that awesome ad with all the people around the swimming pool? That one.
2. I wish I was better with trusting God.
3. Shawshank Redemption? Or possibly The Princess Bride.
4. I don't like being asked about my relationship status. My relationship status is single. It has always been single. Are we clear now?
5. In 10 years, you won't believe how much your life has changed. Hang in there.

Wendy said...

1. Magnum.

2. faithfulness
3. I don't really like a movie (or book) till I've seen (read) it many times...

Joanna- I got really into knitting for about a week. I have a fraction of a scarf to show for it.

Al- Time management would be an awesome skill to master. Mine's rubbish.

Crazyjedidiah- Welcome to the quiz:) I was a maths in society fella. woo hoo. ps- that was a disturbingly long 'mmmm'.

Soph-Sadly my fasion now is much the same as a decade ago..

Kim-I have no time for Magnums. I think they are a girl ice cream, like timtams are girl buscuits. Too full on sweet. I need the sweetness to be tempered with some nuts or something.

Gary-Ditto number 4

Goldy-Yep I've seen DD a stack too. It's a movie that keeps on giving.

Nath- You have a purse?

Laetitia-I can see why you'd watch Sound of Music a lot of times. It's a good'n.

Dawn-Yep, that's my kind of research too.

Georgina-Oh yeah, I've seen Shawshank a LOT of times. It's such a good movie because the ending is so long and satisfying.

Thora- Worms are nice. you should embrace them. Little e loves them a little too much. Several have died in her heavy-petting little hands lately.

Wendy- I don't get Magnums. It's just ice cream ith some ice magic on top. You can do it yourself for mch cheaper.

Simone-..And another thing I don't get is mint with chocolate or ice cream. Nasty. It's like someone's squeezed some toothpaste in to the vanilla.

Pedro- echh, work discipline. The bane of my life.
