4. Who has impressed you most with what they’ve accomplished?

17. What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?

A. How to write a newspaper article.

18. If you were dictator of a small island nation, what crazy dictator stuff would you do?

  1. I would watch your History Channel...or any history channel that shows something beyond WWII. Not that WWII isn't fascinating, but a lot of other stuff has gone on since time began.

    Put down the cell phone and look at your kids really is a special thing these days. Sad. Actually, it's pretty exciting when anyone puts down their phone and actually participates in what's going on around them.

  2. Yes, to falling in Love!
    The History Channel is a load of well, Patak.
    Hillary is a great choice. What a hatched job the Republican know nothings did on her! Women should all be angry as hell over that!

    And I won't watch anything with Adam Sandler in it, either!

  5. How was Paris? Did you like it? I would love to see Italy ( on bucket list) Agree, everyone should fall in love at least once in there life. Hopefully when they are old enough to know what it really means to really love someone, unconditionally.
