What's your favorite kind of tea?

Brisk Iced Tea.

Would you rather drink hot tea in the summer or eat soup in summer?

Drink hot tea in the summer which I do every day.

How often do you eat ice cream 🍦 in winter? ☃️

 

[Edge]

Usually once a week.

When's the last time you had ice cream?

 

[milagros317]

About two weeks ago for dessert in The Smith.

What is your opinion of frozen yogurt?

 

[Edge]

I will eat it as an alternative but it's not quite as good as ice cream.

What's your thoughts on organic food?

 

[milagros317]

I am cynical about it. I believe it is a scam to charge more for the same food. So, if organic and not organic are both available, then I will buy the cheaper, usually not organic.

What is your opinion of artificial sweeteners?

 

[Edge]

I think in small doses they are probably ok like most things.

What's worse for your health drinking or smoking?

 

[milagros317]

I believe that smoking causes multiple fatal diseases, so it is worse.

Do you have many friends or relatives who died from lung cancer or emphysema?

 

[Edge]

No thankfully I don't.

Did you have any family members growing up who were drunk often?

 

[milagros317]

No, no family members. I am told that my paternal grandfather drank an 8-ounce tumbler of whiskey every night beginning at dinner, but he died when I was 2 years old, so I have no memory of it.

How many of your grandparents were alive when you reached about age 5 so that you remember them?

 

[Edge]

3 out of 4. My dad's father passed away when I was about that age of 5 I believe.

What's better frozen pizza or reheated pasta?

 

[milagros317]

Reheated pasta is better IMO.

What is your opinion of white clam sauce on pasta?

 

[Edge]

It's just not as good to me as red clam sauce.

What's your thoughts on the MLB season so far?

 

[milagros317]

I hate the fact that the putrid motherfucking hated jints bastards are doing so well.
The Dodgers have a reasonably good start, but not up to expectations.
The Atlanta Braves are the biggest surprise in the negative direction. I have no sympathy for Braves fans.
The Yankees have a reasonably good start, too, and I hope the 2025 World Series is a rematch.

 

[Edge]

Great commentary...but did you forget to ask a question?
I'll add to that it's a long (long) season but been an interesting start so far.

 

[milagros317]

Alas, yes, and I forget to answer a question all too often.

Will the Mets win the NL East?

 

[Edge]

No, I think the Phillies will win the NL East but the Mets will most likely get a wild card spot.

What's your plans for this weekend?

 

[milagros317]

Doing some shopping today and seeing Goddess Shelly tomorrow.

Do you consider Easter Monday to be a holiday?

 

[Edge]

No.

Is it bad that I never understood what Easter Monday is even supposed to be?

 

[Edge]

No because I think most people don't.

What's the longest car ride you've ever had?

 

[milagros317]

In September 1976 I drove from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Wilmette, Illinois, is about 18 hours, taking only two meal breaks and many bathroom breaks, without sleeping. That should count as one ride. It was about 980 miles.

What is the fastest you have ever driven a car?

 

[Edge]

90MPH.

How many car accidents have you been involved in (even as a passenger)?

 

[milagros317]

Just one, and it was as a driver. In 1968 I was driving to Hackensack, NJ, when another car went speeding through a red light, smashed into the left rear fender of my car, and drove off without stopping. I reported the hit-and-run to the police, but the other driver was never prosecuted. My insurance company did win a lawsuit against his insurance company for the damages to my car. I gave a deposition by telephone and the case never went to trial.

Same question, how many car accidents have you been involved in (even as a passenger)?

 

[Edge]

Just one also. I was the passenger when I was a kid my mom got into an accident when turning and this person ran a red light.

What's worse thunder or lightening?
