Last year, when I got married my mother across the country for the wedding. I went to pick her up at the airport. When the plane arrived, who should I see coming out the arrival gate behind my mother....My Grandmother!!! This was a HUGE surprise, as my grandmother never travels. After the wedding she stayed for a week so we had lots of time to visit, which was great because I hadn't seen her in almost a year.
APBM,
If you could be any god or goddess from ancient mythologies, who would you be?

I've been DREAMING of the day that someone would ask me this question! The answer is Ares, the Greek god of war! Why? Because he was swashbuckling and often times naked! Two qualities I always strive for! Besides that, he was a real man's man (which is another thing I always strive to be)!
However, considering that I'm more of a pacifist and not all that keen on confrontation, if I ever do get the job of being God of War I'd have to tweak the job description a little bit. Maybe something along the lines of Ares, the Naked God of Swashbuckling Manliness and Peace Through Negotiations (Whenever Possible) .

Do you follow internet trends like Twittering and Facebook(ing)?

Got a big kick out of the last two answers. Anyhow, yes as a teacher I kind of find I'd best know what the buggers are up too. Lot's of things I'd wished I'd not found out about, facebook one of the least problematic. Facebook, seems like spying but when you work a rough neighborhood, can help head off alot of problems. Every parent should be keeping a close eye on these things. I use inernet extensively to get ideas for vacation and lesson plans.

What use of Internet is most useful to you (at the fear of LegionWorld losing its PG rating, neither POV nor Cobie may answer, j/k).

I was going to respond "news" because there's lots of alternative news on the net, but most of it just depresses me and gives me an illusion of being well-informed, so probably "how to" information. Whatever I've got to do, there's usually a host of explanations or recommendations on the internet - debugging broken water heaters, pet problems, recipes, etc. etc. Highly practical.
A Potentially Better Method:
Assuming reasonably good health but continued aging, how long would you like to live ?
posted
100. I really want to hit three digits. Just 'cuz it'd be kind of cool. Not that I wouldn't mind aging to 125 if I had reasonably good health.
APBM,
In your opinion, what is the age when most people seriously think of retirement as a real thing that is approaching. Because at 27, I just have the attitude that I'll be working forever with no retirement ever happening.

That's why I told my wife I won't be at middle age till I'm 50!
I think that is when many people start considering retirement. But, unfortunately, the later you were born, the longer you have to work. I will retire at 62 at the latest, because I see tomany retire at 65 or 67 and they're too old to enjoy their retirement. The sooner the better!
Always Polling 'Bout Money,
Do you personally know, or are you related to any millionaires?

A million ain't what it used to be, if I know millionaires! Well, I don't know for sure, but based on their lifestyle and possessions, some of the people who are summer residents around here must be millionaires. They're okay. It's the billionaires who are all snooty about money.
Another Poll 'bout Money:
What would you do if you were given $10,000, free and clear?
posted
Unless it was from family, I'd probably be paranoid about it. Wonder the motivations and expectations of the person giving it. Wonder why someone was giving me something that is forcing me into a decision then either bank it and forget about it or use it at school, something for the classroom or choir or artroom.
Don't give it to me. I've enough problems.
All Problems Begin Monday
When do you consider your week begun?

Monday. I see Monday as the beginning of the week and so the beginning of my week.
APBM,
What age is "old"?

If it's absolutely got to be a UN nation, then Oh Canada, you are mine. Canada would be a fun place to rule. People are a little pasty but generally fun and not so self-serious. Lot's of places to roam. I'd have a palace in Newfoundland, Prince Rupert and Ottawa. We'd go to war with Alaska, or maybe Wisconsin, just to keep the boys inspired.
All Property Be Mine
Same question.

Luxembourg. I've always felt that although Luxembourg hasn't really lived up to it's true potential, with the right Supreme Ruler at its helm (me) it would be able to assume a stronger leadership role among the Family of Nations.
