OK I am a fussy eater.

Which food do I NOT like?

a) Peanut Butter Sandwiches
b) Raw Carrots
c) Pizza
d) Jell-o

Ermm... c) pizza, just because it seems the most unlikely for some reason.

That's correct Bevis.

I don't like tomatoes in any form, so no pizza, spaghetti sauce, etc. (pretty much all Italian food)

Heh, whoda thunk it? My logic actually paid off for once.

Hmm. OK, which of these conditions don't I have/suffer from?

a) Hayfever
b) astigmatism
c) colour blindness
d) myatonia congenita (a muscle disorder)
e) dyslexia

From your typing, I'll guess e.

I'll guess c: colour blindness since it would make it SO much more difficult to be the fashion whiz that Bevis is if he has this!

d sounds too rare and unknown, and astigmatism sounds too common... I'll go with a) Hayfever

bump

I don't think "bump" was a choice. a yuk yuk:)

No-one has it right yet (I also suffer from forgetfulness. he he). I am dyslexic, but not too badly. Just enough for me to have trouble making sense of things if I read them too quickly and for me to miss things out when I'm writing sometimes. I'm also crap at typing, but that's nowt to do with the dyslexia.

Hayfever I have really badly, especially living in a big city, and it's gotten worse as time goes on.

And I'm colour blind too. Not majorly, in fact not really enough to make any difference to me. But it does mean that I can see some of the colour blindness tests that i'm not supposed to be able to see as well as all the ones I can. I also tend to use much brighter shades of green and red than most people since they can look a bit muted to me. And because I'm classed as colour blind I'm not allowed to do some jobs. Like being a fighter pilot or an electrician. Good thing I didn't want to do either.

So the next person to guess has a fifty/fifty chance of getting it right.

My fifty-fifty guess is:

d) myatonia congenita (a muscle disorder)

aaaand.....

you're right. It's my hubby who has myatonia congenita. It's a muscle disorder which means his muscles don't relax properly. Not a major condition, but it does mean that he walks upstairs really slowly and looks a lot more muscular than he actually is since his muscles don't relax completely (possibly most superheroes suffer from the same condition, hence their constantly taught muscles). It only affects about 1 in every 10,000 people (it's a congenital condition) but spookily enough my sister's girlfriend's aunt and uncle both also suffer from it. How's that for a coincidence?

I do, on the other hand, have astigmatism. My eyes are slightly different shapes so don't focus properly, which is why i wear glasses. Only a minor thing and *very* common (I bet most people who wear glasses also have it), but it sounds quite posh when you give it it's technical name.

Which of the following was my first niece:

a) Emily Rose
b) Grace
c) Elissa
d) Becky
e) Mariana
f) Jennifer
g) Kara

Emily Rose?

Mariana

Not Emily Rose or Mariana (she's actually the latest). And both Emily Rose and Mariana and one of the others are the daughter's of my first niece. My first niece also has two sons, Alex and David. When they told me I was a great uncle, I said "I've always been a great uncle!"

Because of the comic book link (and so probably a complete red herring), Kara.

Nope, not Kara although she is my niece (the second niece in fact) My brother and sister-in-law aren't into comics, so her name has nothing to do with Supergirl

Grace

Grace is Emily Rose's and Mariana's sister. And they are all cuties. I also have to give my niece credit on how she is raising them.

Back before Grace & Mariana were born, we were at our annual family cookout (aunts, uncles, cousins, second cousins, third cousins, fourth cousins, etc.) It had been a long day and I was walking back with them to their car. Emily (I think about 4-5) was tired/cranky and fell and popped the balloon she was carrying. So she started crying. My niece put David (he being about 2-3) in his car seat and then sat down to calm Emily down. I know my niece was tired herself.

That just impressed me because how many times have you heard some parents just tell their child "Stop crying" and leave it at that.

Becky? (A name I've always liked!)

Jennifer? (If she is, I hope she won't fall in love with anyone named Ben )

And we have a winner. My first niece was named Rebecca (which is a name I liked and was glad she was a girl because of it) which was shortened to Becky.

Jennifer (or Jen) is my adopted niece and adopted sister to Becky.

And poor Elissa, whom no one picked, is Kara's sister.

Alright! I guess that makes it my question again.

I've mentioned this in passing only a few times over the years. Since I was about eleven, I've had the biggest crush on a major movie actress, and totally love her. I collect lots of books and memorabilia on her, and very few people know about this 'secret crush', including my Mom, my girlfriend and one or two of my friends.

She is...

A) Julia Roberts
B) Jennifer Anniston
C) Ingrid Bergman
D) Audrey Hepburn
E) Nicole Kidman

Audrey Hepburn
