| These are VERY important questions....To come up with quality answers, it would take some time. Too many to answer right here...Now, if they were each placed on separate threads, I bet we'd get some GREAT answers...
Just my thoughts....
I can answer one of them, right now.....I don't have a job....I'm retired...
Fondly,
KK

| ok.. I will bite..
1. Favorite scene - End of 'Dances with Wolves' where Lt John Dunbar and Stands With Fists leave the camp, Wind In His Hair cries out that Dances with Wolves will always be his friend. Wow.. Great friendship even in the worst of environments.
2. What I love about my job - Being able to help other people succeed. I help them with the use of my company's software. The more I can help them, the more successful they are.
3. My Definition of a Relationship: Holy smokes! My definition of a healthy relationship would be where two people support and encourage each other. They take turns drinking from each other's cup, and make sure it is filled back up. Trust is a must. Communicating with each other is key, even in a difference of opinions. Emotions are open, Truth is omnipresent.
4. If money were no object: I would enjoy doing philanthropic work, and donating my time to help other people.
5. oh.. an embarassing moment.. uhhh.. ok.. the grocery store (from my profile).. I had just returned from a weekend of motorbike riding in the mountains. The ride was still fresh in my mind as I walked through the grocery store with my cart. I was sliding the back wheels of the cart back and forth, making these vrrroooom.. vrrrooom sounds, just like in the mountains. I had loaded up the cart with apples, veggies, flour, a bottle of wine, some eggs.. as I was 'power sliding' around the end of the isle, I didn't see the missing floor tile. The front wheel of the cart caught it.. In a very weird slow-motion kind of way, the cart tipped over, looking like a drugged elephant shot with a tranquilizer gun.. The bottle of cabernet smashed on the floor, creating a star-burst pattern of wine and glass. The eggs hit on the edge, splitting open like a ripe watermelon.. Now there were eggs and shells smashed with the wine. The 5 lb bag of flour arced slowly through the air doing a full twist with a half-gainer, hitting the floor with a sickening 'thud' and a cloud of flour dust... the dust was settling, and my shoulders visibly slumped, with my jaw wide open in total amazement.. As the dust was still settling, I could hear over the loudspeaker.. 'CLEAN UP ON ISLE 7 NOW!." A crew came out.. the manager came running.. I was in shock.. They asked me if I was OK. I just looked at the cart, pointed, and shrugged my shoulders. I offered to help, but they just made sure I didn't get too close. I am now allowed in the store, but I can only have a hand basket.. and my nickname is 'Crash' in that store.. The Manager of the store is my best friend Mark.. He told all the staff to call me 'Crash' when they see me now..
ok.. NEXT!

| 1. The Replacements... in the bar after Keanu Reeves wins their first game. He kisses the girl on the cheek and heads for the door... only to stop, turn around, make eye contact with her, swallow his pride, and churn up his bravery. He slowly walks back to her. She slowly meets him half way... the look in her eye is so inviting, he kisses her breifly. She smiles quickly showing her approval, and they indulge in that long kiss!!
2. The mechanic aspect- troubleshooting something that doesnt work at all, and repairing it on the spot.
The Wrecker Aspect- helping someone who is in dire straits on the side of the road. Delivering someone home to their loved ones, Being chosen to single-handedly coordinate the cleanup of a very ugly, and often touchy situation which requires skill and precision often times amidst the worst of conditions
3. There are so many levels of relationships, it really depends upon the feelings associated within that relationship.
4. Honestly, I would start a motocross racing team. 3 racers, all locals from the New England area, and give them the support and backing they needed to seriously challenge the circuit in chasing a Championship. My hope would be to watch them reach the national level and move on to better, factory-backed teams, or help promote my team to that National level and chase the championship as a team effort.
This idea has been done before by a few people who have goine on to not only launch the careers of several great racers, but also turn the team into a lucrative, sought after entity within the industry.
5. Most certainly, but there are too many to think about and I just dont have it in me right now.

| Wow, good post, makes one stop and think!
1. What's your favorite scene from your favorite book or movie? I think the movie was "High Spirits" and the scene was when the ghoast asked him to kiss her as she was turning into a hundred year old bag of bones.
2. What do you love about your job? Problem solving, insuring that evryone gets the benifits they deserve, and making the company look good.
3. What's your definition of a relationship? A partnership, working together to create the best that can be provided in support and fullfilment of goals as well as mutual happiness. Don't nessarily need to enjoy the same things as long as you are there for each other.
4. If money were no object, what would you do with your life? Travel, explore the back roads of Costa Rica, paint sunsets and beaches, write, and restore cars (4 months in Costa Rica, 3 months traveling, and 5 months a year in SD.
5. Will you share an embarrassing moment with me? I heard a really strange noise (like weezing) out the back door. I grabbed a sword (it was handy), and opened the door. I did not see anything at first, then heard movement, looked down and this drulling boxer/bulldog just came waddling in. I lowered the point to his chest, but he just kept coming in. Needless to say I just kept backing up, because I didn't want to hurt him, and ended up backing all the way through the house, while the rest of my brothers and even my dad couldn't stop laughing. My dad stopped his progression by reaching down and scratching his neck. They still won't let me forget that night.

| 1. dr zhivago, the leaves blowing in the wind/music
dr zhivago.. the horse drawn sled traveling thru snow/ice covered world/music
immortal beloved, the stars the lake and the music and his running
2. nothing
3. dance or a bond between two people who care about each other. It's an alive and fluid thing.. constantly changing.. like the tempo or weaving of a dance. There's music too. And it's a bond. an attraction between two people. Not so much like two magnets that snap together.. but more like a binary star.. where they orbit each other.
4. become a professional student or writer hehe or maybe a photographer. I think i'd gravitate towards a caribbean island and a cabin in the snowbound woods.
5 sure if i could think of one.. how about this one right now?

5. Will you share an embarrassing moment with me?
I once fell on my motorcycle showing off and had to ride home pant-less. Humbling and enjoyed a good laugh at myself

| actually, you may not want to ask questions #3,4 and 5. why, well for starters, question 3, you may scare somebody away with that kind of question, you got to remember, it's a first date, you have to let the person know you first and a question like that may be a red flag to someone probbably meaning that you are moving too fast. on question #4, they might think that you want to know how much money they are making so that you could be asking for things or money "help". and question #5, that's a question you don't ask, they will tell you when they are remembered by something and or that would come out when the both of you are in a converstion were the both of you are laughing.

| 1. The page where Spot runs
2. I sell screws - so I guess it would be the climax (but only because you're making us pick. In reality it could be the foreplay, or anything in between)
3. When one 'ahhh' leads to another without thought.
4. Go sailing.
5. I'd make an embarrassing moment with you.
