40 odd things about me . . . Please play along!

7. Do you believe in ghosts?
I believe there is something beyond our understanding.  I don’t think they’re lost souls unable to get into heaven as I don’t believe in heaven.  Maybe some kind of scientific explanation like emotional echoes picked up by particularly sensitive people?  Who knows?

Orange and lime juice
9. Can you do 100 push-ups?

16. Three favorite drinks?
Skinny Latte or Cappuccino, Sauvignon Blanc, Tropicana Orange and Lime juice
17. Biggest downfall?
Not being able to tell the difference between ‘down time’ and ‘being bored and unoccupied’ and consequently viewing ‘down time’ as a negative thing.

Yeah, if you ever get an itch to sky dive, I will pay some lumber jacks to tie you to a tree. I recall you injuring yourself on a work adventure. So, only looking out for a friend's health.

Hmm, I will have to try orange juice with lime.

Interesting answers. 😊

I appreciate your concern, but I don't think I'm in the market for a skydive anytime soon!
Orange and Lime juice is delicious - the lime just gives the orange juice a little bit of tartness that really wakes you up!

[julchen11.livejournal.com]

I love Posts like These :-) great answers, my dear.
And the Pictures...*hyperventilates*

Thank you :)

[cuddyclothes.livejournal.com]

Um, no. I’m a danger to myself at ground level

Glad you know that, dear! Is orange and lime juice a flavor or a combination?

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Orange and Lime Juice is a combination from Tropicana (I don't know if you have that brand in the US?)
It's pure orange juice, but the lime just gives it a little bit of a kick!

If I hear about you wanting to sky dive, I will be contributing to fairyniamh's lumber jack payment fund. (It felt so weird calling them lumber jacks not loggers.)

Mmmmmm, now I want some orange and lime juice.

Yes, teeth totally count.

I appreciate everyone's concern, but I really don't think I'm in the market for a skydive any time soon! :D

And I love my Orange and Lime juice. Do you get the Tropicana brand where you are? It's a Tropicana juice, and it's delicious!

I didn't know you had any tattoos!!!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

I have a small one on my lower back and a big one across the back of my shoulders.

[whysosadbunny.livejournal.com]

oh wow! what's the big one of? I have 15 of them. Some small, some large.

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Oh dear, you certainly have had a lot of bad luck with the left side of your body! And I agree that broken toes are so painful. I hope you've filled your quota of broken bones now!

Great answers and lovely pics!

[dizzojay.livejournal.com]

Yep, I really hope I've fulfilled my quota of broken bones ten times over. There appears to be some great cosmic entity somewhere out there that really, really hates my left arm!!

[metallidean-grl.livejournal.com]

I can't help but chuckle with all the broken bones.

I mix orange juice with grape juice. never thought of mixing it with Lime juice. Interesting combination.
