[DiamondLil]

1. You are hosting a talk show. Name three living guests you would like to interview, and which singer or group you would like to have as your musical guest. I would like to have Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, and Bill Clinton for the interview (all are amazingly interesting men that probably have lots of stories to tell), and for the musical guest, I would have One Direction so my daughters would have unlimited access to their favorite boy band.
2. Can you do anything odd/funny with your body, or its parts? (roll your tongue, wiggle your ears, etc.) roll my tongue, make waves with it too...
3. If you started hearing a voice in your head, with what accent would you like it to speak? most likely British, sounding like that actor thats playing James Bond (forget the name, but nice voice!!!!)

7. What bad table manners make you crazy? Making loud noises when eating (my eldest bro is bad with this, he almost grunts when hes eating... YUCK), smoking at the table, sneezing and not washing your hands, reaching over anyones plate to get bread, salt or pepper, being drunk or high at the dinner table.... sometimes I'd rather eat alone than with some people I know (and some Im related to!!!!)

[Andit]

1. You are hosting a talk show. Name three living guests you would like to interview, and which singer or group you would like to have as your musical guest.
Cesar Milan (to ask him what he really thinks about the folks who own the dogs he helps)
Dr Ian McGilvray (my transplant surgeon, so the world know what an amazing person he is)

Musical guest would be a nice Canadian boy named Brent Carver, who is insanely talented and has been on Broadway, at Stratford, has won a Tony, etc

2. Can you do anything odd/funny with your body, or its parts? (roll your tongue, wiggle your ears, etc.)
Thankfully no. But I do have lots of fun things in my body - almost as many auto parts as the Bionic Woman. Only I can`t run to save my soul.

3. If you started hearing a voice in your head, with what accent would you like it to speak?
I think no accent would be best - if there is any accent, I`d have to listen carefully to make out what is being said.

4. What got you the most into trouble when you were young?
Never really got into trouble, altho I did go through a phase when I hit puberty & craved chocolate (big mistake for a diabetic)

5. What do you remember about your first real date?
Well, I basically re-enacted the song Wake Up Little Susie. Yep, we both fell asleep at the drive-in. I didn't get home til dawn - scared the h*** out of my folks and my friends that they'd called. I feel guilty about that to this day.

6. Have you ever pretended to be sick to get out of something? Explain.

Not closing your mouth when you eat. I rarely see this, but when I do, ewwww. Sheesh, not even my dog and cat do this.

8. What's your favourite board game - as a child, and now?
I doubt anyone has ever heard of it, but the Great Game of Canada - you have to travel to different cities in Canada by air, rail or car - the first person to visit all the cities on their list wins. My new favourite is Settlers of Catan - my neighbour introduced me to it last year & I'm addicted. Good thing I don't own the game or I'd get nothing done.

9. Have you ever performed or appeared on stage for any reason?
One year when I was in Cancun, they had a contest for the tourists. I didn't participate in any of the sporty events during the day, but at night there was a scavenger hunt - one of the items on the list was someone singing a song in Spanish, I was the only person on our 'team' who knew the words to La Bamba. Suffice to say that many glasses of Kahlua helped steady my nerves when I got up on stange and sang in front of about 200 people.

10. What would you like to find under your pillow?
The winning ticket to this week's LottoMax jackpot.
