Hmmm.... Well, truthfully, I wouldn't want to go to either space or the deep ocean. I like the ground :p But, if I have to pick one.. um... well, I guess the ocean. I can't swim exactly, but it's more familiar what with it being on earth and all and space is just... wow... really a scary thought, LOL!

Although I wouldn't mind going into space if it meant going through the stargate.
Just sayin'.

Okay, a brand new question of the day.
If you had entered a competition and won, and the prize was either a relaxing holiday in the sun, or a ski-ing holiday in the snow, which one would you pick?

The holiday in the sun
I will have plenty of snow in my driveway (which my son will have to shovel :-) in a few days, so absolutely it will be a holiday in the sun.

Relax in the sun. Winter hasn't even started and I'm already sick of the cold

Sunshine, yep...of course if you ask me the same question when it's 105 with heat index, maybe I'd choose differently

I'd pick a relaxing holiday in the sun. I hate cold weather.

As a New Englander and Upstate New Yorker for 58 of my 60 years, I'll take the sun. I've had my fill of snow, whether to shovel, to drive through, to ski in, to look at, or any other method of supposed enjoyment.

I can't ski and don't want to learn, so I'd take the sun (although with plenty of hats, umbrellas, and sunscreen!)

Sun or snow ... snow or sun ...
Well ... seeing as I'd go somewhere with a lot of trees, and remembering that I'm a total klutz and I'd probably *slapbangouch* into a tree if some crazy person was crazy enough to let me on the ski-lift ... omg, ski-lift. That's another calamity waiting to happen *flashes back to grade 7 ski trip when she fell off the lift, repeatedly*. Yeah, so, pass the suntan lotion. I'm going to the beach. I'll sit under a palm tree. (Less of a hazard to my health, methinks. Unless a coconut lands on my head ...) Can we have less hazardous options, for the accident prone? @_@ |

I'd take snow, just because everyone else is going to the beach and I prefer peace and quiet.
Now, what was this thread about again?

I actually miss being able to make snow angels. Watch the steam rising off my overheating dead body. But as long as I don't have to ski. I don't turn well and when I tumble, I dislocate everything. Seriously, everything. It's that pesky genetic collagen defect of mine. And then someone would have to sweep me onto a gurney so I could get sent to the hospital and get everything put back together again. So I think it's best if I stick to rigorous snow angel making as my winter time activity thankyouverymuch.

I'm glad you asked
. Here's the brand new Question of the Day:An Evil Galactic Nasty Warlord Person has come to Earth and is setting about destroying all flavours of ice-creams. However, the Evil Galactic Nasty Warlord Person has given you a choice of saving just one flavour of ice-cream, your most favourite. Which flavour of ice-cream would you pick? (and don't question the scenario, it could happen)

Mmm, that could be peppermint. Or it could be choc chip. Or it could also be caramel. I just don't know. Do I have to choose just one?
I'll say caramel. |
