Comp ended a midnight last night, didn't it? That's why the badges appeared on everyone's profile.

Ha. Neither. In the beginning, there is simply 'I am.' 'I am who I am.' 'Tell them 'I am' sent [you]'

Long hair or short hair cat?

Looking to ride our motorcycles into Pennsylvania tomorrow.

Egad! My 'Contestant' badge shows 6 instead of the correct 3 competitions that I have entered and to make it even worse, the 'Competition' badge section shows FIVE, count them, FIVE (!) 'Summer Love' badges. Hopefully, one day, the techs will get everything tuned-up correctly so that the correct numbers and badges show for people.

Congrats. We had ours lengthened and widened a few years back.

I am looking forward to getting dressed up for our weekly date night. Tonight dinner will be at Olive Garden. Look forward to Church on Sunday and date nights as it allows me wear a nice dress, high heels, and garter belt/hose. Something I don't to much since stepping back from work to be a full-time mom.

Dog. Don't mind cats, but never owned one. My dog, Vallon, I've had since a 4-week old puppy. Turned 13 in June. We've shared so much together.

Tabby or Siamese?

Read em all! I too am glad I'm not judging this! Great field.

I wholeheartedly agree, Verbal. Some excellent stories in this competition. With some serious contenders written by writers outside the normal crowd of winners IMHO.

I am waiting for the rain to stop. Tonight is our weekly 'date night.'

Soft.

Bicycle or public transportation to work?

I am waiting for a call from our service station letting me know our cars have passed their safety and emissions inspections.

Pie Ala mode. Saturday had a slice of warm Strawberry Rhubard with a scoop of vanilla ice-cream. Delicious.

Sledding or tubing?

Buffet. Usually more choices.

Snow skiing or water skiing?

Like both, especially if the restaurant is like an old-fashion 'mom and pop' kind of place. Home cooking is the best IMHO. But cookouts can be more romantic. So cookout.

Sailing on a sailboat or water skiing?

Read it. Exceptional well told. Read it! Guarantee, you won't regret it and will be pleasantly surprised.

Tough choice for sure. We love both. Riding a motorcycle allows you to find and visit sometimes relatively unknown or obscure places of history. But nature preserves can bring peaceful solitude. I guess it depends on my mood, but if had to definitively chose one, nature preserve.

Adventure in space, say visit moon or Mars, or adventure on earth, trying some new and perhaps frightening?

Winter. Freshly fallen snow has an incomparable beauty, especially in the rural areas. Plus, skating, skiing, sledding, and let's not forget, hockey!

Self-guided tour in your car or guided tour on a bus?

As an avid jogger (8 miles in 50-55 minutes, prefer early morning. Swimming is another matter. Cool pool in the heat of the day.

Submersible voyage to bottom of Marianas Trench or climb to top of Mount Everest?

Quote by Mendalla
I still see it. Or did it get fixed overnight?

I had to read the photo and resubmit the story. Sherzhad quickly reapproved the story. Not sure why it disappeared though.

My photo for my entry to the competition has disappeared from the story. Anyone know why?

Use to use a dedicated digital camera, but now, usually it's just the camera on our cell phones.

Early riser or sleep-in while on vacation.

Canoeing or kayaking

RV camping or camping with a tent?

Mountains, hate crowds and beaches tend to be very crowded.

Beach condo or Lake cabin?

Slow dancing, yes. Otherwise, no although I'd love to learn swing.

Resort with all the amenities or rough it camping?

Superman

Star Trek or Star Wars

Hibachi

Running or Swimming?

I am at Canaan Valley State Park, WV with my husband. Wonderful time alone without the distraction of our three girls who, courtesy of paternal grandparents are allowing us to relive our honeymoon.

I am looking forward to getting way to Canaan Valley tomorrow to spend the weekend alone with my husband.

Dark Chocolate.

Asparagus or Brocolli?

As a mom of three girls 5-3-3, I live for time alone with my husband. No contest.

Ride a horse or ride a camel?
