It's been awhile since we've had a Friday Five.  Let's do one and see what happens. 

1.  When writing notes or lists, do you write most often in cursive or do you print?

2.  Are you a nail biter?  Were you ever?

3.  Last visit to a hair salon or, for the benefit of Good Sir, a barber?

4.  We all have a 12" ruler somewhere in our house; is yours wooden or plastic?

5.  Is there a book that you feel changed or influenced your life?

BONUS:  Brownies — plain or frosted?

It's been awhile since we've had a Friday Five. Let's do one and see what happens.

1. When writing notes or lists, do you write most often in cursive or do you print? print

2. Are you a nail biter? Were you ever? yes, yes, always.

3. Last visit to a hair salon or, for the benefit of Good Sir, a barber? Last week

4. We all have a 12" ruler somewhere in our house; is yours wooden or plastic? wooden

5. Is there a book that you feel changed or influenced your life? I am sure there is just can't think of one at the moment.

BONUS: Brownies — plain or frosted? frosted, as long as it is chocolate

1. Is it so strange that I write lists in print but my notes are most always cursive?

2. Yes: I bite my nails and always regret it afterwards when performing the necessary remedial work.

3. It can be a bind at times being the lone male here but heck, where would I be without you all?  Barbers are ancient memory, my darling wife is now adept at performing the required service.  She got it wrong just the once, and I had to put a brave face on it when she unwittingly razed my scalp to the bone, I was totally hairless for quite a while (ME! A skinhead?)  YEAH!

4. Both: wood and plastic.  I am caused to wonder just what prompted this question?

5. NO COMMENT. (cos I know what yer gonna say.)

BONUS: I'm not sure but I think 'brownies' is/are some form of potato done in a special way?  To have them plain or frosted is beyond my comprehension.
