What is your reason (or reasons) for living?

Its better than being dead.

 

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution for this year? If so what was it and have you kept it so far?

Resolved to quit smoking AGAIN.

Haven’t done so yet, but I will. (I’ve done it before. A few times.)

Paul: Yeah well… first of all, we’re bringing out a ‘Stamp Out Detroit’ campaign.

(Appreciate the encouragement, @meanmistermustard ! As recently as 2013 I was able to buy myself a pack or two for when visiting family/socializing with friends who smoke, and then not touching another cigarette until the next visitation weeks/months later. But I’ve been too weak-willed to even try to quit since then.

I can’t see it happening. I never get tired of the Beatles and i really like it here (the folk are varied in their personalities and really nice) so why leave? I’ve been a member for over 3 1/2 years and its a tremendous place to be.

This thread used to be called the “Candid Questions” thread. The Question and Answer! game thread is now a part of this thread.

The questions may be Beatles-related or not.

You can answer any question that has been asked in the thread. Try to answer the latest question posted also. If you don’t have an answer for the most recent question, put a reminder in your post for others of the last question that was asked.

Do try to think of a question to ask us. It exercises your brain and ours. I love it when people ask me questions. A certain someone on here knows that :-)

If Paul asked you to smoke some weed with him on Beatrice’s 18th birthday, would you?

I have to say I completely agree. As folks know I sometimes have had periods when I don’t want to communicate to anyone on the planet and yet I come back to this place, my absences are even getting shorter – which means all of you fine folks have become even more important to me over time.

Thanks all.

I’d probably look at him and say “You know I love you Paul, and your music has brought happiness to my life for thirty five years. You may be a Knight of the British Empire but” (and then I would take a cigar out of my pocket) “this is what a gentleman smokes.”

 

(Of course I’m kidding. That is something a gentleman would never say or do)

Nope.

 

What would you do if you got a mysterious PM from a new user and when you opened the PM, a one foot egg came out of your computer screen?

I’d suspend their account. I think Joe might back me up on that one. But, then again, he might un-ban them. I’ll let him make the big calls.

When was the last time you played a card game with a real deck of cards?

On Christmas Eve, with my mother and my sister as we awaited the arrival of Santa (and bro-in-law, who had to work until past 2am.) We’d had a few drinks & other things and enjoyed a laughter-filled evening. (Would’ve enjoyed it even more if bro was there – we could’ve played euchre or hearts or some other 4-player game.)

 

Do you have any tattoos? Do you want any?
