My Jenny Questions These are the online 'singles' questions that Jenny decided to send out to the skiing gang, so I'm keeping everyone's answers here for posterity, including mine. The folks who answered are: Steve (that'd be me) Jenny (she started all of this, NJ) Karen (formally of NY, now in SF, was answering wants not has) Elaine (wild one from NY, also answering for desires) Wes (Hawaii !!) Gary (the quiet one from Hawaii) Kevin (skiing stud from Sacramento) Phil (Dr Phil to you, Chicago) Description of physical appearance Steve: old, overweight body being used for weekend warrior excursions Jenny: Attractive and in good shape Karen: Someone with a solid body who weighs more that me. ( one with a good heart and a good sense of humor) Strong hands : someone that can actually give a good massage. (After being chastised for not answering the question) I guess I was describing the physical appearance of the the opposite sex.. All I have to offer is physical strength, strong hands and a good heart. Can't wait to go back to the gym.. wes: Can you vouch for me? remember that massage? Elaine: Masculine. (Also after being chastised for answering the wrong question) OK, my answer to #1 as in "is" : A woman. Now, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder, and we behold ourselves either as beautiful or ugly, and the perspective could be completely different from the person viewing you. So, to be universally correct, I have given you a factual description (last time I check) rather than a qualitative one. Wes: I'm in shape, round is a shape isn't it?

Gary: My Heart and Faithful Companionship Kevin: knowledge, security, enthusiasm, support, and love Phil:Pit passes to the next Indy F1 event. Describe your ideal Sunday Steve: First it would be the Sunday of the change from Daylight Savings to Standard Time so there would be an extra hour of snoozing. Then I think it would be raining, maybe even thunderstorms all the better to putter around the house all day. Then we'd probably call/email/ICQ each other that evening to see how our day went ;) Jenny: It will be just the two of us. Giving each other total attention... Stay inside all day long(if possible in bed)to eat, talk, read, sleep...etc. The only pysical activities allowed for the day would be, you guessed it. Grinding all day long. What a yummy day. Elaine: Wake up whenever we (assuming the Special someone is in the picture) want, depending on the weather, go for a run or a walk. Come home to a leisurely brunch, listen to music, read the paper, and play it by ear......... Wes: (Also assuming the significnt other is in the picture), Wake up at the crack of Dawn to watch the sun wake up the world over Mauna Kea. Have a nice breakfast on a deck overlooking the ocean....tall glasses of fresh squeezed orange juice, relax for a few hours reading the latest in the news. Going for a mid day run or hike with and the golden retriever. Skip lunch to go for a drive in the country looking for yard sales, maybe a nursery for some new potted plants for the home. Stop off at a park and spread out the blanket under a tree, have a late lunch of a deli sandwich and some boston clam chowder. Let the warm sun and the cool breeze calm the nerves......watching the sunset and looking for the green flash. Gary: My ideal Sunday is to wake up to a Sunny Blue Sky with birds singing in the background. I would get up and take a nice long shower. After that, I will sit in my lounge chair with an ottoman (foot rest) and read the morning paper. After that, go out into the Patio and have a light breakfast (pastries, fruits and a tall glass of ice coffee). Then it is out to the beach for a nice time paddling in the ocean. Later that day meet friends for a nice lunch at the the Halekulani Hotel with a view of Waikiki. And the analyses begin: Jenny And here are my feedback based on the answers rec'ved: Steve: I have to give you a credit for answering them first, courageous man! Love the pre-nup answer, hey I am all for that, being practical! I like to visit that happening silicon valley one of these days. check out the happening dudes. Karen: What can I say my dear lady, you have it all. Didn't know you like that 9 and 1/2 stuff. Little kinky too...like I said, you have it all. Whoever catches your heart will sure to have satisfied life in many ways. Elaine: You are a lady with many talents, my dear. Your constant pursue to better yourself means that you are a open-minded person with unlimited willingness. I say, you can have whatever and whoever you want! Wes: You sure are a nice person Wes. And you know what, because of your nicety, I am sure you are having a very rich life. I have feeling that you will meet that "special" person with huge heart, compassion and huge $%? (bonus for you being nice). Seriously. Phil: What can I say Phil, you are an interesting person. Aerodynamic huh, first time hearing such description. Don't know how to interpret that...it could go either being very kinky or very conservative. You don't live on the edge, but you like to feel it every now and then. Smart move. Kevin: Clean cut all the way! You seem like you know what you want in life very clearly. That is a clear sign of maturity. Great stuff to own, because you have earn it. So, you liked Elaine's answers...you have good taste. Gary: I knew you were stalling for a reason. I loved all your answers. You have a very well-rounded perspective in life. Twinkle in the eyes? I don't remember that. Perhaps I should have a better look next time I see you. Elaine Jenny: You forgot to provide feedback on yourself, so here is my read: You are an embodiment of the jungle and domestication. You appreciate the raw beauty of nature, yet do not mind staying home to cook and knit. You have a profound personality that spans both end of the spectrum: spirited yet serene. I think you are inquisitive given your choice of reading are ready for children as well. I say your Mr. Right will indeed be a lucky man. To Steve: Did you not know that I am actually Wes' twin brother, but impersonating as a woman all these years?? To Wes / Karen: I am getting buff to enter some body-building contest, no, actually to get strong enough to "give good hands" (have to learn a trick or two from Karen). Oh yes, add that to my wish list, I want a man with a pair of good hands. To Phil: My only conclusion drawn from your answers (yes, allow me to indulge in a little psycho-analysis of you) is that you like a fast, sleek and athletic woman, and that preferably she is inanimate until you "start her engine" ............. I once heard that the best kind of marriage exists between 2 people where at least one of them is deaf, dumb and blind.
