**Poll**
Thank you for the warm welcome. As requested by Surfinbride, a fun little poll to get to know you all (or show some of my weirdness).
- It's laundry day and you're out of the regular underwear. Do you a) Dig out the granny panties from the back of the drawer even if it means a stretched-out-tug-all-day pair, b) Pull the cleanest one from the dirty pile and swear you'll do a wash asap, or c) go commando, the H would be in for a nice surprise later in the evening
- A close friend of mine has a serious freaky anti-fetish to toes and feet. She once stated she'd rather have her husband lose the whole foot than to look at a foot missing a toe or two. What body part on your H could you do without?
- Which 3 food items are on your do not eat list?
- Speaking of food, describe your perfect default dessert that you have a hard time straying from after a nice restaurant dinner.
- You just won a free plane ticket to your dream vacation spot. But the only seat left is the center. You can chose the seatmates but they have one of these flaws: a) non-stop talker who will try to one-up every conversation, b) the armrest hog who will leave you with dangly spaghetti arms the rest of the flight, or c) the music lover who shares way too much music even though their headset is on
- From your wedding, is there any one picture or moment you wished you had captured?
- Lastly, lucky number 7, you win the lottery for 1 million dollars, what do you buy first?

Re: **Poll**
To answer my own random poll
1. Grannies, al the way! That's why I save them!
2. Hmmmm.....his fingernails kind of gross me out when I look closely. He keeps them cropped VERY short, so the skin kind of grows up around them at the tip. I try not to look too closely!
3. any seafood/fish, mushrooms, veal
4. sorbet! I know that's probably kind of boring, but I'm not the biggest chocolate fan (I don't dislike it, I just have to be in the right mood). I love tropical sorbets with fresh fruit
5. definitely armrest hog. Even though I have pretty long arms, I think I'd take that over any of the others!
6. I wish we had gone in the water during the photos we took on the beach right after the ceremony. But we still had to go to the reception, and I certainly wasn't going to do that wet! And I'm kind of cheap about some things, so I wasn't about to pay for another photo shoot the next day just to TTD.
7. the expensive champagne is a good idea, but I might have to say a great piece of jewelry to celebrate the occasion (I've always wanted an asscher-cut aquamarine ring)
It's laundry day and you're out of the regular underwear. Do you a) Dig out the granny panties from the back of the drawer even if it means a stretched-out-tug-all-day pair, b) Pull the cleanest one from the dirty pile and swear you'll do a wash asap, or c) go commando, the H would be in for a nice surprise later in the evening
A - Granny panties...and then, honestly, when they really start to annoy me...I'd go commando.
A close friend of mine has a serious freaky anti-fetish to toes and feet. She once stated she'd rather have her husband lose the whole foot than to look at a foot missing a toe or two. What body part on your H could you do without?
Hmm...not sure. I love ALL of him. But he does have these weird callouses on his feet from having big but narrow feet. So I guess I'd say feet. But honestly there is nothing about my man that I cannot stand.
Which 3 food items are on your do not eat list?
Peppers, raw onions, and any sort of organ meat.
Speaking of food, describe your perfect default dessert that you have a hard time straying from after a nice restaurant dinner.

Music lover and non-stop talker. I'd put in earplugs and take a sleeping pill. 'Nuff said.
From your wedding, is there any one picture or moment you wished you had captured?
I think she caught it all but I wish we had some of Joseph's family there to have been in the photos.
Lastly, lucky number 7, you win the lottery for 1 million dollars, what do you buy first?
I'd pay off all of our debts first. Then buy a house with cash.

It's laundry day and you're out of the regular underwear.

Go commando. I don't own anything but g-strings anyway, so it wouldn't be much of a difference.
A close friend of mine has a serious freaky anti-fetish to toes and feet. She once stated she'd rather have her husband lose the whole foot than to look at a foot missing a toe or two. What body part on your H could you do without? There is this spot right above his butt that has the weirdest scar-looking-thing. He claims it's been there since he was a teen from doing so many situps. It's one of those spots that will itch and he'll scratch it raw, so from behind you always see this red spot above his butt. I'd prefer not to look at it.
Which 3 food items are on your do not eat list? Ketchup, Oysters, Salmon
Speaking of food, describe your perfect default dessert that you have a hard time straying from after a nice restaurant dinner. Without a doubt, creme brulee!

The music lover....I just hope it's music I like, or can at least stand.
From your wedding, is there any one picture or moment you wished you had captured? Not that I can recall. I wish I'd hired a videographer, but think I got all of the photos that I wanted.
Lastly, lucky number 7, you win the lottery for 1 million dollars, what do you buy first? Before buying anything, I'd be sure I was completely debt free. Then, a bigger house!
What, what, and what!?! You just listed my meals for the last 4 days! I used half a bottle of ketchup with my omelette today, smothered my fries in ketchup yesterday, had fried oysters for lunch cuz I was craving it, and had salmon two nights in a row before that! At least we'll never fight for food
we would've made great siblings growing up cuz my bro and I always fought over food!
Definitely A.
His facial hair. If he gets lazy and doesn't shave, I get pricked when I kiss him. I even suggested lasering it off but he refuses =P
Black licorice, anything spicy, tortilla chips (or corn tortillas)
souffle--if it's on the menu, I wont leave without ordering it at all costs
I have wide shoulders so either A or C are better for me than B. Although I'm usually happy just not being seated next to someone who is really sick because I'll probably catch whatever they have for sure...
I didn't get any good pics of my dress before I put it on cuz I got changed before the photographers arrived cuz I thought I wouldn't care too much about having nice pics done of my dress since my BMs and I already took some with our cameras but then I regretted it.
A house in the bay area.
1. A - I own way too many pairs of underwear to be completely out of somewhat decent ones to wear (even if they aren't all the most attractive)
2. I really don't know... I'm not big on feet but DH's feet are fine (I made sure he could pull off wearing slippers before I married him). I think the only thing I would change is he has hairless patches on his legs and normally I don't notice it but when I do... I REALLY notice it.
3. Spicy food (can't handle it), Asparugus, and many other types of veggies
4. A good bread pudding, some kind of cheesecake, a good piece of pie or chocolate cake (ok... realistically, I find it incredibly hard to stray from dessert... I always find something on the menu I like or want).
5. C - because I can put on headphones to drown out his music (hopefully)
6. I haven't received all of our pictures yet (I'm so anxious) but I think I will wish I had more pictures of me with just my dad and a picture of me with just my siblings and my dad (as in - NO stepmom or stepbrothers or their girlfriends).
7. Well a million dollars is not enough for my dream house (curse you Lanikai for being so expensive) but it would be this small green house located at the beginning on Lanikai, HI. Compared to all the other houses in Lanikai, it's small but it's an open style house and has a huge yard (very uncommon for Lanikai) and it's right on the water.
YAY! Thanks for coming up with the poll.
Newlyweds since 2007
Woohoo! I love polls!
Heh I didn't think of this...good idea though! I never thought I'd marry a man with back hair, but there you go...our kids are destined to be hairy little buggers.
And also:
Ohhh yes. I forgot about these things. Ate them once. Never again.
I have NEVER liked ketchup. As for oysters, I've tried like 3 times, each time prepared differently, and nope....ain't happening. Salmon is the worst one to hate because everyone (except me) seems to love it. I think I try it again every year thinking it'll somehow change, but it doesn't.
1. I have way too many pairs of underwear to run out. When I buy new ones, I keep 1-2 of the older ones that are in the best shape, just to make sure I always have a backup.
2. J plays hockey and doesn't wear socks with his skates. The friction has built up these giant calluses on the backs of his heels. I hate them!
3. Any type of seafood, mushrooms, deli mustard.
4. Usually any warm fruit dessert with ice cream on top, or if we're at a really nice place I always try the cheesecake. You know, to compare to other places. It's important research!!
5. I'll take the armrest hog and the music lover. I have small shoulders and I'd rather spend 4 hours with music than a chatterbox!
6. I wish she'd taken more pictures of J... we have so many of me with him or by myself, but only 1-2 of just him. What am I gonna do with 96 pictures of myself? I'm not a total AW.
7. First, I'm debt-free and then we build our dream house (or at least get a good head-start on the mortgage)!
hahah hillarious thursday poll
1. commando-that is if i run out- i buy loads of undies-and get rid of the ones in bad shape.
2.hmm love all his parts-wouldn't want to be without one
3. gosh i am so darn picky where to start-have not eaten any meat since i was a small child, synthetic crab or seafood, ( i do eat fish from time to time), anything with horrible orange fake cheese on it i.e maccaroni and cheese, cheetos, american cheese, cheese wiz, just can't stomach the colour-and for condiments no on mayonnaise, and ketchup-sure there are loads of other things on my no list- oh and creamed spinach big yuck
4. anything deeply darkly chocolate, and if there is some salted caramel sauce-extra yum
5. probably the non stop talker but honestly none of these are that offensive to me-the worst is someone with major bo or cheap fragrance
6. ah the wedding-having a senior moment can't remember
7. any debt would be paid off first-then i would take a year off to travel and then i would start my own business or put more money into my hubbies business
Yaa for polls
That is sooo sad about Salmon. This is one of our favourites but it has be freshly caught and put on the bbq or cooked on a cedar plank with garlic and lemon....oh yum. This past Chistmas I bought some Salmon pepperoni and it was soo deee-lish. You would have hardly have known it was salmon.
It's laundry day and you're out of the regular underwear. Do you a) Dig out the granny panties from the back of the drawer even if it means a stretched-out-tug-all-day pair, b) Pull the cleanest one from the dirty pile and swear you'll do a wash asap, or c) go commando, the H would be in for a nice surprise later in the evening
That will never happen at our house because I'm constantly doing laundry. I am not working now (boo), so there's no reason why there should be laundry piling up. BTW, don't tell anyone, but I LOVE doing laundry.
A close friend of mine has a serious freaky anti-fetish to toes and feet. She once stated she'd rather have her husband lose the whole foot than to look at a foot missing a toe or two. What body part on your H could you do without?
Honey has this scar (not a body part) smack dab in the middle of his forehead. The story goes like this: early college, wasted, and tried to jump over a fence but landed right on his face. Poor guy.
Which 3 food items are on your do not eat list?
All seafood, All Chinese food, eggs
Speaking of food, describe your perfect default dessert that you have a hard time straying from after a nice restaurant dinner.
I NEVER get dessert at restaurants. I'm not a dessert person. I do endulge on a donut or some ice cream from time to time, but that's it.
You just won a free plane ticket to your dream vacation spot. But the only seat left is the center. You can chose the seatmates but they have one of these flaws: a) non-stop talker who will try to one-up every conversation, b) the armrest hog who will leave you with dangly spaghetti arms the rest of the flight, or c) the music lover who shares way too much music even though their headset is on
I'd go with the armrest hog.......and just wait till he/she goes to the restroom or drinks his drink, and then take over the armrest.
From your wedding, is there any one picture or moment you wished you had captured?
Shawn Starr hooked me up. Nothing missed photo wise or video wise. But I do wish my mother and I hadn't had issues. We don't have one photo together.
Lastly, lucky number 7, you win the lottery for 1 million dollars, what do you buy first?
Oh totally easy.......its going to happen too! I have always wanted to take 30 of our closest friends and go on a huge vacation. All expenses paid for!
1. Granny panties all the way.
2. His nails bug me. He bites them so look all hap-hazard. Ugh.
3. Seafood, japanese curry (i.e. Curry House), chili
4. Chocolate cake/brownie with ice cream, and hot fudge. Yum.
5. C all the way. The loud music isn't too annoying to me.
6. Hmm, not sure on that one. We have tons of pics, and haven't received our pros yet. So I guess I would have to get back to you on that.
7. I would buy a house.
Lovin' the fun poll!!
