    Although I do it from time to time, I'm not a big fan of chronic complaining either!

    I'm with you on number 10. I'd love to play the piano, too. One of the talents I'm saving for the next life around. LOL

    Great answers, Michael. There's something comforting about the Westminster chimes. The sound is timeless, which is not bad for a clock.

    So honest, to admit your least favorite word is no. Me too when I'm hearing it. But when I'm saying it, I think it's the best word in the world.

    Great answers! And, I wish I could play the piano better. My fingers are too short. :(

    Great answers - 'Bitch' works even when it's whispered!

    I'm with you on #1 and 4!

    And "Bitch" is so versatile. Great choice.

  12. UnknownFebruary 16, 2011 at 9:07 AM

    Great answers! I love 'bitch' too. It's one of those curse words you can get away with and still send an undeniable message. And I learned something new about you: you play piano :))

    The link was broken on your Mr. Linky name. Looks like you typed your url without the .blogspot.com. I think I fixed it, but I'm going to add a note on my post today with the link.

    Thanks for playing along!

    "No" is a very bad word, I must agree.

  14. AnnFebruary 16, 2011 at 10:22 AM

    That was my children's lest favorite word too! Don't use it as much these days. Music, food for the soul.

    Clock chimes, that's a great answer! Love that sound! It is a wise man who does not want to be a policeman. ;)

  22. LTMFebruary 16, 2011 at 12:47 PM

    oh, yes. Hammering, complaining... these are all terrible sounds. I think Bitch, when used at the right time, is SO. FUNNY. But I confess, my favorite curse is sh!t... it just jumps out there~ ;p <3
