hehe! no-one in their right mind would let me hold a gun!
have you ever been arrested?

No. Never booked but detained.

Where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?

Hopefully, pain free, fissure free, and not worrying so much what I can or cannot eat while doing some traveling.
What disease would you most like to see cured (I realize we want cures for everything)?

i would like a cure for all types of cancer. cancer is a disease that just happens whenever and to whoever. of course, i would like to see a cure for hiv, but since that mainly is passed via drugs/sex/birth, it is a disease that can be eradicated over time if people would stop passing it on.
so my answer is all types of cancer.

if you had to have one of the following removed from your body, what would it be:
an eye, an ear, 1/2 of your brain, an arm, a leg, a foot, or all your teeth?

geeeeez Garet - I forbid you to read depressing books or watch emotional movies - they make you weird LOL !!!
I will pass this one LOL

well i thought that would be an easy one fissy! all the teeth no? then you just get dentures......everyone ends up with them anyway.

underwear made out of cactus and its thorns/stickers or underwear made out of electric eel skin?

Implants are the new way to go--not dentures (I have two)!!
Eel skin
Would you like to take a trip into outer space if you could (space mission, etc.)?

Hey Happy LOL - what do you mean all people end up with dentures LOL !!! Neither of my parents had one - my mom is 70 and has all of her teeth - hopefully I got some of those genes !!!! : ) I would not part from my teeth any more easily than from my foot !!!
Cheryl - that was asked before LOL, but , OK - no !
Have you ever been zapped by electric shock by accident ?

Yes, I was a cleaner in a supermarket and I was using one of those big electric buffers. The wire had worn away a bit and that particular piece of wire just happened to touch a little bit of water on the floor while I was polishing and it threw me across the floor-ouch!!
Whats the silliest thing you've ever done?

ha ha ha Val - oh my, it was scary and funny story at the same time !!!! : ))) I had a couple of shocks , but never like that LOL !!!!
I asked my grandpa if he is going to give birth to a horse in front of full house of guests ( I wished so much for one LOL) - since he had big beer belly it was so logical to me ha ha ha!!!!! ( I was 4)
Did you have a nick-name as a child ?
