1. If you had your wedding to do over again what would you do differently? If you haven't been married yet and you were going to then how would you envision your wedding? This question is dedicated to Cam.

Hmm. Well, I'd really like to have had dancing at the reception. My father-in-law is a pastor, and he and my mother-in-law agreed to pay for the reception, but only if there was no dancing. In reality, the reception was pretty boring. Susan and I once thought we'd do a big party for everyone for our 10th anniversary. Guess we gotta do that some other year...

2. Do you believe that there is one person in the world that is your mate or do you believe that many people could be a suitable mate? This question is more philosophical rather than personal. This question dedicated to Jim.

No, I don't believe there's just one special person. I do believe in love at first sight, but there could be several people that you just click with. I loved Susan at first sight, and spent many months trying to get her to go out with me. When Mom and Dad met at that ice skating party years ago, she went home and announced to her family that my Dad was the man she would marry. I think she was about six.

3. Would you rather have a great car that didn't run very well (needs repair monthly but let's say other than that it is your dream car) or would you rather have a crappy car that runs great and is very reliable? This question is dedicated to Gina

Give me reliable crap. Cars just aren't my thing. Practical is where I'm at with transportation. I've never owned a coupe in my life.

4. If kids didn't cost anything how many would you have? This question is dedicated to Bill.

Does this also mean that the house grows as the family does? And the car? If so, I could see going up one more: 4. I'm realizing that time means more to a healthy family than money. So even if money were no object, time still would be. I think more than four and I just wouldn't have the time needed to give to each child.

5. You have $1000 to buy a TV. You can add personal money to this if you want to get something really high end or spend less than this and keep the change. You have many choices. They all have general advantages and disadvantages. Traditional style tube TV's are very affordable but have lower quality pictures and are older technology. Rear projectors are more expensive while still being affordable but they are very large and again the picture quality doesn't match some of the new technology. Front projectors give you great picture but require a dark room and tend to be expensive. LCD TVs are the flat panel style that hang on the wall so they are large with great pictures without taking up a lot of space but they are very expensive. Plasma are much like LCD but they tend to be a bit more expensive and offer even better picture quality. There is also some debate as to whether Plasma lasts as long as LCD. So the question is which one would you get and why? This question dedicated to Barry.

This question is great! Of course, if you know Barry, it's even greater! For me, it would be CRT widescreen. I can't put a TV on the wall, as then you'd have picture behind the speakers. Not good. So plasmas and LCDs don't really do anything for me. I don't think there's much good in a front projector at that price range. (If cost weren't an object, I'd go front projector.) So a regular tube will do for me, thanks.
