Ameriscot in The Hot Seat !

Annie, would you ever consider moving back to live in the U.S. full-time? If so, why? If not, why not?
 

Annie,how old did you retire and what was life like before retirement?

I was 55 when I 'stopped working'. My husband had retired and he wanted to volunteer in Africa, so I quit my job and we went to Uganda for two years. When we came back I didn't want to work, so I didn't.

For the 7 years I lived in Scotland before that I first did temp clerical jobs, then I got tired of offices and for the final 3 years I worked part-time as companion/carer for elderly in sheltered housing (semi-independant). Since my husband was a headmaster he got all the school holidays and that's when we would travel.
 
Ameriscot, if at your present age your doctor told you that you were going to have twins, what would be reaction?

LOL, ain't gonna happen. I'm 64 and haven't been able to have kids since I was 40. So it would be a miracle. I like my freedom to travel when I want, kids would put a crimp in that. :D
 
Fair enough.
Just remember though, when it is my turn in that chair, please don't ask me that question either! :p

Are you into gadgets such as IPads or whatever?

Ok. I won't.

I have an ipod, laptop, tablet, smartphone, but no ipad. And a DSLR camera if that counts.
 
Annie, has anything in your younger life impacted you to the point of opinion change on a particular subject?

I can't think of anything specific but my opinions on many things changed from, say, my 20's to now. My mind became more and more open the older I got.
 
Annie-- What got you to Uganda?

My husband volunteered at an NGO to train teachers there at a teachers' college. So we lived there for 2 years. There were a lot of inconveniences and I did get homesick, but I loved it. Never regretted going for a minute. For being on the equator the weather was lovely.
 
Annie, if you could have a one on one dinner with any celebrity or political figure, who would it be and why would you choose this person?

Bob, I'll have to think about this one and reply in the morning. It's after 10pm and the whisky/honey/lemon I drank for my nasty cold is putting me to sleep. :)

So in view of the fact that you have a lousy cold, I will ask you a nice easy one to start off your day.

Did you get a good night's sleep Annie?
Are you feeling better today?
Did the whisky/honey/lemon drink work?;)

Pope Francis. I'm an ex-catholic but I love some of what he says. I would want to discuss some of the things he's said that I agree with and also ask why the church refuses to see that birth control is necessary.

Thanks. I was parked on the sofa all day yesterday which is why I was anwering questions so quickly. I slept well in between coughing fits. Yes that concoction works well to ease a cough, but then you have to keep drinking more of it as the effects don't last long enough. One can get drunk doing this. :playful:

Nice one Annie, and whatever turns you on is good.
Now then, please allow me to be a little bit cheeky and ask two short questions, which only requires two short answers.

1. Do you ever use a spell checker? :playful:
2. On holiday do you ever go topless?

Thanking you in anxious anticipation! :cool:

Well, well, it's about time you got out of bed! :D

1. Rarely. When I have spelling mistakes it's just typos, not that I can't spell something.
2. Not yet. I do wear a bikini in Thailand, but it's illegal to go topless or bottomless. If we went to a place with nude beaches I'd do it.
