Just in case anyone is not aware yet what this is all about...

This thread is for people to either offer, or be nominated by another member to go into The HOT Seat, so we can possibly find out more about our friends here. Once in that 'hot seat' so to speak, the idea is for other members to ask that person questions about their life and interests in general.
Perhaps where they live, do they have pets, do they like a drink, do they go on holidays much, and if so where? I don't really know, as that is for you to decide. The person will be in the 'Hot Seat' for around 2 days (around 48 hours) answering questions as and when they can.
That's the general thinking anyway.
Please feel free to offer either yourself, or nominate another forum member, who may or may not want to do this of course.
I think that you will all agree that our VickyNightowl, Ameriscot, Ina, Sifuphil, Ralphy, Boozercruiser, Gail.S, Lydiag, Arachne, Bob 235, fureverywhere, Gia and Cheshire Cat all did a rather lovely job in answering their particular questions. I for one feel that I know a lot about them than I did before, which is very nice.

Hi everyone---looking forward to answering your questions --so Kenny--let me think--I have had some lovely holdays in my time---but I guess one of the best about 20 years ago--my 3 friends and i went to Usa [again] to see concerts [again] hired a car when we got there---but they had to change it for a van as we had so much luggage !! We travelled along the West Coast---did concerts in Las Vegas---Disney world in Los Angeles--met up with a good friend Raymond--a native of San Francisco, who drove us all around, seeing places that tourists dont usually go--a proper Chinese restaurant--Raymond himself was Chinese---so many wonderful wonderful memories-so much fun--and that was actually our 9th holiday in USa--also our last--but they were all brilliant. thank you for my question Kenny--bought back some great memories for me.
 

Or it could be the holiday where we went to Lake Tahoe for concerts--travelling throuigh Yosemite and stayin in a wod cabin, with chipmunks all around--driving through Sequioa---back to Vegas, LA and San Francisco again--and it just happened to be my birthday on trhe day we flew out--so my birthday lasted 36 hours--had loads of presents and cards on the plane-a birthday cake arrived halfway through the flight-big enough to feed half the plane--plus a bottle of champagne from the pilot when we left--on the strength of this , my friend invited the whole of our group to our room for a party--unfortunately we lay down for 5 minutes---fell fast asleep !!!!! that was a great holiday
 
Or the ones where we went to New york and New England--i loved New York-loved Boston--we went to cape cod, Marthas vineyard--Kennedy memorial--paddled in the Atlantic--us side--concerts all over New England--helicopter ride thrugh the sky scrapers of New York-2 nights stay in Atlantic city----too much to remember--but just fun and laughs all the way....

Well Marian.
I was going to ask.
Do you like to boast?
But I already know the answer! :playful: :sentimental:

Seriously, you are very lucky to have done all of that.
I have never been to America, which I sadly regret.
Can't travel those distances now.

Now then Mariana.

If you could trade lives with one person in this whole world.
Would you?
And if so, who would that be?

I don't think I have had the pleasure of seeing you around the forum yet Ruthanne.
Mind you.
Apart from looking after this thread, I struggle to get around here much.
Particularly as the forum is so large, with lots and lots and lots of members.
Anyway, thank you, and I will go put you down NOW! :cool:
 
PS Folks.
It is now 23.22PM London time, so if Marian doesn't reply there, it might be because she is tucked up in beddy byes.:cool:
Still please feel free to continue with any questions.
This Lady is so very friendly, I know that she will answer just as soon as she can.

Hi Mariana :D

My question is similar to one you asked me. When and where did you join your first forum?
Click to expand...

Well, i just have a few minutes so try and answer a couple of questions now---
firstly Cheshire cat--I am now on 3 forums--the first one I joined a year ago when I was going through a very difficult time of my life--the support I received was invaluable---so I now join in another 2 forums---and sometimes see the same faces and names which is really nice.
The problem I have is to try to not repeat myself on the different forums.But I think i may be winning on that.

Sorry Kenny--I do get carried away---when I think of my holidays so many memories come back to me.

If i could trade lives with one person, it would not be anyone specific---but someone with a loving husband, a family, some grandchildren, maybe a new baby in the family. Although I was married twice--the 2nd time very happliy---I never had that family thing in my life.
 
Ruthanne said:
Mariana, do you have children and if so how old are they?
Click to expand...

Hi Ruthanne---no I do not have children--I married at 20, following year i went into labour at 6 months--noone could find out why--my baby daughter died 2 days later. I had a miscarriage the following year, and the marriage broke up. i have had 2 other men in my life since then, both with grown up families---but none of them would accept or acknowledge me as a new partner to their dad.

Hi Mariana, a question I ask everyone it seems-Dog person? Cat person? Both? Neither?
Click to expand...

When my husband was alive we always had cats--many of them over the years---and although he has been gone 11 years, I still have a cat from those days---but when he died, I bought 2 puppies for company etc---and I could not cope without them--so it has to be dogs every time--but I love cats too.
 
Gail.S said:
Mariana, do you have an embarrassing moment from years ago that still haunts you to this day?
Click to expand...

Ok Gail i am back again---my most embarrassing moment happened a good few years back--my friends and I belong to a fan club, and we would all get together for a concert tour--maybe a couple of hundred of us---so on this particular night, at the end of the concert, we were gathered round the stage to give him flowers, cards or presents---then he stsarted to sing his last song--so we all had to kneel down for people behind us to sse, as it was a very low stage. So there me and my friends were , front of stage, under the mike--but unable to move an inch--He began to sing "when a child is born "----thats a clue as to who it was--then he came to the speaking part--"And all this happened et etc etc" and I was suddenly gripped by an excruciating spasm of cramp in the back of my leg--I let out one loud scream, everyone turned and glared at me---I could see him looking down wondering what had happened---but I had to wait till the end of the song before i could move--eventually got up--with some help--still in agony---real embarrassment---nearly as emabarrasing as having to confess to you all. !!!
