I laughed when I read this today. This is my post from exactly four years ago...comments included. lol
Aloha Friday
It is Aloha Friday, once again, a chance for me to take it easy and not think too much, but as you know, I can't really take it easy, because it is just not me to ask you what your favorite brand of peanut butter! For details on Aloha Friday, visit An Island Life!
I could not decide on one question, so I have two, answer one or both, or none, your choice!
IF YOU WERE TOLD TO BUILD AN ARK AND GATHER TWO OF EVERY ANIMAL IN ORDER TO PRESERVE THEIR SPECIES BUT YOU DID NOT BUILD THE ARK BIG ENOUGH AND YOU HAD TO LEAVE ONE SET OF ANIMALS BEHIND, WHICH ANIMAL WOULD IT BE? (No insects)
IF YOU WERE NOT RELATED TO YOUR PARENTS, WOULD YOU LIKE THEM PERSONALLY? WOULD YOU BE FRIENDS?

Snakes. I'd leave the snakes.
(with all the people who I think could use a bite or two....:))
OK if I don't stop commenting, why, someone will think i'm on CAFFEINE!!
I'd have been best friends with my Mum and I may have chatted to my Dad - Sometimes (maybe he wouldn't moan so much if I wasn't his daughter!!)
Don't tell me..you would leave your cat behind?lol
As for the second question,hum..I guess yes,they are not too bad,but I wouldn't see them too often,just as now,lol.
Have a nice day and whoot yourself!:)
think i am with jaime on this one. one mis step...it would get ugly.
And no, I would not like my parents, either one of them.
And OMG!! If Jane can diss her parents, so can I!!! No I would not be friends with them. I feel horrible about this comment. They are not nice people.
And... This is really bizarre. I kinda like the smell of skunks. I would keep them.
Wait- why not insects? Frogs can easily find something else...

I'd probably be friends to a limited degree with my parents - they've mellowed out over the years... ;)
With that, I will agree with many others and leave the skunks behind.
Parents? Absolutely not! They are terrible people. Truly.
As for the animals, wow, that's tough. I'd have to say alligators.
My parents? Well now that I'm in my early-to-mid-to-late 30s I have to say yes. I would totally like them. My mom at 83 is (and I quote her here) an "outrageous older woman" and my dad, unfortunately he's gone now but he was a lot of fun -- loved to travel, liked planes, trains, fast cars, etc not to mention his martini before dinner, wine with dinner, and port after dinner. So yes, I'd be friends with them. But if you'd asked 20 years ago I'd have said 'ummm NO!'
I would be friends with one of them ;-)
Okay,okay. Gotta go w/ the snakes. Some of those guys could swallow a baby whole!
And yes, I probably would be as close to my parents. My mom is pretty nice & my dad is the best. Hubby's mom? Absolutely not!!!
Alright...let's leave out the rat. What good are those anyhow?
As for my parents, let's establish the fact that I love them to pieces, ok?
My mom: HELL no
My dad: You bet (RIP)
Second of all.. yah I think I would be friends with my parents! lol They seem to find friends in everyone!
No, unfortunatley, the parents have disowned me....even while we are related!
Funny you ask about the parents. I like my mom and I don't like my dad. If they weren't my parents I would probably like my dad but not my mom. Interesting how things work out like that.
2. Of course! My parents are terrific. We'd hang out all the time, and I wouldn't be as uncomfortable if they saw me drunk.
I think my parents are awesome people and I do consider them to be friends and parents. I obviously wouldn't spend as much time with them tho if we weren't related.
and for #2 if you asked when I was a teen then i would have probably said no about liking my parents but now hands down my mom is one of my best friends and is definitely a keeper.
As for the parents, I'd probably be scared of my dad... he's a bit intimidating!
OMG!!!!! Hash Pipe by Weezer!!!! I remember my son helping me memorize those lyrics so I could help back up his garage band a couple years ago!!!! Now there's a memory!
I would totally wish to have my mother as close in my life as she was before. I think I could get along with my Dad. . . . but I'm not sure. . . 20 yrs ago, when he died, I didn't have a thing to say to him.
That sounds horrible. . .but hey, everyone has a past right>!@!
Hmmm, what animal would I leave behind? I think Dolphins, simply because they survive very well as marine mammals :D
(yes I can be a smartass sometimes...lol)
By the way, Aloha and enjoy your weekend! Thanks for following my blog, I hadn't seen you around before, you have an interesting blog you know!
My parents are goofballs! They are nice people, I think would definetly be friends with them. haha
I'd leave behind snakes I shiver everytime I see'em!
I do know how to get the skunk smell out for the skunk-a-phobs.
Parents? One of them.
I'd leave camels, they're bad tempered, they spit and smell reeeally bad
I would be friends with my mum, she's lovely.
Do you remember the episode of Twilight Zone *cue scary Rod Serling voice* where you get gobs of money for pushing the red button? The catch is someone, somewhere dies? What if after being stupid and building the ark too small, it is decided that we don't get to pick but the cats and rats get to pick? And they don't pick us? I have my flotation device ready just in case.
As for my parents...all I could think was I'm not sure my kids would pick ME. *sigh* Maybe when they are geezers they will appreciate me.
As for my parents . . . I'd leave my mom behind - oops, I'm mixing up the questions, aren't I?
