Newspapers. I've pretty much given up on TV. I prefer You Tube.

Grass grow, it's alive after all.WYR scrub a toilet or clean a barn?
Mod
WYR scrub a toilet or clean a barn?"
Scrub a toilet as i have never cleaned a barn but i think that would be like cleaning one giant toilet bowl.
wyr run an office with 10 adults or a small day care with 5 children?
I WR go for the latter - with one qualification though: I don't have to deal with the parents.WYR read The Atlantic or Scientific American?
Scientific AmericanWYR go apple picking or on a hay ride?
Ham in October, turkey in November.Sauerkraut or pickles?
Pickles!Candy Apple or Caramel Apple?
Uh-oh.. I would never know the difference.. so I will go with the more familiar (to me)name - Caramel Apple!WYR be married to a poet or a philosopher?
PhilosopherWYR read short stories or comic books?
Short stories! (at times I feel it's my favorite genre)WYR take as a job for a day
rubbing apples with vodka or unpacking boxes of cookies?
Packing cookies (while drinking the vodka!!)WYR time travel to the construction of stone henge or to the building of the pyramids?
Pyramids! It's a greater wonder! WYR: only read books of the same genre for the rest of your life or only read books written after 1985 for the rest of your life?
This is a tough one. I assume only fiction books are implied in the question. I'd rather go with the genre. Do I get to define the genre? If I define it Philosophical Fiction, then it becomes very broad and I like it:).Are you more productive to read on a train or on a beach?
Snow day!! Big fire, mug of hot chocolate, good book = heaven.WYR science fiction of science fantasy?
Science Fantasy. Seems broader.Which type of Hell would you consider more tolerable
Other people
or
Loneliness ?
Scares all the way. But not necessarily traditional scares. WYR live in the prehistoric past or the apocalyptic future?
The prehistoric past.I'm curious, but not that curious.
WYR be what you are or be what you wish?
To move to new places at least once a year would be a dream of a poet. My ideal too. Only in reality, I wish money weren't an issue for such a life style..A labor camp. You're in for three months.
WYR be felling trees for ten hours a day six days a week or cook for a hundred of your fellow prisoners three meals a day every day?

Tree feller. At least I'd get to work outdoors. Couldn't bear to do slaving over a hot stove day after day. Think the other inmates would agree after they tasted my cooking!
WYR be a planet or a star?
A planet.Hey, with some luck I could give birth to life some day!
At least I would have some interesting (molecular!) structures here and there. As for a star, forget molecules, in its core there are not even real atoms! Just nuclei and electrons bouncing around separated! Very primitive.
OK. Maybe I am not very bright and jealous.
WYR sleep most of the time without any dreams (at least not remember them) or have a 50/50 chance of a good dream or a nightmare every night?

That's a tough one. Thinking............
While Margo thinking I'll give my answer:)And it is the ability of developing a new talent.
Something's telling me that if I go back to a younger age, I'll most likely retrace my old steps. It might create even more frustration. But to develop a new talent - that's a gift (in the sense that you can't produce it out of yourself), and I'll take it.
WYR spend a day in the eye of an eagle or on the back of a bee?

I like your reasoning Bigollo! Sorry, started thinking n then got bizzy with other stuff.
It would have to be the eye of the eagle. Much better veiw from those heights. Might have some control over what direction the flight takes as opposed to just being a passanger. Also I get terrible hayfever!
WYR win the nobel prize or save someone from drowning?
Oh! If I saved someone from drowning, I would be proud for the rest of my life. (Of course, deep inside, I am plain vain and would be even more proud if the person I saved eventually won the noble prize:) )You are about to start learning your first foreign language for no particular practical reason.
WYR pick a language closest to your mother tongue or a linguistically distant language?
Distant languageWYR work at a cheese shop or a vineyard?
Both places sound nice to work at. I'd choose a vineyard to be more outdoor. They say where there are vineyards there is the best climate on Earth:).slapstick or pun?
Mod
I Love Lucy or The Honeymooners?
The HoneymoonersI've found as I've grown older than I don't appreciate Lucy's high jinks.
sugar skulls or pan de muertos?
Pan de muertos. (I like bread)Which mind distorts the reality more: The mind somewhat cheerful or the mind slightly depressed?
I'd say depressed.WYR be stuck on a desert island with access to a book in a language you can't read or a book written in your native language locked in a rusted box?
Far north. A painfully slow change is better than deadly no change at all. As for cold, there is always warm clothes. As for dark, there is electric light.You are sentenced to listening to same type of music for eight hrs non-stop (you did smthng really nasty).
Would it be Metallica or big band?
Cook full meals for a month
Eat all the time, but skinny and always hungry, or never eat but be fat and always full?
Eat all the time, but skinny and always hungry, or never eat but be fat and always full?
I'd go for the latter. Saves time, money. Reduces suffering (no hunger). As for the fat, deep inside, I'm sure, I'll find a way to trick the fate and burn the fat.WYR slightly extend your vision spectrum into the ultraviolet zone or infrared one?
I would love to have my partner cook breakfast for me. Provided she were happy about that, of course:). If I had one:(.So far, every morning, I hectically stuff my mouth with one hand and my work bag with another.
Do you believe in love at first sight (and you're certain that it happens all the time)?
or
do you believe love requires one's choice, active engagement, and time among other things?
Chocolates!!! Would you rather be the richest person in the world or the most famous person in the world?
Richest person.I don't even want to be famous
