Questions for Callaway

[Bastet]

do you like cats?

[Callaway]

do you like cats?

Yes, I do.  I used to have a part Siamese cat with blue eyes named Crystal who knew how to open the door with her paws.  She also taught her kittens how to do it.

I don't have any cats or dogs now, though.  My husband and daughter have too many allergies.

That's a shame! What sort of music do you like?

[Natalia Evans]

Have you ever owned a Calico cat?

[BruceCM]

Or a Dalmatian?

Is this your ask away thread that you don't have?

Sorry just saw somewhere that you were accused of not having one.

[BruceCM]

Well, it's not in the 'ask away' section? I didn't mean to 'accuse' anybody, but presumably, it is here rather than there for a reason & I'd 'lost' this thread.

[bodie]

but don't you think the title of  'Questions for Callaway' rather implies it is a thread in which to ask Callaway questions.  an ask away thread is also a thread designed to ask Callaway questions.

Aww.
My mum's cat is also part Siamese, he is 15 now. Siamese have always been my favourite cat, though I love all cats. Despite being allergic too, heh.

That's a shame! What sort of music do you like?

I like a lot of music, but what I listen most often to on the radio is an oldies station.

You're correct.  Triste started this thread here to ask me a question.  Some people have suggested that I move it to the Ask Away section, but Triste started it here and I like it here and don't want to move it. 

It is true that I don't like to answer questions that I consider very personal for private reasons of my own, so that's another good reason for it to be here instead of there, IMO.  I wouldn't want anyone to be misled into believing that I would be willing to answer questions that I wouldn't.

Bodaccea wasn't talking about you accusing me of not having an Ask Away thread; she was talking about someone else.

Is this your ask away thread that you don't have?

It's not exactly an Ask Away thread, so I guess that's why Pyraxis said that.  Either that, or she just wanted to score some cheap points against me.

What was the first thing you sewed?

Besides courses in your major, what was your favorite course in college?

[Callaway]

Have you ever owned a Calico cat?

No, I haven't.  I have had tabby cats, mixed breed cats, and one cat that was white with green eyes who was really good at catching things, in addition to Crystal.

[Callaway]

Or a Dalmatian?

No, I have never owned a Dalmation.  My favorite dog ever was a mix between a German Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, but I also had a black peekapoo named Cocoa.

I can't remember whether I sewed the light blue potholder first in seventh grade or the doll's dress I made completely by hand from a floral print.  I made the dress for an old miniature doll and I didn't know how to do a bodice yet, so I made it by wrapping her top with a pink ribbon in an X over her breasts, then over her shoulders, then around her waist.  Believe it or not, it turned out cute.

I very much enjoyed a graduate level mathematics class called analysis where we proved theorems from some very basic axioms.  We were forbidden from looking into books or asking for help.  We had to figure it out ourselves and I was pretty good at it, but I was nothing compared with a twelve year old boy who was taking the class with me.  We were called on in a certain order, with the weakest students called on first so they could have the first chance to shine, and this twelve year old always called on last.
