Love the Friday Five! Great job, Karen! I knew you all were creative... Who will be next to do the Friday Five? Maybe we should go around the list by what...Screen Name, actual First Name? Hmm...looks like that would bring ME and all the other Deb's to the front of the list LOL!!!

deglutition: Gulp, it means to swallow! It just so happens that I know a little medical terminology. ;-D

It is evening – you put on your pj’s and are unwinding from a long and busy day – the television is on, you grab a book / magazine and plop down on the sofa. What do you have on your feet? NOTHING - barefoot!

Quick, you just pulled into the grocery store parking lot and you literally have 10 minutes to get in and out. Grab a shopping basket and select just ONE item from each category below:

Bread – white, whole wheat, multi grain, oat nut berry: OAT NUT BERRY
Peanut butter – creamy or chunky: NONE
Snack – rice cakes, granola bars, 100 calorie pack cookies: COOKIES fully calorie loaded
Milk – 2%, 1%, Skim, Soy: SOY
Fruit – apples, bananas, grapes, oranges: APPLES
Vegetable – carrots, corn on the cob, lettuce, sweet potato: LETTUCE

Anyone who lives in a place of real weather conditions: hurricanes, snow/ice storms, etc has probably at one time or another experienced the 10-min grocery store hustle! LOL!

Which United States President can you first recall? DICK CHENEY...I MEAN, BUSH

What color is the purse you are using today? PINK Do you change your purse to match your outfit? CHANGE WITH SEASON BUT ALSO USE A BLACK PURSE FOR EVENING/SPECIAL Do you plan to purchase a new purse for summer? YES!

Fitness knowledge - True / False

A. Sit-ups can help you lose fat from the midsection of your body. F

B. Increasing daily activities (such as climbing more stairs and walking farther from parking places) does not help people lose weight. F

C. Exercise can increase appetite. T but usually temporarily then it actually decreases...

D. It is impossible to maintain the same level of cardiovascular fitness in your sixties that you had when you were in your twenties. GREAT QUESTION and can only guess...T I THINK PEOPLE 60+ CAN BE IN TERRIFIC SHAPE BUT NOT SURE THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPETE AGAINST A 20 YEAR OLD WHO IS IN THEIR PRIME OF HEALTH/FITNESS.

Well, here it is! I knew I did this earlier today and thought maybe I'd lost it (as well as my mind) too.
