I'm amazed how many people would turn it in. Impressed. I would feel guilty, but would keep it by rationalizing that the money didn't have anyones name on it and they would never find them. I guess I'd ask at the desk if anyone was missing any money and if they said 'yes' turn it in(was that a run-on sentance?). Otherwise, Beast Man is getting a flat screen monitor.:evilgrin:

33. OK.
1. Guinea pig-- her name was Shimmy.

2. Depends on who you ask, I suppose. Probably my short temper.

3. Theater.

4. Night person!

5. Don't worry- I didn't take pictures and I'm not going to give them to every major news outlet. Or maybe I am.

6. Bring it to the service counter and turn it in.

7. Dancing, thinking up crafts to do with or tricks to play on my kids.

8. I don't have a favorite. Sorry. I like Napoleon Dynamite for a laugh, Pulp Fiction for the soundtrack, Labyrinth for David Bowie. I could go on, but I'll spare you.

9. My "Autograph" book. When I was a little girl, I was afraid of dying and having to leave everyone I love, so I made them all sign this book that I could be buried with, so I'd having something from everyone to take with me.

10. Favorite "location" or favorite aspect of the community? The Lounge would be the former, the high incidence of intelligent, quirky, and funny occupants would constitute the latter.

42. okay.
1) A Guinea Pig, called "pig." (very creative, I know).

2) Clutter. I hate putting things away.

3) debate

4) night person

5) Seven words in various phrases.

6) I'd turn it into the police and also notify the store. I wouldn't just keep it, but I think that a person that finds it has a better claim to it than anyone else. If not claimed, I'd probably donate it.

7) Pottery, travel, useless television.

8) Pride & Prejudice.

9) I keep everything. Maybe sketches of people that have died.

10)The Lounge, especially the jokers.
