(Dave and I made up these questions for our potluck group and enjoyed hearing everyone's answers. The last one...there was a lizard in an Applebee's salad in Bloomington this winter, and having a fender bender on Veteran's is a daily occurrence.)

Well, some of the questions are hard (16 or 60?) but I can answer the deaf or wheelchair one easily. I'd rather be in a wheelchair. I've taught some deaf kids over the years and know how difficult communication can be for them. It would be hard to be in a wheelchair but at least you would not have some of the difficulty of functioning in society that deaf people can have.
FROM CLEVE:
Have a foot massage or an ice cream cone? ICE CREAM CONE, REGARDLESS OF MY DIABETES TYPE II
Give up indoor plumbing or give up your car? INDOOR PLUMBING. NO PROBLEM
Spend 8 hours hiking in the woods, or 8 hours in a shopping mall? HIKING
Be 16 or 60? 16!!!!
Be totally deaf,or full-time in a wheelchair? IN A WHEELCHAIR, AS LONG AS ICE CREAM IS AVAILABLE.
Go to Israel or Hawaii? ISRAEL - ALWAYS WANTED TO GO. CRYSTAL IS THERE AT THIS VERY MOMENT AND I'M ANXIOUS TO HEAR ABOUT HER TRIP.
Wear shoes too tight or go a day without your glasses or contacts? DON'T WEAR ANY EYE-AIDS.
Take a walk in the rain or swim in a lake? WALK IN THE RAIN
Be 4'1" or 7'9"? 4'1" (NOT NEARLY AS FREAKISH AS 7'9" !!)
Run a mile or sit in a folding chair for 2 hours? RUN A MILE, BUT NOT A MARATHON!
Find a lizard in your salad or have a fender bender on Veteran's Parkway? FENDER BENDER.
* Yummy peppermint ice cream cone.
* I'll give up my car and make Jerry drive me around in his truck.
* Definitely - 8 hours in the mall.
* 16 or 60? hmmm, both bad choices but I'll say 60. (45 might be about right.)
* wheelchair
* Hawaii - I've always wanted to go to a luau, wear a flower in my hair,and do the limbo!
* wear shoes too tight - I couldn't find my way out the front door without my glasses.
* walk in the rain - or better yet, a light snowfall
* 4'1"
* Sit in folding chair
* lizard in salad - then I could sue and get rich!

Foot massage but it would have to last longer than an ice cream cone.
Give up my car.
Probably hiking, but this one would take some thought.
In a wheelchair.
Hawaii
No contacts/glasses, and I do wear contacts. I'm sure I'd have a pretty bad headache by mid-day though.
Swim in a lake.
The height is another hard one, but probably 4'1"
Run a mile
Fender bender--I probably wouldn't have nightmares about that for years to come.
