Intruder here. Great cooking.
What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
A challenging life that you can be proud of, yet stress-free.
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Not sure about the planet, but probably try and be empathetic to other people. Understand the circumstances that affect people.
Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
It's a solid split, I'd say. Oftentimes, I'll get the internet's help. Otherwise, it'd be the latter
What’s the perfect day for you?
Productive and exciting. Lots of places to go, lots of things accomplished. Fun.
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
That's difficult, very much so. Perhaps, the early 2000's to experience the history or context of many things that are happening in the present. It'd give a fuller context.
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
A keep-sake to remember home (e.g. picture(s) of family members), collection of fantasy books, and notebook.
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
I'm a lazy individual. Low maintenence Probably cats. Their so innocent looking and a good friend to cuddle with.
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
Guitar, as it's an instrument that many people I know in my family play. It'd be easier to learn to play.

Ty for the tag @britishbloke & for opening the cafe today, cool q's too 
Here's my answers.
What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
Similar to what other people said, just minimal stress, worry, anxiety, where I feel peaceful & content and where I can just relax and not be stressed or worried about anything at all. Also being a multi-millionaire, living in a really big high rise (at least 10 stories up or higher would be cool imo) near the beach, being very perfect looking model & adored, worshipped and admired by at least all (or most anyway) men would all be really awesome too & definitely add greatly to both my happiness and enjoyment of life. Oh and also being married to Mark Hamill of course lol
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Do no intentional harm to anyone or anything as much as possible.
Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
A bit of both.
What’s the perfect day for you?
Having eggs benedict for breakfast, being able to talk to my uncle again, then both of us being able to get on a plane & go to California to meet Mark Hamill and where we'd hang out all day (and all the days after that too for that matter! Lol) and we would all have a synergetic convo about life and all kinds of cool/interesting/intense kinds of things it would be very great for sure
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
1960 cos then I woulda been 17 in 1977 which would have been a perfect age for when SW came out (if I'd also been perfect looking & could have met Mark Hamill & he fell in love with me at first sight that is lol)
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
Wow eliminating the electronic things really sucks the fun outta this one lol jk but hmm I guess my pillow, a blanket and a bag with all my other "necessities" in it (sorry if this is considered cheating but omg so hard to pick only literally "3" things lol)
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
Cat cos I think they are cuter, they smell better, I love all the adorable cute sweet lil sounds they make and I just feel a much stronger bond and connection with them. Dogs are great too though (from a distance, lol jk they're fine but they do sometimes smell rather horrible just sayin lol) :p
What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Dunno can't think of something specific sorry but I do know I've had a lot of them & I hate them all a lot cos I do not like to be embarrassed but I know no one does lol.
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
Piano cos it's always been the instrument I've been the most drawn to. Whenever I see one I just want to sit down and play a song or try to think of my own. I don't know how to play it properly (not with knowing how to read notes and even what the notes are overall) I just play it by ear but it's fun I enjoy them a lot & have since I was a kid

What is your definition of a “perfect life”? answered / see above.
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet? overthrow tyrants? or can the tyrants be persuaded to be human? if so, i hope they start persuading.
Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself? i ask for advice and listen but end up going with my own research, or intuition, or gut feelings or spiritualism and go my own way.
What’s the perfect day for you? can’t tell you now, but i’ll know it when i see it.
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why? i lately have been fearing that we have already utilized all our allotment of “eras”. i’m not too keen on any of the past ones but in the hopes of more eras to come in spite of my fears, then there’s got to be a good one coming and that one would be mine! it would be a time when human beings start to become nonselfish on a large scale basis; when they begin to resolve issues with talk and enlightenment rather than fear, hatred and the like; a time when people who are scornfull of idealistic people as being naive, begin to try out those ideals instead and discover that they work and serve everyone rather than just a few.
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you? we are talking about a time when i’m in my prime as if that could still be and not now - right? stranded that way now, i don’t think i could do it. these days, i’d need things like access to CVS.com and teledoc. and that just by itself requires more than 3 things. and it also seems to undermine your premise of the nonelectronic.... etc. and also, i wonder, would a spirit or a person be considered an item? they’d be my choices for 2 - or does “deserted” mean just me alone? well, sorry for all these wondered about constraints. i’d need the spirt and i’d need the person and one more thing. but the result would be automatic bliss. it is automatic, so is this an acceptable answer? hoping...
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why? the dog part of me is a dog person and the cat part of me is a cat person but not 100% for either. part of the dog person is a cat person and part of the cat person is a dog person and i’d love to have both cat and dog that are mutually accepting because i know that some are.
What was your biggest “facepalm” moment? it’s still coming. i can feel it. days, weeks, months??? idk but its coming... yikes.
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play? several weeks ago - like maybe 113 weeks ago in a Jim’s Café we were asked to make some statements about ourselves - one being truth and one being a lie. i do not know what my truth was but i do remember the lie. - but first let me just say that when i was young i studied piano and then violin. my mother who played piano also did the teaching and fairly quickly gave up on a student such as myself. just too difficult. so she and my father believing music and knowing an instrument are essential parts of life and having another in family teacher, had my grandfather teach me the violin. he was a tyrant and thus could be cruel as needed to make sure i would learn whether i liked it or not. needless to say i hated him and practicing and lessons. strangely i still love violin music. maybe that is because in spite of everything, the music that comes out of that instrument is beauty. - just the same, if i was in a band i would not want to be the violinist. but in the above mentioned café the lie i said was that i was the drummer in a - i think - 90s band. well i don’t know if i’d actually want to be that or not, but why not? it might be fun. so for here now, the answer is drummer but i’d have to be lead vocals too and be just a touch more weird than i already am.
i hope everyone is having fun today and or in the near future too. 😊

I'll make you a coffee since you put out such a delicious spread for us.
What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
Nothing is perfect, I'd say that being satisfied with your life and living it the way you want to is close enough.
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
To stop trashing it.
Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
A little bit of both. Sometimes I need advice but reject it if I can't apply it.
What’s the perfect day for you?
Really anytime spent with friends and family.
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
Probably the 60's, that would be good for my hippie-ish ass. I hugged a tree once, it was nice. lol
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
Pocket knife, water purifier, and matches.
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
I can't choose because I like both.
What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Pretty much most of the things I do. But I guess ripping my pants on a ride is up there.
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
I would like to learn to play guitar, also drums, keyboard, and harpischord. I almost learned flute in middle school so maybe that too.

What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
I don't know. I have mostly downs and ups from time to time.
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?
Use common sense in how they behave.
Do you listen to other people’s advice, or do you prefer figuring things out yourself?
I listen to others. I like the saying a smart person learns from his mistake, a wise person learns from another's mistakes.
What’s the perfect day for you?
Being able to sleep in and no responsibilities other than to myself.
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
I want to live when Dr. Brown lived, I could take the DeLorean to whenever I want to. The same goes for Peabody and Sherman. Sometime in the future. I can learn about the past.
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
The Professor from Gilligan's Island, he never got them off the island but could build everything they seemed to need. Serious answer: trotline for fishing, magnesium firestarter, entrenching tool since the better ones can be used as a shovel for digging for fresh water, axe for building shelter from trees and knife but a cumbersome knife. I have all three here.
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
Both, but I recently got a cat but animals of all kinds are cool and fun.
What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
Too many to pick out one in particular.
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
Banjo, so folks could say "boy you have too many teeth to be playing a banjo.".

What is your definition of a “perfect life”?
living without fear and uncertainty.
equal opportunity's for all, being able to trust again
What is the single most important thing people should do for the planet?

I listen, but most of the time I want to figure it out myself
What’s the perfect day for you?
The absence of any stress
If you were born in another era, when would that period in history be and why?
The 60's because as i understand it, the 60's 70's and 80's
we had a lot of GREAT rock n roll artists, old time rock n roll
If you were stranded on a deserted island, what three items that are not electronic or automatic would you take with you?
1. a fish hook 2. fishing line 3. box of plastic sandwich bags
1 and 2 are self explanatory, the reason for number 3 is: how i can start a fire with just
a baggie with water, take baggie add water and start twisting it until it's pretty tight
now you get some dry weeds/grass, dry twigs. now build a small pile of your material
now you use the twisted up baggie with water in it. you hold it over the material
and use the baggie as you would use a magnifying glass, take the water baggie
using the sun pointed on your material and you'll make fire out of water.
Are you a cat or a dog person, and why?
I'm a dog person, dogs are loyal and will come when called, cats
on the other hand will just sit there and look at you like your stupid
What was your biggest “facepalm” moment?
it was one night, i met a friend at a bar, he was outside smoking a cigarette
so i walked up to him and engaged in small chat, i pulled out a home
made cigarette :P about halve way thru it someone that knew my friend
walked up and joined us, so me being the nice guy that i am, i offered him
some...lol he looked at my friend, he looked down at the cigarette, looked
at me, and without a word he turned and proceeded to walk into the bar,
so i'm totally confused, my friend said don't worry about it, he's a cop in
this town.
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?
I have always wanted to learn the drums
