THank you @Kiwi2016 for opening the cafe, so nice of you.

1) If You Had The World’s Attention For 30 Seconds, What Would You Say?
I would ask the Muslims to make peace with the Jews.
2) What was your favorite toy growing up?
We rarely got Christmas presents. My parents both worked minimum wage jobs and they had 8 children. It was only when they got a bonus of some sort that we got a present, one present to share between 8 children. I remember one year my dad bought a set of Tinker Toys, we played with that for years. It had a battery operated motor so we could build cars and stuff. My favorite toy though was a pair of little trucks. My parents must have been flush that year; they bought two little trucks for the four boys and something for the four girls, 4 Christmas presents, must have hit the lotto. Years later I began searching for that little truck on eBay and eventually found out it was a Tootsietoy truck. Once I did a search on eBay for "Tootsietoy Truck" I found lots of them. I bought several and have them with me now.

Thanks for opening the cafe @Kiwi2016.

If You Had The World’s Attention For 30 Seconds, What Would You Say?
Maybe I'd saying something that would really confuse everyone for fun lol, or maybe I would raise awareness for an issue I care about.

What was your favorite toy growing up?
Various videogame consoles at different ages.

I'd pick a supermarket, where I can get nearly everything I need. I'm not sure which one.

Hi @Kiwi2016 , i didn’t think it’d take so long to get back and presently there’s a clutter in my mind of things i have to do or might have to do so the thinking space is a little small today, but i do want to give these Qs a try so i’m back and here goes,

1) If You Had The World’s Attention For 30 Seconds, What Would You Say? i’d stutter and stammer for sure and likely not even get a word out. to me that would be putting me on the spot and i’d probably waste my 30 seconds. but in general i do try to say the the same thing in many many words in other settings and hopefully someone will see i did better.

2) What was your favorite toy growing up? i think it was a stuffed Seiff Boxer dog puppet toy. (incidentally @Lane , purchased at FAO Schwars circa 1952) yay!
3) If you could shop for free at one store for the rest of your life, which store would you choose? hmm, maybe i too should go for FAO, but maybe it should be that cheese shop Murry’s or if i could find one, a good fish market for fish suitable for sashimi/sushi.

and i know it is never too late for 🌞🌞🌞 - hope everyone is finding some...

Thank you @JMG I know its late..but wanted to say I appreciate it ^^

1) If You Had The World’s Attention For 30 Seconds, What Would You Say?
--- I'm at a loss for words most days anyways so... I can't think of anything..

2) What was your favorite toy growing up?
--- dry erase board drawing pictures, or coloring.

3) If you could shop for free at one store for the rest of your life, which store would you choose?
--- an art supply store. Because god knows art supplies are expensive. I would become interested in every medium at that point..
