Good morning @Champagne. Thank you for getting the day started here at the cafe. You are a real doll for doing this IMO, as often as you do. I hope you get your smoothie. Post pic please 😊
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
I always go way back. 2nd grade. She was ahead of her time and used song and was happy. She had these bright cards that would give us instructions. Even my mother liked her which was a shocker!
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
Doing something great. I was looking last night at volunteering as a docent on the weekends. I think I'm bored now without my 2nd job that wasnt healthy for me anyway.
Who are the 3 greatest living musicians?
-Always bad at naming people, but I like ballad rock, electric guitar players, there are people that can hit the ranges with all the notes. I need to listen to more music.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
-Hard question to narrow down. To not be stressed by doing more art work.

Thanks for opening @Champagne and for the tag @JMG
Love the smoothies....keep meaning to treat myself to buying one of those gimos to make them...
So to the questions
Tell me the 3 best things about you.
Loyalty, empathy, non-judgemental
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
Art history professor in college who was rather theatrical, wore a cape, was fair but demanding of his students to strive for their best, and who had a true passion for art history that he shared and inspired his students with
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
I guess a genius who used my talents to do something that was truly transformative for as many living things (people, animals, nature) as possible...
Who are the 3 greatest living musicians?
Elton John, Annie Lennox, James Taylor
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
To be more self-assertive in honestly expressing my thoughts, feelings, desires
Wishing all a great Thursday...

hmm...I'm empathetic, non-judgmental, smart
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
One of my first year profs in the MSW program because she let me come back the 2nd year and do a full-class presentation
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
Genius - attractive feels unimportant, and "doing something great" would be temporary
Who are the 3 greatest living musicians?
This is hard - after Bruce Springsteen it gets really challenging (especially since I listen to so many who are not alive anymore!). I guess Stacy Kent and Karen Allyson
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
I wish I ate better (MUCH better)

Oh my goodness that second smoothie looks sublime! I love raspberry, despite the seeds.
Hmm... Honest, genuine, playful
I called him Smitty. He knew my home life was shit and tried to offer me compassion without tolerating my bullshit. He was my 7th grade math teacher, then became a principal at the high school the year I started. He was very understanding and avoided calling my parents when he could, using our relationship to try to get me to act right based on my respect for him. He was like a father to me. If I'd had my way, my oldest son would have Smitty's first name, Lawrence, as his middle name.
Genius, hands down. So many of my problems are caused by my scattered thoughts, if I could just be structured and superbly able to solve my own problems/fend for myself I would be delighted.
As far as the power of their lyrics and the impact they've had on my life, Scott Sturgeon and Ezra Kire. Also Howard Shore. Who Doesn't know his music? It's so many things often emotional, compelling and magical!
No more mental illness!!!

Hi guys. Just popped in to say hi and hope you’ve all had a good day. Really tough questions today. Not sure I’m able to answer most of them. The last question is relevant to a discussion I had with my therapist today. We discussed that in order for me to get better I need to make a change. I need to change how I see myself.
I am invisible, unimportant, worthless and undeserving, bottom of the heap, the least important. I’ve felt like this for as long as I can remember, perhaps 45+ years. Somehow I need to change how I see myself, any advice as to how I can make this change would be helpful because I haven’t got a clue where to start.

Tell me the 3 best things about you. Directness and honesty, sometimes brutally so. Loyalty to the few I trust and care about. Intuitiveness about human nature, I have a built in bullshit detector.
Who was your favorite teacher? Why? I have trouble remembering back that far. LOL
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great? Already done something great which is one of the things I am proud of in my life. There is now a now grown up(to her)8 year old little one who would have probably drown except I learned all the CPR techniques years ago so she is now a happy little girl growing up.
Who are the 3 greatest living musicians? Only 3? That is tough, but being somewhat a guitarist I would say: Jimmy Page, Tommy Iommi(Black Sabbath), Angus and Malcolm Young, I count them as one, David Gilmour and Dickie Betts(Allman Brothers Band), my favorite guitarists from some of my favorite bands.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be? To be able to care about life and the world about me.

Tell me the 3 best things about you.
I have long hair.
I like metal music.
I love (all) my friends more than anything.
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
One of my advanced science teachers (4th grade, around 15yo). She was excellent... Very demanding, but the way she taught was pure bliss (she was very funny too), everyone liked going to her course because we knew we'd have a great time and really learn things, and it was impossible not to respect her as a teacher. What really made the difference for me personally was one day when I was in a very bad place and apparently it showed on my face, she came to me and asked if she could help. I think it made me cry on the spot, lol.
She also trusted me with something on a school trip, which was very nice. And well, although her exams were not easy at all, I kinda wanted to make her proud, to show that her teaching methods were brilliant, by making no mistakes on them, so that was cool. ^^
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
A genius. I wouldn't mind doing something great with it either, but being famous is no need of mine at all, it actually seems pretty annoying to me.
Who are the 3 greatest living musicians?
Alright, there are obviously a lot, so I'll choose "complete" musicians, as in composers & lyricists & multi-instrumentalists that I believe will make history in the music industry... Tuomas Holopainen* and Marko Hietala*. Yep, they happen to play in the same band, but if I could write an essay on them to explain why I believe that they are part of the greatest (and smartest), I would. Those who know them will get it. :p
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Be smarter... Or add a few cm to my height.

She's physically beautiful too and very lovely. 
Tell me the 3 best things about you.
I care about others; love to laugh - have been told I’ve got a good sense of humour; I usually work well with words
Who was your favorite teacher? Why?
A couple of English teachers in high school; a professor or two at University - mostly because they were all enthusiastic about their subject and they were good, kind people. I’ve also had a doctor who was a great teacher - perhaps the best - for his extensive knowledge about everything, his understanding, his insight, and the way he challenged me to grow. And then there are friends who teach us things and challenge us and make us better...
Which would you pick: being world-class attractive, a genius or famous for doing something great?
If I were a genius, looks wouldn’t matter and I could do something great for the world/other people. Genius it is!
Who are the 3 greatest living musicians?
Yo-Yo Ma; baroque orchestra called Tafelmusik; and Josh Groban because he has a great voice and he’s gosh-darned cute.
If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
Well, other than the general “taller, thinner, prettier, smarter” I’m not sure because I think people are always works in progress and we learn, change, and adapt as much as we can as we go.
