Music question is to hard for me as I generally like an lot of music and different styles.....my favorite retreat is Mount Hood RV resort in one of the bigger rental units there with an private jucuzzi tub and huge huge wrap around deck on it, over looking the river..but alas, I think it's going $300 an night now, an bit pricey these days....my favorite meal, hard to find these days, but we use to buy what was called "Tips and Tails" on an scewer...which was beef tips and lobster tails, served with melted butter and au jus sauce and came on an bit of rice pilaf, with an green salad served separately/fresh made rolls  and an baked potato, sour cream and chives  and an few roasted "root"  veggies, and nice glass of wine...and if you wanted desert, you could get your cherries jubile...or "flaming in fire" cherries over ice cream. Part of this was the setting also, which was the restruant was made to look like an huge inside ship...and it looked out over the Columbia River...and was just wonderful as the sun set in the summer evenings. they used glass and tiny white christmas lights randomly to sparkle up the ropes and the rafters an bit...in certain areas. At an certain time each night they lessened down the lights and lit "table lights" also. It's been many an year and different owners but the whole thing, along with the atmosphere was about $20 each person...complete. Restruant was called "Inn at the Quay"..and was part of an larger Red Lion Hotel/Motel complex...hung out over the Columbia River in part at the warf.  Since then have sold it though. No longer offer this meal. 

 Favorite piece of clothing, probably some PJ's in the newer style in silk..loungy....I'm not much of an clothes freak these day like I was when I was younger...but back then I use to like those flowing to the ankle type Hawaiian or linen dresses..where the bottom was wide-leg pants, looked like an skirt effect...and in cotton for summer, and simple colors like deep random red (orchids) flowers on white...then you could wear the small skippy red sandals to look feminine also.Back then I use to wear my hari up in an "French Roll" and had it done at an beatuy shop twice weekly. Top to thsi looking "dress"  was most the time was sleeveless, sometimes with an matching jacket...low V-neck in front so you had to have an decent bust-line gals to look "sexy" in them...use to spend the early summers getting an really good tan to go with the outift..laughs* Yes, I wore an size ladies "10" back then also...yes, I was an "blonde" back then also.

I dislike pets doing two things in my house..."Messing" on the floor and in the case of the cats...walking across my table and certain pieces of furniture....I don't generally permit either act...they know when they are in "trouble"...I holler "down" and thier name as I brushed them off...ro replace them elsewhere.

Occupation, well if I had the money, investing it in different ventures. Though I think the one I have now, though not paid for it.. is making do without spending much money... and it sure takes up an lot of my time. Got any ideas for me?

Three people I'd invite for dinner...hum..that's an hard one also....I would think someone that is vastlly fairly educated and well learned, someone that traveles, likes history and building and someone with new "innovative" but practical ideas. All three would need an light witty sense of humor, and kind disposition, and bit of an animal lover, and not be an phoney person. (OK..bag of wind) ..smiles* I took an on-line dating test many years ago...in my late 40's... then of the three guys all of them were college educated "plus", most of them 10 years older then me, two were international businessmen, and one was an computer specialist designer/professor. I decided that they were the type that would want an young pretty...not yet 30 year old hanging off their arms, like in the movies...rather then me most likely...and let it all go. So goes...such is the fate of women.

What's your favorite gem stone? Why?
