Katie asked...
Ok here is a stinker: Do you like me or Beyonka better?
Oh, KT. Way to put a girl on the spot! I like both of you in different ways, for different reasons. I think that you and I both can say that Bianca and I are a lot closer than you and I are right now, and that Bianca is like a sister to me! But I am hesitant to say whether I "enjoy the company" of one of you over the other – I like you both! Very much! Geez. I hope my children never ask me this question.

Ha Ha you have to answer truthfully.
I did! I'm just giving you a hard time.

I will ponder what tidbits of information I want to pump from you and post my qs later.
Your time was limited. You must now forever hold your peace.

Watts family asked...
You said "children". How many do you plan to have?
Roger and I would love to have twins. MAYBE triplets. So, I guess we'd like to have 2-3 kids. And one or two dogs. See how indecisive flexible we are?

eddo asked...
Oh. My. Word. THE OD just posted so many questions that I fear I cannot even start to ask you more in fear that you will be questioned out.
Oh. My. Word. Did you really check my site at 6:50am?

Did you have that fear when you wrote this post?
Yes. I feared that no one would post any questions.

What if just 1/3rd of the internet asked you 1 question? How many questions would that be?
Billions, give or take a few hundred millions.

Do you like to gamble? How bout gambling with your life?
I like to put coins in the slot machines and pull the handle. However, I do like to live. I believe that alone disqualifies me from liking to gamble with my life.

What is your favorite blog site based on overall hilarity (OTHER THAN MINE!!)?
Dooce. She's so dramatic. Though I frequently disagree with her opinions on certain issues, I still think she's witty and tells a great story.

Have a great weekend Jes, I am off to Shreveport!
This I cannot answer. It's not a question.

Ben asked...
Wow. OD OD'd on the questions. But here are a couple from your second favorite male blogger (I don't have to ask that question OD... I already know my place in the food chain).
(Jessica laughs)

What's more attractive, looks or bringing the funny?
These are two different types of attraction. One is to the flesh, the other is to the heart. Both are important. Though I am always the first to say that physical attraction is the first thing that catches my eye about someone (I mean, hello!?! Let's not kid ourselves: I want to be physically attracted to my spouse. Period.), I think that conversational attraction (includes humor) is also SO important. So, even though physical attraction is my initial answer, conversational is my answer for the long-run. The person you marry WILL NOT always look as good as he or she does now, fact of life. But hopefully, you'll both grow together and only get better in the conversational/humor department.

Follow up question: If you said, "bringing the funny" What would you do if you married an extremely hilarious ugly guy, but as soon as you married him... he refused to be funny anymore?
This isn't possible. Someone can't just stop being funny. If it is possible, I would be forced to find SOMETHING about him funny. I wouldn't be able to NOT laugh. This is required.

If your job was to clean the marshmallow making machine every night for the rest of your life(a marshmallow machine cleaning specialist if you will)... Would you still love marshmallows?
No, because I would be an overgrown tub of fat rolls, waddling my way into the delivery bay of JetPuffs, never up for a promotion because I wouldn't be able to fit through any regular doorways.

If you had a choice between living your life with Roger or living with Roger and 20 Roger clones for say a thousand years; would you be tempted or is too much Roger a bad thing?
Too much Roger is NEVER a bad thing. This world could use more of men like him. When we started dating, and even more so since we've been married, I keep finding myself thinking, "Why in the WORLD was he not already taken?!?" And then I say, "Oh, yeah. Because God reserved him for me!!! Thank you, Lord!" (Yes, I really say that.)

Follow up question: When Roger asks you to do something do you ever reply: "Roger Doger"?
No, I don't say Roger Doger. Sometimes, I do call to him by sing-songing, "Roger the Dodger…" but I don't reply to him as you suggested. I reply to him in other endearing terms, such as "Sweetie Pie."

Michelle asked...
Holy cow!Did you ever think you would get that many one word answer questions or were you thinking they would be of a more intuitive type?
Michelle, I am compelled to inform you: my answers are rarely one-worded. That's because I like to talk about myself. Why else would I have a blog?

Were you secretly hoping that people like me that don't usually comment would do so now?
Oh, yes. I see all the random people that I don't know who visit my site (like in Arkansas, and Virginia, and California), and I always wish they'll come out from hiding and say hello to me. Hello, Random People! :)

Would you be offended if I stopped reading your blog altogether if I didn't like the answers to these questions?
Nope, that's your prerogative. However, could you REALLY do that? Don’t you find me positively addicting? I do, but I'm biased.

Can you promise to always keep us laughing like you do now, even when we're older and have multiple children?
That's a pretty big commitment for me. However, assuming that I'll have children then, and subsequently more material to post, perhaps it will be possible to keep you laughing.

Amanda Sue asked...
sheesh. someone is a question hog.
Who is the question hog? Me, for wanting all the questions? Or OD, for asking so many?

i'll just get some good ones saved up to ask you TUESDAY NIGHT AT DINNER!!! HOORAY!
Hey. I'm not sure you asked me lots of questions. did you? It's okay though, because I loved seeing you! Even if you WERE afraid of the vermicelli noodles! ;)

bianca asked...
ben- you rock my face off!!! You are so funny!
You rock my face off?!? Is this a Denton phrase? Because I've heard someone else say this to me, and I didn't quite understand how I "rocked" someone's "face off". Please explain, as this phrase has not yet made its way to Dallas. Understandably.

Od- yikes- jes is my best friend and i don't know half the answers to those questions...and i wouldn't want to!!!!"A" for effort though!
Bianca! You don't know the answers to these questions?!? Hmph!

SquareSlant asked...
1. What is the stupidest thing that you and Roger have fought about?
Oh, there have been so many stupid fights. Like when he asked me what my thoughts were on dinner, and I got angry at him. Or, when he went running and I didn't know where he went, so I got upset then, too. Part of me is curious whether I was actually upset, or just needed to be on medication.

2. Do you plan on working after the bambinos are born?
Roger and I would love for me to have the privilege of staying home with them! Both of our moms were able to stay home with us, and we both feel that it is SO IMPORTANT to the development of the child. Some people, whose parents didn't stay home, don't quite understand our perspective, but we believe in it strongly.

3. When you get mad do you use curse words?
Sometimes. It's actually something that I've been trying not stop doing.

girl from florida asked...
OD totally stole the show. Here's my 2 questions: What do you do when your rear crack itches in public?
Ha! GFF, are you saying that you have a problem with this and are soliciting advice from others? ;) If so, I try to squeeze my cheeks together really tightly until the itch goes away. Of course, I also squeeze them when I'm trying to make my butt look smaller, but unfortunately it really doesn't make that much of a visual difference. It just gives me cramped muscles.

How many times do you think you look in a mirror each day?
I spend the first hour-ish of my day looking in the mirror. Sometimes I pose and smile at myself and talk to myself in the mirror, just so I know what I look like when I'm doing those things. But once I leave for work, I generally only see my reflection when I'm in the ladies room. Other than that, I'm pretty clueless about my appearance.

Katie asked...
ROGER DODGER - Oh my word how have I not thought of that before. Ok Jess that will be my response to roger from now on.
KT, you said you would post with questions later. However, this was not a question. I just wanted to point that out to you. Also, since when did Jes become "Jess"??? It's like the "E" KT. Get. It. Right.

od asked...
"For the next few days, I will unbegrudgingly accept your questions, however many thousands."I just got this thing kick started, there's plenty of room left to max out her thousands limit. :)
Thank you, OD, for thoroughly reading my post instead of just glancing through it like some people I know, Ben*.
* Real names have been changed to protect the innocent.

Watts family asked...
You haven't started answering these questions yet?
I didn't start answering the questions because I was out of town. The questions were to be answered within 24 hours of the closing of the polls, not the posting of the question.

Are you overwhelmed by the response?
Not at all! I love it!!

Melinda asked...
Okay Jes...here I go:1. What is your favorite color? (prolly already asked...but I lost focus after reading 3 of Od's questions (no offense Od, I'm just having focusing issues)
I love hot pink and deep red.

2. If you were change any event in your life...would you do it? And what would it be?
No, I wouldn't change anything. My history has formed me into the woman I am today. Sometimes I wish that I could change things, but then I remember that God has given me my story for a purpose. I know that he'll use it to glorify himself. If I didn't have the story I do, I wouldn't be able to relate to some of the people that I relate so well with. And then, I would be missing out on so much in my life! :)

3. If you could make up any job for you to do and get paid for what would it be and how much would you pay yourself.
I'd travel. I'd get paid to go to anywhere I wanted to, for however long, and to bring my entire family. I would either write an article or film a brief infomercial highlighting each location. I would home school my kids, and would be paid enough to support our family's lifestyle. Therefore, I would pay myself millions of dollars, so that we could do fun things while traveling, and fly friends and family to join us, and eat at incredible restaurants, and still have money left over to save for our children's college educations, or to donate wherever we wanted, or whatever. Please let me know if this position is open somewhere.

Okay...those are my three questions...thanks for being around! :)
You're welcome. I like being around. :)
