How many of you drink coffee on a daily basis? Do you like flavored coffees? Are you open to trying new flavors, and brands?

I'm not a fan of coffee. I won't say no to a cup of hot chocolate, though.

 

[cousinbb]

I don't drink too much hot coffee but I LOVE coffee flavored drinks if that makes sense. Not open to trying different ones tho.

When you have an ear ache, how do you treat it? Do you go to the doctors, let it be, or something other?

 

[Pooh67_68]

I go to the doctor because they only time i get an ear ache is when i get an upper respiratory infection.

 

[cousinbb]

I just let it be.

Have you ever walked in one of the Disney parades?

If you were to choose any one Disney character to escort you during the parade, who would it be?

Never walked in a Disney parade. I think it would be fun to have one of the muppets walk with me.
