I'm in a thought provoking mood today - how about this one?

[MeanLaureen]

Here is another thinker for you

If you could have a dinner party with 10 people - any 10 people, dead or alive - who would you invite, and why?

 

[lisajl]

Wow! You are into this stuff today....what happened?

How about 5 people?

1. My dad...miss him all the time..he died when I was 15

2. Marilyn Monroe...is all that stuff about you true..kind of questions

3. John Kennedy...look to number 2 for same question

4. Woody Hayes..just cause I'm a Buckeye!!

5. My husbands grandma..she is deceased also. I would like to know more family history!

My Dad died when I was 8. He was my hero and I think about him all the time. I'd like to have one more family dinner with my entire immediate family. This includes:

My dad
My mom
My 3 brothers, 2 SILs, 4 DNs & DNs
My DH, DD and me

I know that's more than 10 but I just couldn't leave anyone out.

 

[Talking Hands]

My mother's Mom beause I never met her.
My mother's grandmothers because I loved them both dearly and I would love to find out more about that side of the family.
My brother because I just plain miss him.
Mr Katzenbach, my high school English teacher because he taught me so much.
Bill Nye, the science guy, because I love his show and he went to my high school but after I graduated.
Angela Roth, because she is just an awesome person.
Madame Cure, scientist
Hawking, physist
Gen Jacob L Devers, my godmother's Dad because he spoiled me to death as a kid. Treated me as if I was his granddaughter.

 

[Pooh67_68]

The reason would be just because these are the people I find the most interesting and would like to meet. I have choosen five that are deceased and five that are still alive.

Deceased:
1- Walt Disney
2- George Washington
3- Abe Linclon
4- JFK SR.
5- Princess Dianna

Alive:
1-Stephen King
2- Stephen Speilberg
3- John Travolta
4- Oprah Winfrey
5- Tom Hanks

 

[JDY]

1 and 2: Both grandfathers because I never met them.
3. Bill Clinton: I admire him and his presidency
4. Al Franken: Thought provoker
5. Princess Diana: An amazing person who met a tragic end
6. Walt Disney: Made the world a happy place
7. J.K. Rowling: Created generations of readers
8. Oprah Winfrey: Simply inspiring
9. Gilda Radner: Funny and Inspiring
10. My mother: She’s the best.

 

[Feralpeg]

My parents (I lost them when I was very young)
My sister
My two brothers
My DD
My niece
My nephew

That's enough. It would be so great to have a family meal like we did when I was young. Of course, my DD, niece and nephew would be new to the mix. They never got to meet either of the grandparents. It would be so great!

MY MOTHER
GHANDI

[PhotobearSam]

Not counting family...


1.
My Mother in law...She died before I met my DH and I want background info.

2. JFK senior....I have always been interested in Camelot.

3. Jerry O'Connell...actor, Sliders, Stand By Me, Kangaroo Jack...etc...I have to have Droll material.

4. Robbie Williams...Singer who looks like a lot of fun.

5. Eliuzabeth Montgomery...Played Bewitch and I am named after her character on that show.

6. Georges Lucas...so I can ask him for an autograph to make my DH happy.

7. Elvis Presley...What a hunk.

8. Ansel Adams...Photographer...I could really learn something from him.

9. Kevin Smith...Silent Bob, actor, writer, speaker...He has a lot of cool stories and has met a lot of people. He seems down to earth.

10. and last but not least....Walt Disney...who without his great vision there would not be a WDW and Disboards so what would I do on a cold Sunday Night.

 

[honeywolf7]

1. Thom's Uncle Jimmy that died last week b/c I'd like another chance to say "I love you" to him...I never said it while he was alive although I'm sure he knew.
2. My Uncle Ben for the same reason
3. My mom's parents (I never got a chance to meet either one, but I've heard such wonderful things about them)
4. Thomas Jefferson (he's always been the President I admired the most.)
5. John Denver
6. John Elway (for obvious reasons)
7. Kenny Chesney
8. one of my guy friends b/c he'd keep everyone laughing
9. My Aunt Norton (because she's someone that I'd really like to be like...she's the only family member that's still alive that I'd include in this list.)
10. Elvis Stojko

 

[MeanLaureen]

Okay - I finally thought of my list

1. DH Matthew of course
2. DH Matt's Dad - he died before I met Matt and I would love the chance to meet him
3. My Maternal Grandfather. He died long before I was born. He was the artist in my family and I would love to meet him. Remind me to tell you guys about an eerie story about the two of us.
4. Robin Williams - He always cracks me up
5. George Lucas - For Matthew - I'm sure he would love to talk plots and lightsabers with him
6. AZJazzyJ - one of my best friends - living 1500 miles apart we don't see each other often so it would be cool to have him here - plus he could give Robin Williams a run for his money
7. Brendan Fraser - well.. because he's cute (Matt's not reading this, right?)
I just realized this dinner party is me and all bunch of men so far.. yikes!
8. SonjaB and her DH Don - I've never had the pleasure of meeting her in person but she is such a sweetheart and you have to love her
9. Princess Diana would be a cool choice. I was never a follower of hers but after reading about her life and seeing pictures, I feel sorry for her that she never got a moments peace after marrying Charles
10. hmm.. guess I'll round out the group with Walt Disney - I would be curious to speak to him about his real vision of the Disney empire and what he thinks about what it has become today
