Re: Alright, ask me anything!

  • You were given a million dollars to start a foundation. What would your mission be?

    Favorite ethnic food?

    If you could go back in time, anything you'd like a "do over" on?

    Honestly, a million dollars wouldn't touch this problem, but I would do something to invest in/improve the philadelphia school district. Something like 70% of high school freshmen read at a 4th grade level or below in some schools. It is awful.

    I LOVE Greek food, but that feels like a cop out since my family is Greek. I'm currently really digging sushi.

    I would like to go back to the moment when I accepted my starting salary at this job and instead of jump at an awesome opportunity for average pay, really negotiate for what I was worth. I feel like I'm still fighting to be where I should be because I started low for market value.

  • If you had your own planet, what would you do with it?

    Coke or Pepsi?

    Your biggest phobia?

    Interesting question! What are the options for owning a planet? Haha -- I legitimately don't know!

    Neither. I hate soda!

    Snakes. Eeeeek!

    People or no people? What kind of animals? Desolate or occupied? Vegetation? Color of sky? Amount of suns and colors? Amount of moons. Options are endless.

    Haha! I guess animals... Lots of beautiful vegetation. Reddish purple sky. Humans have trashed enough planets, let's leave this one for animals :)

    If you could change your first name, what would you change it to?

    What is your favorite thing about yourself?


    Silver

    Trivial pursuit

    I would keep my name. I like it.

    I don't know ... I'm good under pressure. I deal well with crises.

  • If money and space were not an issue, how many kids would you want?

  • If money and space were not an issue, how many kids would you want?

    If money and space were truly unlimited, I would transfer all of our remaining embryos (not at the same time!) and we would have as many kiddos as stuck. The idea of being done having kids with a bunch of embryos left on the freezer makes me really sad. I don't know what we will do...

    If we didn't have embryos in the freezer and you asked me the same question, 4-6 kids. Hard to say in advance when we would feel done/complete.

    We both really would love a big family!

  • If you owned a vacation home anywhere in the world, where would it be?

    Relaxing vacations or sightseeing?


    Cape cod. I have wanted a home there since I was little.

    Sightseeing.

    I don't think I mentioned on here that my parents had 7 kids. Growing up in a big family, there was never a dull moment in our house!
  • What's one of your your favorite books?

    East of Eden by John Steinbeck or A Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood

    Probably a song lyric or a piece of a lyric ... Somewhere that was not visible in daily life, but if have to think about it more. I'd likely obsess over it for a long time before deciding. Lucky for me, I never want a tattoo! Haha

  • Atwood is one of my favorites!

    I didn't take you as a tattoo girl, but I love the thought of a lyric!
