That's a tough question to answer. Those are three very different sports; two of them being spectator, versus actual participation. Guess it just comes down to personal preferences.

Many people love golf; I never learned how to play, but I like miniature golf. ;) On occasion, I'll watch one of the bigger named horse races; yesterday's Belmont Stakes was exciting because of the potential for the Triple Crown--which actually happened! NASCAR intrigues me on a few levels, mainly because I'm a lousey driver and admire those who are the professionals. (Those that can handle a car at speeds up to 200 mph on a track with 43 other cars is impressive to me.) But more to the point, it's the whole strategic team effort behind each of the drivers that I find interesting. The pit crews, the crew chief, spotters, the officials, the mechanical equipment--it's all fascinating to me.

So out of curiosity, what sports (if any) do you like, and why?

I like to watch soccer and hockey. I have yet to watch a full MLS game though. I used to like to watch baseball but after the Red Sox won the World Series in 2004, I lost interest.

I'll continue to look around; don't really have a close-by Walmart, but I'll look in a few other stores. @Cesar R M also had a good suggestion to look in the bathroom cleaning supplies section of the store.

Ha! Witch Hazel--that name always scared me when I was a kid!! I wonder why your mother used it on her face; was it some sort of astringent if her skin was oily, for example? Oh, I just remembered another old concoction my grandmother used to get at a pharmacy--it was called rose water. Haven't a clue what that was used for either.

I always wondered why they called it witch hazel too, it is a scary and strange type of name. It is an astringent and it is/was cheap so I think that is why she used it. I have seen it as an ingredient in more expensive facial cleaners.

Good morning or good middle of the nighto_O I was just wondering do all of us keep strange hours? For me it's not so much a choice due to the hours of work and school my family has. Ds' school bus about 6:15 yesterday dh had to be at work before 6 am. So having to get everybody up and out is just part of my usual routine. I guess that's why we've never missed one rope drop yet!

By the time you and @MinnieM123 are waking up I've been in bed only a few hours. Yep, night owl.

I never understood people wanting to watch horses run. And Nascar. And Golf.

If you are planning to be a Future CEO, you had better learn to like golf and look good in colorful outfits. The other two things you don't need. A whole lot of networking happens on the golf course.:)

Miniature golf is always fun. They should have miniature golf tournaments.

Just imagine it. Announcer: "And now Tiger woods will attempt to make the ball pass through the windmill and land in the clowns mouth." :joyfull:

Now that I might would actually watch.

It's doubtful that Tiger Woods can even do that anymore.:(

You are so diplomatic in your answers. (I'm glad "we" get it. ;) )
