Do you like having your picture taken?
Not really. I'm rarely photogenic
If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
Ireland. I've always connected most to the Irish side of my heritage. And I really, really want to see Sugarloaf by moonlight
Have you ever done crossword puzzles?
I like them, but I seldom find time.
Pick up the closest book and write a sentence at random from it:
"Eddie Deakin had himself under rigid control, but he was a boiling kettle with the lid jammed on, a volcano ready to blow." --Night Over Water by Ken Follett
Do the same with a lyric from either a cd or the radio:
"I've got the ways and means
To New Orleans
I'm going down by the river where it's warm and green.
I'm gonna have a drink and walk around
I got a lot to think about, oh yeahhhh."
--Bloodletting (The vampire song) by Concrete Blonde
Have you ever tried to analyze your own dreams?
Who hasn't?
Can you sing?
I can. Whether I should is another kettle of fish.
Do you ever sing to yourself while doing everyday tasks?
Yep. The kids hate it.
What's your favorite color of post-it note?
Yellow.
Have you ever lied to get off the phone or out of talking to someone on line?
Of course. I've also been known to put barely verbal toddlers on the line with telemarketers.
Is your VCR flashing 12:00 all the time?
it doesn't have a clock.
Do you read your horoscope?
Sometimes. It's always the same: "Today you will be struck by falling purple weasals. Love likely."
Would you rather chew gum or use mouthwash and why?
Mouthwash. Gum sticks to my retainer.
How many times a year about are you sick?
Sick as in really knocked on my butt, or sick as in walking flu?
The former: about twice.
The latter about 1x a month.

WSRR, Millington/Memphis. Star 98.1. Classic Rock.

Impossible numbers. I'm on several marketing mailing lists.
Name one person your life is made better by:
My hubby.
Can you do math with ease?
Up to basic trig.
Are you a vegetarian?
Stars no! Why on earth would I be? Most grains disagree with me, and I don't like most vegetables.
How about an aspiring actor/actress?
Not professional, but I'll fill in the chorus of a local community production now and then.
Which movie can you watch and say the lines along with the actors?
Too darn many.
Name one of your passions in life.
Crochet
What's your least favorite time of day?
5 AM looks good from neither side.
You're either going to bed too late or getting up too early.
What color is the inside of your head when you close your eyes?
Sunlit stone. It looks like a rotunda.
Ever listen to classical music?
Yes. Hubby plays a lot of it.
Have you ever said 'lol' in real life without thinking about it?
Yep
What is the best present you've ever given someone else?
Mom cried when Brenda and I got her the mother's ring. It was gorgeous, and she just opened it, sat down, cried and hugged us.
(It had a garnet, an emerald, a sapphire and a topaz)
What is the best present someone else has ever given to you?
Hard to say. I still think it might have been the Kenner Millennium Falcon.
There have been a lot of good ones.
The engagement ring was the very best though.
Do you wear a watch?
when I have one. which is not now.
Write one sentence stating what you want people to say about you after you've passed on.
"God grant that she lie still."
(sorry, that's a bit flip. I really don't know)
Describe the ideal superpower and what you would do if you had it.
