70 questions and answers, more or less.
1.) Are your parents married or divorced?
Now that's an interesting question. They are divorced from each other. My dad remarried and stayed with (his high school sweetheart - looong story)for almost 40 years. He passed in 2007, still see my stepmom. My mom remarried 3 more times. She's now a widow. It's complicated.
2.) Are you a vegetarian?
Nope. Not even a little.
3.) Do you believe in Heaven?
Hmmm. I don't know. I know the deceased live in my heart.
4.) Have you ever come close to dying?
Nope.
5.) What jewellery do you wear?
I always wear my wedding band and a slim white gold band I found in my mother's jewelry box on my left thumb. I've worn it there since I was a teen, lo these 40+ years. I was cool before it was cool. Heh. I like white gold, platinum or silver. No yellow gold. I have tons of jewelry, but am finding that I don't wear it much right now. If I'm feeling dressy I'll wear my engagment diamond.
6.) Favourite time of day?
When it's quiet.
7.) Do you eat the stems of broccoli?
Yes.
8. Do you wear makeup?
As with jewelry, I'm finding I don't wear as much, usually a swipe of mascara. If I'm going out (not a fancy party) I wear powder foundation, concealer, a neutral eye shadow, mascara and lip balm. Moreso if it's a fancy party.
9.) Ever had plastic surgery?
No, but it wouldn't hurt my feelings to get some of the resistant fat sucked out of my gut. Just sayin'.
10.) Do you colour your hair?
My Lord no. I'm too lazy and too cheap. I'm a dirty blonde and my gray is coming in white, which is really kinda cool. I have a few streaks in the front that lots of folks think I put in on purpose.
11.) What do you wear to bed?
Oversize V neck tshirt. Short sleeves in the summer, long sleeves in the winter.
12.) Have you ever done anything illegal?
Now I'm not going to tell you that (but, yeah).
13.) Can you roll your tongue?
Yup. We call it taco tongue. If you can roll your tongue and breath in and out it's a cooling breath and can help with hot flashes. Did you know I can't teach that particular pranayama as not everyone can roll their tongue? Now you know.
14.) Do you tweeze your eyebrows?
Matter of fact, I did it this morning.
15.) What kind of sneakers?
I love my faux chucks made by Crocs. They don't make them anymore. My hairdresser calls them my "fucks" (fake chucks? - get it?)
16.) Do you believe in abortions?
I believe in a woman's right to choose. xeleventy!!!
17.) What is your natural hair colour?
Dirty blonde running to white. See above.
18.) Do you have any children?
Two boys. Err, men.
19.) Do you snore?
So I've been told, but I only notice it when I'm on my back on the couch. I don't sleep on my back in bed. His Lordship snores so loudly he doesn't know if I do or not!
20.) If you could go anywhere in the world where would it be?
Hmm, it's a toss up between Great Britain and Italy. Or Hawaii. Or Australia.
21.) Do you sleep with stuffed animals?
Nope.

Silver or white gold.
24.) Hamburger or hot dog?
Hamburger, but hot dogs are fun too.
25.) If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

Nope.

I did not know that about hot flashes and tongue rolling. How frustrating - I'm well past those now but it would have been useful! :)
