Should kidneys be able to be bought and sold? Yike! Well, I suppose it's none of my business. If people need the money desperately enough and someone else has the need, why should I look down on them. I almost lost a family member by not getting an organ in time and there are some ethical feelings that loom on that front but I can imagine they would've paid if someone offered one up without red tape.
Do you think that children born today will have better or worse lives than their parents? Oh Lord, worse! I know they won't see it that way but as someone who straddled the line between pre and post technology, I feel like there are major things they can't do or comprehend.
What movie, picture, or video always makes you laugh no matter how often you watch it? Real Genius. ("We were going to make you king of the winter carnival." "You'll rue the day!" "Your mother puts license plates in your underwear, how do you sit?")
If animals could talk, which animal would be the most annoying? I have to imagine a laughing hyena wouldn't be able to finish a sentence without laughing.
What’s the coldest you’ve ever been? Probably in Woodstock IL for the 25th anniversary of Groundhog Day. It was single digits but it was worth it for the memories.
Do you eat food that’s past its expiration date if it still smells and looks fine? Hell yeah. It's 'best by' date. You didn't waste food when you were as po' as we were after the divorce.
What songs hit you with a wave of nostalgia every time you hear them? Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears. Sometimes it takes everything in me not to cry hearing it.
When was the last time you slept more than nine hours? OMG, I don't know but that sounds like friggin' heaven!
How comfortable are you speaking in front of large groups of people? Fairly comfortable especially if I know what I'm talking about or honoring someone.
Who has zero filter between their brain and mouth? My cousin.
What would be the best thing you could reasonably expect to find in a cave? Guano or the Miner 49er.
What’s your best story from a wedding? I was a flower girl for my aunt's wedding and after getting shaving cream on my hands from the getaway car, I didn't know where to wipe them off so I used the tails on my new uncle's tux! Whoops!
What life skills are rarely taught but extremely useful? Mental health and self care. How to seek help if you're struggling. Instead it's "here's some courses you'll need for college, you're 18 now, adult away!"
When was a time you acted nonchalant but were going crazy inside? Any story involving my grandma's husband after her death.
What’s the scariest non-horror movie? Anything like Paranormal Activity and Blair Witch Project.

Do you think that children born today will have better or worse lives than their parents? There is a real disconnect with interpersonal skills for kids these days and that's all related to technology. So, I guess from an opportunity standpoint, kids have it better. But from a "learning at our mother's knee" from a traditions/legacy standpoint, I think kids will miss out.
ReplyDeleteWhat movie, picture, or video always makes you laugh no matter how often you watch it? Two kids movies that always make me laugh are Shrek and Despicable Me 2. I can watch the second one all day long and just crack up.
What’s the coldest you’ve ever been? Probably a few years ago when the actual temperatures were almost 50 below zero here for a couple of days. I had to start my car twice during a 4 hour shift just so the battery wouldn't die.
Do you eat food that’s past its expiration date if it still smells and looks fine? Yessum. Milk is always good a week past the date. And eggs...eggs never used to have a date on them! I totally ignore that.
When was the last time you slept more than nine hours? I think that happened about 3 months ago where I slept close to 11 hours, with it being broken up when I fed the dogs and took them out. I remember being stunned that I went back to sleep and was knocked out so solidly. Very rare since most days it's 2-3 hours and that's it.
How comfortable are you speaking in front of large groups of people? Not comfortable at all, but I've done it. I've gotten used to reading out loud in a large group setting due to meetings I attend, so that's helped a lot in that regard.
What life skills are rarely taught but extremely useful? How to change a tire on a car. I've had to do it more than once and was very thankful I knew how to do it since I was in a remote area.
When was a time you acted nonchalant but were going crazy inside? Any time my dogs are sick.
