1. Favorite (and least favorite) classical music piece. Favorite: Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven. Not sure about least favorite.
2. When was the last time you rode a horse? First and only time was when I was in 8th or 9th grade. Not my thing. They are beautiful creatures though.
3. How much alone time do you need in a week? Probably much more than most people do. I need at least 3-4 hours/day, so approx. 25 hrs./week.
4. It's that time again. Remind me of your favorite salad recipe. One that I used to make all the time. Spring greens, diced apple or pear, walnuts, raspberry vinaigrette and feta.
5. Who was the last person who gave you a pep talk? Did it help? I try to give them to my mom all the time. Usually doesn't work.
6. What's a fear you have conquered or want to conquer? I would like to get over my debilitating fear of the number that comes after 12.
7. Here's five hundred bucks. You have to spend it now. What do you buy? I would probably pay bills for my mom. If I had to spend it on myself, I would stock up on supplements at the health food store and use the rest to buy B&N gift cards.
8. Name a writer or book you haven't read that you want to read this year? Looking forward to reading books by Michael Koryta.
9. When was the last time you were in a physical altercation? Violence against me, probably 3 or 4 years ago. Last (and only) "cat fight" I had was with a girl in the third grade over a tether ball game. She pulled my hair and we rolled around the dirt playground for a few minutes. I can promise you that she started it!
10. Have you ever learned something about someone you wish you hadn't? All the time. But thankfully, not much surprises me anymore. |

1. Favorite (and least favorite) classical music piece.
I enjoy Sabre Dance and Fanfare for the Common Man most. No least favorite.
2. When was the last time you rode a horse?
Nearly 30 years ago through a mountain range in Arizona.
3. How much alone time do you need in a week?
When I sleep.
4. It's that time again. Remind me of your favorite salad recipe.
Whatever is in the Olive Garden salad.
5. Who was the last person who gave you a pep talk? Did it help?
Don’t ever remember anyone giving me a pep talk.
6. What's a fear you have conquered or want to conquer?
Fear of heights. I try to conquer it because I’m often 25 feet in the air on a small platform, tethered to the machinery, lifting inventory at the part-time home improvement center job. Doesn’t help, the fear doesn’t go away.
7. Here's five hundred bucks. You have to spend it now. What do you buy?
Tools… no one ever has enough tools.
8. Name a writer or book you haven't read that you want to read this year?
‘Unfreedom of the Press’ by Mark R. Levin
9. When was the last time you were in a physical altercation?
About 25 years ago when a guy threw a drink on my date. Started one on one, but when I started to get the upper hand his two buddies joined in and made it three on one.
10. Have you ever learned something about someone you wish you hadn't?
All the time.

1. Favorite (and least favorite) classical music piece.
I don't listen to enough Classical music to have a favorite or least favorite. I like Beethoven....especially Moonlight Sonata. I also like Mozart and Vivaldi.
2. When was the last time you rode a horse?
When I was five or six. My uncle had a blind horse named Trigger. I could sit on him without a saddle, and someone would lead him around the farm. I've always been afraid of horses other than that.
3. How much alone time do you need in a week?
A lot more than I'm able to get, that's for sure!
4. It's that time again. Remind me of your favorite salad recipe.
Simple pasta salad: Tri Color Rotini, Cucumber, Tomato, Pepperoni, Onion, Italian Dressing, Salt & Pepper, Parmesan Cheese.
5. Who was the last person who gave you a pep talk? Did it help?
No one has ever given me a pep talk
6. What's a fear you have conquered or want to conquer?
Spiders
7. Here's five hundred bucks. You have to spend it now. What do you buy?
Exterior Paint for the house
8. Name a writer or book you haven't read that you want to read this year?
I'd like to read The Heroin Diaries by Nikki Sixx. The fact that he was able to keep a coherent journal during that time amazes me.
9. When was the last time you were in a physical altercation?
1998. When my brother died, his girlfriend put all of his things in storage and wouldn't allow me or my mom to have anything. She then took all his things and told us they had been stolen, but there were photographs of his things at her mother's house after that. I saw her a walmart one day, and asked her about them, and she lied to me again, and then made some snide comment. I had her by her hair and was ready to flip her over my shoulder before I even knew what I was doing. I heard them page security over the intercom, so I left her there and calmly exited the store. Two weeks later, her sister brought me the few items I had asked for. I can't say I'm proud of that, but I would most likely do it again.
10. Have you ever learned something about someone you wish you hadn't?
I think at the time, I might have wished I hadn't learned things about several people, but looking back, I'm glad I found out when I did because the knowledge saved me a lot of trouble and heartache in the long run.

Weekly Survey: June, 2nd 2019
1. Have you ever lost your temper with a cashier? Not really. I was a little curt with a Walmart cashier many years ago, but I went back and apologized.
Something happened at the grocery store last year that should've made me lose it. A high school kid was scanning my stuff and one of his coworkers came up and told him to come talk to him when he had time. My cashier literally walked away from the transaction instantly. I was standing there completely dumbfounded. Another cashier finished the transaction and a person-in-charge followed me out to the parking lot and gave me a $5 gift card. Good help is hard to find! LOL
2. It's almost summer...what's your favorite flavor crushed ice or frozen adult beverage? I love frappes and frappucinos on occasion. Haven't had a frozen margarita in many years, but a strawberry one sounds divine right about now!
3. If the Car Wash Police were looking for dirty cars and took yours into custody right now, would yours be guilty or innocent? My car would be on death row.
4. If you have children, have you designated godparents? N/A (I was almost godmother to my old BFF's daughter, but it didn't happen because I'm not Catholic.)
5. Who on the SKMB would you trust enough to adopt your pets should you die prematurely? LOL spideyman 
6. Bill Burr said recently he took his daughter to see Dumbo and they both walked out early. What is the last movie you walked out on? (This may be a question I've asked before, but I'm interested in reading the answers again.) I've never walked out of a movie on my own. When we were kids, my mom yanked all of us (my two half brothers and me) out of a comedy that she thought was too mature for us. Wish I could remember what it was. And that's actually the only movie I remember all of us going to...
7. To shorten your prison sentence would you ever participate in a Long Walk scenario, where the same rules apply except you'd only have to walk fifteen miles? No.
8. Drop Everything and Go For It Person or Deep Thinker and Plan-it-to-Death Person: Which are you? Deep thinker.
9. What was your last scare with wild animals or nature? (Wasp's nest? Coyote? Snake?) Whenever I see a spider it always feels like a near-death experience.
Several years ago a bat flew at me from somewhere upstairs. I didn't know what it was at first, but threw myself to the floor (knocking my head on an exercise trampoline). It flew into the bathroom and somehow I had the wherewithal to run and open the kitchen door to the garage. It flew out and went up to the rafters and folded its wings in. That's when I knew it wasn't just a deranged bird.
10. Do you have any funny wedding, funeral, or graduation stories? What the heck...tell us anything that'll make us laugh. Wild card. At my husband's funeral, my half brother (who is extremely dyslexic) was trying to make me smile. The obituary mentioned my dog, Sadie. He said he read it over and over and couldn't figure out who "SaBie" was.
I went to a Catholic wedding that lasted about 12 hours (not sure if this one was especially long). Ceremony, social hour, reception, dance...I wound up extremely drunk and lost my shoes.

Weekly Survey: June, 2nd 2019
1. Have you ever lost your temper with a cashier? Not really, had a "discussion" with one once, they had a sign up saying any item that wouldn't scan or scanned incorrectly would be given to you free, I had a six pack of beer that scanned at the wrong price, she said that alcohol wasn't included in that offer, I pointed out that the six pack qualified as any item and the sign didn't say alcohol was exempt, the manager was called and gave me the same story, I told her to honour what the sign said or take the sign down, she took the sign down.
2. It's almost summer...what's your favorite flavor crushed ice or frozen adult beverage? I'm not a fan of the crushed ice drinks and I don't drink alcohol anymore, but I am partial to a non-alcoholic beer called Nanny State
3. If the Car Wash Police were looking for dirty cars and took yours into custody right now, would yours be guilty or innocent? Guilty...but with a plausible excuse.
4. If you have children, have you designated godparents? Yes, my brother and my sister-in law.
5. Who on the SKMB would you trust enough to adopt your pets should you die prematurely? Don't have any pets but if I did then it would be neesy or doowopgirl.
6. Bill Burr said recently he took his daughter to see Dumbo and they both walked out early. What is the last movie you walked out on? Last one I can remember walking out of was Waiting To Exhale, well the wife walked out first and I assumed she wanted me to follow.
(This may be a question I've asked before, but I'm interested in reading the answers again.)
7. To shorten your prison sentence would you ever participate in a Long Walk scenario, where the same rules apply except you'd only have to walk fifteen miles? Yeah I'd do it, piece of cake.....hang on, did you say miles or minutes?
8. Drop Everything and Go For It Person or Deep Thinker and Plan-it-to-Death Person: Which are you? I've been known to drop everything to make a plan so I guess somewhere in the middle?
9. What was your last scare with wild animals or nature? (Wasp's nest? Coyote? Snake?) Well we don't have coyotes or snakes here (unless the human kind counts?) but we do have wasps and I f**cking hate them, during summer I walk around with a rolled up newspaper everywhere I go. I think the only time I got nervous was very early one morning I was on walking trail and a deer came out of the bushes with a calf about twenty feet in front of me, she stopped dead when she saw me and stared, I stood still and they moved on after about a minute. Not very scary I know but hey this is Ireland, you have a better chancy of having your head kicked in on a night on the town than by a deer on a hiking trail .
10. Do you have any funny wedding, funeral, or graduation stories? What the heck...tell us anything that'll make us laugh. Wild card. I was at my aunts funeral about twelve years ago, my daughter was six or seven years old, the church is full and silent, we wait for the priest to come out and start the mass, my daughter is asking me questions in a low nervous whisper, "why are we here, who died, how did she die, when did she die", I whisper answers to each question back to her, then she asks, "where is she", I point to the casket, my daughter stands up and at the top of her voice says..."SHE'S IN THE BOX!!!!"

3. If the Car Wash Police were looking for dirty cars and took yours into custody right now, would yours be guilty or innocent? Guilty...but with a plausible excuse.
4. If you have children, have you designated godparents? Yes, my brother and my sister-in law.
5. Who on the SKMB would you trust enough to adopt your pets should you die prematurely? Don't have any pets but if I did then it would be neesy or doowopgirl.
6. Bill Burr said recently he took his daughter to see Dumbo and they both walked out early. What is the last movie you walked out on? Last one I can remember walking out of was Waiting To Exhale, well the wife walked out first and I assumed she wanted me to follow.
(This may be a question I've asked before, but I'm interested in reading the answers again.)
7. To shorten your prison sentence would you ever participate in a Long Walk scenario, where the same rules apply except you'd only have to walk fifteen miles? Yeah I'd do it, piece of cake.....hang on, did you say miles or minutes?
8. Drop Everything and Go For It Person or Deep Thinker and Plan-it-to-Death Person: Which are you? I've been known to drop everything to make a plan so I guess somewhere in the middle?
9. What was your last scare with wild animals or nature? (Wasp's nest? Coyote? Snake?) Well we don't have coyotes or snakes here (unless the human kind counts?) but we do have wasps and I f**cking hate them, during summer I walk around with a rolled up newspaper everywhere I go. I think the only time I got nervous was very early one morning I was on walking trail and a deer came out of the bushes with a calf about twenty feet in front of me, she stopped dead when she saw me and stared, I stood still and they moved on after about a minute. Not very scary I know but hey this is Ireland, you have a better chancy of having your head kicked in on a night on the town than by a deer on a hiking trail .
10. Do you have any funny wedding, funeral, or graduation stories? What the heck...tell us anything that'll make us laugh. Wild card. I was at my aunts funeral about twelve years ago, my daughter was six or seven years old, the church is full and silent, we wait for the priest to come out and start the mass, my daughter is asking me questions in a low nervous whisper, "why are we here, who died, how did she die, when did she die", I whisper answers to each question back to her, then she asks, "where is she", I point to the casket, my daughter stands up and at the top of her voice says..."SHE'S IN THE BOX!!!!" 5. Who on the SKMB would you trust enough to adopt your pets should you die prematurely? Don't have any pets but if I did then it would be neesy or doowopgirl.
Oh my - you're the second one now - so what kind of pets are we talking here?
I don't mind and I thank you for trusting me - just wondering how much it would cost to ship an Irish wolfhound (just guessing) from Ireland to Canada

Weekly Survey: June, 2nd 2019
1. Have you ever lost your temper with a cashier?
No - I did just argue with a lady at the local library - she said I owed $4.80 but I convinced her I only owed $3.60 (our library recently closed on Saturdays and they won't open on Saturday again until after Labor Day
2. It's almost summer...what's your favorite flavor crushed ice or frozen adult beverage?
Hmmm - every now and then I will have a Coke slurpie at 7-11 but that is a rare occasion
3. If the Car Wash Police were looking for dirty cars and took yours into custody right now, would yours be guilty or innocent?
I think I would be innocent as it only has a bit of dust on it
4. If you have children, have you designated godparents?
No I have not and I should! Well actually my older son Sean in Edmonton does have a godfather (my younger brother Bob) but he doesn't need any guardian - I think Josh will need one after I am gone.
5. Who on the SKMB would you trust enough to adopt your pets should you die prematurely? LOL
Hmmm - another good question - I would probably ship my Siamese cat Bailey off to see diobolic cuz I know he loves cats!
6. Bill Burr said recently he took his daughter to see Dumbo and they both walked out early. What is the last movie you walked out on? (This may be a question I've asked before, but I'm interested in reading the answers again.)
I think I walked out on a movie called The Story of O being shown in Toronto when I was 18 or 19. All that bondage and light whipping etc. was too much for my young mind to accept. I saw it again much later in my late 20s and found it quite erotic.
7. To shorten your prison sentence would you ever participate in a Long Walk scenario, where the same rules apply except you'd only have to walk fifteen miles?
Sure - I think I could walk 15 miles no problem
8. Drop Everything and Go For It Person or Deep Thinker and Plan-it-to-Death Person: Which are you?
I think I am somewhere in the middle but I used to be the Drop Everything and Go For It Girl when I was much younger.
9. What was your last scare with wild animals or nature? (Wasp's nest? Coyote? Snake?)
Charged at by a rabid beaver when we lived in the country (again, I was around 19 years old). Luckily it did not bite me but I did fall into the dry ditch on the side of the gravel road. I remember I was wearing blue corduroy platform shoes and an ankle length denim skirt at the time. I screamed so loud at that poor beaver - that is probably why it left me alone.
10. Do you have any funny wedding, funeral, or graduation stories? What the heck...tell us anything that'll make us laugh. Wild card.
The minister at the Bridge Street United Church forgot Frank's name while officiating at our wedding in 1987 (That's Josh's Dad) - Frank was a flight steward at that time and was often away from home - flying with 437 Squadron. (I know - not all that funny)
But we did do something silly - after the service we walked back down the aisle then instead of heading outside or to an antechamber we turned right and headed towards the wall (just like we had done at rehearsal).
The minister redeemed himself by saying "Welcome to Frank and Denise's wedding rehearsal"

Weekly Survey: June, 2nd 2019
1. Have you ever lost your temper with a cashier?
Yes. Too many times to count. I've been using the self checkout option whenever it's available to save myself the headache, and my daughter the embarrassment.
2. It's almost summer...what's your favorite flavor crushed ice or frozen adult beverage?
Frozen Vodka Lemonade or Lemon Drop Shots
3. If the Car Wash Police were looking for dirty cars and took yours into custody right now, would yours be guilty or innocent?
Innocent
4. If you have children, have you designated godparents?
No
5. Who on the SKMB would you trust enough to adopt your pets should you die prematurely? LOL
DiO or The Kidd
6. Bill Burr said recently he took his daughter to see Dumbo and they both walked out early. What is the last movie you walked out on? (This may be a question I've asked before, but I'm interested in reading the answers again.)
I didn't walk out, but at the end of Dark Shadows, I sat there in utter disbelief that I'd wasted an hour and a half of my life that way
7. To shorten your prison sentence would you ever participate in a Long Walk scenario, where the same rules apply except you'd only have to walk fifteen miles?
I haven't read The Long Walk yet......so Maybe
8. Drop Everything and Go For It Person or Deep Thinker and Plan-it-to-Death Person: Which are you?
I like a good plan. Doesn't mean that it will go as planned, but I'll plan it to death anyway
9. What was your last scare with wild animals or nature? (Wasp's nest? Coyote? Snake?)
Before I replaced the windows in the house, a swarm of yellow jackets decided to make their home inside the wall between the window and the house. I could hear them moving around in there......sounded like about a million of them milling around. I got myself some spray, and squirted it into the hole they'd made in the window sill. Well, they decided to come on into the house via their back door through the window casing into my bedroom. There were about 20 of those hateful things that tried to chase me through the house.
10. Do you have any funny wedding, funeral, or graduation stories? What the heck...tell us anything that'll make us laugh. Wild card.
After the visitation for my brother's funeral, two of my cousins and I were standing at the casket, picking lint off my brother's shirt, restyling his hair, checking to see if he was wearing shoes, and talking to him just like he was right there with us. One of us got too close to the casket.....which turned out to be sitting on a thing with wheels. Well, the thing moved about 6 inches, and the three of us jumped about 15 feet back. Just as that happened, my cousin James came up to talk to us, saw us jump, and yelled "Did he move?", and ran back down the aisle toward the door before we could answer him. I swear, his eyes were as big as dinner plates. The three of us got so tickled, we couldn't stop laughing to tell anyone what had scared James.
