No. I don't like the feeling of it around my neck.

In TX and CA that I can think of.


Even if it was just a school play, has anyone in your family ever been bitten by the acting bug?


Once in high school I skipped school to be an extra in a TV movie.


Oh, and my cousin, my friends and I went through a phase where we liked to make horror movies. We were about 12 or 13.



Bonus Section:
Have you ever been to a flea market?

Outdoor, but it was kind of both because it had indoor areas.


Did you buy anything?


Just some old back issues of Alfred Hitchcock Mysteries magazine (I think that's the name).


Did you eat anything?


Some fries that I regretted.


Foodie Questions:
Do you recognize/have you had:
-Frito pie? <--- A long time ago.

Never heard of the others.

Don't wear sweaters anymore of any style.

I spent some of my Spring and Fall in West Virginia this year. Was on several two lane highways where I pulled over to let people pass me. Also, there is a famous two lane highway, US 129, that runs between Florida and Tennessee. The part of it that runs over the North Carolina/Tennessee border is called Tail of The Dragon (for 318 curves in 11 miles). That part is bordered by The Great Smoky Mountains and Cherokee National Forest. When I was in North Carolina in 2015, I drove home to Tennessee on it.

Even if it was just a school play, has anyone in your family ever been bitten by the acting bug? No


Bonus Section:
Have you ever been to a flea market?
yes

If so, indoors or outdoors or both? outdoors

Did you buy anything? No, I hate shopping even in flea markets. I was dragged there by others.

Did you eat anything? Don't remember. It was decades ago like 1970s.


Foodie Questions:
Do you recognize/have you had:
-Frito pie?
-Walking taco?

-Cornish pastie?


No

What's at least one sandwich or other handy food the region you live in is known for?

Corn dogs.

Just for fun:
Describe a dumb move you saw someone pull in traffic:


They don't put on their headlights when it's raining, snowing or especially when its foggy. Running lights aren't on in the back of the car. In the fog or snow you could be on someone's unlit dumb ass in a second. I used to say when I was still in the workforce that they should hire people to drive certain stretches of road when it's foggy, snowing or raining and just pull people over and issue tickets for driving without their headlights on. They would pay for themselves and give part time work to people plus they'd make a lot of money for county/local government.

Been a rough week in the kygman household. My 94 year old dad passed away early Sunday morning. I was sitting with him when he took his last breath and was then standing with my mother who died 4 years ago. I'm going to try to get back in my routine.

Today's Questions:
Turtleneck sweaters, why or why not? Nope. Don't like anything on my neck like that. The turtles can keep it

Have you ever taken a road trip on two lane highways instead of the interstate? Would rather stay on 2 lanes for just a day trip. You can see more
-If so, can you give an example of where to where? I used to live 90 miles from where I am now. Like I said, there's a lot to see in between including an Amish community off the main road where we'd occasionally stop and buy things

Even if it was just a school play, has anyone in your family ever been bitten by the acting bug? Not really. My brother andI were both in our senior plays but that was just to get out of a class a day. lol


Bonus Section:
Have you ever been to a flea market? Yup

If so, indoors or outdoors or both? Both

Did you buy anything? Sometimes we did

Did you eat anything? Sometimes


Foodie Questions:
Do you recognize/have you had:
-Frito pie? Yup
-Walking taco? When I was a band parent we sold marching tacos, which is the same thing, but ours was also a Frito pie
-Pudgy pie? Nope
-Cornish pastie? Nope

What's at least one sandwich or other handy food the region you live in is known for? Pork burgers. LOVE them!!!
Nothing but ground pork, just like ground beef. A little salt, lemon pepper and a good sauce. Mmmmmm!


Just for fun:
Describe a dumb move you saw someone pull in traffic: Man in a pick up passed a car on the interstate. When he pulled back in the right lane he must have forgot he was pulling his boat. Car he was passing had to hit the brakes hard.
