Questions for Monday, October 3.

1. What food have you recently started eating often?
None. I'm doing the opposite.


2. How often do you wash your car?
Well, she's looking pretty rough because she's old but like....never? I can't do it and I've just been too busy here lately to have it done. But this week it's take care of Josephine week to pamper and rest.

3. Did you ever catch a fish? Bait your own hook? Take the fish off the hook? Eat it?
Yes, yes, yes and yes LOL. I grew up on the coast so feeshing was required.

4. Have you been in a boat alone, away from shore?
No not away from shore but I used to sneak into yachts and sailboats and hang out while their owners were partying on the boardwalk.

5. Snickers, Kit Kat or Hershey?
Hands down, Kit Kat. Just not right now.

6. Have you seen a solar or lunar eclipse?
Yes, both. We experienced the solar eclipse in 2017, we were some of the few who got to experience it. It was really weird and trippy. I have it on video where it was changing from light to dark. It was really cool. "Path of totality" was right here in my front yard. If I knew how to post a video I would do that. I struggle hard with technology.

7. In your life, how many live wild snakes have you seen? Any venomous ones?
Many. They are very prevalent in NC and SC. Yes, water moccasins, copperheads etc. and green and black snakes, which are harmless.

8. What is the longest you have ever gone without seeing a parent, child or sibling?
Oh dear, I could go on for days about that but I'll just say that I spent 34 days without seeing or talking to a soul. It was a cleansing thing, and I was better for it.


9. Have you ever formally attended a convention?
Yeah, but not by choice.

10. Who is your favorite pro athlete"
Joe Montana, I don't care if he's old now. I am NOT a sports fan at all but he was different, it was a personal thing between us.

Happy birthday to my dad, who'da been 122.
Sorry about your Dad, 122 huh? I guess that would mean you're 20?

Thanks arr great questions!
