What is your name? Call me Ishmael. No, wait, that's the opening line of a book. CountryDew will do.
How old are you? Old enough to know better and young enough to enjoy doing it anyway.
Have any pets? I have 40 cows, deer, turkey, various other bird species including hawks and blue jays, and a husband.
Ever been married? Yep, for 23 years.

Where are you from? The far reaches of the fantastic, the inner dimensions, and the oldest of the ages.

Can you read minds? I know exactly what you're thinking.

Are you hungry? No, I had dinner about two hours ago.
Are you dieting? Yes, but it isn't working because I cheat with root beer and chocolate (not at the same time, that's too much sugar all at once).
What is the weather like? It is the calm before the storm.
If you could have any power, what would it be? I would end poverty. Not sure what power that would take. But if I can't do that, I would like to be able to heal people.
