35. Do you keep up-to-date with current news and events? 

A. Yes, and I find most of today's news to be alarming as well as poorly done, with little follow-up or true investigative reporting. I am certain that U.S. citizens are being cheated out of essential knowledge because the media is more interested in making money via entertainment than through its actual job as the Fourth Estate. It is a sore point with me, how low the media has fallen. Of course, most of the media is now owned by only six large corporations, so we are not getting multiple viewpoints. Just canned items. And if you think the media is liberal, you make me laugh. If the media was liberal, we would be hearing about things like ALEC, the number of people in prison, there would be endless articles about wage inequities, profiles of poor people every day, lots of criticism of Citizens United, the loss of jobs to overseas companies - taken from U.S. citizens by U.S. companies, gerrymandering, peak oil, the loss of the middle class, loss of funding for public schools, the privatization of the national park system, banking industry corruption . . . such a long list of things that are not on the radar of the so-called "liberal" media, because it is more important to know if Jennifer Anniston is pregnant or if Lady Gaga is having an affair with Tony Bennett or whatever the hell people think they need to know but don't. If you think the media is liberal, what you really think is that it doesn't agree with you, so therefore it must be liberal because you consider yourself a conservative. Truth and facts are neither liberal nor conservative, they just are. Unfortunately, they are no longer being reported by the media. (Sorry, I used to be a journalist, and this irritates me.)

36. Have you asked someone for advice today?

A. I have asked my husband what to do about these couches. So far neither of us have come up with a solution.

37. What color is your shampoo?

A. One bottle is green, the other is white. I switch shampoos frequently.

38. Have you watched more than an hour of TV today?

A. I haven't watched any TV today.

39. Ever wake up early on Saturdays to go Garage Sale shopping?

A. Not in about 20 years.
