35. Can you whistle properly?
A. Yes. Tweet tweet tweet.
36. What song do you think is the most widely heard in the world?
A. Since we have armed forces bases in 38 nations, or something like that, I expect it is The Star Spangled Banner. Although Happy Birthday might actually take first place.
37. Where's the strangest place a fast food restaurant was located?

A. I have a desire to go to McAfee's Knob, which is on the Appalachian Trail and not all that far from my home. It is a six-mile hike, which is not far, but I am not an outdoors girl at all.

Sunday Stealing: It Would Be Nice To Give It A Try
IF I WON 100 MILLION DOLLARS . . .
(Isn't it sad that you have to win not a million dollars, but 100 million dollars? Money doesn't go as far as it used to.)
What kind of car would you buy?
Probably the same thing I have: a Toyota Camry. I might get the 6-cylinder engine, though. And my husband would get a new Ford F-250 pick up truck of some kind, I'm sure. Although you never know. Maybe I'd go check out the Cadillacs or a Jaguar or something.
Where in the country would you move to?
I imagine we'd stay right where we are.
What kind of house would you buy?
We might build a new one after purchasing some of the property around us. It would have a nice front porch.
Would you give your family any money?
Yes.
What charity would you donate to?
Probably the same ones I donate to now, and I'd set up some kind of endowment at my alma mater.
Would you give your friends any money?
Yes.
Where would you go on vacation?
Europe. I have always wanted to go to Scotland, England, and Ireland.
What luxury item would you buy first?
I would hire a cleaning person.
Would it change your life?
That much money probably would, yes.
Would you save any of it?
Yes.
Would it change your current relationship?
No. At least not the one with my husband. I am not sure how it might affect my friends.
Would you quit your job?
Yes.
Would you ever work again?
I would continue to write. But I might be the newspaper owner instead of the freelance writer.
What one task would you never do again?
Clean the toilet.
What dream of yours would you be able to do?
More travel.
Would you change the way you dress?
Yes.
Would you change anything about your body?
Yes. I would go spend time at a fat farm if I could find one.
Would you miss anything about not being rich?
No.
Who would be the first person you tell?
My husband.
Would it bring you happiness?
I doubt it. But it would be nice to give it a try.

The Weird Question Meme, Part One
Q. Do you wear slippers?
A. Yes. Well, I call them slippers but they are actually moccasins.
Q. How many pictures are in your living room?
A. You know, I have to go look. Hang on a minute . . . this is what is on my walls in that room: two pictures (one of Hollins University done by P Buckley Moss and another of a rustic scene), a duo of dulcimers, and a shadow box of firefighter memorabilia which also hangs with the iconic photo of the firefighters raising the US flag in New York after the attack on the World Trade Center.
Q. Do you ever watch Brady Bunch reruns?

A. I'm self-employed. I never call in anything, I just do what I want.
Q. Have you ever been in a car accident?
A. Yes. One year I was in three of them, none of them my fault. The scariest was when I was rear-ended on the interstate, simply because of the location. I was on an overpass and there was nowhere to go. The worst was when I nearly totalled my Taurus in the mid-1990s. That one was sort of my fault, but the judge did not convict me for it because there were extenuating circumstances.

A. When I was in high school, I was with the band and we were in Bristol, TN for a competition. While we were eating in a diner, a tornado came through. We couldn't actually see it but the winds were so bad that we all got up and moved away from the windows. Afterward, we took the bus to the competition site and could see the tornado's path down the side of a small mountain. It tore an outdoor movie theater right in half.
Q. If you won a million dollars, what would you buy first?
A. A new car. I plan to replace my Camry with a Camry, but if I had more funds I might go for an Avalon or a Cadillac. I'd have to drive the cars first to see how I liked them, though.

Sunday Stealing - Meme Questions
From Sunday Stealing: the fairy tale meme
Snow White: Do you consider yourself pretty? Name the part of your body you think is the most beautiful!
A. I do not consider myself pretty, nope. I have nice skin, though. As I have aged it is not as nice as it used to be but it is still fairly decent.
Cinderella: What is your shoe size?
A. It's the appropriate one for my feet.
Sleeping Beauty: How many hours do you sleep each night?
A. Generally 7 to 8. I usually get up at least once during the night.
Little Red Riding Hood: What is your favorite food?
A. Chocolate, apparently. That seems to be what I have the most trouble giving up. My favorite veggie is green beans. My favorite fruit is watermelon. My favorite meat is chicken (it used to be fish until I started having weird reactions to seafood). My favorite grain is rice.
The Frog Prince: What do you find disgusting?
A. Vomit or the act thereof, poop jokes, things that boys do, and politics.
Jack and the Beanstalk: What plants are in your room?
A. I have an artificial flower arrangement of yellow flowers in my office. Because of my allergies I long ago rid the house of real plants - mold in the dirt was causing problems.
Puss in Boots: Do you have a pet? Do you want one?
A. I have a herd of cows. They are not pets but they are my animals. I do not want another pet of any kind.
Rumpelstiltskin: What is the meaning of your url?
It means "this blog at blogspot." The blog title, which I think is what this question is really asking, means "Blue Ridge Mountains, Living in the Country, and the World is Magic to Me."
The Little Mermaid: Can you sing?
A. La la la la la. Yes. I also play guitar. I don't do either as much or as well as I used to.
Pinocchio: What is your greatest wish?
A. This is a hard one. But I think my greatest wish is to be acknowledged and to feel like I matter. Or maybe that is my greatest need, and my greatest wish is something else.
Peter Pan: What is your (mental) age?
A. I think I'm about 22. If you're interested in some personality testing and would like to know your emotional age, check out this link. Be aware the tests can be long, and I'm not responsible if you click on a link that says "pay up." I'm not being paid to promote this, I just like personality tests.
The Star Money: What is your most prized possession?
A. This is tough, too. I don't value things all that much and most of them are replaceable. But I would have to say my computer, or my backup hard drive, because it has so much of my writing and photography on it, and that would be difficult if not impossible to replicate if I lost it all. After that, I would say my diploma, which is representative of my education.
Snow White: Do you consider yourself pretty? Name the part of your body you think is the most beautiful!
A. I do not consider myself pretty, nope. I have nice skin, though. As I have aged it is not as nice as it used to be but it is still fairly decent.
