1. What was the best toy you ever owned?

A. I'll go with the set of Johnny West dolls and accessories that I had before my tweens. I lost it all in a flood at my grandmother's, but they were fun to play with.

2. When in your life have you felt the loneliest?

A. Usually in a crowd.

3. What is your strongest emotion?

A. Sadness.

4. When were you the most disappointed in yourself?

A. I was most disappointed in myself when I was unable to have children, even though that was no fault of mine. It certainly felt like a fault or a failure on my part.

5. Which law would you most like to change?

A. The Second Amendment could use a rewrite.

6. Who is the person you have hated the most in your lifetime?

A. I try really hard not to hate people. 

7. What has disappointed you the most?

A. My mother's lack of empathy and love.

8. What's the best possible attitude toward death?

A. It's going to happen to everybody sooner or later. Make the best preparations you can for your stuff. I mean, basically your body rots and other people take your stuff. That's what happens on the barest of levels. The only thing you may be able to control is what happens to your stuff.

9. What's been the longest day in your life?

A. The day my husband had his hand caught in the hay baler was a very long day.

10. What is the biggest coincidence in your life?

A. 

11. What's the oldest you'd like to live?

A. I don't know. It depends on my health. I have chronic pain and I'm not sure I want to put up with that for another 40 years to make it to 100.

12. Who is the most amazing woman you know personally?

A. I know a lot of amazing women. My friend Teresa amazes me constantly. She does all this household stuff to perfection and takes care of herself, volunteers for things. She's terrific.

13. What was your best experience in school?

A. Having Tina F. for my math teacher was by far the best experience I had in high school. She made everything better, even the math.

14. What's the most meaningful compliment you've ever received?

A. We just had this question a while back; my former editor told me I was fearless when I went after a story in my younger days. I still think about that.

15. What is the most you've spent on something really stupid?

A. I am not sure. I'll go with a guitar; I can't play but one of them at a time, I don't know why I have several. I surely do not need another.

15.    What is the strongest craving you get?

Sunday Stealing

1. Name a TV series show or shows in which you have seen every episode at least twice:

A. Xena: Warrior Princess. Star Trek (the original). Gilligan's Island. 

2. Name a show or shows you can't or would not miss:

A. There aren't any at the moment.

3. Name an actor or actors that would make you more inclined to watch a show:

A. Sandra Bullock, George Clooney. I don't know. I'm lucky I know those names.

4. Name an actor or actors who would make you less likely to watch a show:

A. Adam Sandler. Will Ferrell. Mel Gibson, Clint Eastwood. Roseanne.

5. You're having a lovely dinner party for friends and family.  What will you serve for appetizers, main course and dessert?

A. I hate to cook, honestly. I'd have a plate of shrimp w/ sauce for appetizers, meatloaf, green beans, and mashed potatoes for the main course, and cherry pie with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

6. Snowstorm! You've got house guests and you're all stuck inside for the night. What do you prepare for dinner? Will you watch a movie? Which?

A. For dinner I would prepare soup and sandwiches. If the power stays on, we could watch Lord of the Rings.

7. We are going into New York City for the weekend. Where do you want to go?

A. I'd like to see a Broadway play and visit the Statue of Liberty.

8. You are going to night school.  They offer courses in writing short stories, painting, piano or guitar lessons, simple home repairs, baking, and gardening. Which do you pick (or make up one of your own) and why?

A. I would take the writing course and the guitar lessons because I already do both and never mind learning more about either.

9. Ever been to a drive-in theater? Would you like to see drive-in theaters make a comeback?

A. I have been to the drive-in theater many times. I wouldn't mind seeing them make a comeback. They would have been very welcome during the Covid pandemic - we could have all gone to the movies and stayed in our cars.

10. Should towns provide community entertainment like bands in the park, fireworks on the 4th, community picnics or is the cost just too much?

A. I think that depends on the town and its residents. However, I think any investment in the arts and activities that add to the enjoyment of the residents of a community are worthwhile.

11. What would you change about your town if you had the power?

A. I don't live in a town. I live in a county. I like it here for the most part. If I were to change anything, I think I'd have more focus on the historic nature of the area. This was once the wild west.

12. How often do you find yourself shopping for groceries?

A. I go about twice a week. I try for once a week but we usually run out of something.

13. Do you have a favorite nighttime snack?

A. No. I try not to eat anything after 6 p.m.

14. Do you buy in bulk and what kinds of tips do you have to save money on grocery shopping?

A. I use digital coupons and store promotions. Some things I buy in bulk, like toilet paper (can't ever have too much of that), but foods I generally do not buy in bulk. They will go bad before the two of us can eat them up.

15. Let's have a picnic in the park.  What foods are we packing, and will we cook anything there or is it all prepared ahead of time?

A. We'll have fried chicken, potato salad, drinks, potato chips, green beans, deviled eggs, chocolate cake. It would all be prepared ahead, preferably by someone in a store or restaurant where I buy it already made.

2. How do you tell time? Do you use a watch or your phone and why?

3. How do you stay cool in the summer?

A. With air conditioning from a heat pump.

4. Egg yolk or white?

A. Both.

5. What is your current on-repeat song?

A. The E string on a guitar.

7. What's the must-have-items in your bag?

A. My asthma inhaler, credit cards, and a brush.

A. Tops.

9. What is the one thing you wish you could take back?

A. I am stuck with a 2014 Camry. It's not a bad car but I don't love it. We had to buy one in a hurry because the old one crapped out. The 2014 car only has 62K miles on it, so it's not going anywhere. I wish we could have taken our time and found a car I liked better.

10. What is your pet peeve?

A. At the moment, it's the lack of capital letters at the beginning of the sentences in this meme, which I am having to fix. Otherwise, I am awfully tired of really stupid people, because there seems to be a lot of them around these days.

11. Have you ever been ashamed after buying something frivolous? What?

A. I don't buy frivolous things. We have purchase rules in our house.

12. What dessert would you eat even if you were beyond full?

A. I don't know. The meringue off a pie, maybe.

13. Sweet or spicy?

A. Sweet.

14. Which website do you visit most often?

A. My google email.

15. Which countries/states have you visited and which one did you like the most?

A. I have been to Spain and France. The states I have visited include North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, Georgia, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, a bunch of the states in between Virginia and California, including Kansas and Illinois, and Wyoming.

1. If you could witness any event from history, what would it be?

A. I would like see Queen Victoria take the throne.

2. What do you think about conspiracy theories?

A. Everyone is out to get me! How dare you ask such questions! Don't you know the government sees everything? I think they're silly and sad at the same time. This meme sums it up fairly well:

3. Do you like cartoons? Do you have /had a favorite one?

A. I used to like cartoons, but I haven't watched any in a long time. I liked Bugs Bunny when I was a youngster. What's up, Doc?

4. What did you most dislike in school?

A. I disliked the cliques that formed in the schools. Seems to be the way social groups evolve, though.

5. What sounds are in your opinion relaxing? The sound of the sea? Traffic? Vacuum cleaner? Combine harvester on the field? Some kind of music? Birds singing?

A. Music is more relaxing than most of those. Bird song can be relaxing sometimes, unless it's a murder of crows cawing. I sleep with white noise - the hum of an air purifier - because I hear the refrigerator and other appliances turning off and on if I don't. 

6. What was the last thing you read?

A. The last thing I read, besides these questions, was an article about the GOP budget proposal that would raise the retirement age to 69 and it would gut Medicare, too. It also makes it federal law that life begins at conception and does away with IVF. So, if you want to work until you drop dead and not be able to pay for your medical care while you're doing that, and you want your granddaughter with fertility issues to never have a baby, vote Republican.

7. What is one thing that has stumped you so hard you won't ever forget it?

A. How Hillary Clinton lost the election in 2016.

8. What are you interested in that most people aren’t?

A. Local government. The real local government, not the craziness that some people are trying to pass off as the local government.

9. What’s something you really resent paying for?

A. Electricity. I don't mind paying something for it, but it has bloomed in price in the last 10 years and nothing I do seems to bring the usage down. I think it should not be shareholder owned, as that runs up the prices. They worry more about paying their shareholders than keeping the trees cut back so you don't have outages. 

10. If you could choose a different time period and place to be born, when and where would it be?

A. I am happy with where I am now, although if I get to come back in the future, that's ok, too.

11. What's one question you would ask Superman?

A. If he has to use deodorant. I don't know if Kreptonians sweat while they're on Earth.

12. What's your favorite smell? What's your least favorite smell?

A. My favorite smell is my husband's chest after he has had a shower. My least favorite smell is a skunk.

13. How do you feel about cars becoming fully autonomous and having no steering wheel, breaks, or accelerators?

A. I don't think I will be driving one. I do not like the idea of something without a human mind behind it driving me around.

14. What are your favorite books and authors?

A. I read all sorts of things, so I don't really have favorites. Looking back over my "books I have read" list, which I started in 2006, I see a lot of Janet Evanovich, Debbie Macomber, Sue Grafton, Stuart Woods, David Sedaris, Neil Gaiman, Nora Roberts, David Baldacci, Louise Penny, Fanny Flagg, Naomi Novik, Kate DiCamillo, Juliet Marillier, Richard Paul Evans, Lois McMaster Bujold, Tamora Pierce, etc. Tolkien's books are the only ones I reread, although I have put Heather Cox Richardson's book back in my "to read" pile to reread because I think it deserves a second look.

15. Have you had a reading or palm reading done?

A. Yes. But it was a long time ago.

A. Yes. But that doesn't mean I have to write about it.

9. What has been your best trip so far?

A. Probably my trip to Spain and France when I was 16, simply because it was out of the country. In the U.S., I enjoyed our trips to Williamsburg, VA a lot.

10. What traits (physical or personal) do people notice when they meet you for the first time?

A. I haven't any idea. I'm not especially pretty but I'm also not butt ugly. I've been told I have expressive eyes and nice skin.

11. Is social media a blessing or a curse?

A. It's what we make it.

12. What is your greatest hope for your future? What steps can you take to make it happen?

14) How do you decide whether to solve a problem as a team, or split up and go it alone?

A. It depends on the problem and the other person. I have a tendency to go it alone for most things, though.

15) Where do you store your knives and where would you look if one was missing?

A. I store my knives in a wooden block that came with the knife set. If one was missing, I'd look in the dishwasher or in the silverware drawer. And if it wasn't there, I'd ask my husband what he did with it.

8. Do you prefer ball point pens, gel pens, or thin tip markers to write with?

A. I write exclusively with a gel pen, a Pilot G-2 05. It's a fine point pen. My husband hates them but they are my favorite.

1. Have you ever smoked cigarettes?

A. I tried them when I was in high school - most kids did in the 1970s - but they weren't something I enjoyed, and I never picked them up as a habit. 

2. What do you think of hot dogs?

A. I eat the all-beef kind. I prefer what most people call a "streaker" dog - I don't put anything on mine but mustard and pickle relish. I can't eat chili, it's too hard on my stomach.

3. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?

A. Water. I drink a cup of hot water. If I'm feeling really wild, I might put a dollop of honey in it.

4. What's your favorite piece of jewelry that you own?

A. My wedding band. I also have a pair of dragon earrings that my friend gave me a long time ago that I like, but I don't wear them because they're a bit heavy.

5. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink?

A. Water, water, and water. I used to drink tea and root beer, but I haven't since the end of 2020.

6. Do you like to travel?

A. I don't mind traveling. I am the kind of traveler who prefers to go to one place and stay in the same hotel for 4-5 days as opposed to driving all over and switching hotels every night.

7. What should you be doing right now?

A. Exactly what I am doing. I am waiting on the dryer to finish drying the bed linens so I can make the bed.

8. Your phone rings. Who do you want it to be?

A. The executor of the estate some long-lost (and now dead) relative that I didn't know existed who has left me a nice chunk of change. Or maybe the Publisher's Clearing House telling me I won. Do they even do that anymore?

9. Do you like to ride horses?

A. No. We had horses when I was younger, and I found them scary. We had a pony and my father put me on it when I was 9, with only a piece of twin for a lead. The twine broke, the pony bolted with me hanging onto its mane and screaming. It turned hard and I fell off and at the least had the wind knocked out of me, but suspect I broke a rib given the pain I was in for a long time. My father insisted I get right back on the horse after he caught it, but that's a myth. I would never get back on another.

10. In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?

A. Listener.

11. What's in your pocket right now?

A. Lint.

12. Last thing that made you laugh?

A. 

13. How many TVs do you have in your house?

A. Two. We have one in the living room and one in the bedroom. The one in the bedroom is small, and we use it about three times a year, or if someone is sick in bed.

14. Who's your loudest friend?

A. I don't think I want to answer that question. There is no point in embarrassing people.

15. Favorite sports team? (If you don't have one, just state that.)

A. We root for the University of Virginia in college sports here, because everyone else roots for Virginia Tech. We like to be different. However, I have been pulling for the Virginia Tech women's basketball team this year; they are awesome, and I've even watched a game on TV. I don't have a favorite team in any of the professional leagues.

8. You love but is quite unknown.

A. "Shattered" by Linda Ronstadt.

1. What is a big dream you have for the future?

A. I would like to be healthy and not in pain. That doesn't seem like a very big dream, but for me it's huge.

2. What are your favorite hobbies?

A. Writing, reading, playing guitar, video games.

3. If you could change the world, what would you do?

A. I think that depends upon the extent of my power. In my local world, I would make newspapers relevant again and bring back humility, manners, and empathy. I would also rid the world of the scourge of social media.

4. What places have you traveled to?  What was your favorite?

A. I have been to Spain and France, and to states as far north as New York, as far south as Florida, and as far west as California. But my favorite place was Williamsburg, Virginia, which is about a 4-hour drive from me, followed by our trip to the Biltmore.

5. What is the weirdest thing you’ve ever eaten?

A. I don't know. Escargo, I guess.

6. What are your favorite places to eat?

A. Apparently home, now. We don't eat out much anymore. Many of the places we used to enjoy have either closed or changed their menu.

7. What kind of music do you like?  Talk about a favorite artist or songs.

A. I like adult pop music, like Adele, Pink, or Kelly Clarkson (to be current). Mostly, though I listen to 1970s music with Melissa Etheridge and Sheryl Crow from the 1990s thrown in for good measure.

8. What was the last book you read?

A. Walk Two Moons, by Sharon Creech. It is a Newberry Medal winner and about a young girl whose mother is no longer around.

9. If you could meet a character from a book, who would it be?

A. Nancy Drew, of course.

10. Do you prefer books or movies?  Why?

A. Books, although I like movies too. Sometimes movies are better than books, and sometimes movies are all I know of a story because I've not read the book.

11. What is something you used to be scared of, but aren’t any more?

A. I used to be scared that the constant pain in my gut was some kind of cancer, but after 10 years of living with it, and lots of tests, I know it's scar tissue.

12. What is something you were never afraid of, but are now?

A. People in my community. Some of them have formed a militia and they practice shooting at other people because they want a civil war. These are scary people.

13. What item is your most cherished possession?  Why?

A. My wedding ring.

15. Do you like working jigsaw puzzles?

A. I do, but the last one I had was so full of paper dust that I couldn't work it. It made my asthma flair.
