if you were on death row and they offered you 1 final meal, what would you choose?

Honestly, despite loving gourmet food and cooking it, I'd ask for something like four pork roll egg and cheese sandwiches and an entire box of vanilla cream filled donuts. Good ones. I mean, why not? If I died of a heart attack from them, then that would be a mercy.

If you could fly anywhere you like next week and have a fully paid (on someone elses's dime) vacation, where would it be?

The Moon.

Have you ever one of those challenges like the ice bucket challenge or the 10,000 calorie challenge? If not, would you?

What is the most physical pain you have ever felt?

A: I guess I've been rather lucky since I've never had any severe injuries, but I had a pretty rough car crash once. I couldn't get in/out of bed by myself. It was the worst pain I'd felt. It wasn't constant, but hurt a lot none the less. -- actually, I take all that back. Any and EVERY migraine I've ever had.

Actually, scratch that too -- Migraine for constant, never stopping pain. when the nerve in my tooth died was the worst, instantaneous, pulsating, on-and-off pain ever for me.

Q: Have you ever broken a bone, how many and when?

I broke my ankle when a mean girl in a cross country meet pushed me down when i was 15. I actually didn't know it was broken until an xray 25 years later. I was running on it 2 days later. I also broke a finger playing softball when I was 9. That hurt a lot more oddly.

Have you ever been in the hospital for something besides psych?

I don't dislike it but I don't love it either. I use to dress-up as a kid but as an adult I'm like no way! I don't like mingling with others either. My Sister and I do a Halloween night where we watch a few films, drink and eat.

Question; How do you cope with change? Change in routine, change in seasons, change in moods?

If at all possible, I try to avoid too many simultaneous changes. As for handling one or two at a time, I try to concentrate on any good aspects. Sometimes change is a good and welcome thing in life. We all need to grow and/or be challenged. Obvious very negative ones don't always have many positives about them, especially with depression or major anxiety. Even then, I try to use coping tools and know the challenge will ease.

Which household chore or type of errand do you dislike most?

Oh hands down, vacuuming. It’s really hard on my back. The other one I hate is making the bed, also hard on my back.

What would you build if you had unlimited resources?

I can't say I will never try my few least favorite foods again. Occasionally I give things a third or more try. Also, if I am served a disliked food as a guest, I try to eat at least a little. I won't downright refuse it, unless it's presented as a choice vs. a sole main course. As for never wish to try, I doubt there would be many. I suppose I would unequivocally refuse eating certain bugs, especially alive, or anything still living. OR something like monkey or dolphin, or an endangered species. Also, no cannibalism or total inedibles (i.e. a car or plastic bottle). And I sure as heck wouldn't eat my pet, even if starving to death, yet maybe another person's pet? I really am among the best of sports when it comes to eating.

What is an activity or sport you would never do, even if a huge payment would be offered for doing so?

A: Not nearly enough -- I'll be honest, it is a chore for me to do even self-hygiene related tasks. My health is generally good, and I have to be thankful for that. But I pay very little attention to it, or methods to take care of it.

Q: If you had to lose one of your senses, which would it be?

maybe I'd pick smell
I have such a strong sense of smell that little things actually smell a lot worse to me

example: I could be out walking after a rainstorm, and the after smell could give me a headache, even though to most people it's quite comforting. I've smelled some really gross things over the years, so I don't think it would be missed too much.

which would you choose. an extra arm, or an extra leg..

Sort of once. My uncle had a horse and once he helped me up onto it. My uncle sort led the horse with me on it. I like horses, but was sort of scared being high on top of one.

Which do you like better, snow or rain?

In absence of a new question I'll say that I would love to be able to compete on the show Jeopardy. However, I think the stress of such exposure would be hard on me. I might look too anxious and maybe have poor recall as a result. But I am pretty good at the game. Not mega champ level, but likely better than most people. I have a good knowledge of many things with just some exceptions. I am also very good at naming bands or composers after only a few notes played. I wow my husband with that.

What board or other type of game (including card games) are you fairly good at?

I’m just so-so at board games but love playing games. Long ago when I lived in the twin cities I had a game night once a month. We even played the Barbie date dame which I found at a thrift store! Ha it was a fun night. We mostly played a trivia game where you collected triangles for a circle.

Did you ever throw a game night for friends or family?

We have game night when my nieces stay for the weekend. Usually we place apples to apples (love that game) and sometimes other games.

Do you feel like a control freak about things in your life?

No, that's not really my way. Though I wouldn't call my husband one, he does tend to make more decisions than I do. However, he doesn't reject suggestions or feedback and I do sometimes come up with major ideas that are followed through with. I am an idea person. So is Hubby. Occasionally I feel a little rebellious when he's a bit stubborn, but not often. We both generally have a laissez-faire attitude towards life.

How old were you when you first started feeling independent from your parents?
