A survey from Marg via Gypsy..... in These titles mean nothing.

I have a million things to write but lack the discipline to write even one of them. Bear with me please.

1: How many cars have you ever owned?
Three in my name. I prefer having access to a car without owning it or going to jail. The three:
1. The hundred dollar ‘62 Chevy bought from a want ad in the Cedar Rapids Gazette. $100 and I loved it. It shows up in some of my motherinlaw’s pictures that we looked through this week.
2. The red ‘82 (or so) Escort wagon we bought from a seed corn dealer in Plain View MN for $710. It was supposed to be $750 but it needed a battery so he took $40 off. I loved that car too.
3. My newest car, the gray ‘92 Escort Pony I bought from a dealer for about $5000 in 1995. Son took it to the city for his first job (current job) and brought it back with cigarette burns in the upholstery. He had it detailed though. I loved that car as well.

2: Can you do math in your head well?
Maybe. Sometimes. Used to be better. Or was I? I love math but I am not the most accurate person in the world.

3: what is your least favorite chore to do around the house?
I don’t like any housekeeping chore. Actually PREFER to wash dishes than do a lot of things.

4: what is your favorite flavour of potato chips?
I don’t like potato chips much. Like beer I have to be in such a good mood to drink/eat that I may as well not. Cheesy sour cream. There you dragged it out of me.

5: Do you ever read the weather forecast?
I don’t care much about it - am somewhat likely to google weather and zip code when I really feel the need to know.

6: Do amusement park rides make you sick?
I hate amusement parks.

7: who is your favorite Star Wars character?
I feel the same way about Star Wars as I do about amusement parks.

Sharp cheddar.

Wisconsin public in the car, Minnesota rarely.

10: who was the last person to give you a gift?
I don’t remember.

11: how old were you when you got your driver’s license?
Sixteen and three fourths. Catholic school kids had to make special arrangements for driver’s training and I never did. I had to count on my boy friend and my dad to teach me. I wasn’t the best pupil.

12: what was the first thing you ever learned to cook?
My mom made me make cookies at a fairly early age.

13: when was the last time you got a haircut?
A year ago last March I gave myself a fairly serious chop off. It’s pretty much grown again though I trim bangs once in a while.

Scrabble, some time ago.

19: Do you leave good tips when you eat out at restaurants?
I try to tip generously. I appreciate having food brought to me. Sometimes one person pays and the other leaves a tip - that kind of spreads the burden.
