1. Have you ever been to a fortune teller? If yes, what happened?

Nope. I have been one in a couple of places, strictly for fun. I don't believe in this, so what's the point in wasting my money?

2. How do you cope in an uncomfortable social situation?

I make jokes or try to blend into the scenery. Kinda depends on the reason for the situation.

3. A genie appears (of course). She asks, “If you had 3 wishes but each took 3 years off your life, what would you wish for and why?”

Can I pick which three years to remove? Cuz otherwise, I think I'll go without the wishes. If I can, then I'd want enough money to pay off our mortgage, a clone of my former boss to take over from my current boss, and child abusers to all suddenly stop doing that forever.

4. Would you rather lose your soul mate or never meet them at all?

I don't really believe in soul mates either, but I suppose I'd rather have met than not.

5. What is the hardest thing that you have ever had to do?

Keep moving when all I want to do is stop. Or, stop doing something when I want to keep going.

6. Have you ever had a miracle happen to you or your loved ones?

Yes. My sister never should have survived aplastic anemia OR been able to have kids, and there is at least one incident in the car that should have ended in a horrendous crash and didn't.

7. Tell us about a quote that you can relate to. Why can you relate with it?

"Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a harder battle." (Plato) The minister of my church when I was a kid used to say something like this at the end of every worship service. It's a good reminder to stop navel-gazing and be aware that everyone has stuff to deal with.

8. What personality trait has gotten you into the most trouble?

My big mouth. Is that a personality trait? OK, my tendency to jump to conclusions and not back down.

9. For those in The States, how was your Turkey Day? If not from the US, do you celebrate a day like Thanksgiving?

We had an excellent day Thursday and I'm thankful for those who were able to be here with us for the meal and fun times. I found out that a good friend is a girl: "she's got those...things" according to my eldest nephew. He's 38.
