Sunday Seven

Name seven the "worst things in the world" that would top your list. [based on this list--which I didn't find humorous in the least, so I'll be answering with what I think are actually the worst things in the world, sorry]

In no particular order....

1. Starving children
   
   
   
   
   
2. Illness and disease
   
   
   
   
   
3. Abuse
   
   
   
   
   
4. Greed
   
   
   
   
   
5. Hatred and bigotry
   
   
   
   
   
6. War and murder
   
   
   
7. Any kind of cruelty or neglect (physical/mental/emotional, to any living creature)

1. When do you first recall learning about the Titanic disaster?

I can't point to one specific moment, but I did grow up in Denver where the Molly Brown House is a tourist attraction about a woman whose fame (in Colorado) goes well beyond the Titanic. And there was that musical, for which we had the album....

2. When did you first watch the motion picture Titanic?

I think I've seen most of it over many times it's been on TV in the past few years. I never paid to see it specifically though. Hokey. WAAAAYYY hokey.

3. Would you feel any superstition about boarding a ship that was so confidently branded as "unsinkable"?

Not superstitious. I would presume they'd done their due diligence. Yeah, because I'm that dumb.

4. Have you ever been on a cruise? If so, where did you go?

Nope. Someday.

5. If you could go on a cruise to any location on a luxury ship, which area would you most choose?

I would love to take a LONG Mediterranean cruise.

6. A handful of intended passengers had some change of plans that kept them off of the ship prior to its launch. Have you ever experienced such a "lucky break" that kept you out of an ill-fated trip?

Not that I'm aware of.

Have you or your family been affected by a natural disaster?

I can't think of anything. We've been affected by extreme cold and extreme wind, but not in a tragic way, just in a "everyone pitch in and clean up" way. Lost power for a few days once in awhile. Yeah, we've really been blessed. I just don't take chances when the sirens go off around here....
