Ever gotten a speeding ticket?
~ Yes, a couple times!

Favorite kind of sandwich?
~ I love many different sandwiches, including sandwich cookies! If I could nake the perfect sandwich it would be on a big kaiser or onion roll, have lots of rare roast beef, cheddar cheese, piled high with dill pickle slices, and have a special sauce, called Bosco Sauce, the chef use to make at my old job at Rouge Steel in Dearborn. It was a sauce primarily for the roast beef sandwiches you could ask to have added on. I wish I knew what he put in it. I asked him but can only vaguely remember him saying beef base soup, some horseradish I think, and a couple other things. I worked y here from '87 - '89. That sauce was remarkably good!
Best thing to eat for breakfast?
~ I love all sorts of things for breakfast: poached eggs with soft yolk placed upon toast, mushroom & cheese omelette's with red hot sauce to sprinkle upon it, Coco Wheat with toast torn up and scattered in the hot cereal. The breakfast would definitively include orange juice and sausage links!
What is your usual bedtime?
~ Whenever I shut my eyes for it. I have no scheduled time. I live alone, collect disability, the only place I go throughout the week is dialysis. I'd love to go to bed every night at 9:00 like my sister's family, it would be a nice habit to fall into, but I can't get myself to do it!
Are you lazy?
~ Yes, I'll admit to that
When you were a kid, what did you dress up as for Halloween?
~ Many things! I remember dressing up as Snow White, Cinderella, and the plastic masks and some strange material gowns, I dressed as a Bay City Roller one year (dome houses didn't know the Bay City Rollers and claimed I wasn't dressed up, one old man wouldn't even give n e candy! LOL) One year, the last year I went trick or treating I simply dressed as a ghost -threw a sheet over me and cut out holes for the eyes!
Do you have any magazine subscriptions?
~ Currently, no. But thinking of renewing my subscriptions to Oprah and Spirituality & Health again
Which are better, legos or lincoln logs?
~ Legos, you can make creative desk ornaments yo hive to friends!
Are you stubborn?
~ Depending on the situation
Who is better…Leno or Letterman?

~ I love musicals, always have! My favorites are Grease, Mama Mia, West Side Story, Hairspray, The King & I, the list goes on...
Is Christmas stressful?
~ Only kinda stressful because I have no money to celebrate as I wish, buy presents, maje cookies. Because of health problems I haven't sent cards for years.

Loneliness, no money, ill, most major annoyance? Depression
Occupations you wanted to be when you were a kid?
~ I wanted to be a singer, a jockey, a teacher, a publicist for The Bay City Rollers, a retreat leader, a spiritual director
Do you believe in ghosts?
~ I love ghost hunting shows, would love to be a ghost hunter myself, but I won't claim to be an absolute believer until I can positively claim I've experienced one. I'm very much an open skeptic.
