Indeed, I do ... but they seem to like me less and less as I age (gracelessly) with the world.

Why are you here?
Ah yes - one of the great philosophical question of the ages

I am here to enjoy life, help others when possible and sometimes just be a form of entertainment - hey - if you can't laugh at yourself, who can you laugh at?

But seriously - why am I here on this Board? (Perhaps I am a bit addicted I suppose) - I am here because it's the greatest message board on the internet

My question (and don't get all serious and political) SVP:

Now that Trump has been inaugurated, are you feeling more hopeful that he will be okay as a president after all?

Yes, I feel hopeful.

Have you ever cried in public?

My dad was disabled for 15 years due to a back injury. He was in constant pain and could barely walk. During a revival at church a preacher laid hands on him and prayed. Next thing I know he's running, jumping and touching his toes. The whole church, who knew his predicament, were crying.

What was your first car?

An old Dodge Aries from my paternal grandparents.

Were your parents strict when you were growing up?

If you don't count military bases (and I honestly don't know how big most of them are), probably Thermopolis, WY. I think the population is about 3K.

If you could live anywhere, which place would you choose?
Somewhere in Montana. Billings, Bozeman, Whitefish, I don't care. I fell in love with that place.

Has a doctor's receptionist ever been rude to you?

Kalispell, MT is lovely. I've been through there a couple of times and both times decided that I could live there :)

I can't think of one that has, but I've been going to my doc for almost 30 years and I know everyone there :)

What's the pet that you remember most, good or bad?

Bad: a litter of four cats from hell. When we left them alone they reeked havoc on our apartment. Climbing curtains, running around on table, pawing a pot of cooking chili and exploring.

Good: a black Pekingese named Rambo. He was a gentle dog and cute but had an awful wheeze. Typical of the breed. He got sick and had to be euthanized.

Have you ever had to broach the subject of a co-worker's bad hygiene?

I've never been in the unfortunate position to have to broach it with them, but I have been delegated to bring it up to a supervisor who then had to approach the coworker. I felt bad for the hygiene guy--he was super nice, but never seemed to bathe or brush his teeth. After the supervisor took him aside (VERY privately--she handled it well), he did a 180. Apparently he really hadn't given it much thought up until that point.

Have you ever had to approach someone with information that could be taken very badly?

I guess that question could be taken in many directions but what jumps to mind is the death of my grandmother's sister. I had to go to my grandmother's house and tell her. I knocked, let myself inside, and called for my grandmother. The house was silent and she appeared with a knowing look. She quickly began cleaning counters, offering me a plate of food, talking, talking, talking, no eye contact. "Nanny!" I said. She stopped and looked at me. Before I could tell her what happened her face crumpled and she slowly slumped onto the bar, hands over face, shoulders shaking. Then came her gut wrenching sounds. It was awful.

Have you ever lost a parent?

I'm sorry you had to deliver that news, Doc. It must have been heartbreaking.

Yes, I have. My dad and brother died within six months of each other a few years back. It was a bad time--I basically lost two years where I was in a fog. I remember very little about those years--thank goodness I have a good husband or my kids would have been in real trouble.

What's the first song that comes to mind when you think of junior high?
