When my hubby had a nightmare that his deceased wife was coming to get him - she had fire coming out of her eyes and mouth - she said "you're next" and he woke me up with all the noise he was making - shortly after that he was diagnosed with oral cancer.

Do you remember very much of your teenage years and if so, were they happy or sad?
I remember everything, and my teenage years were both happy and sad in minor extremes. That is, my emotions those years seemed a swinging pendulum of a well-wound, just not overly-strained clock. Now I understand myself in those days better than ever, or I simply have 20/20 hindsight. Anyway, I will always miss some of those days and forget the rest of them.

What's you favorite experience of youth?

Going to the cottage in the summer and going out on Lake Simcoe in my Dad's boat - it was wonderful

Do you think you will live to a 'ripe old age'?

In terms of odor I don't have to think. Seriously, family genetics might grant me a few more years than average ripe.

Are you like John Denver when he says that it turns him on to think of growing old?

Yes, it happens. It's okay, I never do anything for anyone that I would expect anything in return. If you do, you would be disappointed. What I give I give freely.
I totally believe in the concept of 'pay it forward'.

Have you ever helped people anonymously?

I've helped people without anyone but them knowing I have, but I can't think of having helped anyone without themselves knowing. I may've helped people without myself knowing, but that's not the question, is it?

Have you ever slept on the water?

no.. I don't think so. I have to talk to people daily that I care about, to know they are ok. Just because something terrible and known to everyone isn't happening doesn't mean someone is ok.

Do you buy groceries every week , two weeks, once a month.. ?

Lately grocery shopping has been infrequent due to the diet I restarted which includes products I buy from a company. I'm saving a lot of money since when I do shop it's for fewer things, especially fewer food items. Other things, like detergent, one stocks up on.

Do you buy generics?
