1. Do you ever go on the fridge in your friend’s house and get yourself something to drink or do you ask for something?
Mostly I wait to be offered unless I see an open bottle of wine on the counter - then it's clear what the protocol is.

2. Do you bring some socks with you when you are invited for a movie in your friend’s house so you can put of your shoes?
I have one friend who doesn't like you to wear shoes in her house, so I always make sure I'm wearing socks when I visit. This is a strange custom to me though. I've never cared so much about whether or not you wear shoes in my house.

We've been as far west as Oklahoma and Nebraska and Kansas, as far east at the Carolinas, but yes, on our collective bucket list: Montana, South Dakota, Boston, New York....so many places we'd like to go and we're getting older by the minute.

10. Do you like to play board games/party games for example Monopoly, Phase 10 etc.
I love to play board games, but my kids don't really enjoy playing them with me. I like jigsaw puzzles.

Excellent questions Niro!
