50 Questions

I got this off of Mellowdee’s Blog.
I really get a kick out of this sort of thing.
If you opened this, copy and paste to a new page. Then change the answers to your own, and send it to your friends! Learn 50 things about your friends, and let them learn 50 things about you!

2. What are you reading now? This freaking blog. Just finished an autobiography by Steve Martin called Born Standing Up.

3. Do you own a gun? No. Unless you count the one I was born with. (Used to be a Howitzer, but it’s pretty much a pea shooter now.)

4. Are you registered to vote? DO you vote? Yes and yes.

5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? Depends. I wasn’t exactly thrilled about the recent colonoscopy. But, in general, I don’t mind going to the doctor. I like her.

These are great Orville!!! This is Lucille. I hated that my middle name when I was in high school. Some of the guys found out and would start singing the then popular song "You Picked A Fine Time To Leave Me Lucille" by Waylon Jennings.

Oh, some of these had me laughing... like 10 and 44. I can't believe that you buy Mary a rose every week! Wow! Well, actually given the way you speak of her, I suppose I can believe it. Lucky lady!
