1. Would you rather live in a world with or without technology such as computers, cars, airplanes, bombs?
  2. I would prefer to live with them. I know there are positives and negatives for it all but it comes down to the personal for me: I can keep in touch with my grandparents, aunts, uncles, siblings, friends, and lovers who live great distances from me. I can visit, e-mail, call, etc. This technology gives me a less parochial view of the world and a great understanding of those who may live in a different type of environment than I do.

  3. If you had to live without either heating in your house or air conditioning, which one would you keep?
  4. Considering where I live, I have to have heating. I don’t have air conditioning and I don’t really miss it. We get nice breezes in the summer and my ceiling fan keeps it cool enough. If my bones get cold, I can’t get warm. If I get hot, I take a cool shower. Easy choice for me.

  5. If you had to own five dogs, what kind would you get?
  6. I have a beagle and I’d take another in a heartbeat. I love German Sheperds, foxhounds, greyhounds, malamutes, and labs.

  7. If the world had a front porch, what would you do on it?
  8. Oh, if only! Sit, drinking lemonade, waving to the neighbors, taking pictures of the life around me, and relaxing and enjoying life.

  9. Would you rather live in a neighborhood where you know all of your neighbors by name, or where everyone sticks to their own business?
  10. I do know most of my neighbors by name…and we all stick to our own business, too. I know they are there if I need them but know that they won’t intrude if it’s not imperative. It’s a nice, happy medium.
