The 40 Questions Email

I've been tagged by Jen of Casual Slack for the following meme. When Jen speaks, I listen. She's quite the task master...

1. Do you still have tonsils? Yes. And they shall remain in place until I die. 2. Would you bungee jump? No. Stupid I'm not. 3. If you could do anything in the world for a living what would it be? Run my very own morning talk show. 4. How many tattoos do you have? Zippo. Way too permanent a move. I'm fickle. 5. Your favorite fictional animal? I'll get back to you on this... 6. One person that never fails to make you laugh? Me! I crack myself up regularly. 7. Do you consider yourself well organized? You've got to be kidding. 8. Any addictions?

I don't have to answer to anyone but me because I work for myself. 17. Have you ever gone to therapy? No. But what a good idea. 18. If you could have one super power what would it be? The power to restore good health to everyone who is ill. 19. Do you own any furniture from Ikea? Yep, a kitchen cart, a computer cart, and a bookcase. 20. Have you ever gone camping? Once, and never again. After the first day I moved to a first-class hotel. haha! 21. Gas prices! First thought? Europeans have been paying about $5 to $7 for gas for years.

Disney or Warner Bros? Warner 34. What is your best childhood memory? Visiting the guy who worked in a factory and who pulled the 12:00 whistle that was heard for miles and miles around.

They are as close to "scrumptious" as hot dogs can get.
