1. What was the last movie you saw? Was it good?

"Zero Dark Thirty" I do not think I fully understood it. The film is a bit long-winded, and I feel to sleep during part of it.

2. What was the last thing you bought at the store?
A Wall-Mart knock brand of Glade air fashioner.

3. What is your favorite Christmas song?
Maybe 'Silent Night"

4. Do you have a holiday family tradition?
The family gets together every Christmas. We have a big dinner, and attend church. The kids have their toys on Christmas day. I have always tried to make Christmas is holy day, yet my grand-daughter thinks it is a holiday.
Remember, I once said culture is three generations deep?

5. What is your favorite vegetable?
All the green leafy vegetables. As well, the small green peas, and I like Okra, not fried. I love tomatoes too :)

6. What was the last sale item you bought?
The Blu-ray of the movie I saw. There is another, "The Help" and I have to say it really was that way once!

7. Why did the chicken cross the road? ( "To get to the other side" replies not accepted.)
I may have been chasing it with a hatchet.

8. What is your favorite television show of all time?
Probably a news show. There was a time I liked Steve Allen and Carson. There was a time I liked some of the early sit-cons.

9. If you could bring any former style back in to fashion, what would it be?
Oh, well, here goes. I liked the clothes style of the 1950s. Some of the 80s fashions were nice too.

10. Who is your hero and why? (Somebody besides Jesus.)
My husband because he impacted my life is a very good way.

1. What was the last movie you saw? Was it good?
'Jenny's Wedding' - it actually was pretty good.

2. What was the last thing you bought at the store?
Two new cutting heads for my electric razor.

3. What is your favorite Christmas song?
"We Three Kings" - by The Brothers Cazimero

4. Do you have a holiday family tradition?
We each bring an inexpensive gift, put them all under tree, and we play a fun game where we draw numbers, and then each pick one from under the tree, open it, and then can keep it, or forcibly trade it for one someone else has already opened. It's a riot, with my family.

5. What is your favorite vegetable?
Broccoli.

6. What was the last sale item you bought?
see above

7. Why did the chicken cross the road? ( "To get to the other side" replies not accepted.)
Life demands action.

8. What is your favorite television show of all time?
The original "Connections" series back in the early 80s was pretty spectacular.

9. If you could bring any former style back in to fashion, what would it be?
I think we should all dress comfortably. Good looking people look good in anything, and the rest of us just are what we are, regardless. So lets stop wasting money chasing fashion.

10. Who is your hero and why? (Somebody besides Jesus.)
Anyone who chooses love and peace over selfishness and vengeance is a hero, to me. I have known quite a few folks in my life that I have seen do this, when it was difficult for them to do. And they are all heroes in my book!

10. I really don't have a "hero". I don't believe in hero worship. But there are a few historical figures I do admire. Probably the one I admire most is Jackie Robinson. He fought against racial biogtry from all sides, not just white racists. He had a famous public feud with Malcolm X, telling him that his black separatist views were wrong. Everyone knows about Robinson's baseball career but he accomplished quite a bit after he retired from baseball as well. He became a corporate executive, opened a bank in Harlem to give black people fair loans, and he would sent chastizing telegrams and letters to Presidents when Robinson felt they weren't doing enough about the racial problems in America. He certainly wasn't perfect but he had courage and strength which stemmed from his Christian beliefs.

2. What was the last thing you bought at the store?

Antibiotic and steroid for my sinus infection.

Probably my dad. Called me an hour ago to say we probably shouldn't come down to see them for Christmas because he just had a chunk of skin cancer cut off his nose. He's missing one nostril and looks like Lon Chaney Sr. "I wasn't getting any prettier anyway," he said.
