1. What's something people might ask you for help with?

Since I work with dogs, I get a fair amount of questions about dogs and why they do what they do and how to make it stop.
I also get questions about how they can have the type of husband that I have.  I have a Godly man who takes his vows seriously and was trained well by his parents and grandparents.  I love that man.

2. What's something you might ask someone else for help with?

When I'm thinking of making a large purchase I will ask for recommendations.  I will ask for help finding something on the Internet as well.

3.  Did your family take summer vacations when you were a child? If so, where did you go? If you're a parent, did/do you plan summer vacations with your own family? Did/do they resemble those you took as a child?

We did take day trips as a kid so we would go to the beach or something.  We didn't go anyplace where we would spend the night in a hotel or travel out of state.  My parents didn't have that kind of money.
When the kids were small we did go to Canada for a week which was so much fun and we have traveled out of state for a week or more.  So our vacations do not resemble those I had as a kid.

4.   Pool-lake-ocean...which one is most appealing to you on a hot summer day?

Lake or pool.  The ocean water up here is very cold still, even on these hot days and it's too crowded.  I like that the lake is less crowded.  A pool would be nice as well.

5.  Have you ever justified using the expression, 'you gotta be cruel to be kind'?  Was it really necessary or were you rationalizing?

No I have never used that expression.

6.  The Journal of Psychology recently mentioned the results of a survey identifying the ten most hated foods as-liver, lima beans, mayonnaise, mushrooms, eggs, okra, beets, brussel sprouts, tuna, and gelatin.  Of those foods, how many do you actually hate? Anything you'd add to the list? 

I do not like liver or okra but the rest is fine. I really like brussel sprouts!  I would add to the list Tripe - my dad would cook it and eat it and the smell alone is just vile!  I would also add Haggis, I may be Scottish but I don't like ALL things Scottish.

7. What's your favorite book or movie set in a beach or lake town?

"Gidget" comes to mind because it's a cute movie and so is "Splash" for the same reason.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
I've been away from blogging for a while and I really want/need to get back to it as soon as I have the energy. I'm beginning to feel better and I'm trying to help Hubby with all the stuff he has been in charge of for so long.  He has done a fantastic job, even hunting the cobwebs down and cleaning them away.  He has taken over so much and does so much that as soon as I have energy, I try to help out and do something. Sometimes I will start laundary and he will finish it.  Or I'll do the dishes after dinner but he will clean off the counters and take care of the trash.  Anyhow, I'm trying to take back some of the chores so I'm slow at doing them and then I'm tired so I need a short nap.  I am really finding out just how much of a fight Cancer really is.  So I'll be back as my energy increases folk, really I will.
