Because I Can

Why am I so attracted to these stupid questionnaires (this one currently circulating around on FB)?  Because I like "talking" about myself?  Because I like learning more about YOU?  Because I have time to burn?

Well, probably yes, a little (after all, I DO have a blog - or three!); yes, MOST DEFINITELY; and, no (insert hysterical laughter!), but it is my Sunday today, and I deserve the time it will take to do this.

Now, add a question that YOU'd like to ask!  Here's mine:

101.  If you could choose ANY amount of money (within "reason") needed to change your daily life (pay your bills and give you enough to live on for a while), how much would that be?  For me, $500,000 would do it.  I think I could pay all my debts, buy what I wanted (a new truck and have a barn built) and live on that for about 10 years . . . assuming I had NO other income during that time.  (Hey, if we're gonna dream, we may as well dream BIG, right?!)

  1. P.S. I should have said, "Including my question and your answer, now add a question that YOU'd like to ask!" I'd have included #101, you'd do #102, Mama Pea would include #103 . . . and so on.
