  • 1.) Are you a cat person or dog person? Dog

    2.) Worst thing you've ever smelled? When I worked in the hospital, there were many foul oders; however, the worst had to be the smell of necrotic tissue on a diabetic foot.  Ick!  (I know, a bit TMI)

    3.) Kool Aid or Crystal Lite? Wow, I haven't had Kool Aid in years (you are so bringing back memories).  I would have to say Kool Aid growing up but Crystal Lite now as an adult - although I'd probably choose water over both.

    4.) Margaritas - on the rocks (w/ or w/out salt?) or frozen? Both - depending on my mood.

    5.) Most annoying sound (nails on chalkboard, etc.) Definitely the nail on the chalkboard...and the sound of a sandal or flip-flop hitting the back of the heel as you walk.

    6.) If you were stranded on an island and had to take 3 family members with you, who would you take? DH, mom and dad - I'm an only child so that made my choice a bit easier.

  • 1.) Are you a cat person or dog person? I am an animal person, i will take any animal any time.

    2.) Worst thing you've ever smelled? My DH likes to buy turkey meet from discount amish stores. It comes frozen and is the most stomach turning shade of gray. When he cooks it I have to leave the house because it smells so horrible. Sometimes I really wish he was not such a cheap skate.

    3.) Kool Aid or Crystal Lite? Crystal Lite

    4.) Margaritas - on the rocks (w/ or w/out salt?) or frozen? On the rocks with salt.

    5.) Most annoying sound (nails on chalkboard, etc.) My Basset Hounds morning whine.
