2. What is the next big dollar purchase you are planning to make??
Hmmm…I’m not really planning on one right now. I guess it would be some new luggage for our overseas travels next year.

3. You have $100,000 to spend on friends. How would you spend it??
I think I’d spend it on giving them something they’ve always wanted that isn’t crazy expensive. And I’d probably throw a trip in there, for all of us to take – a nice cruise to somewhere warm, like the Bahamas or Hawaii, and a stay right on the beach for as long as the money lasted.

4. You have $5,000 to spend on your significant  other. How would  you spend it?
I think I would buy them a new television – as big as that would buy.

5. What is your favorite waste of time ?
Oh, definitely Farmville. I keep telling myself I’m done with it, but it’s such a great way to kill time.

Bonus: Tell us about the most mischievous  thing you did as a kid.
Well, let’s see. I wasn’t terribly mischievous when I was little. Wild, but not mischievous. Maybe hiding my sister’s school papers so she had to turn them in late?

1. I think more favorably about a candidate who has family, such as a spouse and kid(s)? True or False
False. I’ve never really thought that their having a family made any difference.

2. I am more likely to support a candidate who has my same religious beliefs?? True or False
False. I wouldn’t vote for (or against) a candidate based on religious beliefs alone.

3. I am skeptical of anyone running for any type of office if they are devoutly religious.?
a. I agree
b. I somewhat agree
c. I disagree
b. I somewhat agree. If it seems like they’ll put their religion above the law, then I’m skeptical, yes.

4. If a candidate has a sex scandal, I will not vote for them.?
a. True
b. False
b. False. It seems like everyone’s had a sex scandal. It has much more to do with their ideas, plans, etc. than who they’re fucking on the sly.

5. If a candidate was involved in a sex scandal more than a decade ago:?
a. I don’t care, it will not affect my view of the candidate
b. Scandal is scandal, I cannot support that candidate
c. Everyone has sex, sex is not scandalous, I don’t care about a candidate’s sex life?
d. For me to be swayed by a candidate’s sex scandal it would have to be something huge, heinous and against humanity
I’d go for a) and d). It won’t affect my view of the candidate…normally…but if it was something truly that bad, it probably would affect my view.

6. I like when candidates call each other names and get into negative verbal sparring.?
a. Yes – It’s exciting to know the dirt
b. No – It’s a waste of time, I learn nothing about either candidate
b. It can be funny at times, but it really doesn’t address the issues I want to hear about.

7. Do you vote? Why or why not?
Absolutely yes. I’ve voted ever since I’ve been able. I think it’s important, it’s my right, and if I don’t vote then I don’t have a right to bitch about who’s elected. I despise the electoral system for the presidential election, but each vote truly matters at every other level.

8. When it comes to campaign ads, which kind do you respond to:?
a. Negative ads
b. Positive ads
I think probably a) negative, more than positive. Especially if they’re negative and humerous, because I think they catch my attention more.

9. Has a campaign ever swayed your vote?
It has, a few times. For example, I remember seeing one of the candidates for president many years ago, and that rally trip made me realize there was no way in hell I was going to vote for that person. I never changed my opinion of them, and one of the other candidate’s campaigns was so much better that it swayed my vote towards them.

10. Do you pay attention to who placed/paid for the ad?
I never used to, but I do now. I was watching a few the other night, and I looked up the PACs that had made them.

Bonus: Select all that you agree with, select as many or as few as you like.?
a. U.S. Presidential campaign lasts way too long
b. U.S. candidates for President waste a lot of money
c. 2016 U.S. Presidential Race is a steaming pile of poo!
I agree with all 3, although I think c) is a bit mild. The presidential campaign goes on much too long – I was pretty well sick of it months ago. I think it’s crazy how much money it costs to run for president, and that money determines so much in the election. It’s also unfortunate that only 2 parties are given air time and access to the debates – if the candidates who were on the ballot in every state were allowed to debate, I think things might change. And I can’t even be glad after I go, with good conscience, to cast my vote tomorrow, because it won’t really end tomorrow…I suspect things will be bitter, accusatory, and probably worse, no matter which of the candidates win.

2. The world is ending (or you are on death row), what would be your last meal?
A nice, medium-rare filet mignon, with garlic butter, almonds & green beans, mushrooms in a wine sauce, and a glass of dry wine.

3. You must join a gang/crew, of the choices below, which gang would you join and why??
a. Rue Bella and the Annie Depressants – a crew of drag queens?
b. Aryan Brotherhood of white supremacist?
c. Secret Society of The Order of Chaeronea – fostering an understanding and acceptance of gay community and lifestyle
d. Free Hugs club – monthly membership requirement of hugging 10 strangers a month?
e. Quidditch Club – Mandatory game every Sunday. (Not a Harry Potter fan, read this for more info ).
I’d go with e) Quidditch Club – I think it would be fun to play that every Sunday.

4. Who makes the best leader of a country–your mom or dad? Why?
I think it would be my Dad. He was liked by everyone, was always calm, and would really have the temperament for it.

5. If you could abolish one piece of modern technology, what would it be and why?
Hmmm…that’s a tough one. I think I would abolish driverless semi trucks. Until the time when these trucks are on highways where no one is driving/in the vehicles, I think it’s dangerous, and I wouldn’t want to be on the road with one of them.

Bonus: Will you (or have you) celebrate Halloween this year? What did you do?
I didn’t celebrate much – I did a bit of decorating, but no costume. I wanted to make up some Lucille bats for work, but I ran out of time, and I couldn’t find anything to use for the barbed wire.
