1. How often do you get sick?
2. Do you take a lot of over the counter medicine?
3. Have you ever been in the hospital for an extended period of time?
4. Are there any diseases that run in your family?
5. What is the best remedy for the common cold?


1. I rarely ever get sick. Maybe once or twice a year for a day or two at the most.
2. NO. I hate to take any medicine at all. Aspirin is about it and robitussin when I am desperate.
3. 2 1/2 days for major surgery (both times)
4. There are quite a few. You just deal with the risks.
5. Grandma Nell's Cure: Take a bottle of good bourbon or whisky and immediately drink 1/3 of it. Then pour 1/3 out into a mason jar and add honey (to taste) Halls Mentholyptus cough drops, red hots and lemon juice. Fill a coffee cup about 1/2 full with strong hot tea and add the above mixture (you can add extra bourbon if needed ) and drink. Providing you can keep it down it works well. According to Uncle Ralph it's pretty darned good in orange juice as well but I never had the guts to try it.

1. My husband Jon. He's a truly good person 99.5 % of the time.
2. I usually manage to disappoint myself.
3. Intolerant people make me angry so right now it's my father.
4. EVERYONE ! I literally laugh at everthing.
5. My family. Right, wrong, or indifferent we've stuck it out through some rough times.

1) How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
2) How few can you get by on and still function if you really had to?
3) When in your life did you get the least amount of sleep in a regular basis?
4) In a perfect world, how many hours per night would you actually get?
5) Morning person or night owl and has this changed over time?


1) I get about 7 hours a night. Jon snores so it's sometimes less.
2) I have gotten by with 4 hours a night but it's been a few years. I'm really grumpy when that happens.
3) 2 times...when I was going to college and working as a cocktail waitress in the 80s and then in the 90's when I finished my degree and held down the farm. I had to sleep in installments then ... 2 or 3 hours at night and a nap in the afternoon if I could.
4) I LOVE sleep. Nothing regenerates me more. I'd have 8 hours at night and a one to two hour nap in the afternoon.
5) ALWAYS a morning person. I love being up before the sunrise when the house is quiet and I can have time to myself.
