Her whole life. (Obviously a relative.)
5. Do you keep notes, drawings or letters that people give you?
From some people.
6. Have you ever locked yourself out of your car?
Once long ago at work... had to call AAA. My sister did it once at a gas station and called me to come help her. Fortunately she had a window open just enough that I could work open the lock with a simple tool.
7. What’s your favorite kind of cheese?
Jarlsberg
8. Have you ever boycotted anything?
Back in grad school when many people were boycotting Gallo Wine because of the treatment of farm workers, I boycotted it because it was generally swill. ;o)
9. Do you have any embarrassing usernames?
Not unless Cactus Watcher embarrasses someone.
10. Have you ever did (sic) well on a test when you didn’t study?
You mean not even a little bit? I don't know. I did well enough on many tests I didn't study a lot for. Have you ever done well on an English test?
11. Do you still take hot showers when it’s hot out?
I take mostly warm showers.
12. Do you like the picture on your ID?
It's okay.
13. Is there someone you pretend to like but you really don't like?
If you are pretending to like someone doesn't that make the rest of the question redundant?
14. Have you ever raked leaves, and then played in them?
I lived in the woods. I can honestly say I never raked the leaves, because it would have been a waste of time. But I do remember playing in a pile of leaves my father made just to invite me to play in it. It was okay but I didn't exactly ask him to do it for me the next fall.
15. What is one thing you've realized or discovered lately?
I still have some books I thought I gave away before I moved to Tucson.
16. Which family member did you inherit your hair color from?
I honestly don't know. When it was brown it wasn't the shade of brown either of my parents had.
17. What’s the average length of a shower for you?
I don't keep time.
18. What’s something about adult life you were never warned of or prepared for?
Stupid memes?
19. If you won the lottery, do you think any of your family members would ask you to give them some of your money?
Probably. Would I give them much? Maybe, maybe not.
20. What is the craziest thing you’ve seen happen at your workplace?
Besides hiring me on the spot?
21. Would you rather read a book or listen to the audiobook?
I've only listened to one audio book. It wasn't a bad experience, but it wasn't a very good book.
22. Have you ever eaten snow?
Yep. We used to make a kind of eggnog with fresh snow.
23. Curtains or blinds?
I have both.
24. Have you ever adopted a stray (cat or dog)?
Couple dogs. I guess my cat was technically a stray when my sister first took it in.
25. Do you own/wear any jumpsuits?
I think there is a law against people my age wearing jumpsuits, so we have to look silly in other ways.
26. Do you struggle with dry skin in the winter?
Uh, nope. Dry Sinuses? Yep!
27. Have you ever gotten angry at an employee and complained to the manager?
Happily, no.
28. Do you add unnecessary letters to the end of words?
Of course, I'm dyslexic.
29. What was the last thing you used your phone for, besides calling/texting?
A paperweight probably, but maybe a bookmark.
30. Do you always check the prices of things when you buy groceries?
Generally, but not always.

I cook seven nights most weeks. If I go out to eat it's usually for lunch.
In moderation

Stupid memes?
Okay, I genuinely did laugh out loud at that one, thank you! I keep thinking these memes are really posted as some manner of marketing tool, usually because of the odd juxtaposition of the different types of questions.

I think there is a law against people my age wearing jumpsuits, so we have to look silly in other ways.
True that, definitely! ;-)
1. Do you like rain?
In moderation.
I'd say the same, but moderation is hardly what we've been having here this year, although I'm wicked grateful to live where I do when you look at the rain-related disasters the southern states have endured recently.
In fact, mentioning sinuses, mine are currently fighting off-- or trying to-- an infection that I'm fairly sure came about due to the nearly constant rain and/or high humidity we had here in August. Of course, sinuses are supposed to be moist, but there's moist and then there's yaahhhhh! kind of moist, which I'm sure bacteria, viruses, mold etc. find just really homey.
Oh well, way it goes. eh? Like that character in Monty Python's Holy Grail flick said.. "I'm not dead yet!"

East of here lots of rain, in California and to the north dangerously dry. Sunny is good. Rainy is good. But both only in moderation!
