Ask And You Shall Receive - Part 2 (Answers)

Sorry, but life and work have kept me running hither and yon lately.  I will now answer all your thoughtful questions!

From Helena: “Anne - you are very caring and delightfully nutty - the kind of blog I enjoy and admire. Do you have any preferences in building your blog list and do you think there are any 'clique' blogs out there?" - why thank you, kind lassie!  I didn't start out to be a blog writer, only a commenter.  Ron and Mark and Sean and Jim urged me to start my own blog.  there are cliques in every facet of life; I choose not to give them recognition.

From Travel Penguin: “There are white squirrels on the campus of the University of Louisville, seeing one before an exam is an omen of Good Luck." - get out; really?  wonder what my guy portends? 

From The Dogs Mother: “Abby wants to know if you will ship her the white squirrel for her collection?" - uh, no; sorry, abby. ;-b 

From Jon: “You are more brave than I am. Being an extremely private person, I'm reluctant to reveal everything. What specifically attracts you to gay men? Let me guess: they're handsome, witty, sincere, highly intelligent, very entertaining, and sexually non-threatening (I should know.....)." - oh ho ho, I am not about to reveal EVERYTHING.  some things are meant to be private and will remain so til I die.  you have already stated the answer to your own question, and I will add caring, kind, non-judgmental.  I find most women (exceptions are my blog followers) to be backstabbing cunts and want nothing to do with them.

From The Corporate Slave: "Do you like you job or do you feel like another cog in the wheel?" - I like my job 90% of the time.  but I work for a small (7 person) company, not corporate bullshit america. 

From MAC: "What was the first concert you attended and the latest?" - first concert I remember was seals & crofts; opening act was the fifth dimension (early 70s).  The latest concert was the bacon brothers (kevin [swoon] and michael) in october 2013.  YO, their father was the philadelphia city planner for many years. 

From Bob: "Do you think the rain will spoil the rhubarb?" - da fuq? :-/

From Raybeard:

1) Which country which you've not yet visited would you most like to see? - austria; my maternal grandmother's parents came to america from there. 

2) Are you now or have you ever been an active member of a political party? - I registered as a democrat in 1972 and have not looked back.

3) Which celebrity (deceased or still alive) do you remember as having your first crush on? -ringo starr

4) Which food can you just NOT STAND? - vegetables, 99% of them.

5) How do you like your fried eggs? - NEVER fried, only scrambled.

6) What was the first record you ever bought? - "get off my cloud" by the stones; I still have that 45 rpm.

From Sluggy: "When are you & Todd coming up to see me?" - don't know; todd works most saturdays.  e-mail me at girl9654@yahoo.com and let's work something out.

From Mistress Maddie: "When a guy enters the room, what the first thing you notice? Or where do your eyes go?" - the eyes, honey...ALWAYS.  then the face.  then how he carries himself.  I also need you to e-mail me so that we can hook up (but not in THAT way)!

From Ron: "where is the most unusual place you made whoopee?" - in a private bedroom compartment on an amtrak train.

From Jay: Everybody asked everything I could think of! - then you are not trying hard enough (heh heh heh, I said "hard").

From UptonKing: "Tell me about the first time you fell in love. And then tell me about the time your heart was so broken you thought you'd never love again." - for the first question, I was 19, he was 30 and british, cute, caring; flowers, rainbows, fireworks, sparkly unicorns all happened; we had 1 year of fun until he had to return to the UK.

for the second question, I plead the 5th Amendment cause the information revealed would be too painful/would harm another.

And last, but not least, from Spo: "How many frenchman can't be wrong?" 50 million, according to sophie tucker.
