152. Do you believe the stories about planes, boats and people mysteriously disappearing into the Bermuda triangle? I do...and will always find that weird.
153. Who are you the most jealous of? No one...I try not to be jealous of people.
154. What is the happiest way you can start your day? Seeing my baby boy pop his head up out of his crib and smile at me. Perfect beginning.

156. Who thinks that you are offensive? Probably a lot of people. Like they matter.
157. If you had to teach a class in something, what would you be able to teach people? Proper grammar - apparently, that's lacking in today's society.

161. Would you still love and stay with your signifigant other if he or she had to have a breast or testicle removed? Of course. That stuff wouldn't matter to me...because if my husband lost a testicle, it was more than likely because of something bigger that could've killed him. And I wouldn't want to lose him.
162. Do you believe in fate or free will? I strongly believe in fate.
163. Do you believe that only boring people get bored? Psht. No. I don't think I'm boring, and I get bored a lot.

168. Which is worse, working in retail, food service, or an office? Food service. People seem to be so much more disrespectful to those people, and I wouldn't want to do it.

172. If you had the power to control one person and make this person do anything you wanted for a whole day, who would you pick and what would they do? I can't say the person I'd really want to control, because I would get in SO much trouble. I'd probably pick my husband and make him make his mind up about some things.

184. What's the best cheesy 80's song? "Pour Some Sugar on Me." :P

192. Is it natural for human beings to fear and distrust each other, or is it cultural? I think it's a little bit of both. Darwin didn't figure out that only the strong survive for nothing. But I think culture has made us all a little wary of one another, too.

194. You have to choose. Would you be happier marrying someone rich for their money or living in the streets and subway tunnels with someone you love? Love. Hands down. I've been in miserable relationships, and I couldn't do that for the rest of my life.
195. If someone wanted to understand you what book could they read that would help? Oh my gosh. I don't know! There's not a book out there that could describe me...
196. Do you think it’s odd that Americans have freedom of religion and yet call themselves 'one nation under god'? I've never really thought about it. I think it's great we have freedom of religion though.
