Unlike many bloggers, I’m not in this to make money; no banner ads here. The interaction from readers this past month — that’s why I do this. Can’t put a price on it, and I hope it continues.

Big Fink love to alla y’all. Way to start off June! I will do this again someday, when I’ve thought up 30 more questions.

      LOL – I know, right? Girl, I been up since 3:30! Stupid hip joint jarred me awake, and then I started thinking about painting the garage today, the crazy schedule coming up for the rest of June, wondering if we’ve saved enough money for the Odyssey, worrying about this and that…you know the drill! Can’t turn off the neuron firings.

      But in the interest of total disclosure, I wrote the blog post last night. :P

      Hugs to you, my fiend. Let’s keep in touch here.

      WWE Tough Enough could possibly be one of the greatest shows ever. All shows are better when hosted by everyone’s hero Stone Cold Steve Austin.
