What signs, if any, of recession have you noticed?

There is so much! The cost of things, the lack of jobs and people getting laid off. The housing market is terrible. I sure hope this comes to an end soon.

What Happens to Us After We Die?

I believe in a heaven and a hell. My hope is that I go to heaven. I have a strong belief in God.

Are the goings-on within polygamist sects any of our business? Should they be monitored? By whom?

Is it any of our business-Yes. Should it be monitored-yes. Some of the goings on there are basically illegal. Why shouldn’t we monitor things like this.

Do you drink tap water?

Most of the time, we use the filtered water from the frige but at times, I’ll just use tap water.

What, or whom, do you take for granted?

I am trying to make an effort not to take anything for granted anymore. I’ve come to the realization that life is short. Enjoy every aspect of it. Enjoy those around you. When my dd first got married and had my dgs, she would call me and we would talk for hours. Then she went and got a job and we couldn’t talk as much. Boy did I miss her conversations. When she first started calling, I would tell myself that I had to much to do. After her calls stopped-I had plenty of time to do the jobs but missed talking to her.

I Read the News Today, Oh Boy: Botox May Move from Face to Brain ... Swell

I don’t care how good it may be-I’m sure not going to inject anything like that into my body. YIKES!

"South Pacific" returns to Broadway — what musical comedy from your or your parent's youth still resonates with you today?

I love them all! Oklahoma strikes a note with me. I was in a high school production and had a wonderful experience doing it.

OUCH! Killer diets, strange-food fads, risky plastic surgery: Have you ever put your health at risk for the sake of beauty?

I’ve done the diet thing but even after losing alot of weight, I looked awful and didn’t feel a whole lot better. I just eat kinda healthy now and feel happy about it. I may be overweight but I feel better that way. As far as plastic surgery and stuff like that-I say NO WAY! I earned every wrinkle in this face. This world is so obsessed with looks that we’ve forgotten to see the inside beauty of a person. That’s true beauty. That’s REAL beauty. I just don’t understand why we have to starve ourselves and get surgery and things like that. It’s not healthy. We need to stop trying to be a size 2 and look like we are in our teens and start improving out inside beauty.

If You Could Go Back in Time, Whose Life Would You Choose to Live?

I would just like to live over again as myself but under different circumstances.

Who was more important to you, your father or your mother?

Barry Manilow I Am Your Child I am your child. Wherever you go, you take me, too. Whatever I know, I learn from you. Whatever I do, you taught me to do. I am your child. And I am your chance. Whatever will come, will come from me. Tomorrow is won, by winning me. Whatever I am, you taught me to be. I am your hope, I am your chance, I am your child.

Who was more important to you, your father or your mother?

Thank you Ginger. It takes alot of work to get over that stuff doesn’t it. I just tell people that yes, I would like to be a child again if I could live the perfect childhood with decent loving parents.

'We Just Don't Elect Presidents We Don't Like'

My goodness! The candidates are human and subject to human error. Have we forgotten that? Maybe Hillary was just confused. Give her the benefit of a doubt. I will not support McCain and I don’t care for Obama but I’m sure he will be the democrat of choice because this country is fearful of women. Heck, women can’t even get good medical care in this country. We’re considered hysterical. Geesh.

Financial Columnist Liz Peek Asks When Will the Economy Hit Bottom?

All I know is that something better change and soon!

Who was more important to you, your father or your mother?

Neither! My mother was an alcoholic and a drug abuser and my father abused us (my brothers and myself) all the time. They also both knew of the incest I went thru with one of my brothers and they did nothing about it. I had a terrible childhood and it carried over to my adulthood. I’ve dealt with it and know that God got me thru that whole mess. Guess I had to go thru it for some reason. I’m a much stronger person I know. So I guess that’s a good thing.
