Hey lovely one! Good questions and answers. That reminds me I'll have to peruse the archives for another view of that final shot. :-)

I was wrong in the woods once.
Turns out my bark was worse than my bite, so I branched out in a different direction....now I pine for those days.

Great answers Laney!
And what's this "I hate that my ass wouldn’t ever win that competition it did back in 1986!"
Come on! It's still attached to your body isn't it? And you still know how to use it when it matters don't you? So who cares about competitions? :) Hugs and kisses.
So, having said that, do you have any photos of you from 1986? :)

Well Kiddo let me tell you something, As a parent we all have done things that our kids do not understand. I am speaking from experience here. when they get older they will look back as I have many times and Say "I guess he/she was not as stupid as I thought. Now I know what the hell he/she was trying to tell me.
You know the phrase I hope you have one just like you. That shit ain't funny.... it happens. It has happened to me. And someday he too will understand. My oldest son I think is Starting to admit some of what I told him. As he gets older he will admit more. When he tells us about his son our grandson I see him admitting to what we told him, for his own sake. Hugs to you kiddo.

Well, as usual I love what you have to say, what you have to share. You are so inspirational. My favorite questions were from Dan. And you answers were awesome. I can't wait to read your answers to the million other questions you have been asked.

"I hate the fact that life has gotten so complicated as I’ve aged, and it’s brought with it responsibilities which prevent me from being the person I really want to be. Twenty years ago, it all seemed so easy. I did what I wanted, when I wanted. I ate and slept when I wanted. I had dreams which were achievable because back then, it seemed anything and everything was achievable. I hate it that as time’s gone by I’ve lost more and more people that I’ve cared about. I hate that I’ve become more pessimistic. Cynical even.
I hate that my eyes look tired. Most of all, I hate that this may actually be it….that things may never actually get any better than this. I hate knowing that the years are running out. I hate living with the knowledge that it may actually be downhill from hereon in."
Finally someone who knows exactly what I have been feeling the past year! My god it was like you were describing me. I would have never thought a year ago there was someone else out there who felt exactly like i did. And yet here we are together, both of us climbing back up from our hell hole, we can both see the light at the end of the tunnel. The only difference between you and I was I continued to work, but there are so many things that I can't remember or are very vague. I missed more work in that year than I had in the last 10. I walked around robot like in a fog, lost.
Here's to you and I. We will continue to grow old, but we will be better for it. And I'm glad I'm getting to know you!

Reading this is like observing you in a writer's forum, answering interview questions from eager fans . . .
I really liked your comment to Dan about aging. It's as though in order to know yourself, you have to lose yourself. Or perhaps you are shedding the skin of youth to evolve to the essence of maturity. But as friends . . . aging though we may be . . . we have the good sense to appreciate each other for what we are.
Of course, the others were illuminating too. And you reminded me that I really should look at Leigh's blog.

Andy - Hi there sexy! I just looked back to see what the June 1st pic was. My God...I wish I looked like that now! I've put on a few pounds since then...and it has to go. I think I need to take a leaf out of your book and stop doing all these things which are bad for me, lol. Hope you're doing ok Andy, x
Mrs Zig - Thanks! I had some great questions!
Ted - It's not even 5 in the morning yet....do you expect me to compete with that? LoL. I shall definitely get back to you though!
Dan - I suppose I can still shake it when the situaion calls for it! I was working in a health club at the time, and had every conceivable fitness class and beauty treatment on tap, to use at my leisure. I didn't know there WAS a competition until they told me I'd won it. Ahh, the good ol' days of lycra! Thanks for the questions Dan...they were great. x
Kitty's Tiger - The joys of parenthood! I've always brought my son up to be independent, to have his own mind and to stand up for what he believes. We don't always agree on things...and that's fine...I just really hope he doesn't hold anything against me, that's all. I can't wait for grandchildren!!!
Suck Me - Hello stranger!! Now...had you really seen my toe nails, or infact any part of my hideous feet, Im sure you wouldn't have been back for a second look! Thanks for stopping by...hope all is well in your world. :)
Blessed - Thanks! I've really enjoyed doing this...it kept me very busy over the weekend. Yours are coming up...so watch this space :)
Kitty - Actually...that's one thing I failed to mention when I wrote about it all a few weeks back...the memory loss. You're right, it is like being in a fog. It's not an easy journey back to reality either, is it? Every day I have to force myself to do things...I just hope it gets easier with time. Wishing you lots of love and luck Kitty. x
Cherrie - I suppose that's one way of looking at it...we have to lose some things in order to gain more. And that's ok...but I just wish they'd asked me what I wanted to get rid of first, lol. x

I would like to say that in your answer to Kristen's question you that you are WRONG. You could not have been someone better with different choices. You are a simply wonderful woman and there is no one better. I would be an extremely sad person if you had turned out any different than you have, I think you are perfect just the way you are. Love you. xo TME

Aww, TME..thanks for saying that, it was really sweet. x
I guess what I meant is that had I made different choices in my life, and gotten out of bad situations a bit quicker, I don't think I'd be as wary as I am now. I'd be more fun-loving...more carefree...perhaps happier inside? I guess it's hard to say though, isn't it?

I don't think you would have been anyone better.....
I think our choices, good or bad, makes us stronger.
