Swiped this off Vividdreamer, who kyped it from LA, who borrowed it from Trance. And now I remember why I don't do surveys.

1. Longest you've gone with out a shower � Years. Had to survive with baths in this house until we got the pipes replaced, what 8-10 years ago. If you include baths in that question, the answer would probably be 10 days. That was our stint on trail crew for the U.S. Forest Service. Although, that isn't quite true, because I remember several baths naked in the ice cold streams and sun drying on the rocks afterwards. And we used soap, so that would probably constitute a true bath.

2. Color of most clothes you own � Blue. Denim and chambrais. Other shirts are barnyard red.

4. Have you ever been in love/Are you �Yes.

5. What do your teeth look like � Too yellow from coffee, incisors with jagged edges. They do what they're supposed to do.

6. What are you wearing � blue jeans, chambrais shirt

7. What are you doing in 1 hour � Probably looking for more Mars pictures from Opportunity. (No, I was wrong... I was still doing this survey.)

8. What room are you in right now � office

9. What where you doing 12AM last night � writing journal entry.

10. Do you like riddles � if the brain needs to be kicked out of idle

11. Where do your grandparents live � they're all long gone

12. Do you like trampolines � yes

13. How old will you be in 10 years � 3,653 days older than I am now

14. What do you think you'll be doing in 10 years � If calculations are correct, be in first year of retirement. But with any luck, I'll still be right here, doing the same.

15. Do you have braces � Nope. Never. (Vivid Dreamer's answer, which is good enough for me.).

16. Last thing you ate � Fudge muffin with chocolate chips

17. What's your locker combination � Okay, so now we know this is a teenager's survey, and we may not finish it.

18. Are you paranoid � no.

19. Do you burn or tan � Burn.

20. Pen or pencil � Pen. Chromium Cross.

21. Do you check your mail regularly � Yes. Heelers don't let me forget their trip to the post office.

22. Describe your cd player � Round. Silver. Sony.

23. Your wallet � trifold leather, thick.

24. Your alarm clock � Wind up, only wound up when needed.

25. Your hair � Once was red and curly, now is grey and thinning.

26. Tooth brush � Whatever Kim our hygienist gave me. She works hard to make sure we all have different colours, but I think both the wife and I have tangerine this time.

27. Computer � which?

28. Bed � Double. Supposed to change at the end of this month.

29. Purse � Uh, no. But a cousin thought my camera case on the table was a purse at the funeral reception. I chided him for being so dense, as no woman on earth could get what she needed into a purse so small.

30. Backpack � Daypack is green-blue, and permanently packed in the truck. No idea or concern on brandname (teenager survey, remember?). Backpack is blue, magnesium frame, and old.

31. Note book � Day planner is grey leather, overstuffed and heavily worn. Get comments at almost every meeting now. Have had a maroon replacement for over 13 years, maybe I should get it out and use it. Although, seeing my decrepit current one, our office manager offered to buy me a new one, which might be bigger, so we'll wait to see that, first.

32. What color are your nails � Multi-toned from marble white at the base graduating into rosy quartz near the tips, which are again marble white. Clean, as is normal for this time of year, but that won't last.

33. What color are your eyes � Green? Hazel?

34. Last time you where sick � Flu hit on the week of week-long meetings in December. Thank goodness we got done early so I could sleep all day Friday.

35. Last person you yelled at - Masked heeler, for barking at something she didn't need to be barking at.

36. First bike: Schwinn.

37. First best friend(s): Roger and LaRue?

38. First real memory of something: Probably around two years. Wearing cowboy hat, boots and guns. Upset that I couldn't go along on the drive wherever Dad took siblings, yet mother consoled me by explaining how much she needed my help in the garden on the rock ledge. No, wait. Got an earlier one. Turning over rocks in Mrs. Field's garden on Cucharras Street, finding our first rolly-pollies. That would be before the house with the garden. Summertime, so about 20 months?

39. First car: '68 Chevy Impala. Once described by a friend as a "living room on wheels".

40. First date: Probably the Prom?

41. First kiss: Same gal, I would guess.

42. First break-up: No real break-up, just failed to reconnect after I left for college.

43. First job: Busboy at Howard Johnson's. And I was good at it, too.

44. First screen name: Something to do with a penguin.

45. First self purchased album: Who knows? Remember buying my first Playboy, though, from Seven-11.

46. First funeral: Grandmother on my Dad's side. I was what, 13? 14? Guess I could get into the genealogy stuff to be sure, which is where I should be spending my time right now instead of this survey. But we're half done, now.

47. First prime minister (or president) you voted for: Carter. (So, a Canadian survey?)

48. First piercing/tattoo: Heh. What timing. May have my first tattoo on my left arm right now. Let you know when the scab falls off.

49. First independent home: This one, assuming "home" means what I think it does.

50. First house/flat/apartment: Okay, I guessed right on #49. Ignoring college dorms and apartments shared with college friends, it would be the basement apartment on College Avenue, in what is now fixed up and called the Darrah House, right next to what used to be Der Weinerschnitzel (and last Friday was an empty lot). Got a cut rate on rent if I kept the furnace running and the yard mowed. Did good on furnace, less well on the yard. Still remember the small purple flowers on the shrubs along the driveway.

51. First love: Infatuation? Becky, in middle school. Love? I would guess I'm still in that.

52. First enemy: A bully in grade school, used to take great delight in finding victims for snap-the-whip..

53. First big trip: Remember the train ride on the Rock Island line to Nebraska. Back before they began welding the rails, and you heard the clickety-clack of every rail. Maybe three years old? Mom amused us kids with the connect-the-dot cards with holes in them that you had to thread coloured yarn through to complete the cartoon picture. Hey Sis, did we have the "make a face with the four blocks" thing on that trip?

54. First play/musical/performance: Christmas program at Bates. Remember the stage well, but have no idea where I was or what I did.

55. First musician you remember hearing in your house: Burl Ives.

56. Last cigarette: First and last. We rolled up paper bags and tried to make cigars to smoke, next to the fireplace. Think that cured us of that addiction at the get-go.

57. Last kiss: Hmmm. Friday?

58. Last good cry: Yesterday, writing.

59. Last library book checked out: Oh, wow. A history of Scottish tartans. They had to reissue my library card, since mine had been carried around unused since well before computers.

60. Last movie seen: Kill Bill. Pisses me off I didn't get a chance to go back and see it again. Chuck only held it a week.

61. Last book read: A Star Trek novel about the female captain of the Enterprise C. Disappointing.

62. Last cuss word uttered: Actually, I don't remember. They come out often enough, though.

63. Last beverage drank: Poor man's cappuccino (cocoa and instant coffee).

64. Last crush: At the moment? Jill Hennessy from Crossing Jordan. Although, there was a new brunette just recently, Julie Dreyfus from Kill Bill.

65. Last phone call: game warden, wanting to borrow my truck.

66. Last person who called me: game warden, wanting to borrow my truck.

67. Last TV show watched: Crossing Jordan (didn't watch all of it, though)

68. Last time showered: Yesterday.

69. Last shoes worn: Worn western boots.

70. Last cd played: Sarah McLachlan, Surfacing.

71. Last item bought: Square bottle of Fiji water, at the convenience store at the mouth of Big Thompson Canyon, just because I felt the need to buy something for using their facilities. And it reminded me of the Carlsbad trip. No, wait. That's not right. It would be the cans of cocoa and a box of clementines at the Safeway just north of my answer to number 50. And change my answer to number 63 to: a decaffeinated raspberry mocha from Huckleberry's, since the wife just got home and brought me one.

72. Last downloaded: Mars photos from Opportunity, and porn, in different windows.

73. Last annoyance: Our clutter.

74. Last disappointment: Can't think of one. Maybe that this morning's new snow is only a skiff, not enough to cover the ground for an elk count?

75. Last soda drank: Geez louise... who knows. Last handled one when I grabbed one from the boss's truck for the drive home on the 14th, but I never opened it. Have we had Subway since then?

76. Last thing written: Comments in Trinity's diary.

77. Last key used: Truck key, to let the warden in. Or do they mean on the keyboard? In which case it would be this: .

78. Last words spoken: How the masked heeler wouldn't mind at all if the wife was imprisoned, so long as it meant they could spend the entire day cuddled together, every day.

79. Last sleep: This morning, probably seven hours.

80. Last IM: To Kim days ago, but she didn't answer. Meanwhile, I went off trying to acquire a tattoo Friday night and left the machine on and connected, completely ignoring and frustrating Melissa's attempted messages.

81. Last sexual fantasy: All I will say is it involves a brunette...

82. Last weird encounter: After the funeral. A cousin and his wife who I haven't seen for many years, who had moved practically in our backyard for several recent years, but are moving far away again next week.

83. Last ice cream eaten: Vanilla, buried in fudge. Couple weeks ago, now?

84. Last time amused: Moments ago, in the discussion about me sending the wife away to prison.

85. Last time wanting to die: The day I had to do all the deer flying and threw up ten times in the chopper.

86. Last time in love: Now.

87. Last time hugged: This morning.

88. Last time scolded: Is it a good thing that I don't remember? Or is that bad?

89. Last time resentful: Last night, when eldest son had to hog the internet for two hours more than he was supposed to.

90. Last chair sat in: This one. Now, isn't that a dumb question? Why did I answer it?

91. Last time dancing: With the wife, the Governor and a couple Indian dancers and drummers. Too lazy to link, go back to the beginning of last November to look it up if you want.

92. Last poster looked at: One on the Kill Bill site, because I was looking up how to spell the answer to number 64.
