Name one way you show affection to others.

    I love to cook, and I like to feed the people I love.

Salad
What is your favorite writing instrument?

    It used to be a pen my dad gave me one year for Christmas, but I rarely write longhand anymore. So it would have to be the computer, I suppose.

If you were given $25 to spend anywhere online, from which site would you buy?

    I would buy these earrings at Arbor Beading.

Salad
On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how honest do you think you are?

Main Course
If you could change the name of one city in the world, what would you rename it and why?

    I don’t think I have an answer to this question.

Dessert

    Money stresses me out; Rockford calms me down.
