I'm glad to see that you're back with us - if not in person - than in blogging spirit! There was an "E" in the original list... it seems SC somehow "lost" it, so if you copied her list... you lost it too :)
I always end up laughing out loud when I read your blog. Your answers completely crack me up. I think, by now, that I've come to understand that you're not a big "people person" :) and, from reading the answers from today's lists, you would prefer not having to wear clothes - since you don't want to "feel" them. I suppose these types of things are good to know about a person.....
I'm thinking I need a 'naked room' like Terry Bradshaw in Failure to Launch. That would serve the double purpose of letting me not feel my clothes and keep people away...
You were bored in Roanoke? I was born and lived in Roanoke for 23 yrs! It's a great town! If you like outdoor sports, no local sports, great hospitals, good universities (Go Hokies!) and a town known for a glowing star on top of a mountain!
BTW - the "red light" area is north Salem Avenue. Just make sure they have "internal" vs. "external" plumbing.
Never ride a motorcycle in the area. They have tendancy to jump on if you aren't paying attention.
Why are you telling my husband where the red light district is???
Only to tell him to avoid the area.... :)
Funny, I had a dream the other night that I was trying to talk Leslie into having another kid. I woke up with abdominal pains. That was quite a disturbing dream!
Did they tell you in Roanoke that the town used to be called Big Lick?
The whole town.
Not just the red light district.
