Saturday Meme - 50 Questions

I'm trying to get back into things here . . . good to start with a meme.  This one is from Wry Catcher.

4. Are you registered to vote? Yes
5. Do you get nervous before doctor appointments? I've solved that by not seeing doctors.

Yea! Glad to see you're back. I was starting to get worried even though I know the windows must get washed.

I love reading people's answers to memes, sometimes they are very telling.

"Death is everywhere
There are flies on the windscreen
For a start
Reminding us
We could be torn apart
Tonight"

Could be a tearjerker.

Are you SURE about #43 ???

[a rose is a rose]

even though a few of your answers concerned me, i am MOST worried about #12.

that - from the man (boy at the time, but still) who tied his legs around and UNDER a canoe

S.W. . . . I'd forgotten about Flies on the Windscreen.

I'm pretty sure about #43 . . . why, do you know something I don't?

Rose, I'm not a fast learner.
