Wow, I guess it's not unexpected. I don't fit the questions. I can communicate in phrases in French; meaningful conversation, no. No passport for years.

Travel phobia, lucky I got to Europe once, can only go within about a 50 mile radius on a really good day now.

I read no magazines any more, do almost all my reading on the web.

I'm not the generation that was raised on fast food. We had home-cooked meals almost every day, and when we ate out, it was usually a family buffet type place. Ethnic food? I hated it except the American version. Now I love a lot of it, Middle Eastern, Mexican, Chinese, Vietnamese, Italian, that was a pretty good fit. I don't like curry so haven't ventured into the more exotic cuisines. Fast food for us was a drive-in that had the most wonderful hamburgers I have never been able to duplicate at home. There is a chain up near Chicago called Schoop's that sounds like what we used to be able to get. The meat has to be ground a special way. I think a few other places may still have them, nothing even close around here any more.

Fashion? What is that? I used to be a real clothes horse, now I like to look nice but have very simple clothes. My sister buys most of them for me because I hate shopping for them. It's not that I don't care what I look like. I just have very simple tastes now, things do have to coordinate unless I'm painting lol. That's not artistic painting. That would be painting stuff around the house.

Enough of my blather. I thought it would be religion-oriented.
