(02) When or how did you first discover SSD? I discovered it the first time probably around 2010 just searching for supplies, I don't think I joined the forum at all. Then this winter jumped in and joined the forum

(05) What's your biggest pet peeve? when people chew with their mouth open

(07) Where did you go on your last vacation? We took a 2 day trip to DC last month (tagged along for my husband's work trip) but last non work trip was to see my grandma in NC for a day
(08) What's your favorite time of day? Why? Either 10 am - noon because I may actually be home without anyone here and can catch up on all the things that haven't gotten done and need done, or dinner time when we are all sitting down together and going through our day

(10) What's your go-to dish/recipe to make when you're having people over or bringing something to someone else's house? Cookie salad if we need something sweet - it used to be garlic rice or homemade BBQ chicken...but new allergies have made all of those dishes not something I can eat, so now I'm not sure
(11) If you could travel back in time to change one thing or event in your life, would you? What would it be? If not, why not? I always ponder this question, I think there are things that I would wish didn't happen, but I don't know that I would change them - because I fear that would set in motion so many other changes, and there would be no way to know how those changes would affect my life now and I am content and happy with life. There are struggles, there are hard things - but we are content and filled with joy.

Christmas time is my favorite memory, there's not a specific memory from one Christmas, I have lots of memories from Christmas but just a general feeling that thinking about Christmas brings.
