Another one of those “getting to know your family and friends”  survey-like e-mails landed in my inbox today.   Dozens of them have been passed along over the past couple of years.  You know the ones, where they ask you questions, you answer then forward on to a group of people.

    Today I decided not to fill it out, not to forward it to anyone.  My reason is that my friends should know by now “What’s my favorite color?”   If I prefer to live by an ocean rather than a lake?  What’s my favorite drink, dog breed, sandwich, day of the year, season, if I would rather eat blueberries than cherries and who really cares what was the last movie I saw?

     But I have to admit, I read all the answers from the ones who put me on the list.   Some are often hysterical, some are a little boring and some are quite original.  

   It seems I’m always on the list as to “most likely not to respond” - so if that’s the case, why keep me in the loop?    Oh, by the way, keep sending them filled out because I do love reading them, even if I don’t want to share!
