Very interesting, Helen. I don’t bite my nails, but I do tear them off. I know it’s a terrible habit. Maybe when I turn 50 I’ll be able to quit. 🙂

Oxymoron? Nascar fan and a fear of speed!?! LOL You crack me up. I can’t believe you gave in to this game. Guess we really are suckers sometimes. LOL 🙂

Hi Carol and Jana, I did this meme, because Jen is the person who tagged me. She hasn’t posted in ages. (Guess she’s just busy.) Anyway, I like her. I do try not to be a stick in the mud, also.
And speaking of NASCAR and speed, a few years ago Tony Stewart (the 20 car) made a commercial in which the punch line (when others rode with him) was “I’ll make you wet your pants.” Fat chance I’d take a lap with him. LOL

LOL I don’t think I would ride with Tony either, but I would like to be the one doing the driving. We used to have a car that I would drive over 100 mph nearly every day, but we got rid of it so I would slow down. We went to a truck that has a governor on it. If I hit 100 mph it will shut off. Fortunately, I haven’t received any citations. Since the kids came along, I try to be more reasonable about speeding. 🙂

Go Jana! I mean whoa, Jana. 🙂
I don’t have good peripheral vison, so I do not drive. Sometimes things “jump at me” from the side of the road, which is scary. I’m a better passenger, since my husband’s no longer in his twenties and driving fast. I used to have panic attcks in the car. But since those made people mad, I “cured” them by singing hymns in my mind. (If I’m going out, I’m going out thinking of Jesus.) I don’t have them any more. But going too fast makes me dizzy.
I feel very safe watching NASCAR. LOL
