Great answers, Sammi! Great to learn more about you. Now, it's my turn (gulp)

1. What was the happiest period of your life and why?
2007, which was my year of heaven. It was the year I discovered Brokeback Mountain, my new friends, and gained a new purpose in life.
2. What was the saddest time?
I haven't really had a sad time. I guess it would have to be when my father died, in the early 1970s.

3. Who is your best friend?
My best friend is a gay man, who I feel a very deep and close connection with, as if we have been friends for several lifetimes. He is also my "travelling buddy" and we've been all over the country together.

4. What’s something about you that not many people know?
People here on BetterMost know the most important things about me. It's people in my real life who don't know much about me!
5. When you were a child, what did you want to be when you grew up?
A documentary filmmaker.

Rubbing lotion or oil into my feet at night. If my feet are happy, I'm happy.

I would be born 22 years later.

Surfing BetterMost and the Internet, cooking, gardening, reading.

Something unexpected happens, and I get to make a choice. I can do ennithing I want!
10. Who is your celebrity crush?
Honestly, I don't really care that much about celebrities.
11. What part of your body gives you the most trouble?
I would have to say, my tummy. It still wants to harbor a fetus.
12. What’s one thing you want to do before you die?
There's quite a few things, but right now, I am fixated upon a mountain. A very very tall mountain.
13. Describe the best meal you’ve ever had.
I was in an Enoteca in Tuscany, Italy. We were the only patrons. A five course meal was served. You had to be there!
14. What six things are essential to your health?
1. Courage 2 Conviction 3 Integrity 4 Comfortable bed 5 Olive oil 6 Fresh mountain air

YES
16. What is it that you can’t live without?

17. What is it that you don’t understand?

18. What do you fantasize about?
Love
19. What is it about you that your friends do not understand?
You'll have to ask my friends
20. What’s your 5-Year Plan for the future?
There's a big mountain in my plans. Have you seen "Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind?" I'm like Richard Dreyfuss with the mashed potatoes, LOL!

I'd like to find a job. And I want to go to Alaska. And I want to get some cows and a donkey I can name RONkey (after my husband) for our farm property.

What mountain is in your future?  Is it Devil's Tower or something even bigger?  I've been sitting here thinking it's Everest.

You're thinking right, friend Della. I'm setting my sights for base camp in 2011, and may return again in 2014 when my friends are planning to summit!! No Everest summit for me unless I want to try for the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest woman to be crazy enuff to try to climb Everest. Me and the yaks will be camped out together at 20,000 ft in the sky!

OMG!!!  How thrilling!!!  I'm soooooooooo excited and envious for you.  Many pictures of you there will be taken and displayed here for our enjoyment.

What an adventure!  Heh, you could try to summit...a historical feat...

Will you take your laptop or something where you can file a travelogue or something similar for us to follow?
