11. Do you ever bring home freshly caught fish?
I have, but not for years on years.
12. Are you worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff?
No, I tend to keep my stuff in the same places all the time, so I usually know where to look.
13. Ever socialized with the fire-and-brimstone crowd?
Well, I once spent a long, snowbound weekend with a family of fundamentalist Christians so strict they had no electricity, no indoor plumbing and rode around on a horse-drawn wagon when possible. They were pretty interesting, actually.
14. Would somebody looking around your home comment that you need more furniture?
Well, they might comment that I need NEW furniture, and they'd be right.

Sometimes. But not while sitting at the table.

No, but my parents used to have one.

No.
18. Do you remember (or know) how it is, being broke all the time?
For my first job out of college, my salary was so low I qualified for fuel assistance and lived on generic pasta. But my parents helped me out from time to time, so I wasn't seriously broke.
19. Did your mother keep your bedroom the way it was when you were a kid?
Not really.
20. Have you ever scattered someone's ashes?
We set out to scatter my dad's ashes in the Caribbean a year after he died. But at the last minute my step-mother decided she wasn't ready to part with them. So we just vacationed there instead and she scattered them herself a year or two later.
