And the survey said.....

Over the years I have been

ask to answer questions about my blog.

These are usually sent by students of

colleges who are either doing an essay

of their own..(the first one was..10 years

ago) or the school itself is running a project

about people.. (the second one was for

senior citizens writing blogs).

One always wonder if they are legit or not.

And what happens to that information. Does

it disappear into cyber space, papers or

a cd at the college? And do they use our

names?  Two said no.  

While the young man who contacted me

10 years ago.. we converse on by emails

at first.. me answering some questions he

had.. and then he followed it up with a

phone call, so he could talk to me about

a couple of my answers.  One of which was

of great humor to him, was my story about

how I got my kids to return to the house for

lunch. (for those who don't remember or

go back that far.. I use to shoot off the shot

gun, because our dog which was ALWAYS

with the kids, was scared of guns.. and he

would run for home, which the kids knew

if he headed for home.. they had to do the

same)...  We lived in the hills.

One of them wondered if I would change my

blogging habits if I knew they were watching

me and what I wrote.  And the answer is no.

I am what I am... as Popeye would say.

Have to wonder, what it was about my blog

that they thought it was interesting enough

to get ahold of me and find out what I was

thinking.  Interesting... say what?
