__How are your budgeting abilities?__
I am very frugal. That's the only way I can stick to a budget.
__Missouri has had about 150 earthquakes in the last year. How would you describe your level of preparedness for disaster?__
I'm not prepared at all. I've given it some thought. I've not done anything about it.
__Describe your ideal weekend getaway.__
That would be somewhere like a winery or bed and breakfast, where there's beautiful scenery and good food, and a nice place to stay. Maybe Ste. Genevieve.

...people are not good listeners.It bothers me when you don't get to say everything you want to say, and if it comes out wrong, they take you the wrong way.

__How are your budgeting abilities?__
I am a good budgeter. I do my homework. It pays to budget your money. A little bit goes here and a little goes that way.
__Missouri has had about 150 earthquakes in the last year. How would you describe your level of preparedness for disaster?__
Poor. We do have a lot of them where we are. We're right by the river and that's a concern.
__Describe your ideal weekend getaway.__
I'm an outdoors person, and I like to camp. So it would probably be my sister's lake lot where I can fish and relax.
__Finish this sentence: "It really bothers me when..."__
I'm just going to state, 'The economy.' It bothers me when I see people who are in need, who can't afford just milk and eggs, bread and butter.

__How are your budgeting abilities?__
I'm good at budgeting. I'm pretty tight with my money, and I guess I take after my dad who is tight with his money too.
__Missouri has had about 150 earthquakes in the last year. How would you describe your level of preparedness for disaster?__
I'm not overly concerned about it, but I have a garden. We have chickens and rabbits and some of our own meat. We would be OK for a little while.
__Describe your ideal weekend getaway.__
We have our animals, so we don't get a weekend. It would need to be a day trip. But I would love to go to Nashville and see the Grand Ole Opry.
__Finish this sentence: "It really bothers me when..."__
...I'm driving along and someone passes me and they don't get any further than if they just stayed behind me.

__How are your budgeting abilities?__
They are not that great. It's often tight. I'm on friendly terms with the bank.
__Missouri has had about 150 earthquakes in the last year. How would you describe your level of preparedness for disaster?__
I'm not prepared at all. I don't have a desk to get under. I have some canned goods to last a couple of days.
__Describe your ideal weekend getaway.__
Maybe a St. Louis weekend with a visit to the Fox Theater, Jazz at the Bistro, a night out to dinner, a stay at a good hotel. Maybe Memphis or Nashville.
__Finish this sentence: "It really bothers me when..."__
...people park their cars in their front yards. Not in the driveway or on the street, where cars go, but in the grass. It looks bad.
