Q.1
I walked through the soundstage where many of the old westerns had been filmed. I even sat right where I remember seeing Jackie Cooper sit. I was hooked. I wanted nothing more than to be an old cowboy. Of course, old cowboys don’t exist anymore do they? Still, I wanted to be one. My goal now was to find out all that I could to become one – even if it didn’t make my mom and dad all that happy about my choice.

Q.2
I must say that I wasn’t very impressed with the art exhibit held at the town square. First off, all I could think about was who chose the pieces to be displayed? Clearly that person, or persons, had no idea at all what constitutes real art. Most of what I saw would have been discarded into the trash had I been the person making the decisions.

Q.3
If you really want the best quality picture, better even than 3D, then you really need to buy a new 4K TV set. The colors are so vivid and the picture pulls you into the scene, making you feel as though you are actually a part of the picture itself. The sound quality is far more superior as well. High-definition TVs had their day but that day has passed. If you want to be on top of technology and get the best there is out there, then you MUST try out the new 4K TV!

Q.4
Looking into the kitchen Jenny’s first impulse was to turn around and then have someone board it up. Filthy dishes were piled up on every surface available in a lopsided manner that could easily rival the tilt of the Tower of Pisa. Rotting, grotesque green, orange and purple food was smeared on all the walls, the ceiling, the ceiling fan and the picture window. It was evident that the unidentifiable food had oozed its way down the walls and onto the floor that was beyond being caked with who knew what. Jenny very seriously doubted that there was a single, solitary object in that kitchen that had escaped the explosive, volatile spray of the open blender and mixer that some frat-house brother had turned on to impress his party goers.

Q.5
It was my first time on an airplane! I was so excited and sick to my stomach at the same time. I also felt rather dumb because I didn’t know how or where to look in order to find my seat. A little boy standing in front of me pointed up to the ceiling above some seats and said, “Mommy, that’s where our seats are.” I followed his finger to see where he had pointed to and noticed a number and a letter. It said 12ABC. My ticket said 16D. Where was “D”? I thought. Turning I looked at the same spot to my left and low and behold, it read, 12DEF. I now knew I would be sitting on that side of the plane. Working hard to hide my fear and show only my “experience,” I made my way to my seat and acted as though this was a normal routine for me.

Q.6
Holding his breath, he could hear his heart wildly pounding in his ears. In fact, he could hear his blood rushing through his highways of bluish-purplish veins as clearly as he could hear the water flowing from the bathroom faucet. The pounding and the rushing flow of blood was so loud to him that he was certain that the burglars in the opposite room would be able to hear him and locate his hiding place between the twin mattresses on his bed.

Q.7
Sewing a button hole on a piece of garment tends to bring a wave of fear to many but it shouldn’t. If you have the correct tools, such as a proper button hole foot pedal for your sewing machine, this process will be easy. Look in your case of sewing foot pedals and locate the pedal that looks like that displayed in figure 2 on this page. Once you locate the proper foot pedal, you will remove the current pedal and secure the new foot pedal in place.

Q.8
I normally don’t speak about politics but when I do, I do so for a good reason. Mr. Jones is clearly not the best candidate to hold the office of School Superintendent. He has no professional background to support such a position. In fact, he dropped out of school in the tenth grade. In addition, Mr. Jones served a 30 day sentence in the county jail in Vicksburg back in 1983 for drunk driving. Is he really the man you want to be supervising your children? I don’t think so. Vote for Ms. Carlson. She’s been a teacher at Grandview Elementary for the past 27 years. She has also served as Chairperson on the School Committee for the past 4 years. She’s been happily married for nearly 30 years and has an impeccable, law abiding record. Ms. Carlson is the person you want as the School Superintendent!

Q.9
Caroline’s dress was a shimmering display of an endless array of colors. With each step she took a flash of a new color was broadly displayed only to quickly disappear with her very next graceful step. At that point, yet another vibrant, intoxicating and even more powerful color was displayed. It seemed as if the dress had a mind of its own because I never did see the same color appear twice. Everyone was so captivated by the dress that no one noticed the satisfaction Caroline’s facial features openly broadcasted. In fact, not only was her dress a work of utter perfection but so was her oval face, creamy complexion, emerald green eyes and plump, smiling red lips.

Q.10
Do ghosts really exist? That’s an age old questions isn’t it? It’s a question that I thought I would try to solve. Over the past decade I have attended over 50 séances, been to dozens of mediums and visited over 200 supposed haunted houses. I’ve talked with many believers and non-believers. This book will present my findings. However, in the end, it will be up to you to decide whether ghosts really do exist or not.
