From/For Ray:

38. Tag 5 people who would do this survey. Uhhhh… 5 who WOULD or who I would like to see do it? I haven’t a clue, and I don’t like asking other people to do stuff like this. I think the only person who actually WOULD do this (Lord know she’s done enough of this sort of thing) would be the younger of my sisters, but she doesn’t read here. (Funny, but out of all my sibs and kids and grands, there’s only two that I know of who read here at all, and I don’t imagine either of those two would do this)
