v When you get angry, do you stew on it and stay quiet, or let the rage out by venting ? 

^ It depends on the situation. I vent for irritation. Very profound anger could go either way. I'd rather vent, but it's not always the best plan, or I can't even think of what to say if I have a sympathetic ear.
> All the ram a few messages ago remind me how much I hate Vegemite and Marmite, but my best friend loves them. A tiiiiiiiiny bit on a cheese sandwich is ok.

v  Do you have that one person you dread dealing with during the holidays?

> The worst thing about the holidays are the radio stations that start the 24/7 Christmas carols the day after Halloween. This is Florida. We are NOT dreaming of a white Christmas. That would be a nightmare.

>  One Halloween, my then husband carved the most magnificent pumpkin.  (He could have given classes - his teeth were superb.) Kids stole and destroyed it.  

v  Have you ever been "tricked" on Halloween?

^ Only by people who would give out little boxes of raisins or pennies on Halloween. Who wants those? 

> I love roasting pumpkin seeds. Yum. 

v- If you eat turkey on Thanksgiving (or any time)- what is your favorite part?
