And Deb, I think I am becoming Irish because the older I get, the more I just stop nonsense in its tracks and if you want
something repeated, you be?er tell someone else because if you say, “Don’t share this,” I won’t and even if you don’t
say it’s between just you and me, I s?ll don’t repeat it. (Whew! I think an officer said that sentence!) My siblings have
caught on that I’m the one to share things in confidence because I won’t repeat but they also know that maybe they can
get something out of me regarding another sibling, which they never do.
And yep, Aaron Rodgers just got to be too much drama and annoying. I cheered against GB last year simply because of
him. Let the Jets deal with him. I will be sure to not cheer for them this year. I am star?ng to cheer for Seahawks
because a dear friend grew up in Sea?le and his blood runs anything Sea?le. (He’s s?ll recovering from Sonics
leaving.) NFL Sunday I am tex?ng my friend who lives in Detroit who is a Browns fan, her husband is a Steelers fan, and
my Sea?le friend who now lives in Chicago area, plus my son who is a Steelers fan. Tex?ng is just grand even if some of
my messages don’t make sense because auto text tries to interject crazy words.

This is fabulous! Thank you for the addi?onal details. We’re all about that in here.
I love your sense of humor and that is why you fit right in. The girls are never afraid to give you some grief, but it is all
in love. We’re hoping the next candidate for the Record’s posi?on fits in just as well as everyone else has.
It really is crazy how much we have in common. I am also a Green Bay Packer’s fan. At one ?me I loved Aaron Rodgers
but lost a lot of respect for him towards the end.
I always s?ck up for the Dallas Cowboys (but not very loudly as I am a minority). Ha. Sea?le Seahawks will always have
my heart. And I love hockey if the teams I like are playing. The Stanley Cup has been very good this year. I’m hoping
the Las Vegas Kings take it all the way!
If you have any doubts or ques?ons about anything you have heard or seen, please reach out to me. I am the Irish,
gonna tell you like it is person in the group, but our conversa?on will always remain confiden?al ??????

Favorite treats/candy: Peanut M&Ms or Snickers, Baby Ruth, Mounds or Almond Joy—it seems nuts and chocolate
make me swoon. The black licorice “nibs” in the bulk sec?on at WinCo is a weakness that I will only occasionally indulge
in. I always make sure I bury it deep in my grocery bag so I won’t devour it by the ?me I get home. I really try to pace
myself—5 pieces each day. Any other black licorice I can have one piece and then leave it alone, but I think the black
licorice in the bulk sec?on is infused with something. And of course, anything salty—chips, nuts. Fill a bathtub with
chips or nuts and I will eat my way out with or without dip/salsa/guacamole.
Pizza: I will crawl through crushed glass for a Hawaiian pizza.

And another “Things I Enjoy” is cooking/trying new recipes, especially during the NFL season. And that is something else
I enjoy, listening to an NFL game while I cook. I cheer for Green Bay (now that Aaron Rodgers is gone), Steelers, Browns,
and Buffalo Bills.
And just a side note to you Deb, I don’t think you or the rest of the office will ever understand what a lifesaver this job
has been for me. Everyone seems genuine in their respect for each other with just enough bantering to make it fun. I
always worry that my humor will be interpreted that I am a pot-s?rrer but have decided if anyone truly tries to s?r the
pot, the stove will be turned off, the spoon will be taken away, and the pot would be emp?ed. Thank God for tender
mercies! And feel free to condense my responses! I so love to talk—I guess that could be a favorite thing too!

This is great – thank you. I usually send this ques?onnaire out in the Fall for the Secret Santa we do in December. It’s a
lot of fun.
Do you have any specific treats/candy that are your favorites?
What are your favorite pizza toppings?
