Who is the most famous or infamous person you have ever met?

Disclaimer: gaslighting comments, or just plain rude comments will be moved to trash. My blog is a place of kindness & understanding not troll behavior.

When I was around 12 years old in the middle of the 1980’s I met Paul Newman at a karate tournament. It wasn’t until years later that I realized how lucky I’d been.

I lived outside of New York City & even though I attended public school I had some famous parents that came to our orchestra recitals. I was very lucky one year when a girl in my class invited us all to her house. Little did I know how big the “Rocky Horror” movie would be at the time. I got to meet Meatloaf & his very kind wife. Our whole class had an end of the year party at his house.

I met some famous people in passing but I don’t like to bother them for selfies or autographs. I met a pretty famous Norwegian singer at my favorite coffee shop. She was really kind & sweet.

I tend to talk to them like normal people & not from a point of idolisation. I have often just said hello & nothing else.

What is good about having a pet?

I’ve been a dog lover since I was a kid. I think they’re great for companionship & knowing you’re not alone. I spent most of my Uni years dog sitting.

But I think the best is to own your own dog. Our adored four legged creature is super spoiled even in his 9 plus years.

He’s a rare breed but a very good dog. He sleeps most of his days now & is well past the puppy stage.

Our four legged creature was almost taken from us last Summer when I came home to find him poisoned. I remember he wasn’t the same happy dog to see me & he was completely out of it.

The fact that someone tried to kill him often makes me question our safety in the neighborhood.

Anyway, he recovered & by the next day was is old self again. Lucky that I got home when I did.

Name the most expensive personal item you’ve ever purchased (not your home or car).

A few years ago after we moved to Norway I had to purchase a vacuum & it was really expensive. I remember the day they delivered it & I was over the moon.

It was not a cheap appliance but a very needed one since we have shedding four legged creature. The vacuum has a ton of settings & it’s easy to change bags when it’s full.

Anyway, it was money well spent!
