We would like to say

to
anguslady for letting us step into their personal life for a bit.
Happy *Birthday* Dec 14
anguslady
1.How'd you choose your name for GT?
- I was on IYT with the same username when I got talked into coming here. Blackangus (Linda) could be so very convincing and I’m glad she talked me into coming over.
2. What interests you most on GT? Do you have a favorite game?
- Very friendly atmosphere
….have made many friends
which is a bonus to get to know people all over the world.
- American Rummikub is my all time favorite.
3. What state or country do you reside in? What do you think tourists should definitely see?
- I’m from Western Canada. Must see in my opinion are the Rocky Mountains, and the National Parks, (unknown photo), Banff, Jasper. So much beauty in our country that I am sure visitors would have no problems being entertained here.
4. What hobbies do you have?
- I love to read
so I guess that’ll be my hobby….lol
5. Children? Grandchildren?
6. Do you work? what kind of work do/did you do?
- Retired now but was an LPN in my working days
7. Any pets?
- We’ve had numerous cats
and dogs
over the years. Currently our only house pet is a 15-year-old rescue that we rescued.
All of our cats have been feral rescues over the years. They may join the family hissing and spitting but quickly learn that being a rescued kitten has many perks...they all soon are just little cuddle bugs.
8. Are you under 30?___ 30 to 50? ___ or over 50? Male or Female?
- Female and over the 50
(unknown photo)
9. Favorite food?
- Most of the time cooking meals is more of a chore than a treat so I must say that ANY meal I do not cook is my favorite.
10. What's the farthest you've been from home?
- Not much of a traveler but seeing Mount Rushmore way back when is the furthest I have been. It was definitely worth the trip.
11. If you could be anywhere right, now where would that be?
- There’s no place like home….
12. Favorite season?
- Spring to see the new growth
and life after a long cold winter 
13. Favorite movie?
- Field of Dreams.

, No, wait, I think "Sweet Home Alabama" is #1 for me
14. If you could meet anyone (living or dead) in the world, who would it be?
- Robin Williams to make sure he is alright. He brought so much joy to so many.
If there are any questions you would like to see asked in future interviews, please let us know.
