Betsy: What a fun list with a lot of insight.
9. I don't know why you don't like push-ups, they are a rather tasty treat and not that hard to handle once they start to melt.
This is an interesting one. Thanks for sharing. I drive a Toyota, but an Avalon, not a Prius.
That is great Betsy!!
Great fun post to read this morning!
Great fun post to read this morning!
I had fun reading this...
That was a lot of fun to read, and you're a really cool person!!
I love reading this meme's. You learn so much about people. It was a lot of fun to read yours.
Great post Betsy. (Betsy Bruce...so cute)
Frozen butt on a fender? too funny.
#18 - Could you give them fake names and bring them back??
That was fun Betsy! It's always interesting to see what people like/dislike. Thanks for sharing this fun post!
Oh, this was a fun read! We just bought a Toyota, Corolla LE. We downsized from a van and it took a little getting used to its smaller size. So glad you didn't name your son Laura. Love those trip idea - they're on my list - just don't know when!It was good to 'know' you a little more! Blessings!
Betsy - that prius looks like a fun little car! Alaska is on my trip list too! Fun to read these about you!
It's always so interesting to read about others. I've thought my next car might be a Prius. I see a lot of them around here.
Hi Betsy,
That was fun reading about you! I KNEW I liked you alot! :)
We own 2 Toyotas and love them! They just go and go and go for us! Both are Corollas.
I also think you're name is very cute and it fits you well! You should be proud of it!
Have a wonderful day, Mrs. Betsy (Bruce)! :)
Tammy
Wow, what a long list. If we lived in the city I'd have a Prius too. But we got a Subaru for driving in the ice and snow of the north countree.
Glad it was you and not me right now. No time for that one. Real interesting though.

Fun to find out more about you Betsy. Hope you're doing one of those things you love right now.
I want to do this too! It looks like fun!!!
LOL at going to the doctor!!! :)
Me TOO!
It's good to get to know people a little better. Meme's are great for that!
I feel like I've gotten to know you better!
I'm curious, where does the randomness part come in?
I enjoyed reading your meme. You and I have alot in common.. are we related??? LOL
The funny thing about blue cheese is that I loved it as a kid. Now I can barely eat a thimble full. That's ironic because I eat so many more things now then I did back then, except blue cheese.
Hi Tom, How funny!!!!! I've never heard of Push-ups that you are talking about... Is that ice cream on a stick???? I could do that very easily!!!! ha ha ha
Sally--An Avalon is gorgeous. I had a friend in Texas who had an Avalon..Very Roomy!!!!
Darla---Thanks Friend!!!!
Mildred---Thanks!! It was fun to do... Why don't you try it?
Rose--Thanks!
Deb--Aw shucks... Thanks!!!! I enjoy doing things like this.
Kallen-- Well--you do learn alot about people reading these memes. I had to 'think' about some of my answers.
Suz-- Yes, Betsy Bruce Banks!!!! BBB!!!! ha ha... I'm really Elizabeth Bruce Banks--but I guess they thought that chubby little baby girl looked more like a Betsy!!! ha
Woody--Thanks!!! I could use 'fake' names and will do that from now on --if I post stuff about my grands. BUT--since I had so many posts (since 2006) about them, instead of changing all of those names, I decided just to take them all off. I hate that as good as the internet is, there are always 'lurkers' out there wanting to cause trouble. Darn!!!
Susie--thanks!! I enjoyed doing this meme. I wonder if I go back to those same questions a year from now--whether I'd answer them the same way....?????
Karin----I drove Corollas for years and George drove Camry's. Now--we have one car, our Prius. AND--we'll continue to buy Prius's as long as we can. I had a 1983 Corolla, a 1988 Corolla, a 1994 Corolla and a 2000 Corolla. LOVED them!
Thanks Shelley---I sure do hope to get to Alaska SOON. And you'd love the Prius. People think it's a little car but it's NOT that little. George is 6'4"--and he fits in it easily!!!
Carolyn, Well--it's great to get about 54 mpg!!!! We love our Prius... Check one out sometime!!! It's bigger than it looks.
Thanks Tammy!!! I like you too! As I told Karin (above), I drove Corollas for years. I never spent a dime on any of them --other than basic maintenance! My name is Elizabeth Bruce Banks --but Mom and Dad must have thought I looked like a Betsy!!!! ha ha
Cicero--Yes--I'm sure the Prius wouldn't do very good in ice and snow. However, it goes back-country very easily. We've taken her (Mrs. P) all over the place when we hike off-trail...
Leedra--Oh--it didn't take that long... I find these memes alot of fun!!!! Hope you got your water pipes fixed.
Diane-- Well---blogging is one of my fav's---and I'm doing it now. So that is good!!!
Tricia-- Go for it!!!! I will enjoy reading yours.
Kath-- OH---I wish I had a doctor who didn't weigh me every single time I go!!!! ha ha ha ha... YUK!
Amelia--Thanks!!!! Why don't you try it????
Pigeon--Well---I enjoyed doing it. Try it!!!!
Bernie----HA----no 'randomnes' in this post!!!!! ha ha
Peggy---I'm shocked you have time to visit other blogs. You have such a busy life--especially now. Glad we have some things in common. I'd love to be like you!!!!
Bob--I was the opposite. I never liked blue cheese when I was young. Now I LOVE it...
Betsy, you are an interesting lady. This has been going around on facebook and I've enjoyed reading it from others but not so sure I'd want to do it. lol.
Dot--It was really fun to dol--REALLY. It looks long--but didn't seem so long when I did it. So--try it sometime!!
This was fun to read Betsy and learn more about you. I did one very similar to this a while back. :D
Daisy, I enjoy doing memes like this--since you do learn more about other bloggers this way. Thanks!
Oh I can so relate to #'s 5 & 9!
Ha Sarah--- OH--how you and I have the same problem. Dad-Gum-It!!!! ha ha
