1. What's one thing you learned at the ripe old age of whatever age you are now?
My ripe old age is almost 76 and there have been plenty of lessons learned and ignored. Recently, I have been reminded that age is only a number and regardless of that number, one is never too old to set and accomplish goals. See #5

3. Something you miss from the 'good old days'? When were the good old days anyway?
I think the 'good old days' are those, in my estimation, that were better than the current time for whatever reason. For me, the 'good old days' could be those of my childhood when life was only good and happy. I miss the innocence and lack of concern for what the future held.

That I am healthy enough to enjoy doing things I enjoy.
I won my category in the 90 Day walking challenge our church sponsored, by walking 463.6 miles. I actually "walked" across the state and back again and never left my neighborhood.
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Speaking of Louisiana, I recently saw a list of silly sayings that will only make sense if you're from Louisiana. Growing up in Cajun land, most of these are words and phrases I grew up hearing and using. Would you ever use them?
1. Make Groceries - Means you need to go to the grocery store
2. Dressed - If you want lettuce, tomatoes, pickles and mayo on your po-boy or burger
3. Save the dishes - Put them away or do the dishes. "Save the clothes" means the same thing.
4. Pass a good time - Having a great time!
5. Fixin' To - Actually, we use this a lot and it means about to or going to.... eat some of the gumbo, etc.
6. Laissez les bon temps rouler - Let the good times roll!
7. Lagniappe - (Lan-yap) Means "a little something extra"
8. Cher - Pronounced "sha" and most Cajun women say "Oh my Cher bebe!" This is a common phrase for calling someone "dear" or "sweet one."
9. Fais-do-do - This would be a good old fashioned Cajun dance party.
