[Mokey]

I found this great article that asks you to step outside the box when you answer these forty questions. I found I had a recurring theme to my answers. I'd like to post the link and then I'll transfer the questions over here and if so inclined, feel free to copy and paste and then share your answers. Not sharing is understandable as they may be too personal for somebody. To each his/her own. I'll go first!
