    No. But I DO HAVE seven different guns. Four pistols, two rifles, one shotgun. I hunt remember?
    :-)

    What is your position on gun ownership?

    I believe that if you hunt or live remotely(this is the only time you will honestly need one for protection) then I see no problem with it. There is no other reason to own a gun - if you do you are part of the problem.

    What is one thing that no matter what when you think back on it, it makes you smile?

    Lazy summers riding horses up in the high country as a kid. We'd just literally go get list from sun up to sun down.. We'd be " lost all day" then the horses knew their way home.. And no stupid cell phones! That and Wrigley.. :-D.

    My daughters when they were young, 2 and 4 years or so and just so happy playing with blocks or whatever in their Pajamas.

    Do you have kids?

    Wanted to study abroad in college but the timing didn't match up with what was happening in my life.

    What do you think of the whole Taylor Swift taking all her music off of Spotify thing?

    I think it's her music and she has every right to demand payment. Spotify has a set of agreement at, and done are different according to the artist. But they also
    Have the ability to snub artists by stealing their playlists and discography off other free internet sites, which is partly what happened with her, if I heard correctly. She has that right.. It's her music. There was an issue over this in the FB 10c groups.. Where one person had a download link to the entire 2013 bootleg catalog and was handing it out left and right.. But it was a ghost link.. Meaning you only had so much time to download it, before the link " dies", or re-pings; setting itself to a new location. Think about how many hundreds of people shared that link!! At even the cheapest order if 14.00, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars stolen from the artist!!
    And IF Spotify DID post collect TS 's songs, or neglected their agreement in any way shape or form, then yes, I think she was right to pull her catalog! (Whew! Bet you wish I wasn't the one to answer tha huh??)

    What's YOUR position on Fan vs. Artist rights over the music?

    It's a hard subject, especially as we're increasingly digital and everything is so easy to share that way. As for Taylor Swift, I'm on the fence about what she did. In the end, it's her music, and if she's doing it based on principle, good for her. However, with the amount she makes, it's interesting she out of all people would do such a thing. I could understand the action a lot more if it was a small band, but I'm sure Taylor gets many hefty checks elsewhere. Also, having music on a digital streaming site/app/whatever could encourage more revenue elsewhere, i.e. someone hears a song and then ends up buying it on iTunes or buying the album, someone hears a live album and decides to buy a ticket to see them on tour. So it's complicated! It was a bold move on Taylor's part that I overall respect, but I think I'm more surprised at who was pulling the music, not necessarily the pulling of the music itself.

    Have you ever had an idea for a new invention?

    I always think of things, and then they end up on market.. And I don't share the ideas, it just works out that way!! I'm waiting in my latest idea coming out in the next year or so..

    RKCNDY Posts: 31,013
    yes, I tried to stop, but then I realized that I let fake people into my life-and they caused drama.

    do you confront people when they wrong you?

    No. Family is forever.. And to let something stupid like money interfere is wrong in my opinion. But that doesn't mean I'm a push over either.

    How important is it to you, to have a lot if money?

    not very important, I mean it would be nice to win the lottery so I could go tour the world and help out those that need it.

    If you could donate to one charity only, which would it be?
