2016 Survey and Giveaway Results

Thank you to the 30 readers who answered my survey this year, and the 11 who joined the giveaway!  Enrique Bracamonte, a long-time reader from Peru, was randomly selected as Winner #1.  He will receive the five cards featuring Charity's artwork.  Winner #2 is Linda.  She blogs at Linda's Peaceful Place and regularly shares inspirational quotes and videos.  Linda will receive the twelve cards featuring Grandma Carson's art.

Question 1: How did you find my blog?

Eight of you found my blog by browsing the blogosphere.  Six cannot remember l̶i̶f̶e̶ ̶w̶i̶t̶h̶o̶u̶t̶ ̶m̶e̶ how they found my blog.  Five found Liberty or Death because I commented on their blogs, four from my favorite chess server (FICS), and four because we've met.  The other results are from one person who found my blog through busuu.com (a language-learning site), the mother of a friend of mine, and someone who visited from Martha's blog.

Question 2: What are your favorite posts?

For the third year in a row, life remains the favorite category.  What really surprised me here was seeing political posts in second place--above even travel!  In 2014, political posts were in second-to-last place. 

Question 3: Do you read or skim?

I'm not sure if this means I have lost my audience of devout skimmers, all have converted to reading sometimes, or they skimmed through without taking the survey--anyway, no confessions!  A lot of people both skim and read, which makes sense because not every post is going to interest everyone.  Many thanks to all who read.

Question 4: And for statistical purposes, to which age group do you belong?

This time 20-somethings get a clear first place.  The results are very similar to last year's, except there are two less in the 50-60 category and two more in the 70-80 category, and there's one more in the 30-40 category.

Question 5: What is your favorite candy bar?

The Snickers v. Kit-Kat feud continues!  After beating Kit-Kat by two votes in 2014, then losing to Kit-Kat by two votes last year, Snickers is back to regain the title, claiming the victory by one vote!

Now...It's time to celebrate!

I was so happy to get my celebratory photo in before a snow (last year I was freezing!).  But... this time I was photobombed!  Apparently I'm not the only one who thinks those candy bars look good!
