As much as I've been answering a lot of Q and A blogs, lately, JoAnna had some fun questions that make my life a lot more boring than hers, so I stole it.. here ya go.. (JoAnna B is niece to Douggie B.. you should check out her blog.. won't take her long to notice all Douggie's "followers" or "worshippers" LOL) I cracked up at her "Only in America" Blog and its so true.. I used to work for an ATM company.. its on them all because its cheaper than making another mold and to stock and organize one machine is so much more efficient (even though you'd be surprised how many options that are available to banks!)
Trudy has a great "Don't Close the Blinds" story to explain to a child why we are at war. I really started way back with the Iranian crisis and hostages when I had to teach my children what all this middle east "attention" was when it started up again. Schooling at home allowed us the days and days of research and questions and answers to give a different perspective than just one text book's representation.
I do support our troops and have many opinions of whether we should be anywhere or not.. but its a good representation of why its so so too late and why just ignoring it doesn't work, either. I'd apply it as a lesson for everyday life.
We have to know when to stay out of the den of a sleeping bear, too, though. Or is it more to not let the bear hibernate???
(yahoo spacing is all out of control again I've noticed.. sorry everyone!)
1. Have you ever been searched by the cops? No
2. Do you close your eyes on roller coaster? Yes, but the last one I was on, was what I would refer to as a "baby coaster" and I smacked my head on the side bar in the last jerking turn, and well, that big bruise and headache really ruined the whole idea of doing anymore for me!
3. When's the last time you've been sledding? *frown* Never, just like snow angels...
4. Would you rather sleep with someone else, or alone? Both, but mostly with someone most of the time, would be nice.
5. Do you believe in ghosts? Yes
6. Do you consider yourself creative? Yes
7. Do you think O.J. killed his wife? You mean with his own hands? Better question, would the LAPD let YOU or I parade around in a 30 mph police chase? I think I blogged how much they've helped me.
8. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie? Probably Jennifer, but I'm not sure I care.
9. Can you honestly say you know ANYTHING about politics? Much more than I'd rather think about or admit.
10. Do you know how to play poker? Yes
11. Have you ever been awake for 48 hours straight? Yes, even not in child birth, too.
12. What's your favorite commercial? The Pepsi commercial where the rapper gets a ride in a Pepsi truck and everyone thinks its the new "IN" thing and they start buying and driving Pepsi delivery trucks around. Did they pimp them out? See how much tv I watch? (from the super bowl!)
13. Who was your first love? Eddie Echeverria and I wonder if he knows? I wonder if he'd find this if he Googled himself? *grin*
14. If you're driving in the middle of the night, and no one is around you, do you run a red light? Only once and I still don't know why, I was just "somewhere else" in thought and my friend actually told me I ran it. I was in a residential neighborhood and even honked at the car that "cut me off" that had the green! Oh, to be 16-17 and non defensively driving.. ugh!
15. Do you have a secret that no one knows but you? Of Course
16. Boston Red Sox or New York Yankees? Well, The Dodgers or the Braves, actually. Go Marcus Giles! But for the sake of the question, I go with the Yanks, for sure.
17. Have you ever been Ice Skating? Well, yes, as a mom, who sat and watched her children learning. I really think that ice will hurt when I hit it and I know I will. So being an intelligent being and being able to add, its not going to happen in this lifetime.
18. How often do you remember your dreams? Not often. I have many journals but if I had a dream journal it would be blank, I think.
19. What's the one thing on your mind? Concern about the health of a dear friend.
20. Do you always wear your seat belt? Yes
21. What talent do you wish you had? I wish I could play the piano or paint even the "one stroke" method!
22. Do you like Sushi? Yes, if its cooked. I love eel, but avoid it (migraine trigger). I don't eat much cucumber anymore, unless its European (except in sushi). I don't like fake crab, either. My favorites are at sushi bars.. fried fantail with cream cheese, The Jax roll in Jacksonville, Florida, and Dynamite are some favorites.. I'll try any of it, if its not raw. I don't eat pickled ginger or wasabi. I prefer the rice on the outside, or "inside out" but I don't know why it matters to me. I even like it with brown rice. I prefer small rolls so you don't have to take a bite out of it.
23. What do you wear to bed? Well. Pajamas are my favorite clothing. I love them in cotton or satin. I love them with shorts or pants. I love pajama long shirts. I also love tanks and panties. I need someone else to "help" in the middle of the night with pets or children/family to get me in the buff all night long. Its also why I rarely sleep in just a tank and panties, too. I even love my plaid pajama pants that I wear in public that no one knows are jammies!! Men's cotton pajama pants are awesome too!
24. Do you truly hate anyone? I don't know anymore. I don't think so. There is such a fine line, though.
25. If you could sleep with one famous person, who would it be? No one, I would always want "more", so forget it.
26. Do you know anyone in jail? Sadly, yes!
27. What food do you find disgusting? Hmmm.. raw tuna or sushi, brussel sprouts, bad cole slaw,coconut grit (but love the flavor) orange carbonated soda, and olives. Is Beer a food?
28. Have you ever made fun of your friends behind their back? Yes, but I also agree, nothing that I would not tell them, say in front of them, or have already said to them. I'm with Carlos Mencia on this.
29. Have you ever been punched in the face? Well, I did get my jaw dislocated swing dancing one time with my ex-husband. I did not know it was dislocated for a few days, though. I just knew my mouth would not open and I couldn't do much more than stick a straw between my clenched teeth. Never trust your friends who are corpsman. I finally dug out a pain pill and when it started working, I laughed about something I had heard earlier that day, and it popped into place and was "all better" just like that!
30. Do you believe in angels and demons? Not in a way you'd think.
