1. I read that Bud Weiser & Kathy moved into their new house! When was the last time you moved? Where to? This condo. 10 years ago. I hate moving and hope to never do so again.
2. If they were making a Hall of Fame for the blogosphere, name a blogger or two who you think should make the list. Why? I'm not answering this. I'm a Cub fan who prayed for Ron Santo to make the HoF every year and the bastards turned him down at every opportunity -- until after he died! So, to safeguard the health and welfare of the bloggers I would nominate, I'm keeping their names to myself.
3. What are couple
of funny things you remember your parents saying? (Like, “They're
starving there in China, so finish what you've got.” - John Lennon) Do
you say them to your kids? "I'll give you something to cry about," was my dad's mantra. I don't have kids, so I can't mess them up.
4. What is something that has happened to you that you would consider a miracle? Last September I had two biopsies -- one for ovarian cancer, one for uterine cancer -- and they both came back benign. I know so many people whose lives have been touched by cancer that I now ask, "Why NOT me?"
5. What is it too late for? "Goodbyes." (My nod to John's eldest.)
6. What do you try to stay away from? Second-hand smoke. It smells bad and it's bad for the lungs and complexion.
7. When you get into a disagreement or fight, how often are you the first to apologize? Depends on who it's with.
8. Tell us about a current issue that you’re unhappy with. How nasty and disrespectful my fellow liberals are being to Mitt Romney. After the Clinton and Obama Presidencies, after John Kerry was "swiftboated," I expect this kind of bullshit from the right wing nut jobs, but I'm disappointed by those who should know how corrosive this ugly talk is. It's one thing to disagree with Mitt Romney's economic and domestic policies (I do, and you should, too). It's positive political discourse to bring up his attitude toward the tax code, or gay rights, or a woman's right to choose. It's not helpful to dismiss him as "Willard" or "Mittens," to knock him for his faith or appearance or other extraneous personal issues. If it's bad when "they" do it to "our guy," it's just as bad when "we" do it to "their guy." I expect better from my progressive brothers and sisters. THIS IN NO WAY APPLIES TO NEWT GINGRICH, who had made personal behavior an issue when he actually tried to unseat a sitting President over a blow job.
9. How often do you update your blog/site and why? Every day. Because I want it to be an accurate journal of who I am and what's going on in my life, and that changes day-to-day.
Kwizgiver just nominated you for a blogger hall of fame (I see you were more realistic in your nominations!). It was my first link to your blog and I'm so glad she made it. I have enjoyed browsing through your writings and will return again and again.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Julian nod. And your diatribe about the liberals is spot on.
ReplyDeleteoh I remember the old "come here and I'll give you something to cry about".. I told my mother that there were support groups now for people like her. She didn't appreciate the humor in that. I am a former smoker and I went into a casino last night and immediately took everything off when I came home - it was so stinky like smoke. Blech!
ReplyDeleteI'm originally from MA. I won't vote for Mitt. 'Nuff said :)
Hello my friend! Long time no talk. I like your "don't have kids, so I can't mess them up"... haha same here!
ReplyDeleteI had a hard time to answer #5 without quoting Julian.
ReplyDeleteI cannot stand walking past someone who reeks of smoke.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!

I'm with you on second hand smoke. When I end up somewhere around smokers - you can still smoke in some restaurants in South Carolina - the first thing I do when I get home is toss my clothes in the laundry and take a shower. Yuck!
