Random Meme
1. If you were to attend a costume party tonight, what or whom would you go as? Minnie Mouse, because I still have the costume somewhere.
2. What are your choice of toppings on a hamburger? Ketchup, lettuce, mayo. Or barbecue sauce! Yes, that would be good, too.
3. You are chosen to have lunch with the President. The condition is you only get to ask one question. What do you ask? Oh, Kwizgiver, how many profane and silly RWNJ answers do you think you'll get to this question?
4. It’s your first day of vacation, what are you doing? Where am I? If it's Christmastime in Key West, I'm in the hotel pool until my Conch friends come to pick me up. If it's my Las Vegas birthday trip, I'm having a late brunch and discussing which show and which casino to hit first. If I'm having a staycation, I'm being lazy and recharging.
5. What is your concession stand must-have at the movies? It changes. Lately it's Twizzlers.
6. Which do you dislike most: pop-up ads or spam email? Spam email.
7. What do you think Captain Hook’s name was before he had a hook for a hand? That was his name. He refers to his mother as "Mama Hook." (My source material comes from the Disney Channel.)
8. Rock, paper, or scissors? Scissors
9. Let's say a brick fell on your foot, and your kid is standing right next to you, what is your 'cleaned up’ swear word? Good goobies!
10. Which is worse, being in a place that is too loud, or too quiet? Too loud
11. What is one quality that you really appreciate in a person? These days, being informed but not ridiculously partisan. The way you would answer #3 says a lot about you. Especially if you're a Republican. Nothing turns me off a person faster than knowing they would be disrespectful to a President, any President. It shows such an ignorance of our history and lack of regard for the electorate.
12. At the good old general store, what particular kind of candy would you expect to be in the big jar at the counter? Jaw breakers.
13. What is the most distinguishing landmark in your city? Soon it will the Obama Library. (Tee hee to you haters.) Right now, I'll go with Buckingham Fountain. It's gorgeous and my heart swells a little every time I see it. But I'm only choosing the Fountain because my beloved Wrigley Field is still under construction.
14. Everyone hears discussions that they consider boring. What topic can put you to sleep quicker than any other? That Obama is a socialist/fascist/Muslim/Kenyan. Yawn. (This is a theme today.)
15. How many times did it take you to pass your drivers test? I passed the first time. Of course, I was 30.
16. If you had to have the same topping on your vanilla ice cream for the rest of your life, what topping would you choose? Chocolate sauce.
17. What food item would need to be removed from the market altogether in order for you to live a healthier, longer life? Caffeine. I consume way too much of it.
18. You are offered an envelope that you know contains $50. You are
then told that you may either keep it or exchange it for another
envelope that may contain $500 or may be empty. Do you keep the first
envelope, or do you take your chances with the second? I'll take my chance and go for the $500. Now if it started at $500 with an option for $5000, I'd quit while ahead.
19. If you had to choose, which would you give up: cable TV, or DSL/cable internet? This question causes me agita because I don't want to give up either. But I suppose (gulp) cable because I can watch shows and the news online.
20. What is your highest level of education? I started but didn't finish college.
21. How much is a gallon of gas in your city? What was the highest it’s been? I don't drive, so I'm only dimly aware of these things. But I just walked by BP this afternoon and saw it was $2.99. I remember everyone squawking when it $4.00+ a couple years ago.
22. What kind of lunch box did you have as a kid? It included Barbie, Francie and Skipper.
23. What would you rather have, a nanny, a housekeeper, a cook, or a chauffeur? Chauffeur
24. Would you rather be trapped in an elevator, or stuck in traffic? You didn't mislead us. This is a very random meme, indeed! If I must choose, I'll go with stuck in traffic.
These are the thoughts and observations of me — a woman of a certain age. (Oh, my, God, I'm 65!) I'm single. I'm successful enough (independent, self supporting). I live just outside Chicago, the best city in the world. I'm an aunt and a friend. I feel that voices like mine are rather underrepresented online or in print. So here I am. If my musings resonate with you, please visit my blog again sometime.
That fountain is gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeleteI really need to visit Chicago. So much to see and do!
ReplyDeleteI'm vacillating between wanting to read other responses to this...and being afraid of what I'll find that pisses me off.
ReplyDeleteOK, not as bad as I expected they'd be. Pretty much the Usual Suspects of Stupid. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou do know I'm not a Republican, I hope. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy husband promised me several years ago he would take me to Chicago, but we haven't made it there yet. Maybe when I am better.
