Sunday Stealing - The Madness Meme Part 2

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!!!

Today we ripped off a blogger named Tense Teacher from the blog Tense for a Reason. It's long so we'll do it in two parts. She stole it from The Coffee Table. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Sunday Stealing: The Madness Meme, Part 2

Cheers to all of us thieves!

23. Do you ever walk around the house naked? Sometimes, if I'm home only only though.

24. If you were an animal what would you be? Why? Who's asking? Barbara WaWa?

25. Hair color you like on someone you’re dating? Doesn't matter. But hair is a plus. Lol?

26. If suffering an injury, would you rather be left blind or deaf? Probably deaf. I don't think I could stand not seeing all the beauty that is out there. And seeing my kids faces. I would miss music, but I wouldn't want to miss all that.

27. Do you have any special talents? I don't think so.

28. What do you do as soon as you walk in the house? If it's after work, I put my coat and backpack in my room.

29. Do you like horror or comedy? Comedy! I don't care for horror movies, too much gore.

30. Are you missing anyone? My parents...and my bff.

31. Where do you want to live when you are old? Here is good.

32. Who is the person you can count on the most? My kids, mostly my son. He rocks!

33. If you could date any celebrity past or present, who would it be? I don't know that I'd want to "date" her, but I think a conversation over dinner or coffee with Katherine Hepburn would be fascinating.

34. What did you dream last night? I don't remember. I usually don't remember.

35. What is your favorite sport to watch? Baseball. Go Cubbies?

36. Are you named after anyone? I'm named after 2 people, from my mom's side.

37. What is your favorite alcoholic drink? Margaritas are good!

38. Non alcoholic drink? Iced tea with lemon.

39. Have you ever been in love? Yes.

40. Do you sing in the shower? Sometimes, but I think I hum more than I sing.

41. Have you ever been arrested? Not yet. Lol!

42. What is your favorite Holiday? Christmas, even though last year's was pretty much ruined. I think I enjoy most seeing the looks on my kid's faces at what Santa got them. I give Santa some really good hints.

43. Would you ever get plastic surgery? I don't think so. I'm not a fan of going under the knife for any reason, let alone for vanity.

44. Have you ever caught a fish? Yes I have, once. And I was glad I did cuz it kinda made having my sister over turn the boat when I got in, and then went under the water and came up under the pier.

Thank you for playing this week on Sunday Stealing! Please leave a comment or link when you have posted. Stop back and visit other player’s posts. That is really what this is all about, making new friends! Have a great week. See you next Sunday!

Sunday Stealing - The Madness Meme Part 1

Since this meme looked fun and it's a two part meme, I thought I'd catch up and post this one earlier, and part 2 later in the day.

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”.

Sunday Stealing: The Madness Meme, Part 1

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. Have you ever licked the back of a CD to try to get it to work? It never occurred to me to do that. Probably because it doesn't seem like it would work.

2. What’s the largest age difference between yourself and someone you’ve dated? Probably 9 years....younger. ;)

3. Ever been in a car wreck? Yup. Several.

4. Were you popular in high school? Who me? Now THAT'S funny!

5. Have you ever been on a blind date? Technically speaking, all of my dates have been blind because I've always done online dating.

6. Are looks important? Looks aren't number 1 on my list. But I also think that what is considered good looking to one person, may not be to another. Personality and sense of humor are probably tops on my list. (If I actually made a list.)

7. Do you have any friends that you’ve known for 10 years or more? Nope. I've always been friend challenged.

8. By what age would you like to be married? Hmm, well, definitely don't want to get married to a man. To a woman, perhaps one day. We'll see.

9. Does the number of people a person’s slept with affect your view of them? I guess that depends if they are in the double digits, triple digits, or more. I think it depends on the age of the person and the life they've led that affects how I view a person.

10. Have you ever made a mistake? Isn't that the only way to learn?

11. Are you a good tipper? I can be. I'm definitely more generous when I can afford to be and the service deserve it.

12. What’s the most you have spent for a haircut? Probably $20. It' not something I spend a lot of money on. I've had some fantastic $5 haircuts. Too bad there aren't any of those places near where I live now.

13. Have you ever had a crush on a teacher? Probably, but I don't recall a specific instance.

14. Have you ever peed in public? Define public? If you use a public restroom, isn't that "in public"?

15. What song do you want played at your funeral? Gotta be The Rolling Stones "You Can't Always Get What You Want". I love that in the opening funeral scene of "The Big Chill". And it's something I've mockingly sang at my kids since they were little. I hope it give them a chuckle and brings back good memories.

16. Would you tell your parents if you were gay? I most definitely would have had they been living when I figured it out.

17. What would your last meal be before getting executed? I dunno. Should you order something light? Or something heavy?

18. Beatles or Stones? See #15.

19. If you had to pick one person on earth to die, who would it be? I couldn't pick. Besides, didn't President Obama get all the big names?

20. Beer, wine or hard liquor? Depends on my mood. A margarita sounds good right about now though.

21. Do you have any phobias? I'm afraid of heights.

22. What are your plans for the future? I would like to meet my grandchildren.

Saturday 9 - How Long...

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: How Long

1. Have your discovered a betrayal? If so, did you ask, “How long has THIS been going on”? Yup. Nuf said.

2. What is the longest line you've ever stood in? Would you do it again? I tend not to stand in line anymore because of my back, however, I have stood in line probably an hour. Black Friday. Would I do it again? Yes, if I had the money to spend and it was something that was a great deal.

3. Someone has hung a sign around your neck, and you have to wear it all day long. What does it say? Smile!

4. As the Christmas season approaches, what song is it that you just can't wait to hear? I really can't think of one I can't wait to hear. Nothing comes to mind. I think I'd have to scroll through my Ipod for some ideas.

5. What Christmas song do you dread to hear? "Give Peace A Chance" John Lennon. Ugh!

6. How often do you read the last chapter of a book first? Never.

7. Do you have a favorite movie that you just love to see each year during the holidays? I have several favorites, but they have to be the original, not the 'colorized' versions. "It's A Wonderful Life", "Holiday Inn", "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation", "Jingle All The Way".

8. Do you enjoy winter in the area that you live? I would if my teenagers would actually shovel, instead of go out for 10 minutes and shuffle around and come back in and say they are done. Also, I'd enjoy it more if I got my snow thrower going.

9. At holiday I think we all show more kindness. In your opinion, is this a “concept” that has value (like money or other tangible things) or does it exist as simply emotion? Why? I think it's invaluable. It's just too bad that people only show it during the holiday season.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

The holidays are fast approaching...what do you dread most?

What is it that you dread most about the upcoming holidays?

Sure the gift wrapping is a bore, but I have my system...my tradition of watching Christmas classics as I attempt to wrap every single, solitary gift in 1 gift wrapping session. Every now and then I'll add a new movie to the collection to change things up.

Sure the crowded stores and malls are obnoxious, but I haven't done that in years. This year's strategy is to hit the resale shops early for high end, quality, gently used/like new or NWT clothing, then add in some unique gifts specially chosen for the recipient, possibly something handmade...then I'm done. I probably will still check out the Black Friday ads, however, if I make any purchases, they will likely be online, rather than at a brick and mortar store.

What I dread most...and it's something I haven't had to deal with in 4 years...is the holidays at the office. Don't get me wrong, I really actually like the people I work with, which is really nice for a change (no one calling me a bitch or miming inappropriate sexual acts in the office). The thing I dread most about holidays at the office is the Secret Santa. While the people I work with are really nice, I don't know much about them, nor do they no much about me. It's the whole, you don't want to appear cheap, yet don't want to look like you way overspent...and you don't want to get something totally wrong, or wuss out and get a gift card. At my previous job I simply refused to participate because of the...office dynamics. If my office does the Secret Santa thing, I will participate, but I will also dread it.

So...what do you dread about the upcoming holiday season? Tell us in the Comment section.

YEAH!!!!

How the hell have you been???

October 30, 2011 7:31 PM

Depends on which day you ask about. Lol! Overall, I'd say pretty good.

How have you all been?

Answer to the first Ask me a question part dos...

Ok, when I posted my Answer to First Ask Me A Question, I asked: Which 5 things on the list do I actually want to do?

Only 1 person responded:

Lin said...

I'm going with:
white water rafting
tattoo
play guitar
skydive
and write your memoir

Am I right????

November 1, 2011 8:44 PM

White water rafting? I was scarred for life getting into a small boat with a motor after my sister got in first. She was hugging the flippin' end of the pier so her weight was all on the side closest to the pier. When I stepped in...the boat rolled, flipping me under water, and under the pier.
Skydiving? You must be joking! Lol!
Lin got 3 out of 5 correct!
Get a tattoo - I decided that I wanted to get a tattoo when I turned 50. Since that happened in July, I decided to change it to get a tattoo while I'm 50.
Play guitar - I've always wanted to learn to play guitar. It would be so cool to learn and then bring it along camping and sing Kumbaya around the campfire. Lol! And no, I just don't want to learn Kumbaya, I want to learn some cool stuff too.
Write my memoir - Let's just say, no matter what angle I took, it would be a fascinating read. Lol!
The other 2 were learn to speak fluent Spanish, and learn to Salsa dance.

Rosie/OWN

I used to watch Rosie's old show religiously. I loved it. I'm not so sure about this one.

I haven't watched every episode, but I think I've watched enough to know that I'm not too keen on it.

I saw the episode where she visited the Bra Whisperer. I was pretty much mortified by her behavior. I'm not a prude, but when I got an awesome fitting bra awhile back I wasn't showing it to everyone. (Well...I did participate in down the shirt front camera shots at a bar once, but that was at a bar...not on television.)

Maybe I'm not liking the single Rosie? I dunno. I think the monologue is wayyy too long. She talks over her guests all the time. (Did she get that from being on The View?)

I want to like her. I want to support "family", but I dunno.

I don't much care for her idol worship of Oprah. She's always talking about her as if she's the best thing since sliced bread or something.

I do see that she's doing some of the same things she did on the old show, like giving away cool prizes to the audience.

Maybe if she gave me and my family a free Rosie cruise I'd change my mind.
