Sunday Stealing - The Meme From Memphis Part 1

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. 

Today we ripped off a blogger named Memphis Steve from the blog Steve's Nude Memphis Blog. He does not say where he got it from, but judging by his profile picture, we don not want to know!   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! Click on Steve's name to see his real profile picture...


Be honest, who texted you last?  A friend of my gf.

Do you sleep with the bedroom door open or closed? 
Closed.

Do you drink tea? 
Yes,

Do you have plans for tomorrow? 
Finish my taxes and the other tax returns I'm doing.

What’s worse: dry skin or chapped lips? 
Chapped lips.

Would you be surprised if Facebook started charging? 
No.  But they don't need to now, and if they did I think other social media would suddenly appear for free.

Would you rather go to Canada or California on vacation? 
Already been to CA, so It'd be Canada, ay!

How many social media sites are you registered with?  
I think 4.

Are you wearing jeans, shorts, sweatpants or pajama pants? 
None of the above. :)

So, what if you changed lives for one day with the last person you texted? 
Ewww!

Last person you told a secret to? 
Probably my gf.

What are you listening to at the moment? 
"King of the Nerds".  This show rocks!  But then again...only a fellow nerd would know that.

Where was the last place you fell asleep other than your bed? 
Loveseat.  Every Sunday I get up for CBS Sunday Morning, and I always fall asleep after it.  (Because I should sleep longer, but I enjoy the show.  And yes...I dvr it, but there's something about a cup a joe and watching it live.)

Is there someone that you believe you will always be attached to? 
Yes.

Are you going to any concerts this year? 
I hope so, but I don't currently have any planned.

Do you believe in Karma? 
Yes.

Review: Schwan's Quality Food Home Delivered

I received some sample products from Schwan's.  Some of you may already be familiar with Schwan's, others may have seen their trucks in your neighborhood and wondered what they are all about.  Schwan's delivers high quality frozen foods, everything from meats and seafood, to entrees, appetizers, ice creams and desserts

They also have a LiveSmart™ line of products:
  • Delicious, real, better-for-you food
  • Minimal additives or preservatives
  • Moderate calories, sodium and fat
  • Zero grams trans fat
My sample products were shipped via UPS to my door with dry ice in a foam box.  The items arrived frozen solid as they should be.  I received Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts.  These were delicious and moist and didn't have that overpowering taste of salt that most other brands of individually frozen Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts have.

 

 The other product I received was from their LiveSmart™ line of products.  LiveSmart™ ENTICINGS™ Chocolate and Vanilla Low-Fat Ice Cream Sandwiches.

 
I have to say, I usually don't care for "light", "diet", "low fat" products.  I seem to always taste the difference and don't care for the funky taste they have.  These are not the usual good for you treats you find.  These were delicious, and I honestly could not tell a difference from the usual full fat ice cream I've had.  Each sweet treat also provides a good source of fiber and contains 4 grams of protein.  I would definitely have these again.

Schwan's products can be ordered online or on the phone and delivered via UPS, or delivered from Schwan's Home Service Trucks. Click here to request a catalog.

Lola's Diner Disclaimer: I was given these Schwan's products to review. This review is 100% my opinion and has not been edited or reviewed by anyone. I was not compensated in any other way for this review.
