SATURDAY 9 Meme: What a Fool Believes


Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday.
Saturday 9: What a Fool Believes

1. What celebrity do you think is the MOST foolish?
Most of the under 25s are still learning the hard way...can't pinpoint one, but they are usually the younger people in the celebrity world.

2. What are 5 things you don't care about?
SPORTS
NASCAR
GAMING
COUNTRY MUSIC
POLITICS

3. What 'issue' do you think your opinion is so right about that you end up trying to sway others to your point of view?
I've given up trying in many cases, but paying taxes on hard-earned income when you make less than $250K is a crime. I just got audited.

4. What personality do you like to listen to on the radio?
None now except the Car Talk guys on NPR. I used to enjoy Paul Harvey for his cheesy stories and Imus In the Morning (when he was still funny back in the 1970s).

5. What culture are you fascinated by?
Indian and Egyptian cultures have always fascinated me. I'd love to visit both countries.

6. You are alone with your lover's diary. What do you do?
Huh? It's his privacy I respect. Same thing with an "on" computer...I don't peek. I know what I need to know without reading his writings.

7. What frustrates you?
Being accused of doing something I didn't.

8. Do you remember the first time you were on the internet? What did you do first?
I bought a brand new 2GB HP Computer and got set up, online with AOL and went on eBay. I'd seen it on a friend's computer. This was back in the mid-1990s.

9. What was the biggest fight you have ever had with someone?
My niece was about to marry a man who needed a green card. My husband said terrible things to her about her future husband. I sided with him, thinking she was making a mistake. She said terrible, unforgivable things about me. This was over 14 years ago and we are still not speaking.

ROCK n ROLL Fridays MEME: BLONDIE

Today we picked BLONDIE!


1. HANGING ON THE TELEPHONE : “ You’ve got me hangin on the telephone…”
Have you ever fallen asleep while talking on the phone?
Yes and it was when Bud and I first started dating. I had a glass of wine and just faded out of the conversation. Something jarred me awake, but I think he knew I was asleep for part of the talk.

2. ONE WAY OR ANOTHER : “One way or another, I’m gonna find ya. I’m gonna get ya , I’ll get ya…”
Where is the oddest place you agreed to meet someone?
Yesterday I met a potential employer at a Dunkin Donuts for a job interview. He did not want the person in the office to know he was interviewing replacements. It was humbling to have my questions and answers so out in the open and being observed by so many people.

3. PRETTY BABY : “Pretty baby, you look so heavenly. A neo nebula from under the sun…”
Post your baby picture here.
Of course I am eating something sweet... licking frosting off the mixer beater...

4. RIP HER TO SHREDS : “Check out those shoes. She looks like she stepped out of the middle of somebody’s blues. She looks like the Sunday comics, she thinks she’s Brenda Starr…”
Who did you last rip apart or gossip about?
We just watched NOWHERE BOY and I was gossiping to Bud about the director of the film who is in her 40s getting engaged to the star of the film who was 19 when they met and fell in love.

5. ATOMIC : “Oh, oh heart make it magnificent. Tonight , tonight….”
Do you believe in nuclear energy? If not, what type of power do you prefer?
I was an armed guard at a nuclear power plant in the 1980s...I was then and still am opposed to nuclear energy. There is not enough preventive maintanance to convince me it couldn't be catastrophic eventually.

6. PICTURE THIS : “All I want is a photo in my wallet. A small remembrance of something more solid. All I want is a picture of you.”
Are you into photography? What do you usually photograph?
I love photography and photograph people and places. I love photographing animals also. Recently did a slide show of a holiday party I photographed at Buds sister's house.

7. DENIS : “Denis Denis I’m so in love with you. You’re my king. I’m in heaven every time I look at you…”
What is your favorite name that is used by both boys and girls (Example: Jean/Gene)?
"Stupid"...jk...Sam is cool.

8. UNION CITY BLUE : “Oh ho, oh ho, what are we gonna do? Union, union, union city blue. Tunnel to the other side. It becomes daylight.”
Are you in a union? Do you believe in them?
I was in a couple of unions, but never found a need to use them myself. I know they help establish work practices, but I find they are a waste of money for me, unless the place is a total sweat shop. I think they really need one at WalMart.

9. HEART OF GLASS : “Love is so confusing there’s no peace of mind. If I fear I’m losing you, it’s just no good. You teasing like you do…”
When was the last time you teased someone?
I teased my father in the nursing home he is recovering in. A nurse was pretending to flirt with him and I asked if I should have the doctor prescribe some viagra for him while he was here. (not funny to write/read here but everyone involved laughed at the time...he is 90 yrs old).

10. DREAMING : “Dream, dream. Even for a little while. Dream, dream. Filling up an idle hour. Fade away….radiate…”
What do you daydream about?
Doing something with Bud, or planning out the new house colors...

11. CALL ME : “Cover me with kisses baby, cover me with love. Roll me in designer sheets, I’ll never get enough…”
Should prostitution be legal? Why or why not?
Sure. Regulate it, tax it and require the gals (and guys) to be medically fit for work. It's supply and demand, after all...no worse than a burger maker at McDonalds. You sell your time...I wonder how you disconnect from sex, but I also could never work in a slaughterhouse.

12. RAPTURE : “Fab Five Freddy told me everbody’s fly…”
Who is your favorite rap artist, or if you don’t like rap music, what about it do you dislike?
I get a kick out of most rap. I love the rhymes and creative mixing. I know it's crazy, but I like Eminem for his extreme sarcasm.

13. EAT TO THE BEAT : “Hey you gotta tummy ache, and I remember sitting in the bathroom drinking up a seltzer. Eat to the beat…”
When was the last time you had a tummy ache and what caused it?
Ooof...it was the other night. Threw up twice. It was after a big party we threw for his son and had 11 people over. I ate a lot of the snacks and appetizers, then beltted down 4 glasses of wine in a half hour...Poor Bud held my hair back while I puked and coughed. True love tested for sure!

DATING PROFILES meme:

Welcome to Thursday Dating Profiles. This meme is based on a feature from WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Either you have used sites such as Match.com or Yahoo Personals or you’ve read them.

WEDNESDAY WICKEDNESS meme: Steven Tyler

Today Sam picked Steven Tyler. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!


1. And the things that come to those that wait may be the things left by those that got there first.
When was the last time that you wanted to do something, it was done before you got there?
I wanted to make Bud's father a drink, but Bud already got it for him. I wanted to sit and break the ice with it.

2. As good as I am, I'm nothing without my band.
Do you feel there is anyone you could not do without?
Me, myself and I... and Bud.

3. Back then it was nothing like today. So you'd go to the bowling alley. We bowled and you could be in the back and you could make out, you know? And you know how hot it was to make out.
When you were young and innocent, what place did you make out?
Do the young and innocent "make out"?! I used to have a AAA map that had all these remote woodsy parking places marked with Xs on it and would bring it along on dates. It got quite dog-eared and wrinkled over time, so bottom line, usually in the car.

4. Drugs will get you out of your own way, but we lived it, and that's dangerous. It can actually turn around on itself and steal your soul, and that's what happened.
Were you ever tempted by something that could “steal your soul”?
I lived in Los Angeles for 3 years and if ever there was a place to steal your soul, that was it. Leaving L.A. was the best way to avoid that temptation.

5. Every life has a measure of sorrow, and sometimes this is what awakens us.
How do you deal with sorrow?
Shopping, eating ice cream, or taking a long drive in the country and yaking photos of the landscape. Sometimes all three.


6. Fake it until you make it.
Did you ever have dreams of making it in showbiz in some capacity?
As a rock drummer...

7. Humility is really important because it keeps you fresh and new.
What keeps you fresh and new?
I meditate in the shower.

8. I don't mind being a grandfather.
If you are a grandparent, do you at first “mind it”? If you aren't, how do you think that you would feel about it?
Bud's grandchildren have called me "Grammie", and, tho charming they seem to like me, I find it unsettling and feel old. I dislike aging.

9. I grew up in New Hampshire. My closest neighbor was a mile away. The deer and the raccoons were my friends. So I would spend time walking through the woods, looking for the most beautiful tropical thing that can survive the winter in the woods in New Hampshire.
Do you enjoy winter where you live?
Yes, but we have had too much bad weather this year. I enjoy each season for about a month, then would love a change. Waiting on Spring...

10. I have to get inspired by something that touches my soul, or rocks my soul.
What rocks your soul?
MUSIC

SATURDAY 9 meme: My Woman From Tokyo

Saturday 9: My Woman From Tokyo

1. Have you ever been to Japan? If not would you like to travel there?
No I have not. I would love to visit the mountains and see their historic temples.

2. Have you ever played a game that required removal of clothing?
Ummm...yep.
 3. Have you ever dated one of your best friends?
Yes. Just before Bud. It's difficult to be best friends with a former datemate.

4. Have you ever kissed someone you didn't know?
One New Year's Eve at a nightclub at 19, I kissed EVERY man in the crowded room at midnight. My bad.

5. What is your secret guaranteed weeping movie?
Imitation of Life... the 1936 version about 2 single moms, one african-american and one white american, raising their daughters together and starting what seems to be the Aunt Jemima Pancake Company. I always cry when the funeral begins.

6. What feature are you most insecure about?
I have a snaggle tooth that ruins my smile on one side. In some photos, I can appear to have a tooth missing if the light shines on it the right way.

7. What do you miss most about being young?
Being young! Having the future to fall back on as an excuse not to act NOW and daydream of glories. The future came too fast for me. I was not ready for becoming a middle aged woman. "shudders".

8. Who is the most annoying musical artist EVER?
Broadway singers (anyone with a heavy vibratto in their voice).

9. Have you ever applied for a job that was an internet hoax, asking for credit history and your social security number?
About 100 times. If you look at job ads on Craig's List, many of the plain title "Admin Assistant","Office Manager" or "Front Desk" are bait. If you apply to them, you get a generic e-mail from "Hiring Manager" or "HR @ someone's name.com" telling you that you are the perfect candidate for the position (they never specify WHAT position) and you are recommended to get a credit report by using THEIR link, or can take an IQ quiz as the first step of the hiring process.

The landing page for the Credit Report is a bogus credit agency. Now your e-mail is registered to be sold to spam companies, or your banking info is gathered for ID Theft crime.

The other scam is a job site that promises great jobs in your area. You fill out an "application" and they send you a list of jobs to "apply" for. Every time you apply for any of those jobs, you get calls asking if you want to sign up for online education courses! I still get calls, even after reporting them to authorities.

What really bothers me about these scams is that they prey upon poor unemployed people. Kickin a man when he's down so to speak.

ROCK n ROLL FRIDAYS meme: The ART Bands

Today we picked The Art Rock Bands.

What is Art Rock? Also known as experimental rock, progressive rock, avant garde and psychedelic rock, Art Rock is a piece of music that appeals more intellectually or musically and is not formulated along pop lines for mass consumption.

1. YES … AND YOU AND I : “Coins and crosses never know their fruitless worth..”

What inanimate object do you cherish?
Presently, my new remote car starter. Like the GPS, I have no idea how I managed without it in Winter.

2. MOODY BLUES … MELANCHOLY MAN : “Another man is what you'll see, Who looks like you and looks like me, And yet somehow he will not feel the same, His life caught up in misery, he doesn't think like you and me…”
When have you felt like an outcast?
In a room with people discussing sports.

3. EMERSON LAKE & PALMER … THE ENDLESS ENIGMA : “I've seen paupers as kings, Puppets on strings, Dance for the children who star. You must have seen them everywhere”
How did you entertain a young child recently?
I got Bud's 2 grandaughters a cat robot and puppy robot. They walk and meow/bark and wag their tails, but are noisy little things. I'm sure both toys will wind up on eBay when Mommy starts to lose it, but it was fun watching the kids enjoy hugging and playing with them.

4. KING CRIMSON … THE COURT OF THE CRIMSON KING : “The purple piper plays his tune, The choir softly sing; Three lullabies in an ancient tongue, For the court of the crimson king…”
Who is your favorite instrumental group or player?
I'm digging the retro sounds of Jackie Gleason's orchestra, Ray Anthony, and 101 Strings... the kind of stuff my parents swooned to. I am compiling music and photos for a slide show for my father's service when it comes.

5. PINK FLOYD … US AND THEM : “I've got things on my mind, for want of the price of tea and a slice, the old man died…”

Do you give money to beggars?
Yes. I also give a buck to whatever charity is begging at the grocery entrance, and I buy GS cookies, even tho they are wicked over-priced.

6. DAVID BOWIE … SPACE ODDITY : “Ground control to Major Tom, Your circuits dead, there's something wrong, Can you hear me, Major Tom?”
Who were you speaking with the last time you had a dropped the call?
My brother. We were discussing my father's nursing home issues while I was driving and I went into a dead zone on the highway.

7. ROXY MUSIC … OH YEAH : “Day and night drifting into love, Driving you home from a movie show, So in tune to the sounds in my car…”
Do you have a special romantic song you love to listen to in the car?
"Always and Forever" either Luther's or Heatwave's version. Both are great.

8. VELVET UNDERGROUND … FEMME FATALE : “See the way she walks, Hear the way she talks, You're put down in her book, You're number 37, have a look…”
Have you dated a lot of people? (More than 10)
Umm...almost as many as Bud Weiser. Do I win something?

9. THE NICE … COUNTRY PIE : “Listen to the fiddler play, When he's playin' 'til the break of day, Oh me, oh my, Love that country pie.”
What is your favorite kind of pie?
Chocolate Cream or Coconut Custard

10. FRANK ZAPPA … DON’T YOU EAT THAT YELLOW SNOW : “And the northern lights commenced to glow, And she said, with a tear in her eye, Watch out where the huskies go, and don't you eat that yellow snow…”

Have you ever eaten snow?
Yep, but not yellow. ;-)

11. GENESIS …THROWING IT ALL AWAY : “When there's nothing that I can say -we're throwing it all away…”
What was the last thing you threw away?
The K-Cup container after I brewed my coffee and some empty Splenda packets.

12. KATE BUSH …THE DREAMING : “Many an aborigine’s mistaken for a tree, see the light ram through the gaps in the land. You near him on the motorway and the tree began to breathe…”

Have you ever accidentally killed or injured an animal with your car?
I have killed 2 poor creatures. An opossum (sp?) that ran into my wheel (ick) late one night and quickly died... and a cute little black kitten. The kitten zoomed into the street in the middle of the day. I shudder thinking about it. The tire hit the kitten's spine and back legs...and as I looked horrified in my rearview mirror, it was writhing in pain, flopping around in the street. The loud, anguished meowing still haunts me to this day... and it happened over 20 years ago.

13. JETHRO TULL … LOCOMOTIVE BREATH : “In the shuffling madness Of the locomotive breath, Runs the all time loser, Headlong to his death…”
Have you ever been in a dangerous situation where you could have been hurt or killed?
I hitch-hiked alone in Ireland on a rainy day. I had 4 major surgeries. I had 2 car accidents. I was in the Army. I dated a lot of potential serial killers. I guess I have put myself in risky situations over the years. Glad I am still here to tell the stories. : )

8. Hi! im ,from philippines right now im here inkorea working.
That's terrific! And...is this a plea to be rescued from the slave trade?

9. i don´t have a tv and no real interest in tv or films, may sound strange in these modern times, however, wasting time with a take out dinner and a dvd is not my kind of evening.
A lynching in the backyard? A coupla hours shootin' squirrels out of trees? Joy ridin' to the Wal-Mart? Tendin' to the sqwarsh garden? SO glad to see you live a full life without those pesky Arts to get in the way.

10. I do enjoy the occasional wild night.
"Pass the grey poupon please".

WEDNESDAY WICKEDNESS meme: Ricky Gervais

Today Janera picked Ricky Gervais.


Here's Wednesday Wickedness!






1. “Why buy a book when you can join a library.”
When was your last trip to a library?
I used to go weekly only a few years ago when I lived in Marlborough, MA and Hudson, MA. Marlborough's library has a terrific DVD and VHS section. I find myself too busy to go these days, but I rarely read books, so it's no big deal.

2. “People see me in the suit and they know I'm not fooling anyone, they know I'm rock and roll through and through.”
Does your attire properly represent you?
Most of the time it represents an aspect of my personality. My office attire is professional, casual is neat, dressy is elegant, and the nighties are Bud magnets.

3. “I'm from a little place called England ... We used to run the world before you.”
Do you feel the United States really runs the world?
I am embarrased by the USA's desire to bully everyone in the world into their mainstream policies, including the missionaries who try to dupe the 3rd world folks into their biased ideology.

4. “No one grows up saying 'I hope I work in an office one day?' And that fascinated me. People from 16 to 65 are just thrown together and that is a tantalizing mix.”
When was the last time that you worked in an office like that?
I worked in a large office for a medical software company that was a mixture of ages, cultures and attitudes that spanned the cast of Both Brit and American versions of THE OFFICE show. Yes, these people exist.

5. “Where there's a will-there's a relative!”
Do you have a will? If yes, have you ever changed it?
I do not, but probably will soon. I have no children, and if I pass, I am hoping my worldly goods can be donated or sold and given to either a local food shelter or animal rescue. I am of the mind that no one in my family will profit from my death that cares about me, or pretends to.

6. "When I see a toreador in a bullfight getting gored I think: `Good, you shouldn`t be in there`. What is the pleasure in seeing an animal speared to death? It`s the same with fox hunting. They`re just psychopaths.”
How do you feel about bull fighting and hunting?
I am totally opposed to bull fighting, animal racing (dogs and horses and pigs) and sport hunting. That being said, I believe it is more humane for the entire deer region for trained hunters to systematically kill some, (by a quick well-placed bullet, not crossbow arrows) rather than allow them to breed and over-populate their area and starve in winter.

7. “Money gives me the creeps and mildly embarrasses me. I get paid too much anyway.”
Have you ever thought that you were over paid for a job?
No. I have thought I was underpaid tho...

8. “I hate lateness. I hate people who are late. There is no excuse for turning up late for anything. I`ve never been late for anything in my life. I was actually born a week premature, because I wanted to be early for my own birth.”
Are you usually on time for things?
I am usually right on time or late a few minutes.

9. “I have plenty of pet hates. I can`t stand people scraping their plate or slurping their soup. I can`t stand waiting in lines. I hate people talking inanely about the Lord Of The Rings. I hate people whistling. But I`m not like this because I`m famous. I`ve always been a grumpy bastard.”
What are your “pet hates”?
Snapping gum chewers. Bad service of any kind, especially customer service and restaurant staff. Public breast-feeding. Noisy children. Cats climbing on me when I visit someone....let me count the ways.

10. “I don`t like all this stupid Gollum begat Wobblo and the Oompa Loompas and...Oh Jesus Christ! There was too much "Oh, God, here come the gloodloys..." Christ Almighty, what are they talking about!?”
Are you a fan of “Lord of the Rings”?
I wanted to like it, but NO, I think it is all DARK and gloomy. I don't care about the hobbits at all.

Ralph Nadar...

Pagan Meme : by Miaerowyn

B A S I C S

Do you have a magical/Pagan name?
Yes, I am known as Akasha in the pagan world.

How did you find Paganism?
In 1991 I was doing research for an upcoming interview on my radio show with a witch from Salem, MA. After reading some books and speaking with a variety of witches, within a few months, I knew this was my path.

How long have you been practicing?
Since 1991.

Are you out of the broom closet?
With some close people, not the public.

Solitary or group practitioner?
I have attended rituals and meetings with a few groups, but prefer to practice alone. I'm not much of a club joiner.

What is your path?
Neo-Pagan

D E I T Y


Who is your patron Goddess?
Aphrodite and a generic all-encompassing female diety. No male gods, however Pan comes into play once in awhile.

Do you fear darkly aspected Gods/Goddesses, or rather respect them?
Don't believe in them.

Do you worship the Christian God?
NO WAY. It does not make sense to a logical mind and the rules and regulations are somewhat clouded with ideology that is bigoted, elitist and sexist.

 Do you worship animals? Or plants?
I love dogs, owls and hawks, but I do not worship them.

 N A T U R E

Do you regularly commune with nature?
Yes, every day.

Taken a camping trip just to talk to nature?
I've taken countless day trips in my car.

Describe the moment you felt closest to Mother Earth.
I feel very close to nature at the very beginning of each season. Autumn is my favorite and most spiritual.

Do you have a familiar?
I took a drumming meditation class and found my token animals were hawks and owls.

Have you ever called upon the powers of an animal in ritual?
In a moment of confusion, I called upon the spirit of a hawk to guide me to the right decision.

Yes. I love trees.

Give them gifts?
When I take a pine tree from the ground for Yule, or gather pine cones for crafts, I always push a crystal into the soil to replace it.

Roses, Apples, Carnations.

What are your favourite trees to work with?
Pine, Oak and Maple.

Yes. The first was February 1992 Imbolc.

 Ever taken a day off work to celebrate a Pagan holiday?
No. Not yet anyway.

Both. Most of my friends and my lover celebrate Dec 25th for the winter holiday.

Have you ever felt the veil thin?
Yes, once especially on Samhain when in a deep Alpha state.

Ever danced the Maypole?
In my head, not in real life. Yet.

Know what the Maypole symbolizes?
Fertility...Beltaine is a blast!

Privately.

D I V I N A T I O N

Do you use Tarot?
Yes, it's my favorite divination tool. I have several different decks.

Do you use runes?
I have them, but have not studied using them yet. I love the symbols.

Do you use a pendulum?
Yes, it's my 2nd favorite divination tool. I make my own charts for using it. I have 2 pendulums.

Do you use dowsing rods?
Not yet.

Do you use astrology?
Yes. I used to be a Pisces before the 13th System arrived this past week. I am Aquarius by that system, but I fit the Pisces traits so much better. I truly believe I am a Pisces.

Any other forms of divination?

Smoked Glass Gazing (Scrying).

S P E L L S

What was the first spell you did?
A personal spell to find my spirit guide. I saw an elderly woman smiling back at me in my mind. I thought a younger spirit was my guide and was confused which seemed to amuse her.

What was the latest?
For a safe, smooth and happy move. It was.

Ever done a love spell?
Yes. I did a serious spell for a special man...outlined several traits I wanted him to have. He had all of those traits...but I didn't get detailed enough because he had other traits I could not live with.
I'd married him by the time I discovered those. We are now divorced.
I got very good advice from a priestess once that I ignored (and regret to this day)...be very careful what you wish for...you may get it, but also be very specific, or you may wind up unhappy with your choice.

A job spell?
Yes, and I got the job!

A healing spell?
Yes for myself and for others around me.

What was the most powerful spell you’ve ever performed?
Outside of the man spell, I did a very powerful spell for an apartment. I imagined a lot of rooms and storage. Within a week I'd signed a lease for a great apartment with lots of rooms and full attic storage!

What deities do you usually call on?
Goddess energy and universal spirit. No specific gods or goddesses.

C R Y P T O Z O O L O G Y

Do you believe in vampires?
I believe there are people who have blood issues and "crave" the chemicals in human blood. A survival thing. I think there is a fad now of young people adding to their sexual excitement by pretending to be vampyres. I do not believe in rising- from- the- coffin- at- dusk, blood- sucking, sun-fearing vampires.

Werewolves?
I've dated a few...oh wait, those were just wolves...lol...a little werewolf humor.

Shapeshifters?
Hmmm...not sure. I have seen people seem to dissappear...shapeshifter cloaking?

Elves?
I think there may be shadow people that are other dimentional creatures that cross paths with this dimention in optimum energy-atmospheric conditions. This would encompass Fairies, Elves, Troggs, Ghosts and Brownies.

Dragons?
No, but I like the images and I love dinosaurs...and they remind me of them. They are powerful protection symbols as inanimate objects that I respect.
Nymphs?
Possibly.

Pixies?
I think some people (human) have traits of pixies. (Ancient human race known as Picts).

Ever “seen” any of the above?
Shadows...

Ever used any of the above in magic?
I have dragon incense holders and a statue of a dragon as a water guardian.

Do you have one of them as a personal guardian?
No.

R A N D O M

Own a cat?
Yuk, no. I am a dog person.

When you meditate, what does your happy place look like?
Beautiful with fields or a tree lined path in the woods.

Do you work with chakras?
Yes, I totally believe in them. I love the throat chakra color of blue for communication and have used it while broadcasting.

Do you believe in past lives?
Yes. Reincarnation is a strong belief of mine.

Do you believe in soul mates?
Yes, but I think there may be more than one on the planet for any one person.

Is it always love and light?
Yes. I would never do a negative, manipulative or malicious spell. I would not harm anyone with magick, no matter how pissed off I got with them.

SATURDAY 9 meme: Wouldn't It Be Nice

Welcome to Saturday 9 : Wouldn't It Be Nice

1. What's the nicest thing a complete stranger ever did for you?
Came to visit me in the hospital. I'd just had major surgery and NO ONE from my family came, nor did my husband, whom I was in the midst of divorcing. I'd been communicating with a few people online who also had this surgery and one of them came to see me and brought balloons and walked with me around the nurse's station. It was the only visitor in my 5 days stay.

2. What one thing always speaks deeply to you, to your spirit, no matter your mood or what else is going on in your life?
Music.

3. How many jobs have you held in your life? How many of those were part of your chosen career field?
At last count...42 to be exact. Counting my 3 months as an eBay dealer, 43. I enjoyed the photo lab jobs the most.

4. Of those jobs, how many did you leave voluntarily?
Almost all of them...I was fired from my very first job at a movie thater as the popcorn girl at 16 for being late a lot.

5. How did you discover Saturday 9? How long have you played? (Thank you for joining in!)
Bud dragged me into this. I'd say about March or April this past year.

6. What's the worst beverage you've ever tasted?
A tie between Turkish Coffee and Ensure. I also gag if the Dunkee screws up and gives me hazelnut instead of regular coffee.

7. Is there anything in life you are "certain" about? Firm in your beliefs? Strong in your convictions?
I gotta be me.

8. How did you come up with the title of your blog's posts?
I copy them from the author.

9. Would you consider yourself a good cook?
Most of the time.  I enjoy baking more. I don't cook seafood or lamb because I don't eat it and am politically opposed to veal.

ROCK n ROLL FRIDAYS meme: The Beach Boys

Hi I'm DJ KathyA! Welcome to Rock 'n Roll Fridays. We are like other memes in that we will ask you thirteen questions each and every Friday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a singer, band, era or category and pick thirteen of their songs. Each of our questions will be based on the lyrics.

Today we picked The Beach Boys.

1. SURFER GIRL : “I have watched you on the shore, standing by the ocean's roar, do you love me do you surfer girl”
Were you ever interested in someone (other than a celebrity) who did not return your interest?
Yes. In 1977 I was in a car crash and the policeman who "rescued" me was near my age. I got an instant crush on him, like patients with nurses. He was just doing his job, but I took his kindness as a flirtation and pursued him for a whole year, even stalking his house. He was never interested in me, nor did he return my calls. I finally moved from the area and got over it.

2. BE TRUE TO YOUR SCHOOL : “So be true to your school now, just like you would for your girl or guy...”
Looking back, how do you feel about your high school days?
Blechh...outside of my band friends, I really hated High School.

3. FUN FUN FUN : “…and she’ll have fun fun fun till her daddy takes the T-Bird away…”
What was the worst punishment you received as a teenager?
My father slapped me in the face after I told my mother I hated her. I was 15 and he had NEVER struck me in any way prior to this moment.

4. I GET AROUND : “Round round get around, I get around”
Where did you go on your last long trip?
A horribly long train ride to NJ for a late christmas exchange, dinner, game nite and an exhausted overnite visit with Bud's family. It was an even worse trip back, with train delays, freezing cold weather and bad driving to stress me out to not want to ever go again.

5. HELP ME RHONDA : “You gotta help me Rhonda, help me get her off of my mind”
What do you do to cheer up after a personal tragedy such as a lost job, power outage or broken relationship?
Shopping! Eating! Let me count the ways...but usually a pint of ice cream should do it.

6. CALIFORNIA GIRLS : “I wish they all could be California girls. The west coast has the sunshine and the girls there get so tan, I dig a French bikini on Hawaiian island dolls, by a palm tree in the sand”
Where are the best boys found?
A toss up between England, Pennsylvania and New England...

7. SLOOP JOHN B : “I wanna go home, please let me go home, ya ya. Well this is the worst trip, I’ve ever been on…”
What is the worst trip you’ve ever been on?
See #4...

8. WOULDN’T IT BE NICE : “I guess the more we talk about it, it makes it harder just to live without it, but let’s talk about it…”
What is your biggest wish?
To be content...

9. IN MY ROOM : “There’s a place where I can go and tell my secrets to. In my room. In my room.”
What is your favorite thing about your own personal room or space in your home/office?
My make up table. I sit and think there while I paint the tapestry of skin.

10. GOD ONLY KNOWS : “You never need to doubt it, I’ll make you so sure about it. God only knows what I feel about you”
When was the last time you told a significant other or close relative that you loved them?
Today. xxo

11. GOOD VIBRATIONS : “My baby has good vibrations, she’s giving me excitations…”
When do you get good vibrations?
Oh come on, geez...Safely now, being with Bud usually conjures up a few.

12. KOKOMO : “We’ll go to Kokomo. We’ll get there fast and then we’ll take it slow. That’s where I wanna go…”
What is your favorite warm weather destination?
I absolutely hate warm weather destinations, so my answer is "into anywhere with air conditioning".

13. DO IT AGAIN : “Let’s get back together and do it again…”
If you could go back in time and gather up your school friends, what would you do again?
Enjoy it this time and appreciate the fact that it will never be the same  once you are grown up. sigh.

1. "A friend is nothing but a known enemy."

Almost...one more party with the rest of Bud's family coming up in 2 weeks. THEN the holidays will be over (until my birthday!). : )

2. What is the stupidest thing about New Years resolutions?
Trying to keep them past the first coupla days.

3. We hear that Michael Vick has been given the use of a car in return for promoting a car dealership. Would you ever buy a car from that dealership? (in case you don't know about Vick, check out Wikepedia- you may need to scroll down a bit)
No, and in fact, I will send that car dealership a note telling them I will boycott them because of it.

4. Do you think that eating too many carrots turns the skin orange?
I've heard that rumour, however I don;t eat too many at a sitting to worry about it, but anyhoo, I guess in winter with fish-belly white skin, any color would be welcome.

5. Have you ever witnessed someone stealing from a store?
I've thought I have and reported it to the manager, but they cannot do anything without positive proof. Only preventive security. I take the view that if you see a crime and do nothing, then you are an accessory to it.

6. What is the worst thing you can say to a bus driver?
Stick em up!



7. What grosses you out about feet?
Aroma after boot removal...

8. The highlight of your perfect day would be what?
A glass of wine with Bud.
