Monday Mayhem:
With the holiday shopping season in full swing, we want to hear your shopping tips for the situations below.
1. You mention to your neighbor, with the body odor, that you are heading out to the mall in the morning. Neighbor asks to go with. What do you say?
"Sure, come on along!"
2. You go up and down every aisle in the parking lot until you finally scope out that perfect place. You patiently pull over to the side and put your signal on to wait for the person pulls out. Someone snags your spot before you can pull in. What do you do?
Park behind them and wait til they get out of the car to tell them I had been waiting for that spot and they should not have cut me off. I also have some of those fake parking tickets in my dash (the ones that tell people they are a$$holes) and I'd stick one on their windshield after they left for the store if I missed them initially.
3. You find that perfect sweater for grandpa and it's the last one in that size. Some lady with three screaming kids approaches you and asks for the sweater for her husband who is deployed in Iraq. What do you do?
Oh geez. Let her have it. Regardless of the story, if someone really wants a material item, I'll let them have it. It's just a thing after all. It only means that the sweater is not the right gift for gramps.
4. You found the perfect gift for your best friend and you notice that there are no less than 100 people in line in front of you. Unfortunately, you just drank 3 cups of coffee before you entered the store. What do you do?
Get out of line and go pee in the store restroom. Then get back in line. Perfect gifts don't come along easily.
5. You're within 10 people of the checkout after waiting in line for 40 minutes and the person in front of you lets three people in line- he was just saving the spot. What do you do?
Let him. Life's too short to get angry about every little thing.
6. You get to the check out and your card is declined. What do you do?
LOL, this has happened. I check out what cash I have and remove items from the order until I can pay for them. I have done this with groceries!
7. Oops...you forgot to buy something for Aunt Edna. Do you regift the fruit cake George from next door gave you?
Nah. I'll get a grocery store gift card on the way over. : )
8. Are you planning on doing most of your shopping in the stores or online this year?
Both. Too much fun!

SATURDAY 9 meme: Dark Lady
Saturday 9: Dark Lady
1. Have you ever been to a fortune teller? If yes, what happened?
Yes, as a teenager I went with my mother to a spooky kind sort of lady named Mrs. Myles. She "saw things around your head" and told my mother she would die of cancer and that I would marry twice and have children that were not my own. She mentioned names and places that would never be "guessed" and neither my mother nor I gave her hints. It was incredibly supernatural.
2. How do you cope in an uncomfortable social situation?
Humor and friendliness. Or I leave...
3. A genie appears (of course). She asks, “If you had 3 wishes but each took 3 years off your life, what would you wish for and why?”
1 wish: Finances to allow me to travel and enjoy shopping worry free.
2 wish: Good health up until the quick and painless end.
3 wish: A loving companion to the end.
4. Would you rather lose your soul mate or never meet them at all?
Oh crap...what's a third choice here? I don't want to lose him!
5. What is the hardest thing that you have ever had to do?
Get over my mother's death. I still have not...
6. Have you ever had a miracle happen to you or your loved ones?
On my mother's deathbed. I won't ever forget it, but it isn't fodder for a meme.
7. Tell us about a quote that you can relate to. Why can you relate with it?
"Bloom where you are planted"...has always been my motto since camp when I was 15. I move houses and jobs often...and up to now, boyfriends. lol
8. What personality trait has gotten you into the most trouble?
My truthful, opinionated big mouth.
9. For those in The States, how was your Turkey Day? If not from the US, do you celebrate a day like Thanksgiving?
It was terrific. Went to a fabulous restaurant with Bud's family called Apricots and wound up having pork tenderloin and butternut apple bisque instead of a turkey dinner. I sort of miss having leftovers to make sandwiches and soup with however.

ROCK n ROLL FRIDAYS meme: Led Zeppelin
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. 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 songs. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!
Today we picked Led Zeppelin.
1. BLACK DOG “Take too long before I found out, what people mean by down and out. Spent my money, took my car…”
When was the last time you were down and out?
Fairly recently...with pneumonia and unemployment...not a happy camper.
2. DAZED AND CONFUSED “Oh I don’t like when you’re mystifyin’ me. Oh don’t leave me so confused, now whoa baby. Been dazed and confused for so long…”
What leaves you dazed and confused?
People's interest in basketball games.
3. FOOL IN THE RAIN “Another 10 minutes no longer, and then I’m turnin around. The clock on the wall’s moving slower, oh my heart it sinks to the ground…”
Have you ever been “stood up”?
No, but I am guilty of standing up other people. My bad...
4. IMMIGRANT SONG “On we sweep with, with threshing oar. Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you better stop and rebuild all your ruins…”
How do you feel about immigration into the USA?
I beleive anyone should be able to come in, however, they need to work for at least 5 years and earn their social benefits, not just get them automatically upon arrival. Our native people need to have jobs and benefits first and foremost.
5. KASHMIR “I am a traveler of both time and space, to be where I have been. To sit with elders of the gentle race, this world has seldom seen…”
Have you ever visited someone in a nursing (old age) home?
Yes. My mother while she was recouping from a serious surgery years ago, and my father recouping from a recent illness. I know the workers treat the patients really well and I'm so glad they are there, but I hate visiting and seeing these poor elderly people sitting in chairs staring, or passing their rooms and seeing unhappy, lonely people in bed with no one to visit them.
6. MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP “Crowds of people sittin on the grass with flowers in their hair said Hey boy, do you wanna score?”…
Have you ever done something because of “peer” pressure?
At 14 a group of girls and I went to Caldors (cheap chain store) and we all had to steal something "to be cool". I took a bottle of Babe cologne and I still feel guilty about it to this day.
7. RAMBLE ON “A ramble on, and now’s the time the time is now. Sing my song, I’m goin round the world to find my girl”
Where is the oddest place you went to on a date?
Highgate Cemetary in England at midnight with my new English boyfriend on a ghost hunt. Creepy, spooky place, but I'm glad to have had that experience.
8. ROCK N ROLL “Ho, it’s been a long time since we walked in the moonlight, a-makin vows that just can’t work right, haw haw, yeah yeah open your arms, open your arms, open your arms, let my love come runnin in…”
What’s the last romantic thing you did (besides sexual)?
Put covers over him when it got cold last night.
9. STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN “There’s a lady who’s sure, all that glitters is gold, and she’s buying a stairway to heaven…”
What did you last buy? Was it on Black Friday?
I got some bedding and drapes for the bedroom from online. I plan to redecorate as soon as I get it painted, which should be sometime this weekend, I hope!
10. THANK YOU “If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you. If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me…”
What is the longest relationship you have ever had?
My failed marriage...7 wasted years. I have a better relationship standing with childhood girlfriends.
11. THE LEMON SONG “I work as hard as I can-a. I bring home my money, you take my money, give it to another man. I should have quit you baby-a such a long time ago…”
Have you ever loaned money to someone?
Yep. Our nutsy art web guy at a previous job was always short for cash on Thrsday, so I'd loan him lunch money and always get paid back on Friday.
12. THE SONG REMAINS THE SAME “You don’t know what you’re missin now. Any little song that you know. Everything that’s small has to grow. And it has to grow!”
Do you have plants in your house?
Not yet...I plan to when we move to a bigger place...
13. WHOLE LOTTA LOVE “You’ve been learnin and baby I been learnin, all them good times, baby baby I’ve been discernin…”
What is the last class or course you studied?
For my job recently...Xactimate (construction blueprint software)...man it's detailed and complicated!
Today we picked Led Zeppelin.

WEDNESDAY WICKEDNESS meme: Judy Garland
Today we picked Judy Garland. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!
1. "Always be a first-rate version of yourself, instead of a second-rate version of somebody else."
Have you ever realized that you were trying to be like someone else?
In the 1980s, I wanted to look like a Nu-Wave model...I failed because I didn't have that "edge" or bravery to pull it off.
2. "Behind every cloud is another cloud."
Are you more optimistic or pessimistic about things?
Optimistic. I believe in The Secret.
3. "How strange when an illusion dies. It's as though you've lost a child."
Tell us about a time when you realized your perception of reality was an illusion.
My marriage to a man 9 years my junior...reality bites.
4. "I've never looked through a keyhole without finding someone was looking back."
Have you ever felt someone was watching you a bit too closely?
My mother.
5. "If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role."
Have you ever had a job that you were embarrassed by?
Ohhh yaaa... most recently for a convenience store chain in management training. I had to wear a uniform and a name tag and be a cashier the first week. I felt like such a loser. What I realised was that people who work in a convenience store have a lot of responsibility and hard menial labor for a job.
6. 'In the silence of night I have often wished for just a few words of love from one man, rather than the applause of thousands of people."
Do you feel that you need a lover to make you feel “whole”?

Avatar. In 3D.
10. "I was born at the age of twelve on an MGM lot."

Acne, the newness of menstrual cramps, big clumsy feet...crappy I'd say.
