DATING PROFILES MEME: Late But Sincere!
DATING PROFILES MEME: Late But Sincere
i am a fun loving gal!!!
Aren't we all! If you have a photo and a few other traits of interest you may succeed in getting a generic guy, but spellcheck would be handy...especially using your opening "i".
A good looking guy who can make me happy. He knows what he wants.
What makes you happy? Just the good looking part? In my experience, the good looking ones are high maintenance anyway.
My favourite pastimes r cinema, theatre, reading, crosswords, suduko and do love to dance!!
"r" you in 11th grade still?
Internet dating sites are all new to me.I'm very honest and genuene person with a good sence of humor.
I genuenely sence that you are not a high school graduate?
A sexually adventurous guy is big on my list!
Me oh my. You just looking to hook up? Methinks you can make money at that without using a dating site for your outlet.
My private nature does not prevent me from meeting new people and exchanging ideas do things.
What language is this translated from?
i would like to meet an intelligent, educated(Bachelors Degree at least), honest, sincere, family oriented and attractive man.
Gawd forbid a high school grad would be the RIGHT man for you!
I can also be rude, obnoxious, harsh and difficult to get to know. I go to church, I dont care if you dont believe in anything, I dont have a point to prove, and you wont feel the need to prove one either.
Wowie...aggressive AND harsh. Hope he doesn't ask you out for coffee Sunday morning.

ROCK n ROLL FRIDAYS meme: KISS
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 KISS.
1. DETROIT ROCK CITY: “You gotta lose your mind in Detroit Rock City, Get up Everybody's gonna move their feet, Get down, Everybody's gonna leave their seat”
Have you ever been in a line dance or group dance? What was it?
I usually joined the locomotion train conga lines at the discos and was in a California Raisins group who danced to "Heard It Thru The Grapevine" at an amateur talent night in Westerly back in the 1980s. We fastened purple and red balloons to our leotards and did a dance routine. We won a $50 first prize.
2. BLACK DIAMOND: “Out on the streets for a living, Picture's only begun, Your day is sorrow and madness, Got you under their thumb”
What would be the worst change in your life right now?
If I lost Bud.
3. DEUCE: “Baby, if you're feeling good, Yes, baby, if you're feeling nice, You know your man is workin' hard, He's worth a deuce”
When was the last time you got a tip?
When someone said "Don't take wooden nickels"...actually, I worked as a bartender for many years and made pretty good tips back then.
4. STRUTTER: “She wears her satin like a lady, She gets her way just like a child. You take her home and she says, "Maybe, come on, baby", She puts you down and drives you wild”
Do you know someone who easily manipulates others?
Ohh yaa...but I don't work with her anymore.
5. I WAS MADE FOR LOVIN YOU: “Tonight I wanna see it in your eyes, Feel the magic, there's something that drives me wild. And tonight we're gonna make it all come true, 'Cause girl, you were made for me, And girl, I was made for you”
What was the last thing you saw in someone’s eyes?
Bloodshot? lol Umm...Love?
6. LICK IT UP: “Dont need to wait for an invitation, You gotta live like youre on vacation. Theres something sweet you cant buy with money - lick it up, lick it up, Its all you need, so believe me honey, It aint a crime to be good to yourself”
When was the last time you treated yourself to something special?
I bought a new sweater at Macys. Damm straight I deserved it!
7. LOVE GUN: “I'll be a gambler, Baby, Lay down the bet. We’ll get together, Mama…You'll sweat”
When was the last time you gambled?
On christmas day. Bud and I went to Mohegan Sun for a drink at the martini sky bar, then had dinner and watched a show...wound up playing a machine I was sitting at to watch the show and I won!
8. HARD LUCK WOMAN: “I keep telling you hard luck woman, You ain't a hard luck woman. You'll be a hard luck woman, Baby, till you find your man”
Do you have hard luck, good luck or no luck lately?
Well, several factors point to bad luck lately, but I'm an optimist all the same. My father was admitted to the hospital yesterday morning and the IRS has audited me and I am job hunting again...
9. GOD OF THUNDER: “I was born on Olympus, To my father a son, I was raised by the demons (she laughs), Trained to reign as the one”
Who is your favorite super hero?
Ellen.
10. BETH: “Just a few more hours, And I'll be right home to you, I think I hear them callin' Oh, beth what can I do? Beth what can I do?”
What was the last reason you were late or detained?
I had a phone interview in the parking lot and was almost late for another interview because of it.
11. CALLIN DOCTOR LOVE: “And even though I'm full of sin, In the end you'll let me in You'll let me through, there's nothin' you can do, You need my lovin', don't you know it's true”
What can you do that helps other people?
I listen...and I give a lot of clothes to charity.
12. I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE STATE OF ROCK N ROLL: “I gave my blood and I gave my soul, I stood my ground and I took control, The legend's growin' as the story's told, I pledge allegiance to the state of Rock 'n Roll”
What would you pledge allegiance to if given a choice?
The State of Rock n Roll.
13. CRAZY CRAZY NIGHTS: “And they try to tell us that we don't belong, But that's alright, we're millions strong, You are my people, you are my crowd, This is our music, we love it loud”
Are you a member of a group, (church, hobby group, civic group, network)?
I am a blogger and a facebook person. I used to be involved with The Grange as a Fair planner and Homefoods Chairperson.

WEDNESDAY WICKEDNESS meme: Homer Simpson
Today Wednesday Wickedness picked Homer Simpson.
1. “Weaseling out of things is important to learn. It's what separates us from the animals ... except the weasel.”
What was the last thing that you weaseled out of?
Doing the dishes...
2. "If they think I'm going to stop at that stop sign, they're sadly mistaken!"
What was the last thing that caught your eye that you stopped for?
A perfect stylish sweater on sale at Macys. It's hanging in my closet now.
3. “You can't keep blaming yourself. Just blame yourself once, and move on.”
When was the last time that you blamed yourself?
Often.
4. “Here's to alcohol, the cause of, and solution to, all life's problems.”
Does alcohol play an important role in your life?
Of course.
5. “All right, let's not panic. I'll make the money by selling one of my livers. I can get by with one.”
Would you ever donate a kidney or another organ to someone?
Yes, though I'm not sure how good any of my inner organs are at this stage.
6. “Bart, you're saying butt-kisser like it's a bad thing!”
Have you ever thought you were a butt-kisser?
Only at job interviews.
7. “Everyone knows rock n' roll attained perfection in 1974; It's a scientific fact.”
What do you consider rock 'n roll perfection?
Too many moments. For me, it is a toss up between seeing The Beatles on Ed Sullivan as a kid or listening to YES's Close To The Edge album on headphones in 1974. Homer was right.
8.“Hey, he's not happy at all! He lied to us through song! I HATE when people do that!”
How seriously do you take an artist's lyrics?
Only when they get too sexist or racist.
9. “If something's hard to do, then it's not worth doing.”
What was the last thing that you did despite the fact that it was hard?
Told my father about a major financial error I made.
10. “The Internet? Is that thing still around?”
Can you imagine being in a time without the internet?
I lived it pop-py, and it wasn't pretty.

MUFFED TARGET 2011 Jan!
THOM's PLACE: MUFFED TARGET -JANUARY 4 2011.
OK...being the unofficial photographer at Bud's sister's annual family christmas eve party, I was asked to take photos to remember. My camera, low on battery power from all the flashes previously done that evening, took way too long to power up and snap the photo...so long in fact, that both subjects lost interest in their original poses. The result: one of the funnier shots of the night! This is Buds' sister and auntie.
