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?
