Eat a bite of this then a bite of that ?
Eat all of each food before continuing to the next ?
Mash it all together ?

When you fill your plate do you:
Pile it on baby !! ?
Everything has its own spot ?
Foods better not touch each other ?


Extra Credit Question:

Last time you wore a "Hello my name is " ?

Last time you WISH someone else was wearing a "hello my name is" ?
**When this happened what was it that finally triggered your memory as to who they were ?


Inquiring Minds Question:

Would you say:

More people know who I am because of things I have done ?
or
I know more people by the things they have done ?


Bonus Question:

What was the last "impedimenta" you encountered ?


Just for Fun:

You know those Neon glow sticks that you snap to activate the "glow" and have seen them used as bracelets & necklaces
Well I found them on sale 100 for $5,of course I had to buy them,hopefully they will last until school starts

So , If I was to give you a package of them . What fun and maybe "annoying" uses could you come up with for them ?


Last time you had

1968 - Iron Butterfly's "In-a-gadda-da-vida" becomes 1st heavy metal song to hit charts, it comes in at #117
1969 - With “...one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” astronaut, Neil Armstrong, pilot of the lunar spacecraft, the "Eagle", made the first footsteps on the surface of the moon at 10:56 p.m. EDT.

Pile it on baby !! ? lol just throw it on a plate
Everything has its own spot ?

Extra Credit Question:

Last time you wore a "Hello my name is " ? Fortunately a long time ago - I just hate those things.

Last time you WISH someone else was wearing a "hello my name is" ?
**When this happened what was it that finally triggered your memory as to who they were ?

This happens all the time. I meet so many people that I have a hard time remembering if we actually spoke, I just saw them out and about or what. I've gotten pretty good at faking it lol until we talk long enough I can remember. Had a younger guy come in and I knew we had met before, but for the life of me I couldn't remember where. We got to talking about his previous visits and it finally clicked that he and his wife were in the row behind me on a plane from Panama City to Bocas like 2 1/2+ years before.

Inquiring Minds Question:

Would you say:

More people know who I am because of things I have done ?
or
I know more people by the things they have done ?

With what I do for a living and being female people know who I am. After a while it got a bit, well, old to try and have a quiet dinner or drinks with friends and have people just walk up wanting to talk biz. I've even had people literally say (not ask) "may I sit down" and then not even wait for a response- just plop down and interrupt the conversation. Why I don't socialize much anymore - can't be Just Joy.

Bonus Question:

What was the last "impedimenta" you encountered ? Things waaay out of my control like a global recession.

Just for Fun:

You know those Neon glow sticks that you snap to activate the "glow" and have seen them used as bracelets & necklaces
Well I found them on sale 100 for $5,of course I had to buy them,hopefully they will last until school starts

So , If I was to give you a package of them . What fun and maybe "annoying" uses could you come up with for them ?

Put one on Shredder's tail and watch him go crazy lol

Last time you had
A lollipop ? A long time ago - when I get them I usually give them to a kid
Ice Cream Soda ? Don't really like them - just ice cream
Cotton Candy ? OMG like the last time I took my DS to the zoo
A nap ? I only wish I was a napper

Today in History:
1801 - A 1,235 pound cheese ball was pressed at the farm of Elisha Brown, Jr. The huge ball of cheese was later loaded on a horse-driven wagon and presented to President Thomas Jefferson at the White House
1859 - Brooklyn and New York played baseball at Fashion Park Race Course on Long Island, New York. The game marked the first time that admission had been charged for spectators to see a ball game. It cost $.50 to get in and the players on the field received no salary (until 1863). Wow - times sure have changed
1968 - Iron Butterfly's "In-a-gadda-da-vida" becomes 1st heavy metal song to hit charts, it comes in at #117
1969 - With “...one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind,” astronaut, Neil Armstrong, pilot of the lunar spacecraft, the "Eagle", made the first footsteps on the surface of the moon at 10:56 p.m. EDT. What an amazing moment - remember being a kid and watching with my folks

Word of the Day:
impedimenta \ im-ped-uh-MEN-tuh \ , noun;
1. Baggage or other things that slows one's progress. Just have to focus on things we can control and let go of the things we can't.

Today is:
National Lollipop Day
National Ice Cream Soda Day You can keep the soda and just pass the ice cream
Chess Day Was never good at Chess
Ugly Truck Contest Day My girl is purty
National Nap Day As early as I woke up, wish I could
Have a great Tuesday everyone! Have to take this dang power cord back, because I noticed last night it was splitting on one end Still works, but since I just bought it yesterday morning

**When this happened what was it that finally triggered your memory as to who they were ? Usually this happens when I am introducing someone to someone else. Luckily I can just have the other person state their name.

Inquiring Minds Question:

For me, this question depends on the context. Contextually speaking, both are true.

Just for Fun:

You know those Neon glow sticks that you snap to activate the "glow" and have seen them used as bracelets & necklaces

So , If I was to give you a package of them . What fun and maybe "annoying" uses could you come up with for them ? I hate those. I probably would just give them to some kids at church.

Last time you had

ok so far I can't wait to make my dogs necklaces when it gets dark and see if hubby notices. This will also be cool to see when they go out to potty at night
I gave one to my friend and told her to put it somewhere in her bedroom at night to see if her hubby notices ooo I may have to try this one too !!

I am tempted to put one on the toilet paper holder so maybe then the roll will end up there instead of the counter

lol I am tempted to offer some to my nosy neighbor with the excuse that it will make her more visible at night when walking her dog. In reality it will warn the other neighbors that she is out "prowling"

rofl I think I better go back and buy more while they are still on sale !!!


Last time you had
