Today's Questions:
Name something you read or were told this week that made you:
> ROTFLOL A comedian (John Pinette), who I was listening to on the radio.
> Sad Earlier this evening, I drove past Mt. Baldy at the Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore. Officials had the entrance blocked off and a sign that said "Area Closed." I thought maybe there was a special event going on. When I arrived home and turned on the TV, I learned that they were searching for a little boy who disappeared underneath the sand. It took scores of people with heavy equipment and shovels to find the little boy, who was buried under 11' of sand. He is still alive, thank God, but is in critical condition and was airlifted at 8 p.m. to a hospital in Chicago. Officials think a sinkhole caused the sand to collapse. This has never happened in the history of the Dunes National Lakeshore park system. I feel so bad for the little boy and his family. I hope he will be okay.
> Angry When an idiot driver crossed three lanes of traffic, darting between fast-moving vehicles, without signaling, to exit the highway.
> Shocked I was shocked about half an hour ago by a post I read on the forum. I'm absolutely appalled at what the person wrote.
> Dismayed I as also dismayed by the post that shocked me. I can't divulge why. Trust me; it was shocking and dismaying x 1000.

You are a musician, and your favorite band is looking for a new member and you happen to be that perfect candidate.
Which band would you want to join, and why would you want to join them? I don't know much about current bands. I guess maybe I'd choose Bonnie Raitt's band. I'd love to sing with her.
What musical instrument would you want to play? My voice.
Would you want to be the lead vocalist who usually gets most of the attention? I don't care about the attention. I just love to sing and happen to be pretty darned good at it! (In all modesty )
Quote of the Day: "Since a politician never believes what he says, he is quite surprised to be taken at his word." ~~Charles de Gaulle Good one.
Have a great weekend y’all and of course . . . Yes! Happy, happy weekend!
