First MEME....101 to 120 of the 5000 question meme at Sunday Stealing
101. What does happiness/joy feel like physically?
Bliss? It is like every cell of your body is loved. It stuns you into stillness with it's absolute power. Then again, I'm not sure it's not just a psychotic state but you never know.
102. List five things you love starting with the one you love the absolute most.
A. The Supreme Being.
B. Earth, our Mother, without which (with the help of Star Dust) we would not exist.
C. My Family-which is the entire Family of Humans
D.The entire Animal Kingdom, and yes, it includes them of all- even sharks and Grizzly Bears which I am somewhat afraid of. hmm?
E. Color Vision, and this should come higher but what can you do?
103. How many movies have you gone to see this year?
Sadly, None. I watch a LOT movies on Netflix, however.
104. If you could have 3 wishes...but none of them could be for yourself, what would you wish for?
#1. World Peace, an absolute no brainer. That's #1 on my list until it happens some fine day.
#2. the Children of the world would always be safe from harm.
#3. The other Earthlings, the animals, would never be mistreated.
105. In what ways do you relax and de-stress when you are really tense?
I practice thinking about nothing, the real Nothing, that "Vast Nothing" that dwells between the Dark Matter and the Light Matter.
106. How much money would it take to get you to sell your blog address?
$12 Trillion, US dollars. Why? Because then I would buy Google and get it back.
107. Have you ever been hunting?
No, I've gone, regularly, to target practice but hunting, no.
108. Have you attempted this 5000 question meme in the past?
No, and I'll most likely quit after this episode unless I can make it a lot more FUN!
109. What do you think of cloning?
Not a good thing. I adhere to all the scientific evidence against it, and most of the non religious ethical objections.
110. Do you read or watch TV more often?
I read a lot less these days but still read a lot. I don't really like TV. But that is not to say I don't like the shows. I just hate the commercials. I watch Netflix.
111. With all this talk of terrorism going around are you willing to sacrifice rights and freedoms for increased safety?
No, I am not but by now we all know what happened.
112. What is the punishment you would come up with for Osama Bin Laden if you caught him alive?
I think it's bad juju to be thinking about stuff like that. Besides, it's moot.
113. Have you ever named an individual part of your body?
No, I haven't. Do people actually do that? Let's see, I think my right arm should be called Michael or perhaps Godfrey.
114. Have you ever been on the radio or on TV?
Radio, yes, once. TV no. I was, however, once interviewed by a reporter for the Daily rag for the same thing that the radio station interviewed me. See, TV needs to feed the kitty more, so they seldom interview nobodies. That's why celebrity is so rampant that it's spread like a disease.
115. Have you ever won a lottery, or sweepstakes?
No. I don't think that the odds are very good, and I don't think lotteries help anyone but the people who sell the tickets. 40 million to 1 is terrible odds.
116. Have you ever won a contest or competition?
I once won tickets to see a Janis Joplin Concert. Yay!
117. Have you ever watched The Joy of Painting show with Bob Ross (check out this link if you don't know who he is. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Ross_(painter)?
I know of him, and have seen his show a few times; I'd say he's a nice guy, but......He drives me crazy. He's a process painter who figured out how to make a living from it, and more power to him. Who could argue with that?
118. Do you know what your grandparents and your great grand parents did for a living?
Yes I do, all of them, and some of my grand Uncles and Aunts as well. My ancestors were military men, meat packers, carpenters, waitresses, small business owners, Horse trainers, Ranchers, Heavy Equipment operators, Shipboard Mechanics, Merchant Marines. They were many things. My Spanish/Mexican grandfather also ran guns for Pancho Villa. Hey, this used to BE Mexico.
119. Is there anything really interesting in your family history? My maternal grandfather played the guitar, western style, and that was something he passed on to me. From this early training, in my first five years, I have a love of singing folk songs and cowboy ballads, and of playing the guitar.
120. Is there anyone you trust completely? My DH, with my life, I trust this man. I would die for him.

Memphis MEME, part 2:
Today we ripped off a blogger named Memphis Steve from the X rated, don't go there, Steve's Nude Memphis Blog. He does not say where he got it from, but judging by his profile picture, we don not want to know! But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player's posts. It's a great way to make new friends! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!
(you can feel safe going to the next link.. oy vey!
Have any memories that you’d like to forget?
Of course.
Is there someone you really like to hang out with and just talk about stuff?
My Dh and, when the chance presents itself, my daughters and trainer.
Have you ever been called prince or princess?
Not to my face.. :-) Except, I have heard reference to myself in regards to "The Princess and the Pea" fairy tale. But, really, most people who know me would never confuse me with nobility, on any level. lol
Do you think teenagers are weird?
Not anymore. I certainly understand them a lot better now. They are actually fun to be around as long as they aren't being totally wild.
How fast does your mood change?
On the surface nothing changes. However, I do balance out the under current shifts, all the time switching out of the mundane mind and into the Mind of Tao.
How are you feeling?
Pretty calm and happy. Well, when I'm not expecting trouble.
Do you want someone to call you right now?
I always want to hear from my kids.
What do you always take with you?
ID and cell phone, knitting and one med.
Is your bed comfortable?
Yes, very. I'd spend the whole darn day there, knitting, if I could get away with that.
Would you say you’re an understanding person?
I know "of what we are made" (not meaning sugar, spice, everything nice, slugs, snails or puppydog tails), and I love people for their struggles to be kind and good in a terrible world. If that is what is meant by an understanding person, then yes, I think I might just be one.
Are you generally a happy person?
Yes, I am, mostly - nervous but happy.
Who’s in your facebook profile picture with you?
No one
Were you single on Valentines Day?
I haven't been single since I was 19.* I never had boyfriends in high school or college. I suspect some males might have liked me but were afraid of me. :-)
What is the last movie you watched?
"Casino Royale" You can't blink during that movie or you miss something. Ugly!
Do you listen to songs when you’re done?
Done watching a film? Yes, I listen to the "credits music" all the time. I love music.
How long does it take you to fall asleep at night?
Sometimes I fall asleep in 10 to 20 minutes; sometimes it takes hours. Sometimes, in hospital, I don't sleep at all no matter what the heck they give me to make me sleep!
Are you talkative?
I'm practically a hermit. I am a listener.
Where you single last summer?

ReplyDeleteKatie atBankerchick Scratchings
Wow, you should get paid for this! two memes in one weekend! that is a lot of questions! Great answers! have a great week!
ReplyDeleteThose would probably be dangerous for me to answer...way to go...loved your answers :)
ReplyDeleteBTW...LOVE LOVE your roses!!!!
Yes, you can pick it up later. hehehe And thanks about the roses. They are some amazing survivors from the alleyway behind my sister's condo. She loves them and gives them a little water through the hot summers. I think there are some others who do this, too. The gardeners will not water them because they aren't responsible for them. With all the rain this year, they are truly gorgeous. There are a dozen varieties there.

ReplyDeleteKatie, hi, and that is a very good result then. Good on ya! :-) What Blogging has done for me is it's given my thoughts better form (made me remember what I learned in writing classes in Uni). Plus, I've been able to polish up my writing skills with not a great lot of angst or risk as bloggers are generally an understanding and tolerant bunch.
ReplyDeleteMr. Lance, welcome to my blog, thank you for your nice comments and good wishes.
This is how I do two and survive it. I pick up the next group of questions for the 5000meme asap after posting on Sunday, and using the magic of scheduling on Blogger, start filling in the next one. Then when the Sunday Stealing one goes up, I pick that up and mull it over. All is usually ready by Saturday afternoon. And I am also retired, so have more time. :-)
Wow, awesome blog layout! How long have you been blogging for?
ReplyDeleteyou make blogging look easy. The overall look of your site is excellent, let alone the content!
Feel free to surf to my web-site ... Http://mybrownchild.net/
Good job on the double meme!
ReplyDeleteThank you! You do thi this meme, too, right?
DeleteYou're right...teenagers are pretty fun. They just want to be independent and unique while still fitting in... totally understandable.
