Do you Drink? Bite your nails? Sunday Stealing wants to know!






Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's meme. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from this new meme or recently asked questions from a previously featured meme.
Let's go!!!

From Survey Haven:

30. Do you read your horoscope?
Sometimes, usually on Sunday.

31. Where was the last place you bought something?
Trader Joe's.  We get a lot of organic stuff there.  Chocolate things, too, organic or not.  Fair trade, usually, to help the people who growing the stuff.  We should be helping them and not exploiting them.  Y'know?

32. How do you feel about your hair right now?
Though it's too thin and raggedy-  I look like a Ragged Ann doll - it's also an Einstein look, so I like that.
33. Do you bite your nails?
No, and I've never done it.   

34. Do you have any expensive jewelry?
I'm not that sort a Gal.  I loved to design it back in the day but no, I didn't keep it.

35. Have you ever been told you speak fast?
Actually, I've been told that I speak too softly, but my sister, brother and I all speak softly.

36. Is your laugh usually hearty?
Yes, but sometimes it's more like a cough.

37. How fast have you driven a car?
120mph pegged, I love speed.  I'd have driven on the Bonneville salt flats if I'd had a chance.

38. Have you ever smoked?
A little and a long time ago.  Never again.  I hope I never need medical marijuana for instance.  I'll have to make brownies with it in.  Mmmm!  More chocolate!

39. What was your favorite subject in school?
Geometry
40. Do you have cell phone provider loyalty?
No.  
41. What type of boy or girl do you usually fall for?
Well, I fell for a redhead, who turned out to be the kindest man I've ever met.

42. Do you have any hidden talents?
No, I've used them all.

43. Favorite Song?
I know I've answered this before.

44. Do you like to sing at all?
I love to sing, and did a lot of it.  Now I sound like a Warbler to whom God gave NO good sounds.

45. Dream Job?
Well paid artist for a new tech company.

46. Where does most of your family live?
I think all of us live in the States.

47. Are you an only child or do you have siblings?
I have sibs.  We don't all get together often but when we do, we laugh ourselves sick.  

48. Would you consider yourself to be spoiled?
Lord no.  Life was terrible for the first nineteen years so the kids in my family are neurotic, not spoiled.  The so called "Everyone in the Third World Would Gladly Change Places with Any American" School of thought is something dreamed up by people who never had a problem like a Criminal Psycho for a parent.  Greek Tragedy comes close but it doesn't involve children, just mostly adults who are acting like animals.  I except Socrates and Plato from these musings, but Aristotle I probably would have smacked myself.

49. What was the first thing you thought when you woke up?
"I have to get that load of laundry into the dryer before the sun comes up!"  Then Mr. Z phone went bizerko, and I thought, "It's Father's Day!"

50. Do you drink?
Everyone drinks.  We would be dead if we didn't.  We have only three days, they say, those doctors, but do they factor in fruits and vegetables?

51. Know any other languages?
Yes.  And, Ubby Dubby is coming back, too.  Whoot!

52. Ever write a coded message?
Yes, most of my notes to myself are in code, code I can't read the next morning.  It would have been fun to write code for some underground theater group that staged Popup Productions and needed a coordinator to send out encrypted messages via that late night network of old,  but cell phones and flash mobbing sort of took away the need.

53. Have you ever been in someone else's wedding?
No.  
54. Do you have any children?
Yes
55. Did you take a nap today?
Not yet, but it's early 

56. Who has the same birthday as you?
Well, I wish it was Beethoven but it's not.  I know of only one other person but she is the daughter of a friend of a friend who lives halfway across the country.  

57. Ever met anyone famous before?
Not that I recall.  Oh wait, one day I was standing near a bench some distance from the outdoor theater in Balboa Park, and David Ogden Stiers, who was playing a part in the latest production, walked across the front of the theater.  I saw him, did a tiny double take, and then sort of curtsied.  He kindly bowed back.  I like to say we parted friends.  Lovely memory.
58. Do you want to be famous one day?
No.  But, having said that, I would like to be a good enough writer that my blog is entertaining and not so banal.
59. Any Pet Peeves?
I got over those a while back.  Life is just too fracking short.
60. Are you multitasking right now?
I'm thinking and typing, and monitoring the dog.  Does that qualify?

  1. My son and his wife love Trader Joe's and shop there a lot...for the organics and such like you mentioned. We don't have one near us so I have never been to one.

  2. The only thing I can fault them for is that they have a massive carbon foot print in some of their stuff. But it's a fabulous store for organic vegetables and fruits, and it has LOTS of chocolate things. Oooops. I mean it has nice Indian cuisine offerings and ethnic sort of frozen food section. Lovely place.

  3. I share a birthday with William Shakespeare and Shirley Temple; maybe I came by my desire to laugh there.

    1. Laughing is good. :o) It helps get through some of the worst of human folly and fate's little "appointments". Nice garden you've got growing back there on the East Coast. I am jealous of your hostas in particular. I will pay them a visit again soon. ;o)

  4. We just got a new Trader Joe's by us but I'm not extremely fond of it. I like our Fresh and Natural Health store and the Co-op better. I was not given any singing talent either but I sure do love to belt them out when I'm by myself! Or with my kids in the car and make them laugh. :-)

    1. Co-ops are the very best!

      My hands down favorite grocery store is Staff of Life. New Leaf is another one that's right up there with them, and Jimbos but try to find one where we are. Staff of Life doesn't exist anywhere else than in Santa Cruz. Gorgeous store.

  5. I used to be a horrible nail biter. Now I've stopped and my middle son has picked up the habit. I guess it's better for a boy than a girl, right?!

  6. It probably is. But that old ploy, "If you stop biting your nice nails, we can get some pretty nail polish for them" won't work for boys. It's very interesting that your son has started biting his nails. I don't think it's genetic but you never know! I wonder where it comes from? I'm dashing off to research it!
