Simple Question, Complicated Answer

[sweetpea24]

I am 51 as of Friday.....but that is only a little over 36 if you don't count weekends or holidays....I think people only age while at work, and not on weekends or holidays....

What is the most technically challenging thing about your job that people would be surprised about?

Seeing I work in the wireless phone industry, there is a lot of technical aspects of the job. However, the most challenging part would have to be navigating multiple systems while getting screamed at by someone. I mean really, do people think that calling into a company and pitching a gigantic tantrum will really achieve ANYTHING? Some of these people pitch fits bigger than my neighbors spoiled 3 year old. Speaking of 3 year olds, did you know that they can talk and talk and talk about absolutely nothing? Perhaps they are better suited for the technically challenging part of my job.

When was the last time you ate an apple?

If you mean ate an apple as in bit in to an apple, that's been awhile, but I do eat several apples a week. I use one of those things that slice it in to wedges and cut the core out at the same time. Then of course I have my chunks of sharp cheddar with each slice. My coworkers say it's like I'm having little appetizers when I have my apple.

What kind of cheese do you eat?

Usually the kind that's curdled from cow's milk, but every now and again (in the right dish), I enjoy that from the milk of a goat. Usually I enjoy with some sort of meat, be it on a burger or other sort of sandwich, but sometimes I'll get a little crazy and have some fruit with it. Of the varieties, I prefer the white, stringy cheese that adorns my favorite pizzas and lasagnas...

I Love Disney's Beauty & the Beast. I remember watching it in the theater and I Love singing the songs even now. I always remember Dreaming that one day I would meet a Prince that would see through the outer appearance and awkwardness of growing up and see me for the kind heart-ed person I was and always have been. And of course who wouldn't want a long and flowing dress and an enchanted castle to go with it?

Have you ever been Kissed on a First Date?

Have you ever been Kissed on a First Date?

[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE][/I]

you know how sometimes you're out with someone and you don't think it's a date, but it really is a date? does that count? i personally hate it when i don't think i'm on a date, but i'm really on a date. of course, my husband would probably be upset if i went out on a date now. maybe not though. i had a first date not too long ago and had the most amazing kiss. holy hotness it was a good one. and then that led to more good ones and well......so, i guess i'd have to say yes, i have been kissed on a first date.

In all honesty, the Professor was my favorite. I love a brainy man. Then again, if he was so smart, why were they stranded on the island for so long? Yeah, I know Gilligan tended to mess things up, but if the Professor had thought it through, he would've stopped letting Gilligan come around when he made the radios out of coconuts. Seems simple enough. Anyway...I'm a redhead like Ginger but I have the sensibilities of the girl next door like Mary Ann. So I'm going with Mary Ann.

My favorite animal is the cat. Dogs are more fun to play with, but they are pack animals and try to suck up to the alpha dog....cats could not care less about you, so when they show any affection, it is real....

Well it depends on how you define "public". I was on a public road, but in my own car. He was on his own private land, but you could see him from the public road. Anyway...when he took off his shirt and was all hot and sweaty.....whew! Ummm....yes.

When I was growing up, I only ate frosted flakes, fruit loops, poptarts, oreo cookies, and pb &j's. At dinner, there was a lot of Soprano moments between my sister and I. . .one or the other would eat the other's veggies, or slip them into our laps, and then sneak off to the bathroom when my Mom took the trash out.

Now, I love all fruits and veggies (I'm allergic to citrus, though.) and eat them daily. Except okra.

Not presently. I used to be, but divorced my high school sweetheart quite a few years ago. I like that our divorce was extremely cordial. We have two kids (grown now), but young when we divorced, and we made a pact to never question the other and to support the other whenever it came to the kids. It worked well for us.

What is one example of a public embarrassing moment you've had recently?

What is one example of a public embarrassing moment you've had recently?

i wonder what constitutes as recently. i mean, i have plenty of embarrassing public moments. i fell getting into my truck at the drug store last winter and a woman thought i was drunk. that was kinda embarrassing. but is it embarrassing for me or for her? she was the idiot who jumped to conclusions. i did go into a subway restaurant (do you call that a restaurant?) and i was having a not so good day and i asked the kid working what a blt was. God love him, he didn't smerk or anything, he said in a very nice tone, "it's a bacon, lettuce and tomato ma'am". i said "right, i knew that." i laugh at myself when i do stupid things.

what is your favorite tv show?

 

[foldedenvelope]

what is your favorite tv show?

Oooh, that a tough one. Doctor Who has to be up there at the moment, as it's on here in the UK. Matt Smith, despite being a snip of a boy at 27, is doing a great job as the new Doctor. He manages to bring both a youthful exuberance and an air of aged authority.

Battlestar Galactica - the new one - was one of the best shows on telly when it was on, up until the last episode, which was really poor. Such a shame, as it had four seasons of brilliance.

Yes, I am a bit of a geek - I've not even mentioned Babylon 5 or Stargate SG-1 and its spin offs, and the grandaddy of them all, Star Trek and its spin offs.


Do you know your own bloodtype - what is it?

Do you know your own bloodtype - what is it?

i didn't know my own blood type until i got volunforced to organize a blood drive at the company i worked at. organizing a blood drive is a lot of work, but we had a very successful blood drive and i was pretty proud of it. when it came time for me to donate blood, the photographer of the magazine that our company put out was there taking pictures. he got some wonderful shots of me passing out. i'm not sure if it was nerves, or stress, or the needle or what. it would be funny if it was the needle, since now i have to give myself daily injections for ms and needles don't even phase me anymore. i don't think they bothered me back then either. so when i gave blood, they told me my blood type, which is a positive. isn't that funny? a positive. i try to be a positive person, so i guess that's a good blood type for me. i'd hate to be a negative. i think my husband is a negative. he's a very negative person. i doubt that your blood type has to do with your personality though.

I made scrambled eggs, biscuits, hash browns (seasoned with onions, garlic, salt & pepper) and bacon. I topped my biscuits with melted butter and raspberry jell, and had orange juice and coffee to drink.

A rainbow has no end It is a a giant circle of which we are able to see part of depending on the day. And well..circles represent infinity! A rainbow is like the Earth's halo..pretty cool >.<

I like the idea of a rainbow being lucky. Why wouldn't something so pretty and natural be lucky.

What i syour lucky charm?

First off, you're assuming that I believe in lucky charms. Maybe a lucky charm is just matter that exudes a certain energy field that connects with yours in a positive way. When I was 8 years-old, I owned a dark olive green cowls neck shirt. It brought me nothing but grief. I distinctly remember always getting sick- vomiting- developing strep- and having bad days at school every time I wore it. Yet, the color looks good on me. To this day, I won't wear the color or decorate with it. If I'm in a room with that color, I feel trapped. Bad joo-joo for sure.

My lucky charms are the thoughts that go through my head, my heart, and my spirit. The easy answer would be the mezuzah that once belonged to my Mom, from her Mom. But, it sits in a drawer. While it's a conversation starter and sentimental, it's not a lucky charm. I also seem to get luckier when I like how I look, style-wise. And I mean, when I put myself together in a unique way, not an imitation of someone else. I know that sounds shallow, but it's true. When I look nice, I guess I feel more confident and good stuff happens.

So yeah, I'm sticking with a positive mindset brings about the lucky.

i'm not sure if it's a talent or not. some people think of talents as writing or drawing, but this doesn't fall into that category. while i have done some writing, i'm nowhere near talented in it. i'd like to write a book one day, that is my dream. i cannot draw at all. even my stick men have issues. i wish i could draw. my sister can draw, but she can't communicate with people, she argues with everyone. i think i'd rather communicate than draw, that's for sure. i know a lot of people who are so talented in their drawings and i'm always amazed at their skill. what were we talking about? oh, what is my unique talent? i can crow like a rooster. it sounds very good. is it really a talent to sound like a cock?

When was the last time you were content?

I suppose it depends on what you mean by "content." Some people with hellish lives are content because they don't really know life can be better. Some people with lots of money have bought themselves into a spiritual stupor, and don't realize there is a level of spiritual satisfaction beyond the mere mundane lifestyle so often seen in the magazines that celebrate the rich and famous. Some people have given up on self-improvement, and have talked themselves into the notion that they are already content with things as they exist today. And some people are just uncomfortable with change, and so force themselves to accept that they are content.

As for me, I would say either January 9, 2009, or, upon deeper reflection, perhaps May 28, 1992.

do you believe in heaven and hell?

I do.

I don't know that I believe in heaven as a place with Elyssian fields, 72 virgins per man (I always assume they mean young, nubile, scantily dressed virgins with a tray full of fresh grapes -- though pictures usually depict red grapes, I prefer the green ones -- but what if the virgins were just REALLY ugly women whom no one wanted? That would be my luck.) or streets of gold, although lately the idea of a celestial choir has appealed more to me than it did in the past. (I suppose that would depend upon the choice of songs being sung, wouldn't it?)

I do believe in a place of spiritual rest where people who have taken their lives and honored their creator by making them into something more beautiful and touching other people down deep at their core ... those people, I believe, shall find joy beyond description at some point.

On the other hand, I perceive Hell to be a small town in Michigan not too far from where kendra lives, as I understand it. I believe she once told me she had been there and back... but I could be wrong about that. The memory is a little hazy.

toilet paper...rolled under or over?

 

[availableslave2u]

toilet paper...rolled under or over?

isn't it strange how this question intrigues people? it's not like the 'what came first the chicken or the egg' question, which no one will ever really know the answer to, but there is a definite answer to this one for many people. some don't care about it. i wonder why some don't care and some do. i wonder what other similarities you'd find in people who think it's under or people who think it's over. that would be an interesting study. i grew up in a house with two bathrooms. neither bathroom had a toilet paper holder. the toilet paper sat on the vanity or the side of the tub. so we didn't have to worry about it. when i moved out, i was a strong over person. drove me crazy when it was under. i'm not sure why. some say it's not a long drive between me and crazy, but whatever. at my condo, our bathroom is so tiny, we don't have room for a toilet paper holder. it sits on the vanity. once again no worries about under or over. strange that i have lived two places where there have been no toilet paper holders.
