101. When was the last time you went to the doctor? Do you like your doctor?

I saw my about 10 days ago. No, I don't really care for any of the Dr's I've seen in my small town yet. I'm hoping as I get to know some of them that that will change...but I doubt it.

201. My back is itching, will you scratch it for me?

Umm, no. I'll be happy to pass you the back scratcher or point you to the best doorway for the job though!

301. Do you have nice handwriting?

I don't care for it, no.

401. We are sending you to either New Zealand or Canada, which one do you choose?

New Zealand...I'm already in Canada. Unless you want to send me to Whitehorse next summer to attend my Uncle's wedding, then I'm all game!

501. Do you sing in the shower?

Sometimes

601. Have you ever been streaking? If so, how far did you streak and did anyone see you?

F-if I can remember. Mom...help me out here!

901. How many cavities have you had in your life?

Lots.

All 3 of you should ask 2 questions each!

Thursday Thunks

The TT questions are brought to you by Berleen, the color of my kitchen table and the number 45.

10. What number blog post is this for you?
1,392

9. You are driving down a road and your GPS says turn right, but the road has a Dead End sign. You check your GPS and according to it's map, there is a road at the end of the Dead End road that you need to turn onto. Do you follow the GPS?
Hell no, I turn around and ask for directions...or take my estimated guess at which road will get me closest, then ask for directions.

8. If you had a $2 bill, would you spend it?
Nope, I have a couple tucked away in various piggy banks & old record books & such. Have em, don't ever intend to spend em.

7. When there is nobody else around and you sneeze or cough, do you cover your mouth?
Yes, that's when I usually just sneeze into my shirt or whatever...it's when people are around when I forget to cover it, LOL

6. You are a DJ at a radio station and your first guest is Bud... what is the first question you are going to ask him?
What sort of a playlist would you recommend?

5. Have you ever stopped to help a stranger with a flat tire?
No, I don't know how to change one...but I have had people stop to help me change a flat tire...mainly why I can't change one.

4. You get on an airplane and you find that your seat neighbor is Kimber... what do you talk about or do you ignore her completely?
I ask her how her kids are, what Anthony's up to, and how on earth she manages to find time to blog in all that chaos!

3. Have you ever rode an elephant?
Yes I have. There was a circus in my birthtown one year and they had elephant rides for the kidlets. I just remember it being very slowly bouncy, hairy and smelly.

2. Time to bitch & moan! What is your biggest complaint about your current friends on Facebook?
I don't really have any complaints about my friends of Facebook. Maybe I don't follow them closely enough?

1. School is back in session for all little girls and boys now. What, in your life, changes when kids go back to school?
It gets a whole lot quieter, we have more scheduled playdates, and we actually plan our meals!

Thursday Thunks

1. If you were to start a meme (or a second or third), what would you call it and what day would you pick? I'd pick Monday or Wednesday. Those are the only two days i have free from meme's. I don't know what I'd call it. Junk?

2. When a celebrity endorses a product, do you really believe they like it/use it? Not usually no.

3. Why don't zombies ever just eat each other? Cause they're not cannibals.

4. If you were an elephant, would you rather roam free or be in a zoo?Much rather roam free, then eventually live in a zoo.

5. The doorbell rings on October 31st, do you answer it? Yup...every time.

6. If you see a piece of paper on the ground while out & about, do you pick it up? If so, do you look to see what it is? No, not unless I know I'm the one who dropped it.

7. If Jon Gosselin and Octomom got married and then their own reality show, do you think she would try to get pregnant again for better ratings? Probably. I wouldn't put it past her.

8. If Thursday Thunks was to be put on hold or quit completely, would you be sad? Of course.

Thursday Thunks

1. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall,
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall.
All the king's horses,
And all the king's men,
Couldn't put Humpty together again.

Why was Humpty Dumpty sitting on that wall? He was trying to escape the Poacher! *snigger*

2. If Mother Goose and Father Time had kids, what would they look like and what would they be named? I'm guessing they look like Jack & Jill.

3. Does Barbie have kankles? I'm not entirely certain she even has a joint there, so yes.

4. Have you ever been featured in a magazine? Nope (ok, a high school one once or twice), but the newspaper lots.

5. Did your parents keep a baby book for you? If so, how often have you looked through it? No, just photo albums that I pull out maybe once a year.

6. If someone dropped off a case of candy bars at your front door, what kind of candy bar would you want? (Berleen's question from Insanity Cafe.) Aero. I love them because they're milk chocolate and oh so bubbly, that they melt in your mouth.

7. Rub-a-dub-dub,
Three men in a tub,
And how do you think they got there? Maybe they're from San Francisco.
The butcher, the baker,
The candlestick-maker,
They all jumped out of a rotten potato,
'Twas enough to make a man stare.

What happened to the rotten potato? Further more, if they jumped out of a rotten potato, do you think they stink? I've never had the opportunity to smell a rotten potato, but when things rot they do tend to smell, so I guess so.

Thursday Thunks

1. Bud- What type of meme question is the hardest? The ones that are the simplest, I find.

2. Smart Cent's Mom- If you could be any person living or dead, who would you be? Michael Jackson. As my son is in an MJ phase, I'd like to know what his life was like.

3. Thom- You accidentally bum*p* into someone at a store and you apologize. The person you bumped into says no problem and you notice food stuck in their teeth. What do you do? I tell them, of course.

4. Captured Memories- "Do you ever shed a tear when you poop?" LMAO. Yup.

5. Mejis- If a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, it's still a tree, right? Uh huh

6. Tosin- What is something you have said to someone that you wish you could take back? There are a number of things that I've said to my b/f's, first husband, and current husband that I wish I could take back...mainly because they were all designed to hit them where it hurts the most.

7. Annie's home- not feeling very creative here so I will ask if you were in the Big Brother house how would you play the game? I've never watched it, what's the goal of the game?

8. Meandering Matt- Mac (which is still a PC (personal computer) in my opinion) or PC (Microsoft)? I learned how to operate a Mac when computers became a big thing, and even through High School. I'm a PC right now, but if ever I was to get into computers more than I am now, it would probably be a Mac.

9. Living Dead Nurse- Do you think Jay Leno’s show should be cancelled? Why? Sure, why not...I don't watch it.

10. Dixie Chick- I LOVE VICTORIA SECRET PANTIES AND THEY ARE THE ONLY KIND I WEAR. JUST BOUGHT 5 NEW PAIR THE OTHER DAY. 2 BLACK, 2 RED AND 1 PURPLE. THEY ARE ALL FRESHLY WASHED AND READY TO WEAR. MY QUESTION IS.....WHAT SIZE BRA DO I WEAR...? 36C, just like me! LOL

11. And finally one by Kimber (just so you don't think I am too lazy)- There is a rattlesnake living behind the warehouse my husband's company just moved into, tarantulas in our side yard, scorpions all around at night and coyotes howling and running down the street in front of our house. So what color sheets will you want on your bed when you come to visit me? White...and all matching! I was rasied without matching brand spankin new sheet sets, and for some reason a full matching brand new set of white sheets mean a lot to me.

Thursday Thunks

1. Does soap or shampoo have to really lather up for you to feel that it cleaned throughly? I guess so. Truthfully, I shampoo my hair so much it's kind of difficult to say. I shampoo three times each day I shower, to ensure the removal of all the oils. Mainly because I use a super cheap shampoo twice before I use the good stuff :oD The super cheap doesn't lather as well, and the good stuff does.

2. Do you have a long standing joke with someone that you still laugh about every time you talk to that person? I often tease an old friend about a time where he cooked me spaghetti and it didn't turn out, but it's honestly getting to be almost too old to use anymore.

3. Share something that happened to you this past week that was unusual. I met a few people from Fiji, and got to sit down and have breakfast with them whilst comparing notes on our cultures.

4. If you dropped a purple crayon and a green crayon off a roof, which would melt faster in the sun? It's sunny and I'm on a roof? It's hot enough to melt wax, and I'm on a roof? Am I high? Am I suntanning?? I think the purple because it's darker...unless you have a dark green...

5. You are standing in line (grocery store, bank, etc.), and someone gets in line behind you that stinks. The stink is so bad that people in line in front of you turn around and look to see if you are the one causing the stink. Do you cover your nose, hold your breath, breathe through your mouth or just get out of line altogether? I breathe through my mouth, or dig out a piece of gum to get a breath of fresher air.

6. If you dropped your cell phone in the toilet, would you fish it out? If so, how much soap would you use to wash your hands afterwards? of course I would fish it out. I'd wash my hands once, use some rubbing alcohol to sanitize, and then wash again twice more to get rid of the alcohol smell. The real question here, is do I let the phone tech guy at the store know why I'm asking for a replacement before or after he picks it up...

7. Sydney Australia dust storm (link). How long do you think it would take you to clean your house after that sort of dust storm? About a day or two, if the kids weren't bothering me.

8. Do you think you can dance? Yes. You need to be asking if I can dance well...heehee. For all you know I could do the crazy white man dance...

9. You are out to eat and someone across the room is staring at you. Do you get paranoid, try to ignore them, or go find out why they are staring at you? I tell my husband and make him go find out why they are staring at me.

10. Come up with a crazy, wacky Thursday Thunk question. if you had your very own radio show, what sorts of guests would you bring on to interview, what sort of music would you play, and what time slot would you prefer?

Thursday Thunks

1. My daughter (aka Demon #1) informed me the other day that her hugs were worth a million dollars. Would you give up hugs - giving and receiving - for the rest of your life, for a million dollars? No. I can get hugs from anyone and everyone (and I usually do). A million dollars isn't worth the time I get to spend connecting with other human beings for the rest of my life.

2.Have you ever been bitten by a member of the canine family? Can't says I have. I have been bitten by a horse though...

3. What is your favorite color of jeans? White, though I rarely wear them anymore, two kids makes it tough to stay pure...LOL

4. What is something that has changed in public schools that you wish was the norm when you were in school? A decent, caring teacher who isn't an ass when you bring your complaints and concerns to them.

5. What is your news source? Castanet.net Because of them I no longer watch the 5 o'clock news.

6. What sort of people do you think read your blog? I have no idea, though I would assume a wide variety, looking at the list of followers I have.

7. If I told you that I had a headache, you would say..........??? Have you had enough water today? Have you had enough caffeine? You should try massaging the fleshy part of your hand. Would you like a Tylenol, I have one.

8. You go to a buffet style restaurant, what is the first food you put on your plate? Potatoes.

9. If you were stranded on a desert island.... no, we aren't asking that again. Lets put a twist into this. Would you volunteer to be dropped off on a desert island, to be picked up in a month? And you don't get to bring those 3 items, either. Yes. It would rock my socks to be able to strut nude without having to worry about anyone spying on me. Just think of that awesome all over tan I'd get!! Oh, and I'm crafty and inventive, I don't need those three things...

10. When the sun sets, what are you usually doing? Trying to get the kids settled, giving them their snacks and getting them ready for bed.

1. What the hell were you thinking? I was concentrating on distracting the kids, and so, therefore, I wasn't paying close enough attention!

2. The tornado sirens go off in your neighborhood - what do you do? First, BC has NO tornado sirens...but, if I were in Ohio, I'd be headed to the basement with my kids and my purse. i always had a bin set aside for emergencies with the basics in it to sustain us if we were hit.

3. Give us a recipe. Cook plain macaroni noodles, slice up some block cheese, layer them in a baking dish, and cook in the oven until cheese is melted. Voila, Baked Macaroni & Cheese. Super yummy.

4. It's the middle of the night, there isnt a car in sight and you are stuck at a red light that just won't change.... how long do you wait until you run it? I back up and go over the sensor again, otherwise I find things to occupy myself with until the light actually does change. I don't run red lights.

5. When was the last time you got all dressed up fancy-like? Where did you go? Like fancy dress up, or fancy bar clothes?? LOL Dress up was Mr's Company Christmas Party in 2007, and I know I hit a bar with a few friends before we left Ohio, but it's not like I dolled myself up for it or anything. Who would I have to impress?

6. Have you ever had a mole removed? No, but I've often thought about getting the one on my wrist removed. I'd be more content with it if it were only centered. I usually wear jewelry to cover it up though.

7. Are you in an area of record highs or record lows for the temps this summer? Are you lucky and stuck in the middle where it's somewhat normal? We have record highs, and are in the middle of a drought/heat wave. I don't know if i would wish for different weather, but I'd sure wish the awful smoke out of the valley and the local fires to be put out.

8. When was the last time you changed your furnace filter? Couldn't tell you here. they vacuum theirs before to make them last longer and replace later.

9. What's your favorite type of frog? The little itty bitty ones that the kids and I find together.

10. If you were to go on America's Got Talent, what would you do for your talent? (and choosing not to go is not an option....) I've got many talents, though I'm not certain anyone would pay to see them. If they did pay to see my talents, I'm not certain Mr would want me doing it ;oD

11. Have you ever been on a rooftop of a building? Sure, in my youth. i'm not so fond of heights now.

12. What is the first website you go to each day when you sit down at your computer, other than your email? my blog, of course. I love to look at my blog, because it pleases me to see the aesthetics of it. Our homepage is castanet.net though, if that counts.

Thursday Thunks

1. You are in an enclosed space with a group of friends. Elevator, auto, small room, etc.. You fart and it really stinks. Do you take credit for it or do you play along with the questioning of who did it? That depends on how close those friends are...but more than likely blame it on my husband.

7. You are walking down the street and there is a toddler sitting on a bench by themselves in front of a store - do you just keep walking?

If no one shows in 5 minutes I call Children Services and the police.

8. Have you looked up an old friend and/or lover online? Yes I have. but that doesn't mean I've contacted all ex-lovers.

9. You are nearly in a car/auto accident. Do you freak out, follow the person who nearly caused it & talk to them or just keep going? Depends on how serious it is. if was near death-type of an near accident, I expect them to pull over and ask if I'm ok, and apologize. If they don't I get their Plate number and report it.

Thursday Thunks

1. You walk into a store and the cashier is being held up by a robber. The robber's accomplice is dead on the floor at your feet with a shotgun laying next to him. The robber does not see you, but the cashier does - what do you do? pick up the gun and shoot out the glass to scare the robber.

11. What was the last email that came into your inbox about? it's from Andhari about a new music download.

12. Have you ever purchased anything from a sex shop? Extra points if you tell us what it was.... Sure have. It was a pink Hustler dildo/vibrator combo, with the vibrator able to slip into the dildo to make it a combo. Oh, I also bought some lube.

1. When you close a door, do you close it quick and just let it slam or do you hold the knob and slowly shut it tight? I probably slam it a bit...I close it slowly until it's just cracked open, then I yard really hard, and twist the knob to make sure it's closed and locked properly. Our last place had doors that wouldn't shut right it you just pulled lightly, and we found our door open a number of times, just from the wind when we got home, so I learned to slam it a bit.

9. Now for one of Ber's questions back when TT was brand new... Shampoo bottles say lather, rinse, repeat... do you? Yes, I do. I shampoo my hair at least twice while in the shower, depending on what I'm up to for the day, I'll sometimes do it three times. My hair produces a lot of oils, so twice is needed to rid it of the previous days oils.

10. It's July, the year is half over. Do you see it as "whew that part is over" or best is yet to come? I'm going home this month, the best is definitely yet to come.

11. Why do you do the Thursday Thunks meme? Because I needed something to fill in my Thursdays, it used to be that I had nothing to post on Thursdays. I've been doing this meme almost as long as I've been doing Friday Fill-Ins.

Thursday Thunks

1. Someone knocks at your door. You answer it. It's a kid from the local school selling candy bars for a fundraiser. Do you buy one? Yes. I did it growing up. One day that will be my son. It ain't easy to reject someone so little.

2. The end of the world is tomorrow and you are out of milk - do you go buy some? Nope. I don't drink milk.
3. Have you ever picked up the phone and called someone that you hadn't talked to in years? Once, when I first got started on FB, I called this old guy friend I hadn't talked to in 10 years and we chatted for almost two full hours.

4. Whats on your computer desktop background? On my computer (which isn't hooked up to the web) it has this picture:

5. What was the very first movie you saw in a movie theater? Gawd, how the hell am I supposed to remember that?? The first one I recall seeing was Bambi, but i know there were some before that.

6. If you had to take a 10th grade science test, do you think you would pass? Sure
7. Describe heaven. A never ending bar of chocolate, the comfiest bed ever, my personal masseuse who's hands never tire, and plenty of hot showers.

8. Has a place that you lived ever been infested with some sort of insect or rodent? We rented this one place that had mice out the whazoo. I learned real quick how to pack everything in my cupboards into plastic containers. All of our places in Ohio have had Ladybugs.

9. When you were a youngin', did you hide in the clothes racks at department stores? Of course...I could actually still fit cause I'm short enough...

10. Is there anything in your vehicle that is broken? I don't have a vehicle at the moment.

I don't believe that we should have to pay their full room and board (they should work it off, no retirement), and that they should rot in prison for the rest of their lives. Why give them the easy way out? The victims and their relations live the consequences of the perps actions, so should they.

13. Whats your favorite type of bear? Panda...no, Koala cause I could get all the hugs I want!

14. Where was the last place you went? I went to the Dollar General with the kids. Classy, I know.

1. Are your ears dirty? probably, I haven't showered yet this morning

2. Would you rather be stung by a scorpion or bit by a snake? (Don't say either...no one wants to be in pain, that's the point. Pick one.) Bit by a snake, so long as the anti-venom was at the nearest hospital

3. Do loud noises make you snappish? (i.e. A loud restaurant, screaming child next to you, booming stereo from a neighbor's house?) Depends...loud restaurants tend to give me a headache and make me feel sick, otherwise, no. Most of the time my kids can sleep through the majority, and that's the only reason why I wouldn't like the sound.

4. PETA- thoughts on this org.? What is PETA? I should go google that but I just don't feel like it.

5. Would you rather be the discoverer of the Loch Ness Monster or Bigfoot? (Imagination!) Bigfoot is in my neck of the woods, so they say. My vote is on Loch Ness, that way I'd get some traveling in as well.

6. When in a public toilet and it's not flushed: do you flush & use or move on to a clean one? Most times I just go on to a new one. Unless I really have to go super-dee-duper bad or am at home, I flush and then go

7. Neighbors are having a noisy, party bonfire, what do you do? Go on over and join in the festivities or find something to do with the kids that doesn't require quiet.

8. Do you play Monopoly? If so which version of the game? I hate Monopoly. If I have to play I prefer the Star Wars version. Did I say I'd avoid playing at all costs?

9. Are you a remote hog? Yes, I am. Excuse me if I don't enjoy watching Overhaulin, Golf, COPS, The Weather Network, or some silly beat-em-up 80's show. Awww, Mr says I'm not a remote hog.

10. Do you like the smell of paint? Yes I do

11. My questions obviously suck this week. {I've had a bad week.}
So do you think Kimber should have...
~smoked pot before doing these questions? Yes, it's always good for your nerves, so long as you get over the paranoia quickly, and odn't get the munchies to crash you out.

~drank liquid courage? Naw, then we wouldn't be able to read her typing...

~begged Berleen to do them (she's better at them anyhow)? Naw, begging doesn't become someone as lovely as Kimber ;oD

~just piss off! I could have done better! Mebbe, but then that would require extra work on my part and I'm busy enough already.

Thursday Thunks

1. What is your least favorite candy bar? Butterfinger in the USA and Aero in Canada

2. If I were to call you, what would you say? Whatcha want schmo?

3. What is your favorite type of leaf? Is this a trick question? a 4 Leaf Clover

4. When was the last time you....
- had sex? With someone or by myself? Last week sometime I believe, for both

- swam in a lake? They don't have lakes in Ohio, and if they do they're too polluted to swim in, so it would've been about 2 years ago when I was last back in BC

- went barefoot outside? Last week

- ate peas? I dunno, last month, I'm more of a Green bean kinda gal

5. Since Father's Day is right around the corner, tell us about the person that you are celebrating. My Mr, he's the father of both my children. He *sniffle* completes me.
My Step-father, who is more of a father to me than any other one I've had has been. He's never judged me, always listened when I needed him to, and has NEVER turned down a hug from me. I couldn't love him more if he were my biological father. He showed me what it was supposed to be like to have a male figure to look up to, and to be able to trust in men again.

6. Were you dropped on your head as a child? Could be...hey, mom??

7. How often do you clean your toilet? At least once a day. H is still working on that whole potty training business due to our move, and since I don't use those specially sized seats with handles or potty chair, I make sure he has at least a clean seat to sit on.

8. Have you ever been sunburned? Tell us about it. Once when I was in my youth I got a really bad sunburn on my nose because I spent an entire day in the water, with no sunblock on my face. Lesson learned. Last week I got a slight sunburn on my shoulders, but it didn't really affect me. I don't burn easy, it would take extremes to make it painful.

9. On average, how many hours a sleep do you get a night? About six, with a break at every 2 hours. Yes, you read that right. I wake up every two hours during the night, whether it be to pee, to blow my nose (stupid allergies), or to go put H back to sleep...I'm up every two hours, sometimes more often.

10 How many hours did you get last night? I caught a break lastnight and went to bed around 11, and didn't roll out (because MIL & Mr are home) until 10am. Course, I DID wake up every two hours. I actually woke up like wide awake at 6am, and I laid there until I went back to sleep, which was shortly after D got up around 7:30.

11. Take a picture of something. Post it. Mr sure was lookin good yesterday when we went out for lunch/dinner...and D actually smiled for this picture!

12. Are the bottom of your feet dirty? Nope

13. Do you know the names of every member of the family who lives next door to you? I actually don't even know the neighbors, I only know they have a big German Shepard named Duke. I'd like to say that I make it a point to introduce myself, but that's a lie. In our old place the lady neighbor knew mine & the kids' names, but I couldn't remember hers for the life of me.

32. When you were little, what did you want to be "when you grow up"? And, how much different is your occupation now from where you thought it would be when you were younger? I wanted to be lots of things, an Astronomer, an Entrepreneur, and a Level 3 Bio-Hazard Scientist for the CDC in Atlanta Georgia (specifically, I wanted to work with Ebola). I'm no where near any of those right now, but if all goes to plan when I get back home I'll be heading back to school to do the Entrepreneur thing.

Are you starting from the end, or from around the middle?? I'm methodical and eat the whole thing, so it may take a while cause I eat from end to end, and not just in the middle.

6. Did you eat paint chips as a child? I don't think that was a concern in Canada, it's a fairly new country and not many of the houses on the western coast were old enough to have to worry about that sort of thing.

13. Why is some toilet paper really soft and others are really hard? Cause some people decided they needed really sofft stuff for their sensitive bums, and others preferred to know the job was being done right.
