1. If all the world is a stage, where are the audience sitting?
*I would think the audience would be the people sitting up in the space station...

2. Taken from InsanityCafe Forums: If ghosts exist and are around us now, what happens if all life on Earth is destroyed? Would ghosts remain or also be destroyed? If ghosts are energy and energy on the planet is destroyed, wouldn't it destroy ghosts?
I don't think ghosts are energy, I think they are dead people's souls and I don't think souls can die so I guess they would be out floating around in space.

3. How do you know you live in the real world?
Because I have to make an appointment with a tax accountant every year...

4. What the best/worst April Fools Day joke that has ever been played on you? Same question for one that you have played on someone else.
I told all my members over at IC Forums that I was shutting the board down. Took 1/2 the day before someone realized the date....

5. If you could pick the last year of your life, which would you pick and why?
2097. Because I always said I wanted to live to be 125.

6. April showers bring May flowers. Have you ever been stuck in a rainstorm?
Of course!

7. Grapes. Green or red/purple? Seeded or seedless?
Any. I like grapes.

8. Someone knocks at your door asking where your neighbor lives, calling your neighbor by name, do you point them in the right direction?
Depends if they are carrying a butcher knife or not.

9. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can, What can you touch?
Air

10. When did you last step outside? What were you doing?

Going out to my car to go visit my daddy

1. Would you try a dog food flavored jelly bean? What about skunk spray or vomit flavored?

Ok I'll be different... I wanna try them. I"d rather try one than a bug anyway.

2. Are any keys on your keyboard worn off?

Not yet

3. Why are the lids on coffins nail/locked/sealed? Are we afraid they are going to get out?

I think they are because the living are

afraid. Afraid of what, I don't know. Even if it wasn't nailed down, do you think they can actually push it open with 6 feet of ground on top of the lid?

4. True love. Define it.

The butterfly feeling when you think of it.

5. Where is the strangest place you are ever fallen asleep?

In a car... because for some reason cars put me to sleep instantly. Well, at least riding in them. I have never fallen asleep driving.

6. A doctor walks up to you and says "I will change anything you want... big or small... doesn't matter how much it costs, I'll do it for free!". What do you have him fix or change on your body?

Get rid of the moles on my back!

7. The last picture you took - share it. Well, if it's not something we would probably find in Bud's recent photos.

Took a pic of the hubby because I shaved his head/face. It's spring, afterall.

8. Blue or black ink. Your preference?

Blue. It's pretty.

9. You are walking down the sidewalk on a city street and you see a little girl, about 3 or 4 years old, she asks you if you can tie her shoe for her. What do you do?

This question actually came from a real life situation. My niece was 3 years old and wandered away from her house and started walking to her daycare (which was about 2 miles away). She walked down Main Street and passed a bar and asked one of the people on the sidewalk to tie her shoe for her. Once she was found and she told us that someone helped her tie her shoe we all wondered why whoever did that didn't question and do something about the fact that a 3 year old was walking down the street alone!

10. What channel numbers are ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX for you?

ABC - 5, NBC - 11, CBS - 4, FOX - 9

11. Did/do you have any marriage deal breakers?

Hit me, you're gone. No strike 2 or 3. You lay an angry hand on me and I walk.

Have a great day. Or not. See you next Thursday.

25. Who have you hugged today?

Nobody yet. But the day is only half over.

FREE: one cute cat.

FREE: one cute cat. Has asthma, chronic respiratory problems, constantly has a snotty nose and will sneeze the boogers all over walls and you and sometimes in your food. In the middle of the sneeze will fart and you will be forced to leave the room.

Constant energy, gets into everything and is afraid of nothing. Will help you clean the house by jumping on brooms, vacuums and rags as you are using them. Will knock toasters off the counter, forcing you to clean the breadcrumbs out, which once you realize how many breadcrumbs were hidden you might thank him for saving your house from an unnecessary fire. You CANNOT have glass items or any other breakable items anywhere in your home unless they are bolted to the ceiling, but even then it might be iffy.

Loves to be in the garage and will help you lose nuts, bolts and even small tools. Will sit on your shoulder while wrenching on things whether you want him to or not.

Terrorizes other cats and dogs well, whether they want him to or not. But in a matter of seconds will turn and cuddle with them and keep them clean.

Talks to you, well more like talks back. Doesn't take no for an answer.

Within a week you will regret taking him and will find yourself putting your own "Free Cat" ad out. You might even pay for someone to take him.

You might remember Bastian, I blogged about him a year ago. OMG It's been a year. This cute little 2.3 lb cat that we felt the need to save has turned into an 8lb TERROR! He is constantly known as "YOUR cat" when the husband is around. The husband is blamed for brining him home. But the stupid cat has a home forever here. There's no way anyone could pry him from our lives. Stupid cat.

I have to keep reminding the husband that his Harley cannot - and will not - turn into the same type of addiction that his snowmobiles did. Snowmobiles might be just like potato chips, but Harleys are not.

German Shepards

I played with two German Shepards today... reminds me of why I love those dogs. They just have a different feel; their nose, their ears, even their fur. There is just something about them.

I wonder if I wish hard enough if Saki will turn into one?

Whoopi Goldberg has no eyebrows and it bothers me

Hi and welcome to Wednesday Wickedness! We are like other memes in that we will ask you ten questions each and every Wednesday. But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a famous person and pick ten of their quotes. Each of our questions will be based on the quotes. Got it? Great! Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked Whoopi Goldberg. Here's Wednesday Wickedness!

1. An actress can only play a woman. I'm an actor, I can play anything.
If you could experience any life form that was not a human of your sex, what would you pick and why?

A tiger. Just because I would like to tear the flesh off of a few people.
2. For some reason, all artists have self-esteem issues.
Do you have any self esteem issues? Do tell. (Since we all do.)
I do. I'll openly admit it. But I do agree that everyone does at some level. Those that don't are looked at as vain and kind of a holier than thou type.
3. I am the American Dream. I am the epitome of what the American Dream basically said. It said, you could come from anywhere and be anything you want in this country. That's exactly what I've done.
Do you believe in the American Dream or has it passed through time?
Yikes. Ok. I think there is an American dream, but I think it's become messed up. I think the Americans that stand on this ground now are getting pushed aside for those who want what we have. I just want to know why these people from India can come over with no money in their pockets and within 10 years own hotels and drive cars that are worth more than my house. Please explain THAT to me.
4. I don't have pet peeves, I have whole kennels of irritation.
It's been asked before, probably weekly, but what's irritating you today?
People. People who hold grudges, to be exact. It's not worth it.
5. I don't look like Halle Berry. But chances are, she's going to end up looking like me.
What do you think you'll end up looking like? (A picture would help.)
A sexy hot grandma, thats what I'll be! How can I post a future picture? Thats just silly.
6. I grew up in a time when it would never have occurred to anyone to tell me there was anything I couldn't do.
Has anyone told you that you could not do something?
The husband told me I can't have a new puppy.
7. I want Carl Sagan to explain the sky to me.
Is there anybody dead that you'd like to talk to?
My mom.
8. If every American donated five hours a week, it would equal the labor of 20 million full-time volunteers.
Have you ever done volunteer work?
Not anything to really speak of...
9. It's being willing to walk away that gives you strength and power - if you're willing to accept the consequences of doing what you want to do.
Have you ever walked away from a job and regretted it?
Nope. There's a reason I walked away from the one I did and I haven't looked back since.
10. Normal is in the eye of the beholder.
Are you normal? Explain

LOL Thats funny shit right there

.

I Rock

Yeah, I pretty much rock as a wife. After 38 years, the husband finally owns a Harley and it's all thanks to me. I bought it from a friend of ours... made the deal last summer and the husband didn't find out about it until last month. He's a pretty happy hubby, thats for sure.

It's a 1990 Springer Softail with only a little over 20k on it. Our friend just didn't ride it much, which turns out good for us.

Now if this stupid snow would just melt so we could actually go out riding!

Oh... and I baked him his favorite pie, lemon meringue. Because a Harley

just isn't enough for presents, I guess. I only attempt this pie once a year. They aren't that hard to make, but they suck.

In other news... found more lumps on my Serena Rosabella's tummy yesterday. She had some a few years ago that we had removed and it turned out NOT to be cancer, which was suprising because something like 95% of mammary lumps are cancerous. We got lucky. Hopefully we get lucky this time around too. She's 11 years old now and still my baby. She's a little princess who knows full well she's a princess.
