Saturday 9: Summer Movies and Oil (6.21.08)

My name is Samantha Winters, but my friends call me Crazy Sam! First let me acknowledge that we changed our header to match the one that so many of you are all ready using. Let me know where it originated so I can credit our player! So, welcome to Saturday: 9.

We describe our blog as Just A Silly Meme Every Saturday. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions EVERY Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!

Saturday 9: Summer Movies and Oil

1. The other day I purchased gas for $3.96, which was less than the $4.37 my local station charges per gallon. What is the current gas price in your area for regular?

Normally for now, regular is $3.89. I have an Acura, and it only takes high-test, so the norm is $4.29 but Hess charges $4.17, so I go there. I am an EMT and the rigs all take diesel - $4.80/gallon. It is insane.

2. Will your vacation plans be altered by the price of gas?

Possibly, but not likely. I am not going to leave my job because of gas prices, so vacations, which I don't get many, will unlikely be affected that way.

3. Is there any movie this summer that you're looking forward to seeing?

Mmmm... I don't know. I already saw Iron Man. I suppose the latest Will Smith movie with him as a superhero.

4. Gas prices aside, what is your favorite vacation destination?

I have been to many great places. I would say my favourite vacation destination is the one I have not yet been to visit.

5. Will you watch more film on DVD than in theaters this summer?

Yes. There are few movies coming out that I wish to see.

6. Will you fly anywhere this summer?

This summer? I haven't any current plans to do so. I usually vacation in the autumn, but it is more often than not a road trip.

7. Guess: How high will a gallon of gas peak at?

Gads. Why do I want to do that? It is depressing!
I'm thinking around $5.00 a gallon.

8. Will gas prices effect who you vote for in this fall's election?

I don't know that it will. I am skeptical of both finalists and have little to no faith in anything they say or perport stand for.

9. How much will the price of home heating oil effect you?

The price of home heating oil will not directly effect me. We have gas service. However, the gas companies are unhappy that the oil companies are managing to charge the $4+ to people who have oil based heat. But they will all too soon be jumping on that band wagon. However, while we cannot do too much about this, we have just flipped the switch to our solar panels to generating electricity to bring our electric usage down and to be more "green".

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really...

The Longairc-Green Family

This is a family that was on Nanny 911 , the precursor to Supernanny , which airs on Wednesday nights. While Supernanny is a better production and leaves out some of the dopey American-isms of stupidity (such as the opening scene with a much older nanny head whose television showing the family and their issues turns around into a painting on the wall), this show has its value. These families are clueless or don't bother to try and definitely need help. This family is an exception in that the mother couldn't care less what the monsters do and will do anything to mollify them. The father is more consistent and definitely takes a much more disciplinary stance, but the mother undermines it at every step of the way. The two boys are so unbelievably rude, I'd've killed them where they stood. The little girl only wanted a moment of attention and was not doing anything negative, and the mother was awful to her. The nanny, Nanny Stella, spent the first day observing. When she s...

Shocking!

I always open my day at work by starting up my various programs that I'll bounce back and forth between throughout the insanity that is my normal workday. And they are always in the same order: Internet Outlook Microsoft Excel Microsoft Word The timekeeping program, GenPro, is always running. This is not me being unbelievably anal or just a little OCD, this is logic. I know excatly where everything is. It's just good organisational skills. When I open Outlook it is almost entirely for the e-mail. Yes, I do know how to use all of Outlook (well, 80% of it, any way, but since I use my belovèd Franklin Covey Time Management system (the physical book, not the electronic solution), I only use Outlook for e-mail. What is so shocking, you may ask? Be patient, I'm getting to that. I open the Internet and the default page is Wikipedia, in English. I happen to love that site and skim over whatever interesting things it may have, such as: Today's Featured Article The word thou was...
