Saturday 9: Spelling A Name

1. How do most people spell your name?

Incorrectly. Usually they spell it "Ashley", which is a useless name. Well. I shouldn't say that, but I don't like it. And it is as common as dirt.

2. Do you watch Grey's Anatomy?

How does that fit into this...?

I did when it was first out but after the bummer that was the third season, I have not watched a single moment of it. No one's life could be such misery and all of theirs were. I am terribly disappointed that the show turned out so poorly when it began so well.

3. Would you wear a boy/girlfriends clothes?

Women often wear men's clothing. It's a little different than if my husband put on panty hose... although for the discomfort alone, I imagine he would not try those on. The short answer is yes, I would wear his clothes. I have in the past.

4. Have you ever been in a car accident?

Yes, a serious one. Still wondering how this fits into spelling names.

5. What shampoo do you use?

Pantene. Stuff is amazing...

6. Where do you work?

For a private club whose name I have agreed not to use. As odd as the name is, however, I assure you I can spell it!

7. Do you feel guilty when you eat Gummi Bears/Goldfish crackers?

No. And I don't eat Gummi Bears. Yuck.

8. What are you doing tomorrow?

Well, tomorrow is Saturday, 5 July. I will be around the house and then on call from 1800 to 0600 Sunday. Wahoo!

9. Is Justin Timberlake becoming the next Michael Jackson?

I don't listen to, read or watch the news. I certainly hope not. Michael Jackson should be the only insane pedophile in the world. I've heard nothing to suggest that this would be the case.

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 fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle.

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
