Saturday 9: That's What Friends Are For

1. Do you have a best friend? If yes, tell us about how you met and how long you have been friends.

Goodness, yes. My husband! Who isn't best friends with his or her spouse?

2. Over the years, how many people have you considered a “best friend”?

Three people, outside of Luis.

3. Who was your first “best friend”?

Michele Salinas. We were inseparable as little kids. Her mother was a terrible woman who was enormous and married a man who was apparently an alcoholic. Or maybe she was. Hard to remember this far back. We met when we were four or five. We were close friends until they moved to South Amboy. The move was too much, and she turned into a drug using girl who slept around way too young. I have no idea what has happened to her. Hopefully she got away from that life. I think most of us survive the teens, fortunately.

4. Every person you ask about lovers say, “I want a best friend”. Do you really think a lover can be a best friend?

Of course they can, why not? Sex is a component of life, not a single entity.

5. Have any of your lovers been your best friend (at the time)? If yes, tell us about one.

My husband. I suspect he is the most prime and shining example!

6. Have you ever mixed sex into friendship? If yes, what happened?

Well. I think you know the outcome!

7. What is your favorite song about friendship? Why?

I have a ton of favourite songs, many about friendship. It's very hard to list any one.

8. Name a celebrity you would like to be friends with. Why?

Martin Sheen. Alan Alda. Bono. The Edge. Larry Mullen. Adam Clayton. Why? They are all intelligent, forward-thinking people with great senses of humour.

9. Is your current best friend, the “best” best friend you have ever had?

Well, Harry Rainbow was but he has fallen off the planet. Luis is really my best friend.

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
