Saturday 9: My Best Friend's Girl

Welcome to Saturday: 9. 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!

1. Have you and a friend ever have an argument because you were attracted to the same person? Has there ever been a time when this did not come up as a topic among close friends, especially teenagers? The answer is yes. In this case, it was my cousin and I who quarreled over her next door neighbour's son. Renee had always thought he was cute. I did too, and one time hiding under a bush, he kissed me for a couple moments. I guess we were around 15 or 16, which means Renee would have been 13 or 14 (she's 2.5 years my junior). I never said anything at the time it happened. We laughed about it a few years ago.

2. Who never returns your phone calls? Um... no one. But then, I don't make that many.

3. What was your favorite childhood toy? Yes, I had a stuffed animal, Snoopy, that I carried everywhere and slept with all the time.

4. Who is the last person you greeted at your door? The mailman. He's wonderful.

5. Would you change anything about your life right now? Yes. Quite a few things, really.

6. Who is the easiest person for you to talk to? Greg - he's my best friend.

7. If you could live in any ancient city during the height of the quality of its society and culture, which one would you choose? Ur sounds good. I bet that was a hopping town.

8. What is the most exciting event you’ve ever witnessed? The transit of Venus across the Sun on 6 June 2008.

9. What do you consider the ideal age to have a first child? I don't have any children, so I am tempted to say none. But most people do have them and I would say 32 - 35 years old. People are still children themselves in their 20s and if they get married in their mid-20s, they should have time to be married and get used to the relationship first, and then bring children into it. Child-rearing is the most stressful thing you will ever do, so why add to it if there are still issues in the marriage to work out? This is not something to race into.

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...
