Saturday Six - Episode #383

This week, I figured I’d go for a set of questions that would apply to anyone, so I made the topic as simple as I could. It’s all about what’s near you now, as you’re reading this post.

I hope you enjoy this set and thanks for stopping by!

Be sure to check back this week and click on the links of bloggers who play along in the comments below! It’s a great way to find blogs you may not have visited and keep the conversation going!

Here are this week’s “Saturday Six” questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your blog… But don’t forget to leave a link to your blog so that everyone else can visit! Permission is not granted to copy the questions to message boards for the purpose of having members answer and play along there. Enjoy!

1. Other than your computer or anything connected to it, what object is closest to you now? The Samsung remote for the DVR/DVD player (I have The Four Seasons on, the movie with Alan Alda and Carol Burnett); I like to have the telly on as background noise sometimes.

2. Extend your right arm all the way to the side: what object is your hand closest to at that moment? Let's see... my watch is closest to my right hand when stretched out.

3. Same exercise with your left arm: what object is your left hand closest to at that moment? One of many Föm pillows from Brookstone. I love this pillow.

4. What book is closest to you now? John Grisham's The Testament. This is an amazing read. A multi-billionaire signs a will and when it comes out, it is a fun, vicious testament. I highly recommend this book. Then again, I would recommend most of John Grisham's books.

5. Other than your computer, what electronic gadget is closest to you now? My iPod. This is always near me.

6. And now, an old-school writing question: how many pencils and pens are within reaching distance of you right this minute? Oh, my goodness. Countless pens are nearby, I love to write. Pencils... just a few special ones in my office down the hall. I only use pencils for artwork.

Usually I'm telling you how much I enjoy these memes because they make me think. And this did, too - but about things I normally don't think about and it's all so simple and every-day. And that's fun, too.

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...
