Praise Wagoning - Cinn's Friday 5 (16 Sept.)

[01] What is the last prize you won? I have to think about that. Not because it happens so frequently but because it almost never happens. I think it was the Baltusrol Holiday party from 2009. I put my one ticket in the basket for the prize that was a beautiful set of poker chips. Luis really wanted a set as a gift, and they were rather expensive, and there was not any other gift I wanted (there were a couple of iPods, but I already had my Nano, so I was very happy with mine. Anyway, when Judy had someone draw the ticket for the chips, I won them. I was very happy and Luis was. too.

[02] In what era do you think you were meant to live? Too many choices, now! I love some many different time periods that it is hard to pick one... but in actuality, while I would love to visit other eras, I would not like to go to other eras to live. This is my time. Space travel was in its infancy for all intents and purposes. I have seen so many advancements made in my time, that it is hard to imagine living in any other time. I would hate to miss seeing all that I have in my own lifetime.

[03] What is your favorite amusement park ride? I love the crazy loop-de-loop, throw you around, no feet on the ground rides. Do I have a favourite? I don't think I can think of one that is my favourite. I don't usually spend much time going to amusement parks. It happens we did go to Six Flags in June or July, but that was unusual. I went on all the crazy rides I could - twice, on each - and loved it, but then we went on the lag flume and while the ride is very tame in comparison, it was nice to get wet in the hot sun.

[04] What is the spiciest food you enjoy? You would not believe it. I love the dish Pineapple Fried Rice, with pineapple, fried rice, an assortment of vegetables, raisins, cashews, egg (which I don't get in it), and chicken and shrimp. I suspect the average person gets it sans heat, but there is level 2, which is considered "American spicy" and then there is me - I eat it at level 8. I guess that would be a three alarm fire. But I love it. The heat is very flavourful, not hot just for shock. I love it. Both Luis and Ray find level 3 to be entirely too hot for them.

[05] Do you tan or burn? I fry like an egg in the broiling sun then fade back to winter white. Even when I do "tan", I'm so light no one can tell the difference. So I have long since given up on the idea of tanning.

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

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.

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
