WTF Thursday - Going on a Road Trip and Through the Self Checkout Lane

1) The Thought Catalog has posted "7 Reasons Why You Should Go On A Road Trip." If you could go on a road trip today, where would you go and who would go with you? Oh, I will go anywhere - I love seeing new places and visiting people. I'd have to say I'd go to Vermont now, to see the autumn leaves and revel in the changing seasons. I love this time of year completely and utterly.
2) Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died this week, leaving behind a legacy of valuable technological contributions. What type of legacy do you hope to leave after you die? Well, I'm not having kids ever, so probably not much of one. But I am the only Aislinge Kellogg in the world, and if you Google my name it's me that comes up everywhere. Very cool. I'd say I've left it already.

 3) When you’re shopping at a store that includes a self checkout system, do you use the self checkout registers or go through a traditional register being manned by a cashier? I always go through the one being manned. I hate the self-checkout, I like promoting the jobs (people need work) and I want my groceries packaged. Damn straight baby!

4) What is the title of a self-help book that you'd never want to see on a store bookshelf? Feel Good About Other People". Jesus, can you imagine? There'll be one someday if there is not one already.

5) Can there ever be too much white at a wedding? Absolutely there can. It's crazy. I like a little colour at any event. When the bride has a dress at all reminiscent of Princess Diana when she married Prince Charles, it was too much white right there. Also too much fabric, too much poofiness, too much crinoline, whatever. Yuck...

6) If you could spend a year with any fictional character, who would you choose and why? Oooooohh, what a neat question! Let me see... a fictional character, any fictional character... oh, my. The possibilities are endless. Um... Spock. Yes. Definitely. What is it like to be from two different worlds, to live 3 times the length of humans, and to have emotions mastery. Pretty fun! Then we'd get into love of science, his friendship with Captain James T. Kirk and Dr. Leonard E. McCoy, then into his parents and then into the Vulcan mysteries and then into the various missions. It would take months of tea times and I would enjoy every minute of it.

7) CMT is premiering a new show this weekend titled "Top Secret Recipe," on which best-selling cookbook author Todd Wilbur will attempt to duplicate many dishes from famous restaurants. What is one food item you wish you could easily duplicate at home instead of buy at a restaurant? None. I don't cook. Ever. Not gonna happen.

8) Is there anyone that sends you text messages and makes you smile instantly? I don't write and/or receive text messages. But everyone I know can make me smile instantly. I love the people in my life. Love, love, love them.

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...
