Older Meme - Saturday 9: Mr. Roboto

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. Do you enjoy holidays like Halloween or is your approach more robotic? I love Hallowe'en! I dress up as much as possible. I revel in it. It's also Samhain, the New Year, so I enjoy it as a holiday, too.

2. Have you ever been to a haunted house? Not in many, many years, although I've been in plenty of houses that are haunted and not advertised as such. I suppose most houses over a certain age are haunted, though.

3. What are you doing for Halloween this year? Well, Greg and I were supposed to go to the Chiller Theatre in Parsippany on Sunday, 30 October, but the snow storm on 29 October screwed it up for both of us - him more than me, but still... so we will go in May 2012.

4. What was your lamest Halloween costume ever? I don't think I have ever had a lame costume. When I was a kid, Ray made them and did a hell of a job. As an adult I always took it as far as I could, as well. No regrets!

5. Is handing out candy fun for you, or more of a nightmare? Oh, no, that I don't do. One year, someone's kid saw the cat and ran into the house to pet it! The same day, some teenagers bigger than me and not at all dressed up came to the door and I decided to close shop permanently. Since then, however, we get very few trick-or-treaters, but I don't do it anyway.

6. Do you buy trick-or-treat candy and end up eating it yourself? I don't. My husband does. Ate everything after buying six bags, which is crazy, since we don't get six trick-or-treaters.

7. Did you carve any pumpkins this year? Yes, I carved one of the two pumpkins I got this year. I love carving pumpkins!

8. What was your favorite costume as a child? I dressed up as Adam Ant in high school and really loved it. I was the only one. It was a wonderful costume. In middle school one year, Ray made me a really cool piece of headgear so I could be an alien. It was a great costume. I wore a white leotard and leggings and boots and had this cardboard covered in tin foil headpiece that was totally original. He always did such a good job on that!

9. What is your biggest pet peeve about trick-or-treaters? I just don't like kids. And after the above-mentioned nightmares, I had less than no desire to do that.

Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

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...
