THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: BLOGGING

QUESTION A:
Not counting spam, have you ever deleted a comment to your blog, or can you imagine a situation besides spam in which you would? Would you feel bad about doing so?

or

QUESTION B:
Is blogging truly a forum for discussion, or does it still boil down to being about what the individual writer wants it to be about? Why or why not?


Question A. Haven't deleted any comments except spam and can't imagine doing so unless someone became completely disrespectful and insulting to me or another blogger commenting or mentioned.

1. Do any of your friends, family or co-workers know about your blogs? For those that do, did you tell them or have they stumbled upon it by themselves?

Yeah. I've told most of 'em.

2. How did you come up with the title of your blogs?

haha. Wastin' My Time-most of the stuff is a waste of my time.
A Moment That is Mine-those entries are me taking a moment for me
Journal Jar-my journal jar answers
Ma Serie de Crises-my series of crises. details my crises.
Inspired-things I write when I'm inspired

3. Do you prefer to have many projects going on at once or do you prefer multitasking?

Umm those are the same option. I multi-task.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What high school stereotype are you?


Take the What High SchoolStereotype Are You? quiz.

5. What was the hardest thing to master when you were learning to drive?

Haven't learned yet. Not quite 16.

6. How well did you do with that one thing on your very first driver's exam?

Repeat: Not 16 yet.


THIS WEEK'S QUESTION:
List up to 7 "dream cars" you'd like to own if money wasn't a factor. You don't have to necessarily choose the most expensive cars in the world, but just don't let cost be a factor in your decision. (Cars can be new or classic.)

1. 1966 red convertible corvette
2. a jeep (dunno why but i like 'em)
3. a mustang :)
4. "how do you spell porsche?" "c-a-r"

I'm outta ideas.

THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: FUNERALS

QUESTION A:
How do you feel about open casket viewings or visitations at funeral homes? Does it bother you to see the decedent or do you feel a more complete sense of closure from it?

or

QUESTION B:
If you had a chance to come back long enough to see your own funeral (unseen by the visitors, of course) just to see and hear what was said about you, explain why you would or wouldn't take that chance.

I'll take question A. I don't like dead bodies but it helps others gain closure. Let it be open casket. Who cares? Just don't ask me to get too close.

1. Who was the last person you visited in the hospital?

Ali.

2. How many jobs have you held in your life? How many of those were part of your chosen career field?

Haven't. Might get a job soon at the dry cleaner's but it's not my career field.

3. Of those, how many did you leave voluntarily?

Again, never had a job.

4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What animal were you in a past life? (Thanks to RedSneakz!)

You scored 2 Power-Finesse, 2 Leader-Follower, 1 Unique-Ordinary,  and 2 Offense-Defense! You are a good soldier, the man the Man counts on.  Unfortunately, he may or may not care for your well being, and so he will put you out just protect his interests.  This you do without question because you are a team player.  Bad news for you, because your team, the black team, tends to have to be more defensive in nature, and sometimes has to make hard choices or sacrifices.   Guess who just volunteered?


My test tracked 4 variables How you compared to other people your age and gender:

You scored higher than 15% on Power-FinesseYou scored higher than 19% on Leader-FollowerYou scored higher than 2% on Unique-OrdinaryYou scored higher than 31% on Offense-Defense
