No, I'm too nice to do that. I don't do well when people are mean to me. Fortunately it's pretty rare for someone to send rudeness like that in my direction.




Strange human facts:

1/4 of your bones are in your feet Interesting!

Women smell better than men ( in sense ..I mean sense of smell)

Rained out at the race track today so I have time to answer

Today's Question(s):


If you could have only 3 electrical appliances in your house, which would you choose?
Refrigerator, washing machine, computer. Had a hard time coming up with the third one. I use gas to cook and I imagine I could find a stove that has manual, not electric, gas valves. Clothes will eventually dry. I use my TV as a source of noise most of the time. My computer is used as a communication tool, a source of entertainment, and a companion.


What's the first thing you do when you get online?
Check e-mail, 3 newspapers, CD. I'm in a rut.



Inquiring Minds Questions:


What irritates you most on the internet?
The ease at which someone can access your personal information.



What was the last thing you ate ?Oreos and milk. The worlds best bedtime snack.


Bonus Questions:



What was your first job?
Pumping gas at Wargo's garage.


Do you have any birthmarks? If so, where is it?
NO



Scenario Question:




If you are working as a waiter and one of your customers was rude, would you spill food accidentally on them? or worst still spit in their soup?
They might never know if you spit in their soup. If I'm unhappy with someone I will let them know. Spilling food would do that.




Strange human facts:



Your feet can produce a pint of sweat a day

Babies always have blue eyes when they are born

You can’t tickle yourself ( who's trying this right now?)

1/4 of your bones are in your feet

Happy Saturday!!!


If you could have only 3 electrical appliances in your house, which would you choose? Hmm!!! I am off grid so the only electric appliance I had until 2 weeks ago was a microwave sans all the digital lights and clock. I just got a regular electric refrigerator 2 weeks ago instead of my propane one. So far so good

Oops.. I thought you said kitchen appliances. Now I have to change, lol.

I would choose:
A refrigerator with self defrost.
Washing machine.
Electric drip coffee maker....it might not taste as good as mine but it would be faster



What's the first thing you do when you get online? It depends. Lately I have been checking the weather first. I'm waiting to plant my tomato and pepper plants.



What irritates you most on the internet? Slow sites.


What was the last thing you ate ? Cottage cheese and peaches with cinnamon

What was your first job? I worked at a Rustler Steak House. I did everything from food prep, to greeter, soda girl, busser, dishwasher and cashier.




Do you have any birthmarks? If so, where is it? I have one just above the right side of my waist.



If you are working as a waiter and one of your customers was rude, would you spill food accidentally on them? or worst still spit in their soup? I've had that happen.....but I was too nice to do anything about it other than grumble.



Have a great day!!!

Good morning / afternoon /evening depending where you are at the present time. Good morning!

Looks like we all survived another FRIDAY the 13th I actually had a wonderful day! I met a really nice guy at the Starbucks and we had a conversation. I love running into Deaf people and signing with them because I remember how awesome it was when the rare occasion of having a real conversation would come up. So we talked for awhile. Then my friend showed up as a surprise and asked if we wanted to go to the music store to just play. We did, for hours on end. I wrote a song in the guitar shop area. Someone working there who goes to Berklee music of college told me I should apply for a full scholarship. Then my friend and I literally spent hours singing duets together on the street, lol. After that I taught another friend on the keyboard who is a super-genius. She literally learned "Blackbird" the second time ever sitting down at the keyboard. For the musicians reading this, I'm not talking about just a single-note melody. I taught her about chords, scales, inverted chords, and tertian harmony up to 7th in the second lesson and she learned "Blackbird" using triads keeping the guitar melody on top while singing along at the same time…in her second lesson ever. And they're not just notes to her, she understands the music theory behind it, as in she knows when she's playing a major chord and a diminished chord, etc. Like I said, Super-genius. Maybe I can get a scholarship at Berklee but I think she can get a scholarship at Juilliard! Lol. I can easily say yesterday was one of the best days of my life!

Today's Question(s):

If you could have only 3 electrical appliances in your house, which would you choose?

Computer, hot water, stove.

What's the first thing you do when you get online?

Gmail. Then CD. Lol.

Inquiring Minds Questions:

What irritates you most on the internet?

The even higher rate of misunderstandings because of the lack of tone of voice and body language.

What was the last thing you ate ?

A burrito (last night).

Bonus Questions:

What was your first job?

Working for this place. I started working there in 2003.

Do you have any birthmarks? If so, where is it?

I don't know.

Scenario Question:

If you are working as a waiter and one of your customers was rude, would you spill food accidentally on them? or worst still spit in their soup?

No. I'd figure they had a bad day or weren't taught manners. Waiters has to deal with rudeness all day. (My parents own a restaurant.) If they tried to make something of it every time, they'd be out of saliva from spitting in so many people's soups.

Strange human facts:

Your feet can produce a pint of sweat a day No surprise there! Lol.

Babies always have blue eyes when they are born I knew that one too. Dark blue/grayish.

You can’t tickle yourself ( who's trying this right now?) Ticklishness is dependent on not knowing. When you reach to tickle yourself, your nervous system already knows where you're going so it prepares against feeling tickled in advance.

1/4 of your bones are in your feet That's pretty impressive.

Women smell better than men ( in sense ..I mean sense of smell) Isn't that subjective? I personally agree, but I'm sure others think men smell better.

Your brain operates on 10 watts of power Lol.

Have a great Saturday You too!
