What would you rather watch:
A Sitcom?
A Reality show?
A Police series ?
Law series?
Medical series?
My first choice would be a science, nature or history show on PBS, such as Nova, Nature, or American Experience. I also enjoy a good sitcom, though those are few and far between in recent years.
What was your favorite tv show when you were growing up? Depends on age. When I was little, I loved watching The Flintstones during prime time with the whole family. Loved Lassie and My Friend Flicka. Loved westerns like Gunsmoke, The Rifleman and Bonanza. Later, loved Little House on the Prairie.

Has anyone wanted to be on tv or has been on tv? Not I.

Bonus Question(s):
What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever given someone? The cash gift I gave to my goddaughter for her high school graduation. I won't state the amount here.

What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever received from someone? I don't know what people spend on gifts for me. Most expensive one may have been an amythest ring that my aunt gave me for college graduation in 1976. In my family, we do not buy extravant gifts for each other.

Extra Credit Question:
Would you rather be wealthy or healthy? Healthy. No doubt.

Just for Fun:
Should marijuana be legalized? -Yes. I've never tried it, but have always felt it should be legalized. I don't think it's any worse than alcohol, and if it was legalized it could raise some tax revenue. Also, legalization would lead to regulation, making it safer for consumption. JMHO.

Worthless facts:
A lifespan of an eyelash is approximately 150 days. I have a lot fewer now than when I was younger.
The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. I wish I could fall asleep that quickly.
Smirnoff is the brand of vodka used in all of James Bond's martinis. Cheap!
The average human will shed 40 pounds of skin in a lifetime.
Thomas Jefferson died of chronic diarrhea. I hate when that happens.

Have a super weekend, everybody!

Hello Friends Hello, Big Mike Thanks for today's QOTD..
Happy Saturday to everyone I've been MIA for a few weeks but now I'm back So let's get ready to......Glad you are back

Today's Question(s):

What would you rather watch:

A Sitcom? Depends.....A Reality show?
A Police series ?
Law series?
Medical series?

What was your favorite tv show when you were growing up? We only had three channels when we could occasionally get the signal from KCND in North Dakota. So definitely the Wonderful Word of Disney every Sunday at my Grandparents.

Has anyone wanted to be on tv or has been on tv? I've been on some commercials...
Bonus Question(s):

What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever given someone? I gave my son a very good education. He would have appreciated it more if he had worked for it..


What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever received from someone? I don't know, it's never been the money, it's been about the thoughtfulness. My Dad entrusted the Family Bible to me, which is over 250 years old. I consider that probably the greatest gift.
Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather be wealthy or healthy? Healthy...no if's, whats or buts.
Just for Fun:

Should marijuana be legalized? That's a tough one..I don't know--what I do know is that the marijuana that is around today is very potent and often laced with other stuff, at least in this part of the world. Addiction comes in many forms. I do think it is a gateway drug.

Worthless facts:

A lifespan of an eyelash is approximately 150 days. Interesting..The average person falls asleep in seven minutes. Not me...
Smirnoff is the brand of vodka used in all of James Bond's martinis.
The average human will shed 40 pounds of skin in a lifetime.
Thomas Jefferson died of chronic diarrhea.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone. I am just looking forward to some much need r&r.

Well good morning to all! Just getting ready to shut down and hit the rack, but I thought I'd check in on QOTD first!

Today's Question(s):

A Sitcom? I like to laugh!
A Reality show?
A Police series ?
Law series?
Medical series?

Looney Tunes, Batman, Speed Racer, Little Rascals.

Not me.

Bonus Question(s):

What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever given someone?
My brothers and I gave my parents a cruise for their 50th, we gave my kid a car, and I gave another loved one a "second chance". I think that one is the most valuable!

What’s the most expensive gift you’ve ever received from someone?
When I used to part time on side jobs, I had a limo run where I'd take a couple from the shore house back to their Park Ave (NYC) apartment every Sunday evening. They were in the fashion industry. One time they asked me about my DW. A few weeks later, they gave me a fur coat to give to her since they had me out for 4 -5 hours each Sunday. It was pretty cool!

Extra Credit Question:

Would you rather be wealthy or healthy?
Healthy. Cuz' you can alwaysfind a way to make some money.

Just for Fun:

Sure! I wouldn't be a customer as those days are firmly set in my rear view mirror, but I've got no problem with legalization.

Medical series? Like to watch "House"

Not sure that I have a favorite though.
