Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ? No.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ? Original "Exorcist."

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ? Yes. A Frankenstein movie (a different kind, not the traditional Frankenstein monster).


Extra Credit Question:

If given the chance,would you like to throw out the first ball or handle the tip off for a ball game or hockey game ? Not a sports fan, so the answer is no.


Bonus Question:


Last time you said to yourself "Uh oh this is going to become a "project" ? Just now. Tossup between cleaning out my file cabinet and purging junk from the garage.


Just for Fun:

What fun and exciting things do you have planned for this weekend ? Nothing out of the ordinary. It's supposed to be in the mid 80s over the weekend, so maybe I'll go out for an ice cream and maybe watch a [non-scary] movie at home.

Happy Friday to everyone!

Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ?

I do not.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ?

Do not recall the names of any scary movies I may have watched.

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ?
The only movies I have ever walked out of were not because they were scary or freaky, but rather they were simply sooooooo awful I could no longer force myself to watch them.

Extra Credit Question:

If given the chance,would you like to throw out the first ball or handle the tip off for a ball game or hockey game ?
I will pass on the opportunity to make a fool of myself in front of lots of people.

Bonus Question:


Last time you said to yourself "Uh oh this is going to become a "project" ?
When doing my taxes. One of my 1099's was missing a trival piece of information which had no effect on calculating my taxes. Without it Turbo Tax kept insisting it could not transmit the return to the IRS. Had to make several calls to track down what I needed.

Checking my calendar I just do not see the words "fun" and "exciting" penciled in anywhere this weekend.

Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ?
Yes, but I don't like the slasher films that are too gory. I like the ones that are more suspenseful vs. gory, like Alfred Hitchcock's "Psycho", the original "Halloween", the orginal "Jaws", "Poltergeist", etc.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ? Even though it's hard to choose just one I guess I would say the original "Halloween". That movie still scares me to this day...lol.

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ?

No.

Extra Credit Question:

If given the chance,would you like to throw out the first ball or handle the tip off for a ball game or hockey game ?

Yes, I would love to do that, preferably at a Texas Rangers game.

Bonus Question:


Last time you said to yourself "Uh oh this is going to become a "project" ?

Very recently, it's a long story!...lol.


Just for Fun:

What fun and exciting things do you have planned for this weekend ?

Nothing but R&R! I plan on doing as little as possible this weekend...lol.


......On that note, I hope everyone has a nice weekend!

Today's Question(s): thanks, karla.

Do you like "Scary" Movies ?

Well, I love most Hitchcock, but I don't like those slasher kind of movies.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ?

When I was about twelve, my aunt took me to se PSYCHO. We were staying in a motel at the time and I had my own room. I was just terrified & to this day do not shut the shower curtain in a motel. Just that music alone . . . . .

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ?

I had to take my daughter out of TITANIC . She was nine and I thought she would be old enough, but she wasn't. For months , I had to show her the People magazine that showed Leonardo Di Caprio being alive and living in Hollywood.

OMG, that would be for You Tube a person throwing a ball all of three feet.......

Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ? Not at all, I scare easily.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ? The Bad Seed

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ? I walked out of the very beginning of Harold and Maude when it looks like Harold is dead from hanging. I didn't have a clue what kind of movie it was at the time. I saw the whole thing years later when I learned more about it and it is one of my favorite movies.


Extra Credit Question:

If given the chance,would you like to throw out the first ball or handle the tip off for a ball game or hockey game ? Throw out the first ball.
