Good morning, Karla, and TGIF! I'm very glad the week is coming to an end at last - it's been a long one for me.

Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies?


Nope. I don't like any movies, but I can sit through them if they're at least somewhat upbeat. Hate scary or gross movies.

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

Haven't ever sat through one.

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

Yup. When Spouse and I were dating, he took me to a movie that was about a serial killer who killed his victims by stabbing them in the eye. About 20 minutes into the film, they showed a close-up of the act, and that's all it took - I was out in the lobby 5 seconds later.

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?


Nope, have no interest in sports.

Bonus Question:

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


Oh, that was when the kids came over a few weeks ago to build Spouse a raised garden bed. It was definitely a project, but very worthwhile - it's beautiful, and he's delighted with it.

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


First outdoor Farmers' Market tomorrow morning! This is one of the highlights of spring for us - we've been looking forward to it for weeks now.

Beyond that, there'll be time at the clay studio, and we've got tickets to a play tomorrow night. Lawn-mowing will be in there at some point, too.

Not horribly scary, but old fashion horror movies!!

Chainsaw massacre That one turned me off to watching scary movies

Haven't watched one in a theater.


Extra Credit Question:

Sure, throwing the first pitch would be fun, don't know if it would go all the way to the plate though

Bonus Question:

Last time you said to yourself "Uh oh this is going to become a "project" ?
If I were to go through my photos that would become a project definitely!!

Good morning all! Thought I'd do QOTD before the volume of work falls into place here today.

Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ?
I like the spoofs of scary movies, like Scary Movie.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ?
Probably the old Hitchcoock movies. They were good.

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ?
No, the only two movies we ever walked out on were "Eddie Murphy Raw" and "Once Bitten".

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 ?
Having been a hockey ref for many years, this was an easy choice. There's a real thrill in dropping that puck and having it slap flat down in the middle of the dot.

Bonus Question:

Last time you said to yourself "Uh oh this is going to become a "project" ?
As soon as my boss nominates me to represent the team in meetings.

TGI !!!



Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ?


I like scary movies with a real story line, but not "slasher flicks" where the film's purpose seems to be simply to show as much blood and gore as possible.


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

Arachnophobia always makes me jump. <*shudder*>


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

I rarely see movies in theatres any more and, when I do, I'm more likely to fall asleep than walk out.



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 ?


No way -- I throw like a girl!



Bonus Question:


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


The back deck! I'm getting ready to have the house painted and needed to have the deck railings replaced first. Once the construction guys got started, we realized that the support posts (which were [possibly] untreated and which had been placed directly into the ground [no concrete]) were in just-ever-so-slightly-not-good condition:



The quick, one-day, job has turned into a three-day project that will result in almost entirely new decks (front AND back). <*sighs*>

The exterminators are coming out tomorrow, and I have a district Key Club meeting on Sunday. Fun fun fun.


Thanks for the questions -- have a great day, all!

G'morning all and hopefully happy Friday


Today's Question(s):

Do you like "Scary" Movies ? sometimes, if they're not too gory.

What was the scariest movie(s) you have seen ? can't come up w/ any titles just yet....

Have you ever walked out of a movie because it scared/freaked you out too much ?
There was one many years ago that dh and I went to but I can't recall the title of it now. Thought it was "The Hills Have Eyes" [1977] but after reading the story line for it, doesn't seem like that was the one.



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'd like to but sometimes my throws aren't always up to par

Bonus Question:


Last time you said to yourself "Uh oh this is going to become a "project" ?
Boss assigned project thinking I should do it all but turned out I needed help or it'd be years before it got done.
