Today's Question: Okay, today's your chance. Let's pretend you have a perfect singing voice and you get to perform the song of your choice, for as many or as few people as you want, no pressure. Anyway, this is just for fun so . . . What song are you going to sing and where? Wow the perfect singing voice? In that case, I would probably sing the national anthem at the SuperBowl
Why that song? Because now I have the perfect singing voice and it's a hard song to sing
Do you think this is an acceptable way to break bad news to someone or not? No not really
Foodie Question: At home or in the theater, what are your favorite movie foods? Popcorn and nachos
If you don't watch movies, what do you eat when relaxing? Oh I definitely watch movies and I'll eat whatever is available
Just for fun: In high school I once landed belly first in a mud puddle during a PE baseball game. Everyone got a big laugh out of it. I got a set of muddy gym clothes out of it. My only regret - no tape to send to America's Funniest videos. Have you ever wished you had a video camera to record something you saw for one of the funny video clip shows? Yes, many times Tell us about it. My son used to do some really funny stuff when he was little that I wish I had caught on camera and my cat and dog do things sometimes that is either sweet or funny, like the cat licking the dog on the head.

One thing we can depend on - rain or shine - is the QOTD
Today's Question: Okay, today's your chance. Let's pretend you have a perfect singing voice and you get to perform the song of your choice, for as many or as few people as you want, no pressure. Anyway, this is just for fun so . . . What song are you going to sing and where? "Wind Beneath My Wings" by Bette Midler. I'd like to sing it in "Central Park" on a cool night where all could come and just sit on the lawn and have a good time.
Do you think this is an acceptable way to break bad news to someone or not? Not really
Foodie Question: At home or in the theater, what are your favorite movie foods? Popcorn

Okay, today's your chance.
Let's pretend you have a perfect singing voice and you get to perform the song of your choice, for as many or as few people as you want, no pressure. Anyway, this is just for fun so . . . Really....I'll be able to sing
What song are you going to sing and where? I don't know what song but I want an upbeat peppy song. If I'm going to sing I want people to have fun and sing along
Why that song? Because I hate those cry in your beer and depressing songs
Have you ever done this or heard of anyone who has? No.
If so, tell us why, if you can.
Do you think this is an acceptable way to break bad news to someone or not? I would rather break the bad news to someone in a place where they are comfortable....and I hope I don't have to hug them I am not comfortable with that.....oh and I hope if it's a man they don't start crying. I really don't know how to deal with that. OK....never mind I'm getting someone else to do it
At home or in the theater, what are your favorite movie foods? Hot buttered popcorn...and I want to see it being popped there. Do you know I went to a movie many years ago and I saw them dumping huge "plastic bags" of popcorn into their popcorn holder. There is something really wrong with that
If you don't watch movies, what do you eat when relaxing? I'm trying to be good...but I would have to say smooth creamy chocolate ice cream
In high school I once landed belly first in a mud puddle during a PE baseball game. Everyone got a big laugh out of it. I got a set of muddy gym clothes out of it.
My only regret - no tape to send to America's Funniest videos.
Have you ever wished you had a video camera to record something you saw for one of the funny video clip shows? Oh I have too many to count
Tell us about it. LOL...oh yeah...my life is funny. I have so many hilarious things that my DH and I have done while doing our projects. Many of them involve falling....into boxes, off ladders, down the hill on the side of the house. Of course there was the time I almost set my house on fire and it was all smokey....and a salesman came to my door. I started yelling at him..."do you really think this is the time for you to sell me something"
I would have to say the funniest and most embarrassing happened to me at my last office job or it was my mother when I was growing up...she loved to embarrass me
Office. I was sitting in my bosses office across from him at his desk. We were having a meeting....and me all nice and clean in heals and a dress. Sometime during the meeting my legs fell asleep. We were finished and I got up to leave. I almost made it to his office door and both of my legs gave out and I fell sprawled out on the floor in a dress which of course slid up. Nothing to do but laugh.
My mother. She was an absolute nut when I was growing up and often times a lot of fun...and sometimes I pretended not to know her This was when I was about 17. I drove to school and she was driving right behind me on her way to work. We got to the intersection right before my school which was very busy with buses and kids driving. I stopped for a red light. She got out of her car and came running over to mine and started yelling at me....really loud with hands going. She was yelling for me to stay away from her husband...and called me names OMG...she was insane
She would also hang out the window when I was driving and yell to other drivers that I was kidnapping her

Tell us about it. My then three year old daughter, was feeding ducks on the shores of Lake Taneycomo in Branson, Mo and when the feed ran out she wiggle her finger at them as to call them closer. Well one came close and grabbed her by the finger nearly pulling her in the lake. Talk about a squalling kid but she redefined "Squalling".

Do you think this is an acceptable way to break bad news to someone or not?no, I think it's manipulative and unkind
At home or in the theater, what are your favorite movie foods?I don't really get the movie/food connection - as much as I love snacking, that's just not one of the times I want to.
If you don't watch movies, what do you eat when relaxing?I'll snack on anything from chocolate to chips to carrot sticks - depends on my mood, waistline, and willpower!
Have you ever wished you had a video camera to record something you saw for one of the funny video clip shows?yes! One of the funniest family moments was when my mom (in her late 70s) did her imitation of our young male cousin struggling to walk in his ridiculously low, baggy jeans!
Today's Question:
Okay, today's your chance.
Let's pretend you have a perfect singing voice and you get to perform the song of your choice, for as many or as few people as you want, no pressure.
Anyway, this is just for fun so . . .
What song are you going to sing and where?
"Ave Maria" and if I can pretend I have the perfect voice then I have to also pretend I would actually get up and sing it outside of my car or shower so I'll go with Red Rocks.
Why that song?
No idea. It just popped into my head when you asked. I guess I think of it as a challenging song, usually sung by opera types, and if you have the perfect voice you should go for something hard like that to sing.
I've never done it but this makes me recall the original 1972 "The Heartbreak Kid" when Charles Grodin's character tells Jeannie Berlin's character ON THEIR HONEYMOON that it's over in a restaurant over a piece of pecan pie. (He met Cybil Sheppard when his wife got too sunburned to stay outdoors.)
Do you think this is an acceptable way to break bad news to someone or not?
Well the person that's doing it in a public place is deliberately doing it there counting on the other person not to make a scene so the person getting the news should make the biggest scene possible, if it's done to them, and make sure they say the person's full name loudly (maybe even throw in a few tidbits about them) to cure them of ever doing it again.
Foodie Question:
At home or in the theater, what are your favorite movie foods?
popcorn, twizzlers, blue icees. (At home - ice cream but not in the theater)
If you don't watch movies, what do you eat when relaxing?
Ice cream is always the favorite, pretzel rods, peanuts, a fruit and nutty mix.
Just for fun:
In high school I once landed belly first in a mud puddle during a PE baseball game. Everyone got a big laugh out of it. I got a set of muddy gym clothes out of it.

What song are you going to sing and where? Oh my there are so many....I like big powerful ballads so most of Celine Dion would be in the running but let's so with "I can only Imagine" by Mercy Me.
Do you think this is an acceptable way to break bad news to someone or not? No way no how.....how inconsiderate!
Foodie Question:
At home or in the theater, what are your favorite movie foods? Anything chocolate. Bonus is salty added so let's have chocolate covered pretzels!
If you don't watch movies, what do you eat when relaxing? I don't need a special event for chocolate!
