Have you ever given a Toast at an event or gathering ?
Yes, I have been honored to do so several times, at weddings and retirements.

Will you be buying any Girl Scout cookies this year ? If so whats your favorite flavor(s) ? I don't expect to be buying any.....BUT if any kids come to the door....of course I will place an order.....
(but I think the cookies are overpriced and over rated and it always feels to me like a corporate exploitation of youth.) Today in History:
1732 1st mass celebrated in 1st American Catholic church, Philadelphia
1870 1st New York City subway line opens
1919 - The Grand Canyon was established as a National Park by an act of the U.S. Congress
1930 1st red and green traffic lights installed (Manhattan New York City)
1960 - For $105 you could buy a do-it-yourself fallout shelter. A full-size model of one was on display in a bank in New York. Bobby Dylan had a song released "I will not go down under the ground, cuz someone says that Death's coming Round"

Tell a Fairy Tale Day-Once upon a time I actually did my work 1st and played 2nd.
Wow - Karla! Hope you are sleeping in now that you took care of the most important part of the day!
I have given just two "formal" toasts. Then there were the airline years. Worked a lot of 3-day trips & got to know my co-workers well. There was a lot of "informal" toasting back then!
I have been a member of a bridal party many times...I loved it!
Which of the following "wedding reception or party standards" have you participated in: Every one you listed, I have done. I try to really celebrate someone else's wedding; I know they will be in for tough times (& good ones too!) down the road. I take it very seriously when the priest (or whomever is officiating, Karla!) asks everyone present to support the new couple.
My fave GS cookies are the Samoans (sp?). Haven't had a GS cookie in years though. Usually I leave the box behind at work or just give the girls a donation. Otherwise my hind quarters will forever be brobdingnagian!

For Pete's Sake Day - anyone know how they came up with that phrase?

I don't know if anyone will get to our home selling cookies or not. When I was working, I always bought from the first person who asked and then told everybody else I had already purchased. I like all the cookies except the chocolate mint and I can eat them. I think the chocolate covered caramel are my absolute favorites. Peanut butter would be a tie or close second.

Will you be buying any Girl Scout cookies this year ?
I love girl scout cookies but girl scouts never come knocking on my door. I am feverishly trying to find someone who knows a little girl selling cookies. I don't shop frequently enough to catch them in front of stores. If I find a girl scout selling cookies... her whole family will be able to retire when I get finished ordering and buying... (well, that might be a bit of an exaggeration)
