The One Thing Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from. We also provide a link to the victim's meme in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from this new meme or recently asked questions from a previously featured meme. 
Cheers to all of us thieves!!!

One Thing ..... 

 that makes you smile: 

My kid.  He seriously keeps me in stitches. 
that makes you cry: 



Lassie coming over that hill,  gets me every time. 

that you love to do on the weekends: 
Sleep in. 

that you do for only yourself: 

Isn't that a little personal?  Really?  Who comes up with these?  Or wait - is it just my dirty mind. 

that you have in your underwear drawer that's NOT underwear: I'm realizing now the path that this could take, but that I am certainly not going to let it.  LMAO.  To that end - there is nothing in my underwear drawer that isn't underwear.  Maybe a rogue thong that I haven't thrown out yet (not a fan of the butt floss) lol

that you do before going to sleep: Really??  Read.  Play a game of candy crush.  Then the last thing?  I close my eyes..,

that you do within the first 15 minutes after waking: 



check the time.  Get up.
 
that's in your purse: I see what happened here.  A couple of questions were all squished together.

So.  In my purse?  My wallet.  Not much right now, actually..
that you actually LIKE to clean: 

My kitchen.  I love it when it's all clean and everything is in it's place.

that you DETEST cleaning: 
When I was a kid, vacuuming the stairs was my job.  I hated it then, I hate it now.  So for anyone that comes over?  Sorry about the stairs - I meant to get to them.  Next time.  LOL

that other people would find odd about you: 

I dunno.  Maybe if you tried to figure out what WASN'T odd about me you'd have better odds?  LOL

that you would buy if I handed you a $100 bill: 

Right now?  It'd go toward the casino trip I'm going on Tuesday.  With a bunch of old people.  Who, apparently want to teach us how to play craps.  LOL

that you feel you HAVE to do before you die:

Beer is food..

Mysterious Ways

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!


Saturday 9: Mysterious Ways (1991)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In honor of St. Patrick's Day (this coming Tuesday), we're featuring one of Ireland's most successful exports, U2. What else is Ireland famous for?Leprechauns, padadas, Waterford crystal, Beleek china and of course, da Guinness!  :)
2) The Dublin studio where U2 recorded this song (and all of Achtung, Baby) is now a music store called Claddagh Records. U2 pilgrims from all over the world travel to the spot (Celia Street, Dublin 2). If we were to visit your neighborhood, are there any landmarks you could direct us to?LOL funny thing.  I'm the only one in the neighborhood with a rock out front. 
3) Lead singer Bono is rarely seen without his trademark sunglasses because he suffers from glaucoma. How is your vision? 20/20?
Awwww helllllls no!  I'm blind as a bat without my glasses.. 

4) Bono and wife Alison were married in 1982 and are still together today. Who is the longest-married couple you know?
 Country Dew and her hubby :)
5) When Bono inducted Frank Sinatra into the Grammy Hall of Fame, he applauded the older man's "swagger." Do you think you have swagger?Do I have swagger?  Silly munchkin.  Of COURSE I have swagger!
6) Bono has been honored by world leaders, including President Obama and Nelson Mandela and the Pope, for his philanthropy. Here's your turn to brag: tell us something you have received praise for recently.My swagger..
7) Clearly Bono is the most famous member of U2. Who else is in the band?
The Edge.  Something that I live on every day. LOL

8) On St. Patrick's Day, will you wear green?
I'm Irish.  And Catholic.  Does a bear shit in the woods?
9) Will you enjoy a glass of green beer or maybe a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's?
Shamrock shakes are delightful.  Delicious.  Delovely.  But oh my goodness they are full of bad stuff.  Unlike beer.  Beer is way better for you.  It's got hops.  Barley.  Water.  Wheat.  Beer is food...

Don't ever use the words "leather" and "slacks" in the same sentence.

Here I Go Again

Welcome to Saturday: 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!


Saturday 9: Here I Go Again (1982)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This song originally appeared on Whitesnake's Saints and Sinners album. Are you feeling more saintly or sinful this morning?Neither.  I'm not above anyone so much to ever be considered saintly, and my sins are out there for all to see.  LOL  I feel like me. 

2) Whitesnake was formed by Brit David Coverdale, who now lives in Lake Tahoe, NV. Have you ever wanted to relocate to another country?In high school, I had the opportunity to apply to the Goethe Institute in Germany.  I kept putting it off and putting it off, because I just had a feeling that if I ever moved there - I'd never come home.  

But now?  Meh...  

3) In the song, Coverdale says he "was born to walk alone." Do you enjoy time on your own? Or do you quickly get bored or lonely?I really enjoy my "alone time".  In fact, I'm having some right now!  I love getting up early in the morning and having my coffee and having it just be me and the world..

4) During the band's 1980s heyday, Coverdale was known for his skintight leather pants. Do you own leather pants or slacks?

NO.  And just an FYI?  Don't ever use the words "leather" and "slacks" in the same sentence.  

5) What about snakeskin?

Double no.  Ew. 

6) It's estimated that 20,000 people die of snake bite every year. Approximately 1,000 suffer fatal spider bites. Less than 50 are killed each year by sharks. Considering sharks, spiders and snakes, which do you find scariest?

Spiders freak me the eff out.  I know - KNOW I tell you - that if there is one in my bedroom and I go to sleep, it's going to drop down from the ceiling, lay eggs on my face and when I wake up I'm going to scratch my face and thousands of baby spiders are going to scatter.  All.  Over.  My... BED.  

7) In 1982, when this song was popular, the world lost Princess Grace of Monaco. Before she became a royal, she was film star Grace Kelly. Have you ever seen a Grace Kelly movie?

I'm sure, I just never kept track.  Should I have?

8) Speaking of movies, the top-grossing film of 1982 was ET: The Extra Terrestrial. Have you seen it?

Pshhhhhhhhh... of course.  AND I've been on the ride.  

9) Random question: How many timepieces will you have to reset when we spring ahead this weekend?

4, I think?  I don't wear a watch.  So stove, microwave, clock on the wall, and my radio.  I think that's it.

what I do have are a very particular set of skills

17 Meme
Stolen from: Survey Haven
Are you a jealous person?
Depends, you trying to take something that belongs to me?  And really - if it's about a man?  If he wants you, you can have him.  Ain't nobody got time for that foolishness. 

When is the next time you’re traveling out of state? 
I'm not sure.  It doesn't take much, though - 45 minutes, give or take. 
Can you write your name in a foreign language?
Yeah.  I'm Lathakina, the Hawaiian Princess.

When you’re getting ready for something, do you listen to music?
What am I getting ready for?  A funeral?  Probably no.  A night out with the girls?  Prolly. 

What is your favorite day of the week? 
The ones ending in Y that I wake up and put two feet on the ground.  I'm simple like that.  :)
What is something you did yesterday and wish you could’ve done today?
Considering I've been down and out with a nasty, nasty cold - I didn't do much yesterday.  Planning on doing the same thing today, too. 

If you woke up tomorrow and knew/spoke a different language, which language would you want it to be?
The Queen's English.  LOL

What did you last order online?
some Tastefully Simple stuff for my neighbor :)

Do you have any specific hobbies? I can tell you I don't have hobbies. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my child go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.
What’s a song you recently discovered that you want to tell everyone about? 
I heart Bruno Mars lately, in my eyes - he can do no wrong.  I just think he is the best all around performer out there right now - and damn that boy has talent, he's not synthesized or any of that crap. 
Favorite fall or winter accessory?

Love love love my UGGs.  I actually used to have 2 pair, and a dog ate one of them.  I got them years and years ago (when I was rich, sigh... I miss when I was rich..)  Oh.  I digress.  They are probably 10 years old, and now need to be replaced - but for those that complain about the price - mine have lasted 10 years and I am ROUGH on boots.  So for the price - they're worth it.  
  What did you last eat?
I made a chicken coconut curry thing in the crockpot last night.  I'm not a huge fan of chicken going in raw - it comes out mushy.  Still good, though.  :)

Look to your left. What’s there?
My kitchen. 

How long does it take you to fall asleep?
Depends. I'm usually asleep within 1/2 hour of my head hitting the pillow. 

Is there a TV in the room you are in?
Nope.  I'm not a huge fan of TV's in every room.  I have one in my living room, and one in my bedroom.  The ONLY reason there is one in my bedroom is if I'm sick, Josh is sick, or I have a friend's kid over - there is somewhere other than the living room to watch something different.  I made the mistake of getting a TV in the boy's room once.  That didn't last long.  LOL

What comes to your mind when I say red?
My aunt Maggie.  She had great red hair.  And a personality to match!

Name something you think is pointless?
Poking the beasts.  LOL  But it's so much fun sometimes!
