QotD: Easier Said Than Done

  • Apr 30, 2007
  • Post a comment

What's some good advice you've given to a friend, but not followed yourself? 
Submitted by robbbiedobbbie.

To chill out about their boyfriends/crushes/husbands/fiances.  Wow I never follow that advice.  I can dispense dude advice up the wazoo but I can't follow anything I say.

To exercise because it makes you feel better physically and emotionally.  I only occasionally work out.

I'm sure there are a ton more.  I basically never follow advice I toss out.

QotD: It's Going To Be Different This Year

  • Jan 1, 2007
  • Post a comment

What are your resolutions for 2007?

1. Lose the weight I gained when I moved here.  This is more of a first quarter resolution.  I've done it before, I can do it again.

2. Run on a regular schedule.  This may not start until the weather gets warmer.

3. Not drink as much.  Meaning, maybe drink 1 time per week pending any extreme circumstances like a show or a visit from a friend.

4. Stay in with Audrey more.  Spend more time with Lil A so she continues to love me.

5. Continue to show people that I care about them.

6. Work harder at my job.

7. Write a lot more, finish the book I should have finished in November.

Wow, some amazing quizes out there.

Is it wrong for a 25 year old to be taking online quizes designed for 14 year olds?  If it's wrong, then I don't wanna be right.  If anything, I can chalk it up to some sort of sociological/gender/anthropological study....right?

This may be the best quiz of all time, and included this question (1 of 3): second question, ok .. how many relashionships have u had? (dont lie just bcuz your ugly).  This is what it told me, I totally got duped!!!! I wanted to know if I was fat or not!:

The Are you Fat (very accurate) Quiz:
haha!!! omg i cant believe u acuallly took it, i have NO idea if your fat or not, geesh, but since u took this, yur probably very skinny and u wanted 2 b told so, screw u, or u could b very fat and in denial hoping this quiz would reviel the truth about your obeassidy, or u were lazy and had nothing better 2 do, in which case, im with u! but the overall anser to this quiz is........YES YOU ARE FAT GO EAT SOME CELARY

This one is one of those WILL I LIKE U GRLZ ONLY PLZ ones, but the photo is AWESOME:

you are the perfect girl for me so like message me some time by the way that is me

Give a Dog a Home

  • Dec 12, 2006
  • Post a comment

This weeks poor abandoned pup is Lacy, who is living in Wooster, OH.  Lacy was found wandering the streets, and just had a growth removed from her back leg.  She looks like a little cuddlewumpkins of an old dog!  I will never understand people who just dump their dogs outside.  Even if this dog was lost, why no signs?  No calls to the shelters?  Poor Lacy.

More info on Lacy here

QotD: Books From My Childhood

  • Dec 10, 2006
  • Post a comment

What books did you love as a child? 
Submitted by hearts. 

I loved the Ramona Quimby books, I read them dozens of times.  I also read the Babysitters Club Series, Sweet Valley Twins, Fear Street (Lol), Christopher Pike books, Anne of Green Gables, Little House on the Prairie, Nancy Drew mysteries...I read pretty much any series designed for  elementary and junior high students.

In picture book days, I really liked Peter Rabbit books and Frog and Toad are friends.  I think my family couldn't afford to buy us new books, so we were stuck with the classics. 

I got those series books from the public library, which my mother took us to once or twice weekly.  Go figure, now I'm a librarian.

QotD: I Bought This Just For You

  • Dec 5, 2006
  • Post a comment

Are you a re-gifter?  Have you ever re-gifted?
Submitted by Sandals.

No, but thats because I've been fairly lucky with the gifts I've received.  However, if I get a gift I don't like, I simply donate it to a thrift shop.  I hope nobody has re-gifted anything I got them!  I'd rather just have the present back for myself.

Give a dog a home

  • Dec 3, 2006
  • Post a comment

Each week I go through petfinder.com to search for unwanted dogs in Chicago.  It breaks my heart to see so many dogs nobody wants, and to read the reasons they have been abandoned (too old, not cute anymore, owner died).  So each week I'll post a link to a pup that needs help. 

This week's roo-roo is Kinski.  Yes, like Klaus Kinski, actor extraordinaire.  I've seen this dog on petfinder for at least a month, which just makes my cold little heart melt.  Kinski is an older dog, which makes her less desirable in the adoption world sadly.  Kinski also looks a lot like my rescued mutt Audrey.  If I knew my living situation in a few months I'd probably call and arrange a visit with her.  But for now I need to stick with an only dog-child. 

Info on Kinski
