Sunday Stealing.....

Shannon's Moments Meme, Part One

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes (or surveys) 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 the expression, “honor among thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from. When possible, we contact the owner of the blog where we stole the post. 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.

We Found this gem when a few weeks ago we asked for memes to steal. Shannon W (my friend and the author of Moments of Introspection) gave us this one but did not tell me where she got it. It's long so we broke it up in two parts. As it says above, we edit and change questions. Mostly I hate yes or no questions. That also allows the person I stole it from to play. That's not a goal but it is reality. If you think hosting a meme is easy, try it once. Okay, now time for me to shout:

Cheer to all of us thieves!!

Sunday Stealing: Shannon's Moments Meme, Part One

1. Do you like blue cheese?  Yes.

2. Have you ever smoked cigarettes?  Yes.  If yes, how did you quit?  Cold turkey.

3. Do you own a gun?  Yes.  How are your feelings about gun control/2nd amendment rights?  I believe in our right to own weapons and be armed. I have a concealed carry permit and so does Joe.  I think it would be fine if all law-abiding citizens were armed and knowledgeable in how to properly handle a weapon. There would be less violent crime if criminals knew someone was most likely armed. I grew up with guns in the house. I have a healthy respect for them.

4. What is your favorite flavor of water or liquor flavors?  I like Spring Water and don't have a favorite liquor flavor.

5. Do you get nervous before a doctor visit?  No. Why?  I like and respect my doctors. Blessed.

6. How do you like your hot dogs?  With mustard and relish.

7. Although it’s been asked a lot, tell us about a favorite movie that you haven’t shared before.  I can't think of any.

8. What do you prefer to drink in the morning?  Coffee.

9. In a dating situation, have you ever misrepresented yourself to seem cooler or hipper? (Yes we know for most of you it was long ago…)  Nope.  Doing that only gets you in trouble...and it has been a very, very long time since I was dating.

10. What’s your favorite piece of jewelry?  My wedding ring.  Why?  It matches Joe's, rarely comes off my finger and represents our love and commitment to each other.

11. Favorite hobby?  These days, blogging seems like a hobby. Tell us about it so we understand it.  If you are here, reading this, I think you understand.  It consumes a lot of time!!

12. Do you have A.D.D., or have you suspected it?  No to both questions.

13. What’s a thing you dislike or would change about yourself?  It would be nice to be a more average height (I'm nearly 6' tall) and weight (too heavy) and I would love to have a smaller foot (size 12).  Shopping for clothes and shoes is not fun for me.

14. Middle name?  Lee.  Like it or not?  It's okay. I rarely use it, choosing L. instead.  It was my great-grandmother's middle name - Verda Lee.  Better Lee than Verda, I think! :)

15. Name three random thoughts you might have on this week:  I'm cleaning out files at work and have been wearing jeans and a t-shirt to work;  why am I putting off cleaning things out at home?; waiting to hear when granddaughter Lauren is coming for a visit.

16. Name 3 drinks you regularly drink.  Water, coffee, orange juice.  Tell us a bit about them.  I try to drink 40-60 ounces of water a day. I drink one or two cups of coffee each day and I have orange juice every morning. What more is there to say?

17. Current worry:  I don't worry anymore. Truly, I don't worry about things anymore. I choose to give it to God. My worrying changes nothing.

18. Current annoyance:  One of our cats is peeing where he shouldn't and I don't know what else to try, to get him to stop. Never had that problem before. Any help from any of you?  Yes, he is neutered, loved and he is not sick.  It started when we lost Onyx a year ago, who was the master of the house.

19. Favorite place to be in the summer?  Wherever it is air conditioned, here in Florida.  Give us a wee bit more than “the beach”.

20. How do you usually ring in the new year?   At home. If forced (how we’d do that without Judd coming to your house if you even know who he was) to do something new, what would it be?  We have had little parties at home a few times over the years. I would do that, but have no desire to be out in the crowds or on the roads with drunks.

21. What have you done this summer that’s special? Pictures please.  I've posted photos and blogged about our niece's wedding and our beach vacations, both at Folly Beach, SC and at St. Pete Beach.

22. Have you ever walked into a room with just shoes on?  I don't remember. Probably not is my guess because if I'm naked, I most likely don't have my shoes on.
