~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I AM POSTING BLISSES ANSWERS TO THE QUESTIONS BEFORE MINE..

SO THERE IS TWO SETS OF QUESTIONS.. THE FIRST IS BLISS'S... THE SECOND IS LOCKERRIDGE'S ...

I SEE THIS ONE HAS GOTTEN THE WAY THIS WORKS!

EXCELLENT!

ONWARD THEN !

INTO THE WORLD OF BLISS TAG TORTURE!

1.)What kitchen utensil do you must closely resemble? I'd have to be a wooden spoon. Always useful, rather charming to see in your kitchen and way easy to wash.

2.) You get to spend the next three months in any store of your liking, with things like food, hygiene and entertainment a give. What store? Barns&Noble of course!

3.) You get to pick a two-word nick name that fits you to a t. What is it? MissBliss. I'm a lady, I'm blissful and 'bliss' just happens to be my name.

4.) If you were a web address, your URL would read? www.forgetthemap.com

5.) The one song you're willing to sing in public? Amazing grace

6.) The last time you blew bubbles was? About a month ago. My fingers got all sticky from the bubble soap and I dropped my wand in the dirt. I felt like a six year old again.

7.) I'll cook for you. What am I making? Tonight I want steak with caramelized onions.

9.) Your biggest pet peeve? I'll take Miss Goldburg's stance on pet peeves. "I don't have pet peeves, I have whole kennels of irritation."

10.) Ask me anything right here and I'll give you an answer... Did you enjoy this survey?

WELL LETS JUST CALL IT A TRUE TRIBUTE TO MY FRIEND BLISS, BECAUSE SHE THOUGHT THE IDEAS FOR THE QUESTIONS.. AND THEN THOUGHT THE IDEAS THAT LEAD ME TO BECOME A VICTIM TO HER INNOCENT EYES AND PLEADING, AND A SCORE OF TEN, ON THE SCALE IN BEGGING TECHNIQUES!

1.) What kitchen utensil do you must closely resemble?

WELL THAT WOULD BE MY TRUSTY MR. COFFEE MAKER.. II

I NEED TO BE WASHED, I AM BEGINNING TO CHIP AROUND THE EDGES.. AND SOMETIMES I LEAK ONTO THE FLOOR.. AND I DON'T GET AS WARM AS QUICK AS I USED TO... SIGH.. THAT IS JUST PITIFUL NOW..

2.) You get to spend the next three months in any store of your liking, with things like food, hygiene and entertainment a give. What store?

THERE ARE OTHER STORES BESIDES WALMART?

WHY DIDN'T SOMEBODY TELL ME THIS SOONER..?????

PEOPLE THAT IS JUST NOT NICE TO KEEP ME IN THE DARK ABOUT THE POSSIBLITY OF ANOTHER STORE BESIDES THE SUPERCENTERS..

I GOT LOST IN THERE LAST WEEK.. THEY SENT IN THE DOGS TO TRACK ME DOWN..

IT WAS NOT PRETTY PEOPLE..

AND THE PICTURE IN THE PAPER WAS DOWNRIGHT EMBARRASSING..

3.) You get to pick a two-word nick name that fits you to a t. What is it?

NEEDS MEDICATION..... I WILL SAY NO MORE ABOUT THIS ONE.. IT SHOULD BE PRETTY OBVIOUS TO FOLKS.. THOSE WHO KEEP SENDING ME THOSE EMAILS FROM THE MILLY DILLY COME STAY WITH US BEFORE YOU ARE PERMANENTLY SILLY.. RESORTS AND SPAS.. HAVE IT FIGURED OUT! WHY NOT MY FRIENDS HERE.... YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST!

4.) If you were a web address, your URL would read?

WWW.HUH?.ORG

5.) The one song you're willing to sing in public?

JUST ONE?

I AM WILLING TO SING ANY SONG IN PUBLIC..

THE REAL QUESTION IS WHICH ONE ARE YOU WILLING TO SIT AND LISTEN TO ME SING..

PICK A SHORT ONE.. YOU WILL BE GLAD YOU DID!

6.) The last time you blew bubbles was?

YOU KNOW THIS IS KIND OF WEIRDER THAN USUAL FOR ME..

IT WAS ONLY LAST SUNDAY, WHEN KYLE AND I WENT TO THE DOLLAR STORE, AMD BOUGHT SOME OF THOSE SPECIAL BUBBLES THAT DON'T POP, VERY EASY...

THEY ARE SOME WEIRD STUFF..... WHEN YOU BLOW THE BUBBLE THE SKIN GET REALLY TOUGH AND THEY JUST FLOAT AND FLOAT AND EVEN IF THEY HIT THE GROUND THEY WON'T POP..

WE CALLED THEM... MUTANT NINJA BUBBLES FROM THE PLANET..

TOUGHBUBBLE..

WHERE THEY SUCK THIS STUFF OUT OF THE CENTER OF THE PLANET.... AND SELL IT TO THE DOLLAR STORE..

WE THINK THAT IS HOW IT ALL COMES ABOUT.. ..

7.) I'll cook for you. What am I making?

EVERYTHING... YOU GOT GOOD CREDIT.. CAUSE THIS GROCERY LIST IS GOING TO NEED A LOAN FLOATED TO PAY FOR IT ALL!

9.) Your biggest pet peeve?

I HAVE NEVER EVEN HAD A LITTLE PET NAMED PEEVE... BUT I WILL GET ONE, OKAY?

AND GET BACK TO YOU ON THIS LATER...

10.) Ask me anything right here and I'll give you an answer...

WOULD YOU MIND IF I ADDED JUST ONE MORE..... QUESTION TO YOUR TAG?

BOY THAT WAS FAST... THANKS BLISS

11.) DO YOU BELIEVE THOSE CHAIN LETTERS THAT TRY TO SCARE YOU INTO FORWARDING THEM TO 20 OF YOUR FRIENDS IN 10 MINUTEES

OR YOUR LIPS WILL TURN BLACK, AND YOUR EARLOBES WILL TURN INTO LITTLE LUMPS OF BROCCOLI?

AND YOUR WILL LOSE YOUR TRUE LOVE WHOM, YOU WILL MEET ON THE NET IN 5 YEARS.. ON THE NEW GAME SHOW.. "YOU BROKE THE CHAIN"....??????

HEHEEHE JUST AS I THOUGHT... YOU ARE AFRAID OF THE CHAIN MAIL EVIL GNOME....

SO ANYONE WHO ACTUALLY MAKES IT TO MY BLOG TO READ THIS.. IT HAS BEEN SO LONG, SINCE YOU HAVE BEEN TO SEE ME.... HUH?

ZAPPPO YOU HAVE BEEN TAGGED.. IF YOU WANT TO BE..

MY PC HAS SPOKEN. TIME FOR US TO REST..

AND SPY EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE, TO SEE WHO COMES BY ..

TO ACTUALLY READ MY BLOG..

JUNE 6, 2007 A POEM THAT WILL MAKE YOU HAVE THE WARM FUZZIES..

Lincoln’s letter to his son’s teacher

He will have to learn, I know,
that all men are not just,
all men are not true.
But teach him also that
for every scoundrel there is a hero;
that for every selfish Politician,
there is a dedicated leader…
Teach him for every enemy there is a friend,

Steer him away from envy,
if you can,
teach him the secret of
quiet laughter.

Let him learn early that
the bullies are the easiest to lick…
Teach him, if you can,
the wonder of books…
But also give him quiet time
to ponder the eternal mystery of birds in the sky,
bees in the sun,
and the flowers on a green hillside.

In the school teach him
it is far honourable to fail
than to cheat…
Teach him to have faith
in his own ideas,
even if everyone tells him
they are wrong…
Teach him to be gentle
with gentle people,
and tough with the tough.

Try to give my son
the strength not to follow the crowd
when everyone is getting on the band wagon…
Teach him to listen to all men…
but teach him also to filter
all he hears on a screen of truth,
and take only the good
that comes through.

Teach him if you can,
how to laugh when he is sad…
Teach him there is no shame in tears,
Teach him to scoff at cynics
and to beware of too much sweetness…
Teach him to sell his brawn
and brain to the highest bidders
but never to put a price-tag
on his heart and soul.

Teach him to close his ears
to a howling mob
and to stand and fight
if he thinks he’s right.
Treat him gently,
but do not cuddle him,
because only the test
of fire makes fine steel.

Let him have the courage
to be impatient…
let him have the patience to be brave.
Teach him always
to have sublime faith in himself,
because then he will have
sublime faith in mankind.

This is a big order,
but see what you can do…
He is such a fine little fellow,
my son!

JUNE 1, 2007 THE AMAZING 6 MILLION DOLLAR CAR COMMERCIAL..

THE MACHINE OF THE FUTURE..

GOT A GOOD ONE FOR YOU GUYS THIS TIME.. NO MORE REDNECK JOKES.. ONLY HIGH TECH STUFF FOR ALL MY CYBER FRIENDS.. HEHEHE

MY AUNT SENT THIS IN AN EMAIL . IT IS AMAZING .. IT REALLY IS..

Be sure to read this info first, then watch the clip. And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertisement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have gotten. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.
