Personal Opinions- Life questions
(1) Name a board game you’ll never get tired of playing?
Monopoly or scrabble
Pictionary
Clue
Going with Aggie on this one….Monopoly or scrabble
(2) Do you act your age?
No, always my shoe size which is 9, I guess i never want to be the old bag in a rocker even if i were 90
Hell no…there’s plenty of time for that when I get older. I like to have fun!
Always, but age is relevant to your outlook on life.
uhhhhhhh….NO! LMAO Well..only when I absolutely HAVE to.
(3) List 3 political issues you feel strongly about?
Cancer research, Right to choose, same sex should be allowed to marry if they choose also stem cell research, hopefully they will find some cure one day for dementia, now they say coconut oil helps alot.
‘Right to Chose’ first came to mind. That is a deal breaker for me when deciding who to vote for.
Interesting to see the Girls adding Stem Cell to their 3… So much harm was done during Bush’s years in office on this topic. Just saw yesterday, a study where they have restored sight to two people using stem cells. In the mean time I’ll be stocking up on Coconut Oil.
On the liberal side, we have a topic Fran brought up. It annoys me to have to press ’1 for English’, but, I’m a realist and understand where things are heading.
1. I’m all for stem cell research if it can help to find cures for cancer and other diseases.
2. illegal immigrants…Calling an illegal immigrant an ‘undocumented worker’ is like calling a burglar an uninvited house guest.
3. Health care….there are way too many people without medical insurance. People are not getting the care that is needed due to the rising costs.
WOW! Hard to pick just three. But I’ll give it a shot.
1. Definitely stem cell research.
2. The right to choose.
3. The way the senators & others pay themselves & keep great health care & damn the working folks.
There are many many more. But these are my top 3 for TODAY.
(4) What old shows do you still wish you could see on TV?
You can see most of those old shows on, certain cable channels, my mom watches mostly the old ones.
The last four seasons of Breaking Bad. They really should be on onDemand.
Rent them from Netflix…
Does this question mean ‘still wish were on’ or just being on tv somewhere, Aggie. If still on tv, then ‘Alias’ and ‘Cheers’… although Sam and the gang might be in a juice bar now…
As cheesy as it was…Miami Vice. WKRP In Cinn….a few others but not many.
(5) Share a story about a difficult choice you made, but were glad you made it?
It wasn’t difficult at all, my assine neighbor kept allowing his dog to use my lawn as a toilet, Throwing his dog shit against his front door, clued him in to clean up after his dog, and you know what, it never happened again. I think he’s pretty scared of me now
I will have to think about this one. I think when I quit the family business.
OK I’ll go with the safest one that won’t freak anybody out or make me cry.
The decision to get a divorce. It was a rough one. I KNEW we needed to be apart but it was hard giving up after 10 years, after saying “Until death do you part.” After I filed the papers though, it felt like the weight of the world had been lifted off my shoulders. His too I’m sure…although he bitched the whole way through it. BUT it all worked out & we are good friends now. NO NOT FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS. JUST FRIENDS!! 
Some of my other choices would probably freak people out & I know talking about them would make me cry cause I’ve had to make some HARD ASS choices. But this one is good to put here.
Thanks all who come by, I hope you have a wonderful, peaceful day, take care all, peace out ♥
Thanks for the questions Aggie….some were pretty hard again. I never cared much for history, but then again, I really didn’t care much for school.
Thanks Dear, I hope You Have A great day, take care
Thanks for the fun Aggie. Good questions as usual. I hope everyone is having a good day.
MUCH LOVE TO ALL WHO COME BY LATER!!
~Cynthia~
Thanks for coming on Cyn, good seeing you here again, take care my dear
to all that come by later….
Great one Fran, thanks
Come on, Frances… tell us how you Really feel!
Hi all hope everyone is doing well today…see you soon……
I have left everyone a little gift on their facebook pages… here’s another…
http://youtu.be/LWjOG7h-L-s
Now Ted…I’m not on Facebook. WTF?? LMAO
Hi Ted, I am not on face book….This is about as much face time I can deal with!……………
Hello Bobo….see you later Bobo.
Anyone know anything about Photo Bucket? If you sign in can you then bring things you like to you computer or will you get a ton of E-Mails from them?…………. Can you use photos from there for a Gravatar?
Ted you should know or maybe JT or Fran!
Thanks, Bob……………..
Yes, Bob. I have to go, but will write you about it when I get the time. That is how you get the code needed to post photos on Aggie’s Blog. You can use photos from your mac on Gravatar like you are doing and don’t need to put them to Photobucket. JT may know and Fran will be clueless… but they are Special, and don’t need things like that… but then all they can really post, are silly cartoons and fuzzy warm photos that other’s have made…
You only wish you can do these things Ted!
I sense a twinge of jealousy Ted
Yep Bobo, Photobucket is a good place for Images
Hi Cynthia
!
Hey sweetie. Still trying to find a way to write the answer to the last question.
I need a new gravatar. Any suggestions?? And DON’T be ugly Ted.
Ted, Send Cyn some Ideas
Time to cook dinner. Gotta go.
PEACE & BIG HUGS,
~Cynthia~
Right Back at ya Cyn, take care my dear
I’m out for the night….time for some tv ..catch you all later….
Goodnight Bobo, sleep well
Thanks Guys for the support, I apreesh, Goodnight all ♥
Goodnight all see you soon!………………….
