... Or when you have nothing interesting or clever to write, steal an idea from some one else! In this case, I stole the meme from Miss Candy-Apple (thank you, Candy!)
Appetizer: What was the very last song you listened to?
"Ghost in This House" - Allison Krauss & Union Station. Over and over and over and over and ... Tom is trying to learn it on the guitar, along with the words. His way of doing that is to listen to it and play along. Over and over and over and over and ...
Soup: What is one company/store/corporation you would recommend that people stay away from?
WOO-HOO! Soap box time!
Any body who has read this blog for more than a week already knows how I feel about Wally World so I won't go into the details (again). Suffice it to say, were it up to me, there would be no such place within a hundred mile radius of my home.
Their image is faltering lately (again) with all of the negative publicity about employee benefits so what do they do? Rather than try to improve those benefits for the people who work their butts off to make the corporation richer, they are lowering prescription drugs prices for the public. Well, who wouldn't go to Wally World and pay $4 for a prescription that would cost $100 somewhere else (I mean besides me)?
In the meantime, the employees are still treated like third-world, second-rate citizens. But ... they only have to pay $4.00 for their prescriptions! Just like every body else who doesn't work for them to help make the corporation richer! Oh wait, any one who buys those $4 prescriptions is making the corporation richer.
Salad: On a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being highest, how much do you enjoy having your picture made?
Hmmmmm ... trick question. "Made"? Or "taken"? If someone wants to make a picture of me, please ... make it sexy, seductive and gorgeous. I hate having my picture taken! My daughter and granddaughters got all of the photogenic genes in this family, believe me.
Main Course: Besides a bookmark, what is something you've used to keep your place in a book?
Bookmark? What's a bookmark? That's probably the one thing I never use! Let's see ... I've used the book cover itself (the fly leaf); those tear-out-subscription-order-cards from magazines; pencils or pens; sticky notes; photographs; book of stamps; business cards; torn pieces of paper; paper clips; reading glasses; the cat's tail (that only happened once); and yeah, I've dog-eared the page. But only on paper-backs!
Dessert: Name a food that you like that most people don't.
Escargot! Sweetbreads! Chicken Livers! Chicken Gizzards! Marrow! German Chocolate cake in a big glass of ice cold milk! No, no, no! Not all together ... individually! Well, except the German Chocolate cake in the glass of milk. That gets mixed together. Mmmmmmmm! Good!
