Sunday Stealing: The Clown's Meme Parts 1 & 2

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing: originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser:

"Here we will steal all types of memes 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 of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!"


Today we ripped this meme off blogger named Boppo from the blog Boppo the Clown's Journal. She states that she grabbed it at Drgncrystlwkr. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. It is a long meme, so we will do it in parts. Today is Part Two. If you missed last week, do them together today!* Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all of us thieves!

*I happened to be one of those who missed last week, so I will do both parts. I will keep my answers short, so as not to bore you to death [I hope]..... Enjoy ~

27. Do you have a laptop or desktop computer? Two of each, hubby uses his new desktop and I use my new laptop. The old laptop doesn't get used at all - my desktop gets used some, but it hurts my back and neck to sit at my desk, so it's easier to use my laptop for now.

46. Do you like Chinese food? I LOVE it, hubby doesn't, so I really don't get to eat it often enough.

47. Do you like coffee? LOVE it, but I have to watch how much I drink... or I get a wicked migraine, but if I DON'T drink it in the morning, I get a migraine, too... It's a real balance - I'm a complicated woman!!

48. How many glasses of water, a day, do you drink on average? Probably six or 7, it's almost all I drink besides the OJ and coffee in the morning. [I've been having hot tea with honey lately because I'm sick, but still drinking lots of water.] Hubby hardly drinks any - he says the only way to drink water is if it has barley and hops in it!

49. What do you drink in the morning? OJ and coffee... I feel like I'm repeating myself... Am I boring anyone? Sorry!

50. What non-banking related card in your wallet is the most valuable to you? My health insurance card - such a pity!

53. Do you like to cuddle? Most definitely

54. Have you ever been to Canada? Yes, when I was a kid, it was in the summer and it was beautiful - we went to Niagara Falls and to a really pretty flower garden. I don't think I want to go there again, it's too cold for me now.

55. Do you have an addictive personality? Yes

56. Do you eat out or at home more often? We used to go out every weekend when we were both working, but now that we live on Social Security we eat at home almost all the time. We just don't have the money to go out like we would love to do. I like to cook, it is just difficult for me because of my disability. OH, well, life goes on, and I have THE MOST supportive hubby in the entire world!

57. What do you miss about high school, if anything? My figure!! I'll never see a size 4 again.

59. Do you want kids? Been there, done that and they are wonderful!!

60. Do you speak any other languages? I can spell in American Sign Language and I know a few signs... I really want to learn more, but that is all. Unless you consider "mommy-talk" a language. ["Don't make me pull this car over and come back there!"]

61. Have you ever gotten stitches? Oh yeah... and the scars to prove it.

62. Have you ever ridden in an ambulance? Yep... not as exciting as one might think. It's kind-of scary because you have NO control.
63. Do you prefer an ocean or a pool? I like both, but I don't like the beach. If you take me out to the ocean water on a boat I'm good, just don't like the sand in all those places it doesn't belong... you know what I mean?

64. Do you prefer a window seat or an aisle seat? On a plane: aisle - I don't like seeing down; In a car or bus: window, or I can get carsick; never been on a train but I'd love to ride on one.


65. Do you know how to drive stick? I know how, but I hardly drive anywhere anymore. I get chauffeured around anywhere I want to go... I am, after all a kept woman!

66. What is your favorite thing to spend money on? Clothes... for me or for Nano.
