FRIDAY FIVE
(Sorry I’m so late. I’ve been struggling to set up my first DSL connection all day. Of course, I would pick the day they’re down for maintenance most of it. You cannot believe how frustrating it’s been to call Earthlink about 20 different times. Now that it works though it’s making me hyperventilate. How did I ever live without this?!!)
1. Appetizer
Make up a word and give us its definition.
Peacemogrify – Impeach Bush and vote in Jon Stewart as President while sending invitations to a Peace Conference to be held in New York City at the site of the Twin Towers and invite all foreign heads of state.
2. Soup
What is currently your favorite song?
Nuevos Senoritas – by Indigo Girls
3. Salad
What’s at the top of your Christmas wish list this year?
A warm interaction between the various feisty members of my immediate family whom I adore.
4. Main Course
Name a scent that reminds you of someone special in your life.
Emeraude – reminds me of my long-ago ex-mother-in-law who at the time was the epitome of class and who wore it and so it became my lifelong favorite cologne.
5. Dessert
Who is someone on television that you feel probably shouldn’t be, and why?
Anyone on Fox TV.
Deep Thought: “If you’re a young Mafia gangster out on your first date, I bet it’s really embarrassing if someone tries to kill you.”
Today I am grateful for: Not having high blood pressure
Guess the Movie: “Hell of a situation we got here. Two on, two out, your team down a run and you’ve got the chance to be the hero on national television… if you don’t blow it. Saw your wife last night. Great little dancer. That guy she was with? I’m sure he’s a close personal friend, but tell me, what was he doing with her panties on his head?” Answer: Major League, 1989.

Good. Now you can see photos so quickly, not like before. Ditto for me on Number 5. I don’t know anyone on Fox News, except maybe for colmes that I can stomach.
congrats on DSL…good friday five…
Emeraude was my Mom’s favorite cologne for years. The other day I saw it in the store and took a whiff – it is amazing how scents really bring back the memories!
have you noticed a faster connection speed? I hear Earthlink is pretty good. Are you getting a lot of rain over your way. It’s absolutely soaking wet here!
glad you’re out there. I need to recover, though from good stuff (just lots of it), then I can write and comment.
Thanks for checking, bud.
Hooray for you!!!!! 20 years. Wow!
DSL. Yes. How does anyone live without it????
