Another week has flown by…a friend of mine likes to remind me that noticing how quickly time passes is a good sign that you’re getting old! In any case, it’s time for the “Saturday Six!”
Chris was first to play last week, beating Scott by a mere four minutes. The keen observers might notice that both Chris and Scott are in Hawaii. Hmm…
And Kate gets a big welcome for playing for the first time last week!
If you’d like to join the fun, it’s quite simple: to play you can either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal…but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! (And if you’re playing for the first time, please be sure to say so in the comment!) Enjoy!
1. Who is the last house guest you invited into your home and was it a pleasant visit?
2. Other than to work or school, where was the last place you drove?
3. In terms of emergency supplies, how many of the following do you have in your home? A) Candles B) Fresh batteries C) Containers of bottled water
4. You’re invited to a pot-luck dinner: what specialty do you offer to bring? (It has to be something you can cook yourself, not something you bring from a store!)
5. Which of the following do you feel is the most true based on your own life experiences:
A) It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

6. READER’S CHOICE QUESTION #31 from Cherie: We have all watched movies and TV shows that have inspired us to want to do what the characters in the show are doing, (doctors, lawyers, politicians, fire fighters, etc). Has there ever been program that you watched that made you realize that the occupation of the characters was something you could NEVER become?
MY ANSWERS:
1. The last house guests I had were my parents. It was a very pleasant visit…they stayed the weekend. (And they’re coming back this weekend!)
2. My doctor’s office this morning.
3. a) Two candles; b) 2 AA batteries and 1 AAA battery; c) No bottled water. (Does Diet Coke count?!?)
4. Broccoli Casserole if I could get the recipe from mom.
5. I would have to say “C.” Unfortunately, trying to live up to that goal sometimes means you’re taken advantage of…but when you form a friendship with the right person, it’s well worth the risk.
6. One of my favorite shows as a kid was “Emergency,” but I knew that being a paramedic or firefighter was something I’d never want to do. That’s why I have so much respect for them.
1. Who is the last house guest you invited into your home and was it a pleasant visit?
My cousin, a few years ago. She’s a sweetie.
2. Other than to work or school, where was the last place you drove?
My grandparents’ place.
3. In terms of emergency supplies, how many of the following do you have in your home? A) Candles B) Fresh batteries C) Containers of bottled water
I have tens of candles because I like burning them for ambience. I have a few fresh batteries, but I use them for keyboards, mice, etc. I don’t have any bottled water.
4. You’re invited to a pot-luck dinner: what specialty do you offer to bring? (It has to be something you can cook yourself, not something you bring from a store!)
Fried eggs.

Has there ever been program that you watched that made you realize that the occupation of the characters was something you could NEVER become?
Yes, there has. I don’t think I could be a politician. I could lie and make deals, yes, but I would really dislike feeling like I am being dictated to by others, and feeling like I have to answer to the public, the great unobservant public.
