ww – two men – 4.16.08
If you came for intelligent conversation, feel free to scroll down and continue the discussions about net-honesty and net-relationships below. these are ongoing and rather interesting… VERY interesting, actually.
Anyway, i have two weeks of questions to catch up on, and they both come from the gentlemanly side of our little blogging community. easy:
And, last week we ended with a rather interesting comment/question from TheNor: In answering Tam’s question (what did he want to know about mandy): What denomination, if any, her church is. And how long she has been a Christian. (Guess that’s two, but please don’t tell Mandy! Maybe we can sneak it by her!) Then, he leaves the last question of the day: Have we moved into Wacky Thursday? so, to be fair, i’ll answer two of those questions: i’ve been a Christian since middle school – so that’d be for about 17+ years, but i haven’t always acted like it. And, Wacky Thursday? NO WAY!!! i can’t handle more than one crazy blog day over here! 
alright, starter question: who do you think will be our next president (i’m NOT asking who you’re voting for – just who will win)?
Well, in the last election for the town council, we had to choose six candidates, but I only liked five. So for a write in, I voted for my dog.
And if my dog could travel the country, everybody would vote for him but I still think he will win.
Now then, assuming I remember how to play this Wacky Wednesday stuff…It’s been a whole week, remember!…
…What is the name of the first pet you ever had?
Roscoe…A puppy that I got for Christmas when I was 6 or 7. Red bow around his neck…the box was jumping when they put it in front of me. My g-ma got him from an ad in the paper. The ad said he was a “peek-a-poo.” I don’t know what that is, but it sounds like it’s only supposed to be 5 pounds. Roscoe grew to be about 45 pounds.
Q: What is your current pet’s name?
A: Kasey – Loved him! I got him when I was 3 for a birthday present!
Q: Cats or Dogs? Why?
OH wait I answered WRONG! Shoot me, ban me whatever! That was my first pets name. Blame the pregnancy for not being able to read!
A: Zoe — Love her. Yorkshire Terrier 3 pounds!
Q: Cat or Dogs? Why?
(heather, you’re fired!) j/k
A: neither. i LOVE cats, but drew is allergic. and dogs, well… i don’t want to pick up their crap. seriously.
Q: beach or mountains? why???
A: Cats. (female cats). You don’t need to take them out, they don’t sniff your crotch, and they don’t lick any exposed part of you.
They’re soft and lovely, and can be full of charisma, given the right kitten. My cat is full of quirky character…and I love her a whole lot.
Q: If you were an adequate musician and got the chance to play with any band, who would it be, and would you record with them, or play live?
Mountains! They’re beautiful, and you can typically always climb them. They look beautiful in summer and winter.
(Mandy I realized that my comment was to the Nor and came in at the same time as the other. So I wasn’t as pregnant brained as I though
A: I’d love to play with Third Day! I’ve loved those guys before anyone ever knew who they were and love the heart they have for Jesus. Amiee (mac’s wife) and I taught at the same school when I was in college – rather I was an after school teacher with her and I enjoyed getting to know her and Mac and the heart the whole gang has for reaching others with the Gospel!
Q: What’s your favorite holiday? Why?
(heather – ok. you’re re-hired… but on a probationary level!)
Q: what’s your favorite holiday, why?
All this talk about pets is killing me! My 14 year old dog died a few days ago.
A: I don’t know that I have one. The Christmas season is “the most wonderful time of year”, what with all the music and the attitude of giving… etc. But, Halloween is a fun one b/c of all the candy and costumes! Seriously, though, I’d have to say my favorite is Columbus Day.
j/k

Q: See my question above.
A:
I don’t know, but in third grade the guy I had a crush on passed me a note and said he had a very important question to ask me. I just knew the big “will you be my girlfriend?” question was coming…. but when he passed the note back again… it said: “If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, how many pickled peppers did Peter Piper pick?”
Yeah. Not long after I got the “check yes or no.”

someone wants a smackdown
someone’s arms aren’t long enough to reach to the other coast and smack me!!!!!
so. i called my mom this morning to catch up.
she said she’s been reading my blog (i think she catches up about twice or thrice a month)… she LOVED the y’all video stuff. and i think she watched yours, too. called you a “young lady”. knew you had two kids. asked if you were a Christian woman. i told her you were, but you were crazy & the kind of minister’s wife (like my aunt) that i’m surprised the church will let in the door!
so, there, smack me! he he he!!!!
(i hate when i miss out on these)
