    k thanks, Where’s this leading too?

    mmm… hmmm…

  • gitz // November 19, 2008 at 12:16 am

    Uhmmm… I feel incredibly incomplete. Shouldn’t it… maybe… tell us something? Like what the answers say about us?

    Or … something?

    [can you tell I like things to serve a purpose?] :)

  • Jeff M. Miller // November 19, 2008 at 12:37 am

    I’ve already got the two left feet thing down.

  • edfromct // November 19, 2008 at 12:47 am

    Was this some kind of test to see how many people will answer dumb questions? Wait don’t answer that. :)

  • Vicki // November 19, 2008 at 2:23 am

    what? what was that all about?

  • Bryan // November 19, 2008 at 5:54 am

    Cell Phone or Internet Access??
    That was a tough one.
    With out my cell, at least I would not be interrupted with tech support calls via my family.
    Just kidding I love to be able to help, especially my family. If you can’t help family, who can you help?
    Right?

    Cool Idea, Mandy!
    That was fun!

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 7:48 am

    muahahahaha. :evil: It’s all a part of my master scheme.

    Just kidding.

    Ed: YES! It actually was!

    I wanted to do a post like this, just for fun. Wanted to have a multiple choice survey embedded, but couldn’t… So I had to come up with a mysterious and enticing way to get y’all involved. So I made that cute button in the hopes that curiosity would win out.

    So far, it’s won over about 25 of y’all.

    Heidi, it’s leading to involvement… You know me, I usually have some mysterious reason for everything. :) I’ll think on it and see if I can come up with some zany application or something.

    The results will come for sure - probably tomorrow morning. How’s that for follow-through, Gitz??

    Kristie: I’m glad you just went with it. ;)

  • @ngie // November 19, 2008 at 7:50 am

    the toughest question was the peanut-butter marshmallow one

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 8:03 am

    That was also the hardest one to make up. whew

    OK! So. I changed the little exit message to say something like:

    “YOU PASSED! You’re awesome for hitting that button. Results will come tomorrow morning.”

    How’s that? Better? :)

  • kristiapplesauce // November 19, 2008 at 8:51 am

    Your moms a rock star.

  • Joy Renée // November 19, 2008 at 9:12 am

    umm….so, question numero 4…
    figuratively?
    or, like….literally?
    cuz that seriously affects my answer.

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 9:17 am

    JR: Well… Um… I don’t know how to answer your question about my question.
    Let’s go with literally. Yeah. Ok. Literally. That sounds good. That’s my final answer.

  • Joy Renée // November 19, 2008 at 9:27 am

    well there ya go.
    two left feet it is.

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 9:30 am

    Whew. Ok. Good. Because that was stressing me out. :)

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 9:31 am

    And I’m still not sure why that would make some empirical difference in your answer.

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 9:32 am

    Nor am I sure what “empirical” means or if I used it properly.

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 9:36 am

    This has suddenly turned into a one-woman chat room. Who knows why!

    :)
    Ok. I’m going to Starbucks. Will check back later.

  • Heidi // November 19, 2008 at 10:01 am

    Buy me a pumpkin spice would ya?? I got a big beautiful beach waiting. Ha!!!

  • Joy Renée // November 19, 2008 at 10:02 am

    i have no idea if you used it properly, either butcha sure sounded smart.

    and…honestly….i don’t know why it made a difference, either, but somehow i just felt morally obligated to know whether or not i would have “two left feet” and be cursed with perpetual clumsiness and inability to get jiggy wit it….or if i would just have two left feet. because special shoes could get expensive.

  • Becky // November 19, 2008 at 10:37 am

    Would You Rather is my favorite car game. It’s very entertaining!

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 12:12 pm

    H: That “Ha!” at the end? Totally unnecessary! Totally…

    JR: Well… I do what I can to make a difference. :)

    Becky: OH FUN! YAY for entertainment.

  • Heidi // November 19, 2008 at 12:29 pm

    HA!! Ha!

    It’s seriously in the 80’s today, totally beautiful. I’m sorry…

    But ya know something? I pay out of my NOSE for this weather.

    I so wish to wear a scarf and fluffy mittens again, oh and UG boots. I would love to feel the crispness in the air and the smell of wood burning stoves. It’s a week away from turkey day and I’m not even in the mood. I am still in flipflops and clogs and shorts!!!

    Love you girl!!! so jealous of your Fall!!!

    Ha!!

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 1:25 pm

    H: I think I’d rather do flipflops year round than scarves… PS: I’ve got a few more “childhood” posts coming, since you mentioned a while back that I haven’t written much from that time in my life.

  • ramsey72 // November 19, 2008 at 1:25 pm

    That was fun…..can’t wait to see what you have up your sleeve with this one!

  • L // November 19, 2008 at 1:49 pm

    I’d also say ‘cell or net’ was the hard question.

    Button-links are scary. You never know WHERE you’re going to end up.

  • mandythompson // November 19, 2008 at 1:53 pm

    L: I’m just impressed that so many of you were crazy enough to push the button! :)

    As for the internet/cell thing… More coming on that in a few seconds. yeah. That was an interesting little question.

  • Heidi // November 19, 2008 at 2:09 pm

    I’ll be waiting with my cup of tea…

  • danielle // November 19, 2008 at 11:31 pm

    good questions.

  • Louise // November 20, 2008 at 4:10 am

    M0bile or net was easy. Who needs a mobile when you have the wwW, Facebook and Twit Ter?! The real corkers…peanut butter or marshmellow…YIKES! (What did you choose, @ngie?) and summer v winter. How on earth do I make a choice. That one took me 10 minutes all by itself.
