Monday Mission

1. The most hateful comments I've ever had are from

the post I made taking a stand against Cock Fighting. How do you
respond to hateful mail and comments? I delete them

2. I often think twice about taking a stand on things,
because I get this nagging fear I will loose some of my readers or become a
target of those who disagree. But I usually ignore it and post on it anyway.
What sort of topics have you taken a stand on in your writings? Did it
get the reaction you expected? What subjects have you avoided? Why? I really
don't take a stand. I avoid a lot of subjects

3. I read a post over at

SnarkyB****.com where the author describes "The
Top 10 Reasons I Won't Read Your Blog." While I try not to commit these
sins, there are things I do that cause folks to drop me from their Blogrolls.
What would you add to the list of "Reasons You Won't Read a Blog?" What
are some of the reasons that you stopped reading someone's Blog? Do you tell
them you've stopped reading? Wouldn't you like to know why someone quit reading
yours? Or do you care? same. I don't tell them but I would like to know why they
quit reading mine

4. Do you like to tweak and tinker with your website and blog? Or
would you rather have a simple solution so you can concentrate on other things?
yes

5. Would you take a ride into outer space if given the chance? yes

6. Are there any songs, that when you hear them, make you just want
to get up and start dancing? MMMbop

7. Speaking of music, I read a humor article recently where
the author said he can't stand it when people give him "Mix CDs." (In case you
don't know, Mix CDs are audio CD compilations that folks make of music on their
PCs and give to you for your listening pleasure) He said it reminded him too
much of teenagers who made love song "mix tapes" in High School. Have
you ever made a "Mix" CD or tape for someone special? What was on it? Did they
like it? Are you sure? Has someone made a"mix" just for you? Did you like it?
Which one comes to mind? What made it so
memorable? What songs were on it? no unfortunately but I make my own from cds
that i own that I only like 2 or three songs from

BONUS: Where does my hope come from?

Today's Comment Question: Your favorite snack food is....? popcorn
