Monday
Mission

1. How to you get motivated to do something you
really hate to do? Music

2. Have you ever been hypnotized? Do you think it can really be
done or is it a mind trick? no yes

3. Bride Magazine says that the average bill for a
wedding is $22,000. No, I didn't misplace a comma, that is twenty-two
THOUSAND! That sounds insane to me. I'd rather elope and put that
money into a house. Or a honeymoon. If you are married, how
much did your wedding cost? Was it worth it? (the cost of the wedding,
not the marriage, heh) If you aren't, how much do you think should be
spent on a wedding? at least half of that

4. If you are a Realtor, I mean no offense, but these folks strike
me as very sneaky. Many of the houses I've looked at have a sign up in
the yard, but it has been sold for some time. Sure some are under
contract, but why not slap a "SOLD!" sign up there? No, I the Realtor
wants you to call anyway so they can snag you as a lead. Have
you ever looked for or bought a house? Was it fun? What is the most
frustrating part of the process (looking, buying, all areas)? yes. it
was ok. the paperwork

5. Do you have a quiet place where you can go and be alone?
What's it like? Would you share it with someone or is it just yours?
yes yes.

6. Summer is almost over, did you get to take a vacation yet? not
yet. in the fall

7. Do you like playing video games? What game system do you like
the most (any era) or do you prefer board games? yes. Atari / gameboy

The Thursday Thumb-Twiddler

1. Civil wars, blood feuds, religious struggles -- all seem intractable,

Thursday Threesome

Onesome: Sticks and stones- Are you an outdoorsy sort? Would you
prefer to spend all your spare time hiking, biking, swimming, etc? What's your
favorite outdoor activity? not really



Twosome: May break my bones,- Have you ever broken a bone? Or needed
stitches? Or been hurt badly enough you should have gone to the hospital but
didn't? yes 2 broken bones and stitches



Threesome: But words will never harm me- The pen is mightier than the
sword and words do truly have the power to hurt. But sometimes we slip and just
can't help but vent our anger toward that slow moving driver or the jerk who cut
in front of us and took the last of what we needed. What's your favorite insult
to hurl? Do you try to censor yourself when the kiddos are around? yes

5. Do you believe that the collapse of the Twin Towers (and resultant loss of
life) was inevitable or were there mitigating factors, such as: yes to all



a. Having all three escape passageways clustered in the center core of each
building;



b. The interior steel insulation had fallen off so there was no protection
against the effects of superheating due to fire (the steel insulation was in the
process of being replaced). This interior steel was heated to the point where it
became as pliable as licorice;



c. All sprinkler lines were situated in such a manner that they were sheared
when the aircraft wings hit the buildings;



d. The “stand and hold” policy of having handicapped or injured employees wait
in what fire teams considered “safe” rescue areas;



e. Access to the roof was barred and no notice posted that the roof was
inaccessible nor that the NYPD no longer executed rooftop helicopter rescues;



f. Fire and police rescue teams did not work in concert together (such as not
communicating on the same radio frequency);



g. Police and fire Department radios were the same as used in the 1993 terrorist
bombing attack and, in many cases, were defective. Some firefighting teams did
not receive the order to evacuate the buildings;



h. Firefighters, many of whom carried 95-125 lbs of extra equipment had to
trudge up 80 plus floors single file on one side of the narrrow stairwells as
panicked civilians made their way down to the lobby on the other side of the
same stairwell.



i. In several cases, the only available cleared stairwell down to safety was not
or could not be relayed to other trapped victims in the upper floors or rescue
teams attempting to climb up.



j. Port Authority employees in the South Twin Tower told workers it was safe to
go back to their offices;



k. Prior damage inflicted on the buildings during the 1993 terrorist bombing
attack.

the friday five

1. Is the name you have now the same name that's on your birth
certificate? If not, what's changed? yes

 

2. If you could change your name (first, middle and/or last), what would it
be? just my last name to my husbands if I get married



3. Why were you named what you were? (Is there a story behind it? Who
specifically was responsible for naming you?) after both my grandmothers



4. Are there any names you really hate or love? What are they and why? not
really



5. Is the analysis of your name at

kabalarians.com accurate? How or how isn't it?  very sigh: Your
name  makes you easy-going and refined, but detracts from your physical
vitality. You desire all the finer things in life--lovely clothes, home,
furniture, and environment. However, procrastination is your worst enemy, and
you find yourself lacking the ambition to make your dreams a reality. People are
inclined to take advantage of your sympathetic, tractable nature. You naturally
attract people with problems who seek your understanding and advice. You can
give good advice although it is unlikely that you would follow it yourself. You
would be most successful in situations where you can use your skills in
diplomacy in handling people, but where you are not under pressure or required
to carry responsibility and make decisions. It is difficult for you to be
individual and make your own decisions, for you lack self-confidence.
