Monday Mission

1. It is a lovely 21 degrees here in Oklahoma, and since
walking in from the parking lot, I can't seem to warm up. I've got the coffee to
my right and the space heater to the left and the non-functional central heat
blowing above me. What do you do to get warm when you are very cold? Hot
chocolate and turn the furnace up. also get a blanket.

2. What is the first thing you do in the morning after you get up?
visit the rest room

3. I mentioned earlier in the week that Sub Hunt was one of
the first arcade games I ever remember playing. Many years later I would become
equally entranced by the Atatri 2600 (ugh, I am showing my age now, aren't I?).
Do you remember the very first video game you ever played (arcade,
handheld, console, etc.)? What do you remember about that experience? oregon
trail on the old trash 80's

4. Do you have a good memory or do you find that you need to write
things down to remember them? write them down

5. I am currently really getting a kick out of the Citibank
Citicard commercials about Identity theft, to the point of quoting them out loud
(which no one gets, I really need new some geeky-er friends). What are
some of your all-time favorite television commercials? the hershey's kiss ad for
christmas

6. Since Thanksgiving is this week, I felt like I just had
to throw in the obligatory food question, so here goes. Do you have a
favorite Thanksgiving food that is made by one person, and no one makes it
better? If not, then what is your favorite food to eat at Thanksgiving?
(Those who don't celebrate Thanksgiving feel free to insert your favorite fall
food) I love it all! Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls,
and pumpkin pie made by the loving hands of my parents with a little help from
myself

7. Wireless telephone companies will now let you move your
cell number to another carrier, or move your land line number to your cell. Not
only is this incredibly convenient, it forces cell phone companies to be more
competitive. Are you planning to switch cell phone companies as a result
of this new law, or possibly pit two companies against each other for a better
deal? no
