This Meme Turned Out to Be Fun
Fri., July 10, 04:01 PM
When the well is dry, sometimes it helps to do a meme. This one came from my friend Bev, who does the same thing.
- Why the heck did you come back this week to do this meme?
I like doing memes. They are apt to bring to light things I’ve long forgotten. Furthermore, I like to play with code. - Ever whiten your teeth?
Why, sure! I just take ’em out and drop ’em in some bleach. I would never put that stuff into my mouth. - Do you drive the speed limit?
Yes, I always do now. Years ago I might go faster on an empty highway, but my reflexes aren’t up to that sort of thing any more. Within city limits, I obey the speed signs and rile up the people behind me. - Did the dog eat your homework?
No. I might just say, “no excuse.” Otherwise, I would try to think of something a little closer to the truth. - How many bites does it take to get to the center of a watermelon?
Who do you know who eats any kind of melon from the rind inward? You cut it into slices and start at the center. - Did you eat paint chips as a child?
No, I don’t think I even saw paint chips. My dad always tried to take care of the house, so that the paint would not flake — and my mother would have cleaned them up if there were chips. - If someone rang your doorbell/knocked on your door at 1 a.m., would you answer it?
Not without checking the peephole first. Preferably with my phone in hand and 9-1-1 ready to go. - “Amazingly Smooth” makes you think of what?
Some kind of razor commercial? - What was the last stupid thing someone said to you?
“Why didn’t you put the blanket back on the bed.” I folded it and left it handy for him, but it is July, y’know. - Would you eat a stick of butter for $100?
I love butter. I am glad to eat it. Is there a time limit? Can I spread it on something? - Find the nearest fabric tab, not counting the clothing you are wearing. What does it say the object is made of and where was it made?
It says “100% rayon” and “made in China. ” It also says XL, which explains why it falls off me. - What is the strangest name you've ever heard someone name their child (or a person you met… however you want to answer it)?
Without a doubt — I never heard it anywhere else, although I think it must have been common once. One of my Red Cross volunteers would call and identify herself, “Hi, this is Freelove.” - Why is some toilet paper really soft and others are really hard?
Easy answer: different manufacturing processes and materials. The harder question is why some people prefer one over the other. I see no reason to make oneself miserable. - How many of your friendships have lasted more than ten years?
Strangely enough, a lot of them. After all, I’ve been around a rather long time, and I’m not an unfriendly person. But I have online friends who have been buddies for seven years or more. And some people who began as not-quite friends have turned out to be amazingly supportive. Hold on to your good friends; everyone deserves the benefit of a doubt. At least once. - Which of your current friends do you feel will still be important to you ten years from now?
I would like to think they all would, but this has been a period of losing people… I’m reminded of a blessing someone once quoted: May I live to be a hundred and twenty, and may you be there to mourn me when I die. - It’s Friday evening and you’re planning your weekend. What's on your agenda?
Plans? Agenda? That’ll be the next post. - What was the most recent movie to scare you or give you the creeps?
How many times have I said I don’t like scary movies or scary books? I even had a hard time with one of the Harry Potter books for that reason. If I were mistaken about a movie and it turned out to be scary, I would probably leave. - The new cast and movie of “Star Trek” are out. Excited or indifferent?
Intrigued, perhaps. I could never be indifferent about “Star Trek,” but prequels and remakes are notoriously disappointing. - Do you have any nervous habits?
I am not aware of any. I guess I have forgiving friends. - Do you swear in general?
Not in general so much — more specific. Like, the damn trike is pushed against my car, and I can’t open the door! Which leads to, why can’t we get rid of some of this
@&%*! junk that’s in my garage!
