Thursday Thunks

You can play here

1. Would you rather have a pet hippo or a pet elephant?
Do I have to choose? Cause I would say neither. LOL! But I would say a pet elephant if I had to choose. They are SO cute when they are small. I just saw a special on Animal Planet where they were trying to save orphaned baby elephants because people were killing the parents because of their tusks. Isn't that awful?

2. If locked in a cell and music blasted constantly 24/7, what would NOT drive you crazy that might annoy other inmates?
I know this will shock you all but ELVIS music. (sorry Berleen ;) )

3. If you see a penny on the ground, do you stop and pick it up?
I would pick it up if it was on heads. When it falls on heads it is good luck, tails is bad luck. A weird superstition my Mom taught me. LOL

4. Sea salt or table salt?
Table salt for when I have to use it. I don't normally season anything with salt and pepper. Only if it is called for in a recipe.

5. Do you use bar soap or liquid soap?
I use Dial Gold bar soap for the shower and Dial foaming liquid soap for the sink.

6. What/when was the worst travel experience of your life?
When we went to the Poconos and we attempted to stay at one of the themed places where we would have had our own cottage. Well, in the room lying next to the bed on the floor was something "used" from the past guests that really should have been thrown away by them and if not then, should have been detected by housekeeping since it was right there in plain view. Well we got so grossed out that I went to management because if they miss over that, then how well do they really clean the rooms. I just could not stay there. The management offered us a free room in the champagne towers and all I wanted to do was go home. I'll tell you the manager felt horrible that what happened was in front of a travel agent, so he knew I wouldn't be sending anybody there anytime soon. I didn't let on I was a corporate travel agent though.(hehehe) The end of the story was, we drove home the hour and a half it took us to get there and spent some of the money we saved on a delicious dinner and went home and slept in our own bed with a clean floor around us.

7. You are at someone's house for dinner. It's an important dinner such as meeting the In Laws, with the boss or an important client. The food comes out and all homemade. You take the first bite and nearly puke into your plate. You're sure you'll end up with food poisoning. Do you eat it, pretend to eat and spit it into your napkin or some other clever way to get yourself out of eating it?
This has happened to me and I have to say I pretended not to feel well all of a sudden. I basically said I was nauseous. So as people ate the gross dinner, I sat there with ginger ale and saltines.

8. Do you watch any judge/court shows?
I used to watch Judge Wapner years ago. I've watched Judge Judy a couple of times. Other than that, I really don't watch any of those shows.

9. Is your nose pierced?
No
