Thursday Thunks for 4/7

Welcome to the April 7th
(Berleen's Daddy's 76th Birthday)
version of Thursday Thunks!


Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!


We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want. Write about it on your blog... simple as that. Maybe you can interpret it as a picture - we don't care!


Bud must have really wanted to do the meme this week... he emailed me before I even had a chance to remember it was Wednesday! Way to go, Bud! Love ya...
These questions were inspired by the late George Carlin. His quotes are in bold. They were gathered from his routines.

The TT questions are brought to you by:
  • Bud
  • The color KC's eyes **hey that's me KC and my eyes are BLUE!
  • The number 3.

1. Why do they ask you to get on the plane? Shouldn't you get in it? When was your last flight? I think my last flight was to Kansas City, KS via Milwaukee, WI and it was on Midwest who serves up the most delicious chocolate chip cookies!

2. Why do they call two planes getting too close a near miss? Shouldn't it be a near hit? Have you ever been on a plane that was in trouble? First flight I ever took was to go to West Palm Beach, FL via Newark, NJ and it was in winter and the turbulence was horrible not to mention the hours spent de-icing the plane before we even could take off!

3. If a mute swears, does his mother wash his hands with soap? What have you done when your child sweared? I have used a bar of soap and time outs for my dd when she was younger. Sometimes though you just gotta laugh!

4. How about a restaurant for anorexics? What would you call it? The Empty Plate? When was the last time you went out to a fancy restaurant? been awhile!

5. Where do forest rangers go to 'get away from it all'? What to you do to get away from it all? well I suppose that depends on what their "it all" is that they want to "get away from"

6. Why do people who know the least know it the loudest? What do you do to get a know-it-all to shut up? WALK AWAY! (or hang up)

7. If a man speaks in the forest and there is no woman to hear him, is he still wrong? Men: does your woman (or most recent) think that you are always wrong? Women: Do you believe that men are always wrong? Nope just most of them LOL

8. If a turtle loses his shell, is it naked or homeless? Tell us about a time when you were caught naked. I think the turtle is homeless and I feel badly for him! Nope not telling you about any nekkid adventures!

9. Would a fly that loses it wings be called a walk? How badly do flies annoy you? the flies that land on you or bite or buzz my ears are WAY ANNOYING! I like to SMASH them flat with the swatter!

10. Why do they report power outages on TV? When was the last time that you went without power? We haven't been without for a bit but the last time we just lit candles, dh drug in his laptop and portable power source we had cheese & crackers for dinner and watched a movie together...I don't mind no power :)

11. If vegetarians eat vegetables, what do humanitarians eat? Have you ever been or considered to be a vegetarian? NOPE

12. If the cops arrest a mime, do they tell him he has the right to remain silent? Tell us about a time when either you were arrested or came close. Nahhhh I pass :)

13. Why isn't there mouse-flavored cat food? Have you ever owned a cat? I do not own any cats however my dd has 2 cats but I don't think she owns them I think they own her.

Date Night

This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of 20th Century Fox. All opinions are 100% mine.

Is it date night for you this weekend? How about seeing the new Date Night Movie starring Steve Carell & Tina Fey that opens on Friday, April 9th, 2010? The previews and trailers I have seen so far are hilarious! There is something for everyone so you and your date will have plenty to keep you entertained and to talk about afterward. Plus a good bout of laughter is always fun and what date night couldn't use some of that!

Here is a trailer so you can see what I am talking about:



The New York Times says:

In “Date Night,” which opens Friday, a bored suburban couple played by Steve Carell and Tina Fey go on their weekly dinner date and find themselves thrown into a night of intrigue: there’s breaking and entering, a car chase, a shootout and a showdown with an underworld boss at a strip club. Husband and wife come out of the adventure with some scratches and also with their ardor renewed.

(For the full New York Times article please visit: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/04/movies/04date.html?ref=movies)

I'd love to hear what you thought of the movie so after your date night this weekend pop back over and leave me a note!


TTFN,

Karyn

Thursday Thunks for 3/25

This week we will answer some crazy questions brought to you by Berleen, the color of nothing, and the

  number_one .


1. I got nothing. What should I ask next week? Although I think Kimber should do it next week. Somehow.

ummmm I got nothing either – haven’t been here in awhile so I don’t know what you have been asking LOL!
2. Wind chimes - annoying or not?

Not
3. Camping - camper or tent?

I like both but I think I prefer the camper so I know I am waking up warm and dry in the AM :)
4. Told ya I got nothing. This really sucks. I should have had Bud do this, huh?

Sure Bud can ask questions too LOL!
5. What is your favorite letter of the alphabet?

Y
6. So this week my kid had to type a research paper for English.... then she had to email it to her teacher! Is that not just the oddest thing ever? Blew my mind away.

Why did they have to mail it was the assignment on learning how the post office works (or doesn’t sometimes) Why wouldn’t they just hand it in at school? Yeah that is ODD!
7. Wow. These questions suck. They suck bad. Do you like to suck through straws? For what type of beverages?

only at a restaurant and the straw must be in paper still not opened by them – you never know where their hands were…ya know!
8. What do you do with your cell phones when you do those wonderful "upgrades" to the newer, fancier phones?

hmmm so far they are in a drawer LOL!  Getting ready to do the “fancy upgrade” thing today actually – meeting dh there at lunch and dd there before she heads to class tonight.
9. It's allergy season - unless you've completely missed all the people walking around with Kleenexes stuck to their nose... what are you allergic to?

work :D
10. What did you sleep with as a child?

pillow, blankets and a teddy bear!

Wii today!

I am so proud of myself this AM getting up and doing some Wii Fit before getting on the computer an crafting and then before I know it the day is over. I am so sore and feel like I can hardly move the past few weeks that I knew I need to get back to regular exercising. I admit I started off easy today only 20 minutes of yoga and stepping but it was something and I feel achy now but I know it is a good thing as I also am popping and creaking every move I make so the stretching was good for my body! Putting it on my planner for tomorrow AM too I think I will get up instead of hit the snooze button so I can have time before I head off to work for Wii Fit.

hugs,
Karyn
