Yep…I know…I suck as a friends sometimes. Do you believe in spanking your children?

by Harriet on March 13, 2010

I have received quite a few blog awards over the past few weeks..okay maybe months. People usually leave me a note on a comment telling me and I forget to tag it so that I can remember to do something about. Let’s just say that I suck as an award buddy. Hey, we all have our downfalls…

Thank you Tami

Hearts Make Families

and congrats on hitting the big 1000!

and

from my new Bloggy Bud (cool huh?)

Several people sent me this one

I’m not going to pass these on to anyone specific because I love everyone.
Thanks so much friends.

CUTE ALERT!

In this photo released by Taronga Zoo, an un-named baby elephant ...

I warned ya…

I just wanna cuddle this fella and share my peanuts with him.
Taronga Zoo in Sydney is the home to this baby elephant. He was born on Wednesday. The story is that this calf   was believed to have died during a nine-day labor is feeding himself and has earned the nickname ‘Mr. Shuffles’ .

Sunday Stealing

From “Bud” ;    Finding memes every Sunday is a challenge. We automatically eliminate a meme that originated on another meme site. We hate yes/no memes. But we recognize that the way we do this accounts for it being the most played meme in the blogosphere. Today we found two memes that we liked but were both rather short. So we simple merged them. The first eight questions were
ripped from a blogger namedIan from the blog Team Ian 4ever. He does not say where he ripped this off. Questions 9 through 20 were stolen fromTerence from the blog Long Ago and Not True Anyway. He states that he grabbed it from George. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft’s thieves might take some time.

Sunday Stealing: Judd’s Merged Meme


1. What were doing 10 years ago?

Here is a stretch- I was a mom! EGAD!

2. Five snacks that you enjoy in a perfect, non weight-gaining world

Nachos
Popcorn
Chocolate
Peanuts in the shell to share with the cutie pie above
Margaritas- it’s been too long 12/31/09

3. Five things you would do if you were a billionaire:

Consume everything in the answer above and then go to a fat farm to get rid of it and then plastic surgeon for nips/tucks etc. Then I’d repeat the first 2.

4. Three of your habits:

Flippin’ meme addiction, waking up early, chewing gum.

5. Five jobs that you’ve have had:

I’ve have had jobs as a Mom, nurse, graphic/web designer, retail stuff, and school volunteer

6. Five places that you’ve lived:

With mom and dad in a house, in a house in college, apt with hubby before we got married, condo with hubby after we got married, current house.

7. Five things that you did yesterday:

Saturday 9, some consulting work, some spring cleaning closet junk, ate some ice cream, walked my dogs. (can you say BORING?)

8. Five people you would want to get to know more about:Here are 4

Here is #5

(shameless plug)

9. Abortion: for or against it?

Is this really an appropriate question for a meme?

10. Do you think the world would fail with a female president?
Depends on who it is

11. Do you believe in the death penalty?

Depends on how much the meme sucks.

12. Do you wish marijuana would be legalized already?

I’ve wondered how many problems we would solve if it were legal and taxed like crazy.
Personally, I don’t smoke anything. Heck, I haven’t had a margarita since New Years.

13. Are you for or against premarital sex?

UM….I tell my kids and their friends… keep your legs together and your pants zippered.
It’s really about the consequences.

14. Do you think same sex marriage should be legalized?

Isn’t this a bit political for a Sunday meme?
I think we have bigger crud to worry about and spaz over than this issue.

15. Do you think it’s wrong that so many Hispanics are illegally moving to the USA?

You’re asking someone in margarita withdrawal here.
Let’s just say that there have been naysayers throughout history every time a group of people have come to the land of “give me your tired, your hungry…”

16. Should the alcohol age be lowered to eighteen?

I live in a college town. We have enough problems.

17. Should the war in Iraq be called off?
Wait I thought it ended…..

.

President George W. Bush addresses sailors during the “Mission Accomplished” speech, May 1, 2003.

18. Assisted suicide is illegal: do you agree?
As a nurse, I can tell you that there are people in pain dieing from cancer who could answer this better than I can. I’m not in their shoes.

19. Do you believe in spanking your children?

I NEVER SPANKED MY CHILDREN!!! In my opinion, spanking is an easy way out of parenting that shows kids that violence can be an answer. Thank goodness I never spanked because my son is now 6 feet tall :) . However, there have been times that I’ve been at a store or restaurant and I have seen a kid who has made me think twice about my theory. Maybe the parents should be spanked……

20. Do you worry that others will judge you from reading some of your answers?
Now you ask….

Are margaritas really that bad for you? I should think if you’re being responsible about it, things would be ok. Like having one when you go out for dinner. That’s usually what I do. I haven’t had any alcohol in a long time, but that’s just because I’m not into drinking much. *shrug* Just curious. ^_^

As always, I love your answers.

For the record, I hated spanking my kids. I only ever did it as a sort of ‘capital punishment’. But now that I’m older and wiser (and the fact that they turned out ok in spite of my best efforts)… spanking is a result of letting your anger get in the way of parenting.

I’ve also got tons of blogging awards I need to acknowledge; Mr Shuffles is indeed cute; As for Sunday Stealing, I really liked your death penalty answer.

Mr. Shuffles is so terribly cute! If you make a margarita out of fresh limes, spring water and organic sugar, don’t you think it’s somewhat of a vitamin tonic? (That’s what I keep telling myself…)
