<p>Saturday 9: Somebody That I Used to Know</p>
<p><strong>1. How do you feel when you realize that an impasse will cause a relationship (any type) to end?</strong><br />
Huh?</p>
<p><strong>2. You’re planning a trip that would be an eight-hour car ride, a four-hour train ride, or a two-hour plane ride. With money and time being no object, which would you most likely choose and why?</strong></p>
<p>Car because from here, an 8 hour car ride is probably equal to a 10 hour plane ride. Plus, I&#8217;d bring my dogs.</p>
<p><strong>3. What is your ideal past time on a lazy summers day?</strong><br />
Fall asleep in my pool. Halleluiah </p>
<p><strong>4. Name a CD you own that no one else on your friends list does.</strong><br />
What friends list? I&#8217;m like old. I don&#8217;t think I have a &#8216;friends list&#8217; and if I did, I would never even care or notice what CD&#8217;s my &#8216;friends&#8217; have. </p>
<p><strong>5. What&#8217;s a wish of yours?</strong><br />
Rid the midsection.</p>
<p><strong>6. What is something your going to do a lot of this week?</strong><br />
This week is just ended. Next week I&#8217;m gonna do a lot of &#8230;wondering what I&#8217;m gonna do a lot of probably.</p>
<p><strong>7. Is there someone you wish would just fall off the face of this earth?</strong></p>
<p>heeheeeheeheee&#8230;. since the Queen of Alaska has pretty much done that, how about if we just strap someone to the top of a car and let nature take it&#8217;s course. Then we can tell everyone that he loved it .. Totally  </p>
<p><strong>8. What did you do last night?</strong><br />
Slept. I go to bed early.</p>
<p><strong>9. Where is the next place you&#8217;d like to go vacation?</strong><br />
I&#8217;m going to Rhode Island on business in a few weeks. Does that count? I&#8217;ll be alone in a hotel room sleeping in the center of the bed and not worrying about the bathroom or laundry. sounds like a vaca to me.</p>

<p>More about Facebook addiction&#8230;.</p>
<p>We all know someone (or maybe are someone?) who spends what we would define as &#8216;way too much time&#8217; on facebook. </p>
<p><a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/47371297?__source=otbrn|fbext|&#038;par=otbrn" target="_blank">Researchers call </a>it an addiction and say that now there is a test to see if you are one of the addicted.</p>
<p>The test, called the Bergen Facebook Addiction Scale, is based on six basic criteria, where all items are scored on the following scale: (1) Very rarely (2) Rarely (3) Sometimes (4) Often and (5) Very often. The signs are:</p>
<p>• You spend a lot of time thinking about Facebook or plan use of Facebook.</p>
<p>• You feel an urge to use Facebook more and more.</p>
<p>• You use Facebook to forget about personal problems.</p>
<p>• You have tried to cut down on the use of Facebook without success.</p>
<p>• You become restless or troubled if you are prohibited from using Facebook.</p>
<p>• You use Facebook so much that it has had a negative impact on your job/studies.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.cnbc.com/id/47371297?__source=otbrn|fbext|&#038;par=otbrn" target="_blank">You can read more about the addiction research here.</a></p>
<h3> Aloha friends, taking the addiction scale &#8216;test&#8217;, how do you rate?</h3>
<p>Me, Facebook is so 5 years ago for me.<br />
I&#8217;m rarely on there other than to promote something. I don&#8217;t understand people who think the whole world is on Facebook and thus, will only communicate with you via Facebook. What a pain. I never check those messages. I just value my time too much to potty it away on Facebook. Luckily, there are a lot of ways to not have to be on Facebook to promote stuff.</p>
<p>&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;.</p>

<h3>How it Works</h3>
<p>• On the linky below, enter your name and what you are linking to. For example, Posh-GFC, Mel-Twitter</p>
<p>• If you have more than one page to link to, go ahead and post them all separately.</p>
<p>• Linking to a giveaway post specifically is viewed as spam, and as such, will be deleted just as spam will.</p>
<p>• Under 100 GFC Followers? Under 200 Twitter? Under 200 Facebook Page likes? Under 50 in your circle? Please add &#8220;low&#8221; next to your name so we know to help you out!</p>
<p>• YES, you can link to your hop. You may want to add &#8220;linky&#8221; next to it.</p>
<p>• Make a goal to visit 5 others, like/friend them, and then leave a comment telling them hello.</p>
<p>•  Thursday Comment Club has been merged to Friday and Tuesday Friend and Follow. Feel free to list &#8220;comment&#8221; on your entry (as long as it is NOT for a giveaway of course)</p>
<p>***TIP: Blogger Users- The changes to the blogger word verification has made it difficult for others to post comments. Turn off  your word verification and you&#8217;ll most likely get more comments! ***</p>
<p>Thanks for joining us!</p></blockquote>
<p><strong>Have fun!</strong> </p>

<p><strong>Would you buy a share of Facebook?</strong><br />
I&#8217;m gonna say no.<br />
Facebook shares go on sale this Friday. They say that anyone, like us for example, can buy some. <a href="http://money.cnn.com/2012/05/14/technology/facebook-ipo-one-share/index.htm?source=cnn_bin" target="_blank">Here is how to do it.</a> I would buy some if I thought Facebook had the potential to grow even bigger. However, I have to wonder, just how much bigger can Facebook actually get? Adding to that, how much bigger can they get without ticking off even more people enough to kill the whole thing? Every time they get bigger, they do something to tick us off&#8230;.privacy issue&#8230;.time lines&#8230;</p>
<p>Aubry got the axe? Whoaaa&#8230;&#8230; I always thought it would come down to her and Lisa. I never would have thought the two nice guys would be the lone survivors.  I&#8217;m talking about the Celebrity Apprentice if you are a non-viewer. This is actually the one network TV show that I&#8217;ll watch.</p>
<p>enough of the random&#8230;..</p>
<h3>Tuesday Friend and Follow</h3>
<p><a href="http://poshonabudget.com/ "><img class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-14679" title="friend" src="http://poshonabudget.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/friend-150x150.jpg" alt="friendandfollow" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>

<h3>How it Works</h3>
<p>• On the linky below, enter your name and what you are linking to. For example, Posh-GFC, Mel-Twitter, Mel-Comments, Posh-Alexa.</p>
<p>• If you have more than one page to link to, go ahead and post them all separately.</p>
<p>• Linking to a giveaway post specifically is viewed as spam, and as such, will be deleted just as spam will.<br />
• Under 100 GFC Followers? Under 200 Twitter? Under 200 Facebook Page likes? Under 50 in your circle? Please add &#8220;low&#8221; next to your name so we know to help you out!</p>
<p>• YES, you can link to your hop. You may want to add &#8220;linky&#8221; next to it.</p>
<p>• Make a goal to visit 5 others, like/friend them, and then leave a comment telling them hello.</p>

<p>Today we ripped off a blogger named Pookie 808 called Pookie808. We will do it in two parts. Where she got it, we have no idea. But this is someone who could not come up a separate screen name and a blog name. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft&#8217;s thieves might take some time. Take the time to comment on other player&#8217;s posts. It&#8217;s a great way to make new friends!

<p>Sunday Stealing: The Get Out of Jail Free Meme, Part Two</p>
<p><strong>21. Has there ever been anyone that now you regret meeting?</strong><br />
A few people but, I can just move on.</p>
<p><strong>22. What&#8217;s the last film you saw? Would you recommend it?</strong><br />
The Rear Window has been on cable a lot lately. I have seen it like a bajillion times so, yes I would recommend it.</p>
<p><strong>23. Would you rather have roommates or live alone? </strong><br />
I&#8217;m not sure if pets fall into the roommate side of the live alone side of this question. So, if I could live alone with my dogs that would be my answer.</p>
<p><strong>24. Do you like any of your friends a little more than just a friend?</strong> Then they would not be my friend. I don&#8217;t need any more energy soakers/dramanastics in my life.</p>
<p><strong>25. We loved the results yesterday on Saturday 9. Post a rather current song that you&#8217;d like us to hear.</strong><br />
I really don&#8217;t do &#8216;current&#8217;. I&#8217;m old. I&#8217;ll stick to the classics. This doesn&#8217;t smell like a stolen question.</p>
<p><strong>27. If you found out that you were going to be a parent, what would you do? If you are one, tell us what the best parent of being a parent is.</strong> I&#8217;d name the kid Jesus cause it would be immaculate&#8230;.</p>
<p>Best part beyond diaper changing, sick kids, having to discipline, paying for college when they&#8217;re on the six year plan, breaking up fights, the broken furniture, the thought of never getting to be a grand parent, cleaning up the messes&#8230;wait it&#8217;s mother&#8217;s day. Ignore all that.</p>
<p><strong>28. Do you give money to homeless people when they ask? </strong><br />
No- I&#8217;m an ex-psych/rehab nurse. I know better.</p>
<p><strong>29. A weekend in Las Vegas or Miami? Why?</strong><br />
Vegas. Done the Miami thing.</p>
<p><strong>30. What was your reaction to the president supporting gay marriage? </strong><br />
 Let&#8217;s just say&#8230;it&#8217;s not the number one thing that I worry about. To make a long response short, there&#8217;s a lot of people who need to tend to their glass houses&#8230;.</p>
<p><strong>31. You are totally alone on a Saturday. What do you do?</strong><br />
Honey, I&#8217;ll always have Jose and Baja Bob on a Saturday. No worries here.</p>
<p><strong>32. You have 3 months left to live, what is your bucket list? </strong><br />
Get rid of the damn couches in my family room, possibly blow up a few things (heeeheeehee), and stuff my fat face. Oh, and rack up some major bills.</p>
<p><strong>33. You&#8217;re having a bad day, what one thing can make your day better?</strong><br />
Remember this? 3. What do you do when you’re sad?<br />
Move on or find some chocolate.</p>
<p><strong>34. Ever use a tanning bed? </strong><br />
No. Before all of the tanning crud hit the fan, we use to use sunlamps. I&#8217;ve heard too many creepy things about those beds as well.</p>
<p><strong>35. Is there anything you would change about your body if you could? </strong> It&#8217;s too late. Well, maybe get a few inches taller. </p>
<p><strong>36. You wake up in an unfamiliar place, what is your first reaction? </strong> Find the nearest bathroom.</p>
<p><strong>37. Is there anything that you should be doing right now? </strong><br />
Like checking the laundry? nah.</p>
<p><strong>38. At what age do you think that sex becomes less important? Why?</strong> Less important than what? Shopping? Eating? </p>
<p><strong>39. What is your favorite breakfast food?</strong><br />
Coke Zero</p>
<p><strong>40. Your phone rings at 4am, who do you expect it to be?</strong><br />
One of those out of area db&#8217;s asking for my political opinion. They&#8217;re the only ones who call the house phone these days. Now that everyone who is gonna pass has passed, those middle of the night phone calls don&#8217;t phase me as much.</p>

<h3>The latest controversy it seems is this Time magazine cover.</h3>
<p><a href="http://harrietandfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/timeay12.gif"><img src="http://harrietandfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/timeay12.gif" alt="" title="time,ay12" width="321" height="419" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-5776" /></a></p>
<p>Mom is 26 son is 3 1/2<br />
Mom says that she was breast fed until she was 6 years old.</p>
<p>The article related to the picture focuses on the 20th anniversary of a book about &#8220;attachment parenting&#8221;. The theory is that the more time you can spend as close as possible with your kids, the better. Having a strong attachment with parents, according to researchers, can make a more settled adult. </p>
<p>I&#8217;m all for breast feeding and I&#8217;m all for spending time with my children&#8230;while they were growing up. I breast fed until they gave it up (1 &#038; 2 years) and I gave up my career to spend time with them at home. I love my children but, they are now adults and feel absolutely no pressure to move out. I&#8217;m not complaining- it&#8217;s affordable and it&#8217;s giving them a chance. I&#8217;m just wondering if I had breast fed until they turned 6, would they even leave the house as adults (get a job&#8230;.go to college&#8230;)? Don&#8217;t know.  </p>
<h3>Aloha and other friends- can there be too much &#8220;attachment parenting&#8221;?</h3>

<p>Last week was kind of not the best for me. While it wasn&#8217;t one specific big thing gone wrong, it was a combination of a bunch of small things.</p>
<p> Amazon sent me 2 of the wrong dog leashes (grrrrrrr&#8230;), the girl at Walmart failed to give me my entire order (not something you notice until you go looking for something when you are unpacking, and a few other &#8216;why am I getting crapped on things&#8217; things happened. </p>
<p>The cherry on the sundae, of course, was getting the letter on Friday to be called in for jury duty. I didn&#8217;t even have to open the darn thing to know that it would be for the same dates that I just booked a business-related flight for over $800 (yes, I would probably be able to get reimbursed&#8230;I hope). So, now I have to call over there to to see if I can get dragged in some other wonderful time this summer to fulfill my civic duty. I did send those leashes back.</p>
<p>Do you get emails or comments from people that obviously have not fully thought through what the purpose is of their email/comment? Who has time to answer those things? Do people have nothing better to do besides prove to the world how unsmart they can be? </p>
<p>And in more good news&#8230;<br />
a report in the <a href="http://thechart.blogs.cnn.com/2012/05/07/42-of-nation-to-be-obese-by-2030-study-predicts/?hpt=hp_t1" target="_blank">American Journal of Preventive Medicine</a> says by 2030 42% of us will be considered obese. Is it time to play big brother and police people or should we just redefine obese so that only 5% of use fit the definition?  </p>

<p><strong>1. When you&#8217;re home alone, do you still close the door when you use the restroom?</strong><br />
It&#8217;s hard to do when there is a large canine stuck to my butt wherever I go in my house.</p>
<p><strong>2. If you have to go grocery shopping, would you rather go alone or with someone? </strong><br />
Depends if the &#8216;someone&#8217; is hubby with moolah or a freeloader.</p>
<p><strong>3. It&#8217;s your best friends birthday, would you buy them a gift even though they didn&#8217;t buy you one for yours </strong><br />

<p><strong>5. Do you like your music loud or at a reasonable level? </strong><br />
Depends if it&#8217;s Zeppelin &#038; Floyd or that crap for music my daughter listens to.</p>

<p><strong>8. Can you watch scary movies alone?</strong><br />
suppose so</p>
<p><strong>9. Soft bed or firm? And in fantasy land, who&#8217;s in it with you?</strong><br />
Fantasy land= me in the middle of the bed alone. But, that&#8217;ll never happen.</p>
<p><strong>10. Would you rather stay home all day, or be out and about?</strong><br />
Hope is usually affordable.</p>
<p><strong>11. What&#8217;s one of your worst memories (that you are comfortable sharing)?</strong> Throwing dirt on my parent&#8217;s caskets.</p>
<p><strong>12. Do you like to keep the peace or be confrontational?</strong> Peace baby</p>

<p>20. Editor&#8217;s note. There is no question 20. It is sort of like getting a &#8220;Get out of Jail Free&#8221; card. We will do 21 to 40 next time. Peace &#038; love! Derp.</p>

<p>I&#8217;m always using more than one browser at a time for various reasons. My favorite browser is Chrome. I also like to use Firefox. Both have their pluses and minuses.</p>
<p>This is pretty interesting.</p>

<p>The w3 Schools say this:</p>

<p>While Chrome is pretty young, look what it&#8217;s done to Internet Explorer (which may be somewhat responsible for it&#8217;s own implosion as well).</p>
<h3> Aloha friends, what browser are you favoring at the moment?</h3>

<h3>How it Works</h3>
<p>• On the linky below, enter your name and what you are linking to. For example, Posh-GFC, Mel-Twitter</p>
<p>• If you have more than one page to link to, go ahead and post them all separately.</p>
<p>• Linking to a giveaway post specifically is viewed as spam, and as such, will be deleted just as spam will.</p>
<p>• Under 100 GFC Followers? Under 200 Twitter? Under 200 Facebook Page likes? Under 50 in your circle? Please add &#8220;low&#8221; next to your name so we know to help you out!</p>
<p>• YES, you can link to your hop. You may want to add &#8220;linky&#8221; next to it.</p>
<p>• Make a goal to visit 5 others, like/friend them, and then leave a comment telling them hello.</p>
<p>•  Thursday Comment Club has been merged to Friday and Tuesday Friend and Follow. Feel free to list &#8220;comment&#8221; on your entry (as long as it is NOT for a giveaway of course)</p>
<p>***TIP: Blogger Users- The changes to the blogger word verification has made it difficult for others to post comments. Turn off  your word verification and you&#8217;ll most likely get more comments! ***</p>
