Oh this is pretty much me Now Juliana…I know you don’t like these but be a love just pick one!!!!

You Are Alert

You are an extremely perceptive person. You area always paying attention to those little details. You like to sit back and watch. It’s amazing to watch other people in action. You can be a bit sneaky and sly at times. You like to eavesdrop and spy. You know a lot about everyone, and as a result, you always have some thought provoking observations to make!

The Retro Pattern Test

Harriet at Harriet and Friends did a great post about the privacy issues on Facebook. Yesterday morning I was listening to one of my favorite Podcasts Buzz Out Loud and came upon some more information about this privacy issue. I think the privacy issues SUCK big time on Facebook and I have taken mine and really limited it to what can and cannot be shared. It’s only me and friends basically. And that’s the way it’s going to stay.

You think you have your settings set correctly? Guess again. Go to YOUROPENBOOK.ORG. You can type in anything and you will see what others can see about you. It’s scary. One way to easily check your settings is to go to RECLAIMPRIVACY.ORG. You can drag a button into your bookmarks bar and then log into your Facebook account. It will scan your privacy settings and make suggestions.

i just wanted to share this little bit of information. I hope it helps.

WHY YOU NEVER QUESTION A DRUNK…

I was shopping at the local supermarket where I selected:

A half-gallon of 2% milk
A carton of eggs
A quart of orange juice
A head of lettuce
A 2 lb. can of coffee
A 1 lb. package of bacon

As I was unloading my items on the conveyor belt to check out, a drunk standing behind me watched as I placed the items in front of the cashier.

While the cashier was ringing up the purchases, the drunk calmly stated, ‘You must be single.’

I was a bit startled by this proclamation, but I was intrigued by the derelict’s intuition, since I indeed had never found Mr. Right. I looked at the six items on the belt and saw nothing particularly unusual about my selections that could have tipped off the drunk to my marital status..

Curiosity getting the better of me, I said, ‘Yes you are correct. But how on earth did you know that?’

The drunk replied, ‘Cause you’re ugly.

Hey, it’s only my opinion.

Wednesday Wickedness: Aretha and Facebook

Janera hosts Wednesday Wickedness. Mahalo Janera for hosting. Direct from her blog comes the following:

“Hi and welcome to our brand new Wednesday Wickedness. We are like other memes in that we will ask you ten questions each and every Wednesday. But our little “twist” is that each week we will pick a famous person and pick ten of their quotes. Each of our questions will be based on the quotes. Got it? Great! Let’s begin this week’s meme! Today we picked Aretha Franklin. Here’s Wednesday Wickedness!

WEDNESDAY WICKEDNESS: ARETHA

1. “Trying to grow up is hurting, you know. You make mistakes. You try to learn from them, and when you don’t, it hurts even more.” Do you think you always learn from your mistakes? Always – No. Sometimes – Yes.

2. “I might be just twenty-six, but I’m an old woman in disguise… twenty-six goin’on sixty-five.” Have you ever felt that you were either older or younger, for your age at that time? At what time? Age is a number. Get over it already.

3. “I think the hardest thing is losing weight. That’s the hardest thing more than anything else.” Have you had trouble losing weight? A better question is have I ever tried? Hell no. Ya take me as I am.

4. “Being a singer is a natural gift.” Do you have any natural gifts? My being is a natural gift.

5. “I always felt rock and roll was very, very wholesome music.” What the most “wholesome” rock artist that you like? “What the most”? pffft. Decline to answer on the grounds I don’t get the question.

6. “I sing to the realists; people who accept it like it is.” Are you a realist? As opposed to a fakeist? Houdini probably knows the answer to this one.

7. “No one loves a party more than I. I am a people person.” Do you like to party or are you more of a homebody? My body looks anything but like a home and who doesn’t like to party. Rock On!!!

8. “I’m gonna make a gospel record and tell Jesus I cannot bear these burdens alone.” Do you feel the need to share your burdens? I have very few burdens and when i do I give them to the burro and say be off Jackass!!

9. “I’m the lady next door when I’m not on stage.” Do you know the lady next door? (yes, you can pick either side.) Yes and I’ve heard she has a Green Door!

10. “I never felt inferior or less than. I was blessed to grow up in a environment where self-worth was underscored.” Do you ever feel inferior? pffft!!!
