What Monopoly Piece Are You?, A Birthday, Embrace Life and Little Girl On A Plane
Well it’s Monday. I hope you had a good weekend. This is so true about me.
|
You Are the Car |
 You live your life in top gear. You aren’t afraid to go fast, and you actually do best at high speeds. You act on instinct, and you make decisions in a split second. Your first reaction is usually right. You are impulsive and bold. You love to make risky moves, and you never turn down a chance to roll the dice. |
Capsun at Capsun’s Corner celebrated his birthday yesterday. I hope you had a great day Cap. Happy Birthday my friend. Aloha.
I saw this on CNN this weekend and thought it was powerful and just beautifully done. Enjoy
A CALIFORNIA Congressman was seated next to a little girl on the airplane
leaving from DALLAS when he turned to her and said, ‘Let’s talk. I’ve
heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your
fellow passenger.’
The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to
the total stranger, ‘What would you like to talk about?’
‘Oh, I don’t know,’ said the congressman. ‘How about global warming or
universal health care’, and he smiles smugly.
OK, ‘ she said. ‘Those could be interesting topics. But let me ask you a
question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass.
Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and
a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?’
The California legislator, visibly surprised by the little girl’s
intelligence, thinks about it and says, ‘Hmmm, I have no idea.’
To which the little girl replies, ‘Do you really feel qualified to discuss
global warming or universal health care when you don’t know shit?
Hey, it’s only my opinion.
A Hui Hou
G’day Thom!!

IT’S HERE scroll down a bit to find it…click on it, and then save it for your wonderful blog if you’d like!!!

Thank you my friend. I read it and have saved it. I’ll be doing the post soon
Mahalo 
Good POST you king!
Thanks for your comment!
You are most welcome my friend
Happy Birthday Cap.
Now we know why politicians are unqualified.
Mad Hatter
Isn’t that the truth LOL
Congratulations on being a car!
Happy Birthday to Capsun; I hope it’s a great day!
That poor little kid sitting next to a Congressman — what a great mind and he deserved it! How rude to interrupt someone in the middle of a book. I don’t know, Congressman, let’s discuss falling literacy rates? LOL
The quiz says I’m a car too, though I don’t think it describes me as well as it does you… oh well at least I’m not an iron or a BOOT. LOL
Well I think you are a car as well myself. In your own way a Model-T ROFLMAO!!!
LOL on the Congressman
That was just too funny and yeah..ya think he would discuss that? I doubt it LOL
Hey Thom you made me chuckle out loud with that story on the plane :0)
I’ll have to go back now and see what monopoly piece I am.
Have a great week!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend
I’m the Thimble!
Thimble is as Thimble does LOL
I’m a car, too, but like Susan, I don’t think it describes me as well it does you. Love the conversation on the plane — sounds about right for a friggin’ politician! Hope you have a great week, Thom!
Sylvia
friggn’ politician LOL I love it. Yeah I think that’s about right and for you as well my friend
I am the car, too
Love that bday card and the little girl on the plane !!
Happy Monday, Thom, mine is 2/3 over!
Welcome to the club then
Glad you enjoyed. Well then there’s always Tuesday so have a good Tuesday 
According to the quiz, I am a thimble, but that is waaay wrong:
You Are the Thimble
You are a very resourceful and crafty person. Some may even call you cunning.
You are always looking for opportunities to get ahead. You are very creative and original.
You like to survey each situation and carefully plan your move. You have a good instinct for defense.
You like to protect what’s yours, and you never take on too much at once. You believe in holding back until the time is right.
I happy birthday’d Capsun yesterday, but he’s tiurning a very big number so I guess he deserves another: Happy Birthday, Capsun!
Couldn’t watch the video. Amoeba is on a conference call and I have my sound turned off.
Yeah that is soooo not you. Pfft broken I would say.
Aloha Thom,
Mahalo again for the birthday wishes and the shout out on your blog.
Committed readers like you keep me going.
Mahalo!
You are most welcome my friend. I hope it was a great day
Happy Birthday to Capsun even if I don’t know him yet!
The quiz said I was a thimble, so I re-took the quiz and was a car which is more to my liking. But once a thimble always one.
The kid on the plane was priceless!
Thank you for commenting on my post and always being so positive. It is much appreciated my friend. Muah!
Yeah a thimble doesn’t fit you at all and welcome to my car club
Glad you enjoyed and you are more than welcome my friend. Just think positive always 
I’m a shoe!
Happy birthday Cap. May you have many more to come.
I love the airplane story. Thanks for sharing.
Have a great day my friend.
Well I hope it’s a shoe that you like LOL. Glad you enjoyed
For what it’s worth, a horse is not a ruminant and none of the three live on grass only. Hey, am I qualified to be in congress?
You are indeed qualified. Extremely as a matter of fact
I believe that car describes you WELL! The quiz says I am a car also… but I’m not sure about that. I could be I suppose… but I don’t really think so. I’m positive I’m not Quilly’s thimble as well… I wonder what else they have! I really think I would be the Top Hat! *shrug*
That joke is HYSTERICAL! I loved it!
Well a car yeah that might be you. But a Top Hat…definitely! Glad you liked the joke my darlin’
WONDERFUL!!!! I just love your blog so much, Thom! Loved that video with such inspiring and touching music. And the joke was cute, too.
Mahalo Gigi…I’m grateful that you do. I loved that video. When I saw that on CNN I knew I had to post it. Just awe inspiring.
I’m the car – a shiny red Vette I think!
I loved that video. It brought tears. I agree that it was beautifully done.
Love that little girl!!!!!
Happy Birthday Capsun!
So your in your little Red Corvette hmmm? LOL I loved that video as well. It’s so powerful. I’m so glad you watched it. Gigi liked it as well and I’m glad she watched it as well
i don’t play board games and didn’t like the questions so pft!
i saw the girl on the plane story before but it still draws a grin
Atta girl I love it when you pffft. LOL
I love the Monopoly quiz…but wish I was something cooler than the thimble!
And I hope my future child is as cool as that kid!!!
Any child of yours will be cool I think
You Are the Shoe
You are a hard worker and quite stubborn. You are willing to put in long hours to achieve your goal.
You never give up, even when things get difficult. You are very tough.
You are adventurous and free spirited. You are confident that you can do almost anything, and you are never the afraid.
You’re the type of person who wants to conquer the whole world. And you know it begins one step at a time.
What Monopoly Piece Are You?
Blogthings: Quizzes and Tests and Memes, Oh My!
I think this is so you
Thought that both the video and the joke were tremendous! Might have to spread the wealth with them.
And I think that I’m the first … dog? Hmmm … not sure that I like the sound of that. But I always thought that the token was cute. And, I have no argument with the write up, so I guess I can live with it.
(Though the reason that I’m so nice during games is because I’m a total bitch when I get competitive, and I’m a sore loser. LOL I’m not very happy when I get like that, so there you are. 
)
You Are the Dog
You don’t have a competitive bone in your body, and it’s likely that you play games just for fun. You prefer to cooperate whenever possible. Monopoly is often too cutthroat for you!
You secretly feel bad if you totally beat someone in a game. You prefer light and friendly competition. You want everyone to get along and be happy. You are a loyal and true friend who never wants to see anyone disappointed.
Be my guest and share. When I saw you were a dog Spike thought how can he work bitch into his response. Well you did it for me. I love and always have the dog in Monopoly as well and would be a bitch if I didn’t get it and I too am a bitch and sore loser as well. Kindred spirits if ya ask me. MWAH!
Thom, I know that Congressman. I saw him drunk on the Mobile Lounge at Dulles Airport once. Oh wait, that was a different congressman — one from Texas instead of CA…on the other hand, I went to school (undergrad) in Texas, so I’m not sure that the child was REALLY a product of Texas Independent School Districts…
just kidding. This is funny.
ROFLMAO. Three cheers for the TISD! This is just too funny.
I’m a car…and I love it…I didn’t know we were the same…My computer is updated finally after two weeks and I feel like I have a life again.
Cheers.
Welcome to the car club. I’m glad your computer is updated
I’m a thimble, too.
Thanks for sharing the beautiful video. I love the wonderful visual effect to show this important message.
LOL. I wonder who comes up with these jokes
TY for your lovely comment on my blog. I think that all of us complete each other in this wonderful friendship. Being surrounded by warm souls makes you only think about all the support you can give from your heart. I learn a lot from you, my dear friend. xoxoxo
I loved that video. It was just inspiring to me as was your post my friend. I dunno who comes up with these. Can you imagine? It’s for sure I’m not talented enough to think them up LOL.
The car looks like it matches your job, Thom. I am the shoe, but I’m no relation of Imelda, ok
Child wisdom always amazes me. It’s very cute too. I wish I were a child again and be frank to say something like that to authority figures in their faces
Happy birthday to Capsun.
What a beautiful way of illustrating an advice! Thanks for sharing the video, Thom.
LOL I wouldn’t want to be a child again but I sure would like to be that frank with a politician at my age now. Come to think of it I think I just might LOL. That video was awesome I thought. That’s why I had to share it. With you and the Stiletto’s you sure there’s no relation to Imelda? ROFLMAO!!! Doesn’t surprise me that you are a shoe LOL
Do you watch Top Gear on BBC America? All 5 of my guys are glued to the TV when it is on.
And I am giggling non-stop over the politician joke. It *might* be because I am still awake in the middle of the night.
LOL.,..we don’t get that channel here. I’ve never heard of it. LOL I hope you liked the joke and it just wasn’t you being up late LOL
