1. Insisting my body can still do all the things it always has...today the orthopedic surgeon likened my left hip to a '63 Chevy with 150,000 miles on it. Gee thanks! Then he pulled out my 4 surgical staples from Friday's shoulder surgery. Think there's a few signs here...
2. Depends where I am buying it from.
3. Date a criminal. Change countries for a guy.
4. See answer number one. Although the young female Xray technician today couldn't believe my real age when I told her. At least a few parts of me are holding up well.
5. Today. My fiance and I laugh all the time.
6. Sadly, yes. I get really tired of watching charm and social capital beat out talent and hard work.
7. Watching me cry at PT? Likely not a Nielsen Top 10.
8. Good question. No clear answer.
9. GEICO's campaign with the B-list celebrities is a hoot.
10. I cannot say I'd miss her, sorry to say. Anyone who can't spell their own name correctly makes me nervous. I know, nasty comment, but admit it, some of you thought so too.
BQ:
Not a chance.

Bleak - Is Going After Cacciato a good read? I've been meaning to pick it up ever since I read his Into the Lake of the Woods (brilliant) and Tomcat in Love (good, but not great). Also want to read The Things They Carried, which sounds good but depressing.

I totally agree with you about young authors' esoteric backgrounds. Your post was funny--thanks for my laugh of the day!

Janet - do I know you in real life? twins separated by birth
omg - I totally ran down half naked main street in sag harbor without shoes, and terribly hurt my feet.

only I can't promise to never do it again, when I am there I am there with my family and they set off the strangest things in me.

df-
Must be the salt air that causes a girl to lose her clothes and streak down the streets of that whaling town.
Glad to know that I'm not alone in my naked pursuit. Let me know the next time you are coming out and we can do a tandem bounce!

1. What is the worst habit you presently have?
I pass gas continuously. This is true. And I do it so frequently that I sometimes forget to make sure no one is around.

2. When buying a newspaper or magazine, do you take the one on top of the pile or reach for the next one down?
Absolutely. Never the one on top, too messy.

3. What is on your "I Will Never Do That Again" list?
Use straight clorox for anal bleaching.

4. What parts of your body are beginning to show signs of age?
As I get older, I'm growing hair everywhere. Fuzzy white hair on the back of my neck, Hair all over my back. Tufts of hair on my shoulders. Whitish hair on my chest. Hair around the navel. Hair in the crack. Its weird, I'm starting to look like the Cro-Magnon man in a natural history museum.
.
5. When was the last time you had a real genuine laugh?
Truly, I can't remember.

6. Is there anyone you are jealous of?
At this point of my life I just feel thankful for what I have and just accept it that others have gone farther.

7. Would your life presently make for an interesting reality show?
Oh yeah, photographer by day, suburban family drone by night. This is possible because of NJ Transit.

8. Have you figured out what your purpose is?
No, and I haven't figured out the purpose of the extra nad either, Janet.

9. What marketing campaign do think is brilliant?
Viagra. I think the medical warning " If you experience an erection lasting more than four hours, contact your physician immediately" is actually brilliant marketing. Guys can't get enough of it!

10. Do you think Not Priveledged (sic) will return?
Geez, she was really tar and feathered and run out of town on a rail. But I imagine after she picks the chicken feathers out of her hair, she'll be back.

~Bonus Question~
Have you ever taken laxatives or purged as a method of losing weight?
No, but once in college while constipated, I ate an entire box of ex laxes all at once. Bad move. Maybe this should be up there with #3.

HisGirlFriday--All those habits don't make you a bad person; they make you human. (Can't say I don't share several of them with you!)

Pamela--Nope, no marriage in sight for this gal. Not sure why I call him hubby---maybe referring to honey. Thanks for noticing!

My sister is actually marrying a Scottish man this weekend. They don't wear undies with their kilts ... so I will be doing some groomsmen sight seeing via a mirror on my shoe!

Nandy...
I check the toilet after I go too. I like to admire it if its really a good one. But I never really thought of this as a bad habit.

(the truth is we all look at it)

Foto, Nandy...
You really *should* look at it. Everyone should. I looked the other day and saw a whole bunch of blood, which, of course, required yet another trip to the doctor and an exciting lab test wherein I had to collect my own poop (or bloody poopy liquid, as was the case in this instance).

Like I said, my reality show could be a medical mystery...

whoa, astera--"bloody poopy liquid"? tough to process as i sip my coffee on a saturday morning...! but hope everything's just fine. sorry you had to collect it yourself, but i guess that's how "stool samples" are done. maybe because most people on earth would not take the job of collecting other people's stool samples. also because we can't just poop on demand at the doctor's office...ok, i'm thinking too much about this.

i, too, thought your husband holding a sign with your name at the airport was really lovely.

pholiday, have fun at the scottish wedding! report back your findings! : )

and btw janet, did you go to that bat mitzvah as i recommended? did you do the horah? did you shake it to "we are family"?
