| writesonwater | Posted – 6/19/2008 10:41:29 AM | show profile | email poster 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? My blogs 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? Yes -- we've moved offices and news has been slow to get out, and the phones haven't transferred. Pain in the behind as I'm sure some people think we've closed. Sigh. 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). No. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Anything where parents/caregivers are cavalier about their child's safety. Kid too close to roadway, kid in hot car. I will not hesitate to make myself obnoxious if I see this. Once when I worked at a Kinkos, a security guy came in and said there was a toddler in a hot car, windows rolled up, no a/c. I took a crowbar with me, prepared to break the window if need be, and asked loudly if anyone had a car parked outside with a kid in it. One customer, standing in line after making his copies, was like "THe kid's fine, I'm on my way." I was MAD. 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? Not so much. They scatter. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? "I'll go back to work (there)" 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? As a child, we lived in a tent in the rainy season while my mother built a house on land she inherited. Hauled water from a spring, used an outhouse. I hated it, and that's as close as I've come. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Nailing the story. 9. Do you have a will? Yes. When you have kids, you need a will. Our oldest child is our youngest's guardian, and he was very happy to take the role, starting at age 22. 10. What is your absolute truth? I believe in God. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? Versatility - I can crank out stories that don't require much messing with, whatever the topic. |
| voracious reader | Posted – 6/19/2008 11:13:29 AM | show profile Another absolute truth of mine is that there is only a single safe way of slicing a bagel and that is letting someone else do it for you! Writesonwater -- we are most definitately separated at birth. When answering question #4 I was debating the plastic over the stroller vs. leaving children or pets in the car in sweltering heat. Thankfully, here in Nassau County, New York we don't see that latter as often as we used to since they passed a law prohibiting it. Many years ago, I had a similar situation happen, as you described. I took it a step further and contacted my buddy, the police inspector, and he sent a squad car to the woman's home. He called afterwards to say that she was more embarrassed that a police car was in her driveway than she was over her behavior of leaving her two small children in the car while she went into the supermarket. |
| mmc | Posted – 6/19/2008 11:40:45 AM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? My website. 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? It's possible, but I doubt it. 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). Yep; I inherited mine. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Being in the woods at night; certain dreams 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? Right now, the two ducks that live in the creek at the edge of my backyard are mooching around my birdfeeders, quietly saying "murf, murf, murf" to each other and probably hoping I'll come out and give them some bread. It's pretty much the same situation my "life" ducks are in. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? "Whole nuther." UGH! 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? No. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Anticipation. 9. Do you have a will? No. 10. What is your absolute truth? Suck it up, move on. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? Anal retentiveness. |
| wineaux | Posted – 6/19/2008 11:48:18 AM | show profile I saw a bumper sticker once that read, "You wouldn't leave your groceries in the car, so why would you do so with a child?" I was in a grocery store in So Cal and as I was passing through the parking lot I saw a large black suv w/ a big fluffy pooch inside, windows closed, the car not running w/ the a/c. I went inside, trying to find the owner to no avail, and finally told the manager. He called the cops, and they sent the fire dept. Without hesitation, they shattered his passenger window and got the dog out. Of course, he sauntered up after the fact and was completely furious. As I left I heard the firemen telling him that an animal cruelty officer was on his/her way. Every now and again, I'm pleased to see justice actually served. One thing that always enraged me was how often in So. Cal, you'd see on the news people who had left their children in their cars to die of heat stroke. Every f'ing year there was at least one. |
| keltoi2 | Posted – 6/19/2008 11:50:51 AM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? Someone with my name who died about 120 years ago ( a genealogy thing).

Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). No. As classy as "pull my finger". 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? As for "uh=oh", the occasional paranormal goings-on. As for anger, people victimizing those weaker (physically, financially, socially, politically) than themselves. 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? I'm still trying to get them in the same pond. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? "Hand me that piano" (thanks George Carlin).

Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? Thankfully, no. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Nature. 9. Do you have a will? Yes. And a way. 10. What is your absolute truth? In the end, only kindness matters. (Jewel). Basically, the most important thing in life is how we treat each other. That's how we'll be measured at the end. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? Physically, the tall guy with glasses. Among family and friends, real nice guy with an anecdote about absolutely anything. Professionally, I am told I write exactly the way I speak. |

| mad fingers | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:03:57 PM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up?

| wineaux | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:04:23 PM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? Not me! My name is fairly common. Foremost, there is a Christian author who is very controversial, and then there's an Olympiad, a young actress, and a law clerk who served under a Supreme Court judge. 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? I pissed off a PTA Nazi the other day at my children's school, so probably. Petty, bored bitches. Who has time for the nonsense? 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). Yuckity yuk yuck. Nope. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Really good ghost stories, or if I walk into a place and realize it's spook-ridden. 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? None. I'm a mess. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? Dick Cheney is a selfless guy 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? After a fight w/ a live-in borefriend, it took me about a week to get an apt. w/ some friends. I guess that doesn't really count, but it was a pretty depressing time, staying at a friend's house who seemed worried that I may never leave. 8. What is intoxicating to you? A really clear, starry night. The smell of lilacs, floating around on a wavy beach, the smell of my kids hair after a fresh bath, the scattering of freckles on my littlest child's nose, the utter meltingly relaxing feeling after a really good workout, the smell of old books. 9. Do you have a will? Yes. My dad didn't and it was a really huge problem for my mother. 10. What is your absolute truth? That things are really changing for me right now, for the better. I have a lot of hope right now. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? Not really. No special features on this model. |
| df | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:11:21 PM | show profile so obviously I should have googled the dutch oven thing, since janet always plays some tricks on us, and not just gone with the one meaning I know. No I have never given a dutch oven of the other kind under the blanket, and hate it if others do. Maybe I will read others answers before posting mine int he future, but I think it kind of takes the fun out of the whole process. |
| catlondon | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:14:32 PM | show profile From the Urban Slang dictionary: Dutch Oven when you are laying in bed with a "significant other" and you fart then hold her head under the blanket |

Are you presently the subject of any rumors? Probably. One can only hope. 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). Of course! One of the great joys of being married is having someone to act like an 8-year-old with. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Not much since I've been on antidepressants/anti-anxiety. Not finding a parking space when I'm late? 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? Probably more than I think. But it feels like none. Or maybe one. But one doesn't so much make a row, does it? 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? "I'm a good person." 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? Only in my mind. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Flowers. Roses. Lavender. The smell of my dog's ears. Guitar music. Certain people. Beautiful vistas. 9. Do you have a will?

| pamelabeth | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:26:36 PM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? some articles of mine come up starting at results 3 or 4--but a professor who has the same name as i do (and publishes a lot, and apparently has many speaking engagements) usually comes up first. 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? sure hope not. at this point i can't imagine they'd be good (or true). 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). no.... 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? thinking i hear mice in the kitchen. (this is usually proven correct.) 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? ha. not so many. but that has been true most of my life. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? "it doesn't matter what they've done--they're family." "[he/she] is just charging what the market will bear--what's the big deal?" "no dessert for me, please." (well, unless the dessert is somehow disgusting...) 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? in terms of "out on the street" or almost, no. but in nyc, i feel like every move runs the risk of turning into a temporary stay with a friend until a new place is found and available. you just can't will a new place to be found and ready by the time you need it. so aggravating. 8. What is intoxicating to you? the smell of lilacs; the smell of the ocean; arriving in a place i've never been but have looked forward to. 9. Do you have a will? no. should. i guess everyone should once they have assets. 10. What is your absolute truth? one is (regarding the world's problems): we can't do/fix everything, but we've got to do what we can. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? i will be helpful, good-natured, and usually a few minutes late. |

Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? I tend to feel that I'm always only a few paychecks away from homelessness. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Unbridled creativity. 9. Do you have a will? Yes, and my boyfriend and I also have some kind of a prenup-thingy (I forget what it's called) to give each other legal rights to make medical decisions, etc. Thought it would be best to put this stuff in writing, since we're not getting married. 10. What is your absolute truth? That there is nothing absolute in life. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? I'm seldom seen without coffee in my hand...does that count? |
| chucho | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:34:07 PM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? My website 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? Yes. 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). My mother raised me correctly, and I've never met a woman who gives Dutch Ovens. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? It involves sex. Let's not go there. 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? Very, very few. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? Jesus Christ is my Lord and Savior. 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? Nope. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Tequila. 9. Do you have a will? Nope. 10. What is your absolute truth? "Your absolute truth" sounds like an impossible thing. I don't have any personal absolute truths that aren't other people's absolute truths. That's what makes them absolute. In that context my absolute truths are those that have been proven within a reasonable amount of empirical evidence as observed in the natural world, that which can be tested against a controlled element (the test subject versus the control subject int he classic process of the scientific method) by anyone to come up with the same results. Perhaps you should rephrase the question: "What do you believe that you cannot prove?" To which I will answer: I beleive that someday we will invent an artificial immortality -- that is our "souls" will be able to be transplanted either into a silicon or carbon based vessel, either a brainless body produced in a laboratory, or perhaps something like a computer (or both, depending on how rich and powerful you are). I call this "artificial immortality" because only those with access to the technology will be able to transplant their "souls" into new bodies. And it's not real immortality because you can always die unexpectedly. This I beleive to be true but cannot prove (because it's going to be in the future). This will be how we will overcome the time challenge of deep space travel -- we'll simply put the "souls" into a computer and when the spaceship finally reaches a planet that can support carbon-based life, our souls will be transplanted into bodies and viola! we've made it to the next planet. I beleive that will happen (that's my "absolute truth"), or we will destory ourselves before we get there. |
| pamelabeth | Posted – 6/19/2008 12:43:02 PM | show profile wineaux--i was answering at the same time as you. i see we both mentioned lilacs and the ocean...mmmmmm...nothing more intoxicating. keltoi mentioned republicans; someone else mentioned cheney specifically. anyone see scott mclellan (sp?) on letterman? he actually said that cheney was "coming from a dark place," or something very close to that. i was surprised--it was fairly blunt. mclel. seems to have some affection/sympathy for bush (for whatever reasons), but none for cheney. i sat there thinking, wow, cheney must be at least as horrible, personally, as i have ever thought. we may have actually had a representative of satan as vice president. |
| pholiday | Posted – 6/19/2008 1:05:04 PM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? My website. 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? Oh yes. I had a quasi break up last week and it has morphed around work. 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). Unfortunately, yes. It seems that when you sleep with a man this tends to be usual, especially if you sleep with the covers over your head. I wake up at least once a week thinking a stink bomb has gone off. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Being cold. 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? Right now, only one or two of my adult ducks. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? I hate seafood. 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? We (me and my six siblings and mother) were homeless from ages six to eight. Second grade is a blur. I have never come close as an adult and am terrified of it happening. 8. What is intoxicating to you? Alcohol. 9. Do you have a will? No. 10. What is your absolute truth? Um, I am an alcoholic? ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? Yes. I have a large scar on my chin and trademark tarantula-like eyelashes. |
| Astera | Posted – 6/19/2008 1:07:37 PM | show profile 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? The first thing up is a profile on Naymz.com, which is some site I've never heard of. Apparently, it just gathers other links from the Internet and puts them all together. I have a really unusual name--I think I'm the only one in the country--so all my articles and stuff come up when I Google myself. 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? Probably. I don't know how these things get started. 3. Have you ever given or received a ?Dutch Oven?" (You might have to Google this one). No, thank you. 4.What makes the hair on the back of your neck stand up? Creepy sounds at night when I'm in the house alone. Fingernails on a chalkboard. Cruelty and violence, although those things make me more angry and sad. 5. How many of your ducks are in a row? I'd have to say none. I'm flying by the seat of my pants right now. 6. What phrase or sentence will never come out of your mouth? "Hella." I grew up in Northern California when that word was first popular, and when I got down to UCLA, the SoCal people thought everyone from NorCal said it. I refuse to use it on principle. What does it even mean, anyway? It's a weak modifier. Oh, also, "Sure, I'll vote Republican." 7. Have you ever been homeless or close to homeless? No, thank goodness. So far, I've been lucky enough to have a very strong safety net. 8. What is intoxicating to you? The smell of star jasmine in the warm spring air. The site of the jacaranda trees in full bloom. Crashing waves on the sand. And (lots of people don't find this intoxicating) being the center of attention or speaking in front of a crowd. 9. Do you have a will? No. 10. What is your absolute truth? Family and friends come first. Devoting your life to your job isn't worth the sacrifice. ~Bonus Question~ Do you have a trademark--either physically, professionally or otherwise? Physically, I always wear some sort of jewelry, and I am known for my dragonfly pieces. Professionally, I'm recognized as a great copy editor. And otherwise, I make really good chocolate chip cookies that people always comment on, even though it's just the Tollhouse recipe. ------ www.adventuresofastera.blogspot.com |
| pholiday | Posted – 6/19/2008 1:18:44 PM | show profile LILACS Wineux, PB --- I love love love the smell of lilacs. They are the most fragrant and intoxicating flower ever. I so look forward to early summer/late spring when the bushes at my mother's in upstate New York are in full bloom. I stayed with her when my Gram passed and insisted on big vases full of lilacs in every room! |
| GrOoVaL!c!OuS | Posted – 6/19/2008 1:19:29 PM | show profile I'm late to the party. Oh well... 1. When you Google yourself, what is the first result that comes up? Old clips from my college newspaper. 2. Are you presently the subject of any rumors? Not that I'm aware of. 3. Have you ever given or received a "Dutch Oven?"
