9) do you call it "charlie and the chocolate factory" or "willy wonka?" Willy Wonka, and I don't like it. Oompah Loompah = midgets, Willy Wonka = delusional paranoid bipolar loon, Charlie = whiny ahole, Grandpa = lazy POS laying in bed being waited on but magically rallies to go on fabulous golden ticket tour. The hardworking mother should've gone!
10) can you play 5 degrees of Kevin Bacon? Explain! ETA: i have since learned it is called 6 degrees of kevin bacon, and it is to see if other actors can be connected to KB, not regular joe shmoes.

I have been in a blizzard, and some hurricane that hit NE in like the 80's

In th middle of the country. I may not go to the beach often but I don't think I could live somewhere that was land locked

Pay off our debt, buy a house, re furnish said house

Charlie and the chocolate factory
10) can you play 5 degrees of Kevin Bacon? Explain! ETA: i have since learned it is called 6 degrees of kevin bacon, and it is to see if other actors can be connected to KB, not regular joe shmoes. I LOSE.
I don't think I can well maybe but it would take some thought so i will get back to everyone

6) where would you NEVER live? Why? East Lansing. Too close to MSU and either I'll get in a fight, or someone in my family will. It's just a recipe for disaster...
7) you have 10 million dollars. first five things you would do with it? 1. Buy or build a new house on a good amount of property in a good area. 2. Put a bunch of it in savings for a college fund for SD and any other kids we have. 3. Go clothes shopping! 4. Buy my dream shoes: a pair of Louboutins! <333 5. Put the rest in savings.
8) last meal you would eat if you knew you were dying? If I knew I was dying, I would gorge myself on fresh veggies, because I would die before dealing with the negative effects. I haven't had a raw cucumber in 7 years. *crying*
9) do you call it "charlie and the chocolate factory" or "willy wonka?" Either or. I think I usually say Willy Wonka because I expect more people to recognize that sooner than thinking about Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (like who is this Charlie and why does he have a Chocolate Factory? Oh that Factory...that Charlie, right, got it.) lol
10) can you play 5 degrees of Kevin Bacon? Explain! I have lots of links to Kevin Bacon. I met John Inman, who was in Shakespeare in Love with Colin Firth, who was in Where the Truth Lies with Kevin Bacon. Several years ago I met Danny Bonaduce outside of McD's on Hollywood Blvd, and he was in Dickie Roberts with Brendan Fraser, who was in The Air I Breathe with Kevin Bacon. On my bach trip to NYC, I crossed paths with Doris Roberts (Marie from Everybody Loves Raymond) who was in Grandma's Boy with Linda Cardellini, who was in Super with Kevin Bacon.
So I have several 3 step links to Kevin Bacon. Who knew?

Xtine - I agree on land locked places. I am an hour from a beach, and I don't want to be farther.
Cute dress too!
Shauni - that is how I eat my potatoes too, so since I'm trying not to be the fattest a$$ around, I am not eating them. LOL. I do scrape a lot of the potato itself out and eat the bottom layer and the skin.

6) where would you NEVER live? Why? NEXT TO MIL OR SIL!!!
7) you have 10 million dollars. first five things you would do with it? Pay off all bills. Purchase house with land in the country. Buy new cars for J and I. Help family with bills (except maybe SIL who has never worked b/c she's lazy and lives off government). Save.

Is a blizzard a natural disaster? If so I've been in too many.
Tbears, now I want a whopper.
Selfishly I am really happy this hurricane bullshiz was not going on last year, mere weeks before my wedding at the shore. Everyone is supposed to evacuate by mid-day tomorrow. The place where we had our wedding is literally sitting on the beach.
That would have been a nightmare.
I don't know for sure but put it anyway. I figured, I was snowed in for a couple days and we couldn't leave, so it should hold some merit! ;-)
I put it because sometimes they call a State of Emergency, so that is kinda a disaster.
