Again, our topic is 'potpourri.' Thank you to all participants who contributed questions!! The following are the final selection from our fellow Monday Madness players.......Have fun!1. Which is more fun, kid's toys or grown-up kid's toys? (ie. Lego's vs. power tools)2. What's your favorite food and why? Which food is your number one weakness?3. How many blogs/journals/diaries would you say you read?4. Do you feel you have an obligation to spread your religious belief system to others, or do you think religion is a private matter that everyone needs to decide for themselves?5. Did you keep a paper journal before blogging?6. Describe your life in 3 words.7. What was the last thing you were wrong about?8. What one thing would you do to help the world be a better place for all?9. Are you a dog person or a cat person?10. If you could start your own meme (And you can!), what kind of questions would you ask?

1. Kids' toys! I think I had the most fun with legos when my kids were small.
2. Pizza and chocolate are tied for first place. I think chocolate is number one for weakness. Sometimes I just HAVE to have it!
3. I probably read about 6 regularly. Family members plus colleen and a couple of others occasionally.
4. I do not feel an obligation to spread it, but I'm not afraid to discuss it if someone is interested.
5. Still do sometimes!
6. Music, family, teaching.
7. The last big thing was probably allowing the summer play to be delayed 2 weeks. It worked out ok, but we could have done it on the 30th.
8. I don't think that way. I do the best I can in my work and forget about the "woulda-coulda-shoulda". I don't think it's healthy to dwell on what don't do, but focus on what you can and will do.
9. Yes, I am a dog and a cat person.
10. I'm happy answering other peoples' questions!

Another selection of questions suggested by our fellow participants!! Have fun!! =)1. If you could only take one item with you on to a desserted island what book, movie, music would you take?2. What's the most disgusting thing that you have ever eaten or even just put in your mouth??3. What one thing would you do differently if given the chance?4. What political party, if any, do you belong to?5. Do you like icees?6. East or West?7. Will we ever "all" be happy with the current political situation????8. Cookies or Crackers?9. What fun thing did you do today?...and #10 has nothing to do with any of the above questions.........10. Why??
1. Book: The bible; a study version. Music: My trumpet with the Arban Book. Movie: I can't really think of one that I love that much, but I guess, "The Mirror has two Faces"
2. Oysters on the half shell. YUCHH!! Raw, slimey. . . .what's to like? 3. I am a firm believer in "cause and effect", so I don't think you could change one thing without changing everything that comes after, so I would change nothing. 4. 5. I like icees, but they contain too much sugar, so I never have them. 6. West. 7. No. How could that be?? 8. Cookies! Chocolate chip; homemade! 9. I'll answer this about yesterday, since I haven't had time to do anything yet today. I had a nice visit with sis #5, who is in town for a visit. I'm looking forward to spending the day with her and her family! 10. Kismet.

Greetings!Well, my summer play will FINALLY be coming to an end! Our performance is tomorrow. I think it will be ok. I don't know if I have someone to run lights yet, but. . . .

greetings all! It only took me about 13 tries to log in today! Anyway, i (shift key trouble) just returned from a very nice visit on the other side of the state. The "P" word did come up, but we were able to amicably agree to disagree! I only spent 16 bucks at the cross stitch store. Turns out I already have most of the pattern books I like! It looks lke my incentive to clean has come at last! Sis #5 will be visiting nextweek. I'm looking forward to it! Later!

I received some really great questions from our participants and I want to thank each and every one of you who submitted a question. Since I will be asking 10 questions per week, all of the questions submitted will be used at some point within the next month. So our theme for the next month will be 'Potpourri!' I've randomly selected 10 questions from my list and here's what came up. Have fun! Remember, you're answering your fellow Monday Madness players' questions! Again, thank you! =)1. Whtat's "it" all about, anyway?2. What radical political ideas do you have, if any?3. Do you believe that you 'fit' the profile of your astrological star sign?4. Will blogging survive 2005 or is it a fad?5. Do you Ebay? If so, what and how often? Is it a full-time job, part-time hobby, or just to clear the junk from your house?6. True or False: When I vote, I am all for one party.7. Meat or veggie sauce on your spaghetti?8. Would you ever be on a TV Reality Show?9. What is one thing (or place) that you would like to do (or see) that you have not yet done (or seen?)10. Do you answer memes honestly?
1. It's all about being comfortable in your own skin and living and ENJOYING your life to its utmost!
2. WATCH OUT!! I'M A LIBERAL!!!

5. No.
6. True
7. Both.
8. No.

It's been a busy week, so I will be updating our 'recent participants' list immediately after this post. Thanks for all your patience! And now for this week's questions.......True or False:1. I always exercise my right to vote. (If you are under 18, 'I will always exercise my right to vote as soon as I am old enough to.')2. I pay little or no attention to the campaign ads aired on television prior to a presidential election.3. I can see myself running for some type of political office someday.4. I believe we will see a woman become president in my lifetime.5. I try to keep an open mind regarding all political issues.6. I believe the drinking age should be raised.7. I think the legal age to vote should be raised.8. I thought these qustions were interesting.9. I will be back to play again!~Bonus Question~ (stole this idea from wild fl0w3r!)10. If I was the moderator of this meme, one question I would ask is........

1. Other than that time the school board member (from the school my kids didn't attend) was running unopposed, yes.
2. Most of those are CaCa! If I need info on a candidate, that's NOT where I would get it!
3. False!
4. God, I hope so!
5. True, but once I have an opinion, watch out!
6. False. I think raising it would just result in more illegal drinkers. thee are as many drinkers on college campuses today as there were when I was in school. . when the drinking age was 18.
7. False! If you are old enough to go off to "fight for our country", you're old enough to vote.
8. True.
9. true.
10. Ain't you clever! This is the hardest question here. Sorry! I can't think of one!
