A song other people hate but you love: i'm sure there are a bunch but nobody has ever come right out & told me that they hated a song i love.
A song covered by at least two other bands or artists: "Please Come to Boston", originally done by Dave Loggins, covered by both Kenny Chesney & Reba McEntire

Good Monday to everyone! Now, for this week's questions.... and thanks for playing!

1. What is your favorite framed object in your house? my framed Andie photos that i have hanging in my office
2. If you had a choice of being a carnivore or a herbivore, which one would you be, and why? no way could i pick! i like a well balanced meal.
3. Who do you think should have won the FIFA World Cup? Or, don't you care? the only football i care about is the NFL. i am just glad the thing is OVER so we can stop talking about it all the time. =P
4. What's your feelings on stormy weather? i love it...as long as it isn't a hurricane
5. Do you believe in "time out" chairs? yes i do. i don't have children but i did daycare for years & i was a firm believer in time out when necessary. i also exercise time out for my pup when he misbehaves--into his crate he goes. the key is to be consistent without overusing.
6. Have you ever bought or sold anything on Ebay? never. i never even really look at Ebay.

Saturday Six - Episode 117

Your Inner Child Is Sad

You're a very sensitive soul. You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have. Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone. You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.

How Is Your Inner Child?

5. What is your ideal summer day? one in which we experience a "cool front" ;-)
6. What was the setting of the last dream you remembered? i was in Manny Ramirez's house
