QotD: Ghost Stories

Do you believe in ghosts? If so, have you ever seen one?

Nope, I don't believe in them; and it's mainly because I've never seen any.  And I prefer to keep it that way.  I'm scary enough, and I'm sure it'll scare the shit out of me.

If there are any ghosts reading this, I don't mean to offend you...I'm just being honest.

QotD: Road Trip

When was the last time you drove out of town?

Technically I didn't drive, but I rode with Hopluv from Dallas to Fort Worth to purchase her daughter a new Land Rover Freelander.  Yeah, those of you who know the Dallas, TX metro area might think that Fort Worth (aka Funkytown) isn't really out of town.  Well, I never go there so it's out of town to me; and it seems like a long drive/ride.

9 Words Women Use

1.  Fine : This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2.  Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour.  Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3.  Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5.  Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or Faint. Just say you're welcome.

8. Whatever : Is a women's way of saying F YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking  'What's wrong?' For the woman's response refer to #3.

QotD: Guest vs. Host

For a full sit-down dinner with several guests, would you rather be the one cooking or do you prefer to just show up and eat?

I'd rather show up (with a bought desert) and eat.  Frankly, because my cooking skills aren't where they should be.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE!

Exfoliating Soaps

Exfoliating soaps are my latest addiction. I just absolutely love these. They’re very big bars, moisturizes my skin so well and I just adore the scents. The Somerset Toiletry Company are responsible for such great bars of soaps. But ya know what?! I’ve had the hardest time finding them. The only place I can find them is at Marshall’s and TJ Maxx. So whenever I visit either store, I buy the soaps I find. I’m glad my addiction is healthy for my skin!

Vox Hunt: The Good Doctor

Show us your favorite doctors.

I know the "hunt challenge" of the day is to show your favorite doctor, but I wanted to show two of my favorites; fiction doctor, and reality-tv doctor.  Julian McMahon who plays Christian Troy on Nip/Tuck and Dr. Robert Rey from Dr. 90210.

V-Moda Vibe Chrome

I finally bought the V-Moda Vibe Modaphones. Hopluv recommended these to me months ago. I’d been using the iPod in-ear headphones, and after having listened to a few songs with her Vibes, I just had to get me a pair. They are a bit pricey, but are worth the cost! I guess almost any pair of in-ear headphones are better than those included with the iPod.

They isolate outside noise very, VERY well. The sound quality is awfully impressive. You know when you turn the volume up very high, and some brands start to get static and distortion, the Vibes won’t. There are numerous reviews on the internets you can Google to get all the different opinions. I can’t say that I’ve come across one review that put them down. The $100 cost of them is the only negative comment I’ve read that some don’t like about them. And the cost was one reason I didn’t buy them months ago.

So, if you’re searching for a great sound to listen with for your portable music device, I’m recommending these to you.

QotD: Best Buy

What's the best thing you ever bought off of Ebay or Craigslist?

I got a great deal on a Canon S3 IS.  At the time the camera was $499.99 retail, and I got a brand new one from Craigslist for $300.  Now I call that a deal!
