2. What shows are you into?
A. Right now I am into Supergirl and Victoria.
3. What TV channel doesn’t exist but really should?

4. Who has impressed you most with what they’ve accomplished?
A. My father. He has built up a multi-million dollar business from nothing.
5. What age do you wish you could permanently be?
A. Early 40s.
6. What TV show or movie do you refuse to watch?

7. What is something that is considered a luxury, but you don’t think you could live without?
A. My computer.
8. What’s your claim to fame?

17. What could you give a 40-minute presentation on with absolutely no preparation?
A. How to write articles for newspapers and magazines.
18. If you were dictator of a small island nation, what crazy dictator stuff would you do?
A. I would give everyone free health care and education. I would have mandatory 40-hour work week (no overtime), all people would be equal regardless of gender, race, sexual preference, etc., football players would make $30,000 a year and firefighters and teachers would make $100,000 a year - there would be no pollution because of strict regulations on such things, the water would be clean, the government would probably be large because we'd need a lot of people to check the food, water, drugs, etc. for quality control. Movies would only cost $2.50 to see and popcorn would be $1.50 a bag.
19. What is something you think everyone should do at least once in their lives?
A. Travel to another country. It is eye-opening and necessary to get out of the bubble that most citizens of the U.S. live in.

I encourage you to visit other participants in Sunday Stealing posts and leave a comment. Cheers to all us thieves who love memes, however we come by them.
I see our tv interests run right along together... I detest violence, too!
ReplyDeletePlease don't cut the football players' salaries until your healthcare program goes through. On my meme, I should have answered that I won't watch the NFL because it isn't entertaining to watch young men literally risk their brains for me. They are our gladiators, in all that implies.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so cool that you kept people up on their community. All politics is local. Neighborhood news is where it all begins.
While I do get a kick out of Swamp People, I would enjoy a real science channel...particularly archeologic shows.
ReplyDeleteOooh! Can I live on your island??
ReplyDeleteI want to live on your island nation too!
ReplyDeleteI forgot about Victoria!!! I love that one too! I need to go add it to my list. Hahahaha Loved your answers! Have a great day!

I Ching is interesting...thanks for giving me the new thing I learned today!
ReplyDeleteLong hugs are the best. I Ching was pretty a good thing to look up. Thanks. Your dictatorship sounds nice.
ReplyDeleteI also like the phone better than texting... I like the sound of people's voices, they say more than they think they do.
ReplyDeleteJust going to another state or a big city would make a difference for many people. When I worked for a book publisher that was a 45 minute commute south of San Francisco, I was amazed at some of the people in the administrative dept. who shuddered about having to go to the City.
ReplyDeleteI'm with you about Nancy Pelosi. I no longer have doubts about her, well, the amount has reduced. I would like to live on your island, by the way, Madame Dictator.
