Monday Madness 6-19-06

This week's questions come from one of our fellow players, Tricia! Thank you Tricia, for your fabulous questions. Look for more from Tricia in the upcoming weeks. Thanks to everyone for playing, and have a great week! =)

1. How many cop shows can you name?
Hill Street Blues, Hawaii Five-O, Magnum PI, Miami Vice, Knight Rider, Dragnet, NYPD Blue, Kojak, Starsky and Hutch, Cagney and Lacy, A-Team, CSI, and Law and Order.
2. Do you send text messages?
No, because they are too expensive. At .10/message, that could add up after awhile, and it would cost us more per month, to have unlimited text messages. DH and I are old and think it's just easier to "say" the message, than it is to type it all out. DH also won't play along, with text messages and I don't know who else I would send a text message to!
3. If you could be on a gameshow (current or old), which one would you be on and why?
Wheel of Fortune, Pyramid, or Family Feud. I always enjoyed watching these shows and trying to guess the answers. It might have been fun to be there in person. Maybe Jeopardy, too. Although, I think one would have to study, to be on Jeopardy. For that, sometimes I knew the answers and sometimes I had absolutely no clue!
4. What are some of your favorite websites?
(Links open in new window.)
Dog Addicts Message Board
Momsview Message Board
Weather Underground
Intellicast Radar
Dog Food Project
For Better or For Worse
5. What are your favorite things about the internet?
That there is a wealth of information, right at my fingertips! Want song lyrics? Need a movie title? Want to know who played a certain role, in a movie? When did the movie come out? You can read the comics, catch up on the news, check the weather, keep up with friends, all on the internet. I also love being able to check the library's card catalogue, at home and put books on reserve, at home! I love being able to order things online, although sometimes, it's hard to wait for them to come!
6. What about least favorite?
I suppose that the risk of identity theft is never all that far away, or that once in a while, you can't find the information you want, no matter how hard you try. It also takes up a lot of time, that I probably should spend doing something else, like cleaning my house, or walking my dog!
7. What are some good ways to deal with a pet loss?
Keep pictures around of your beloved pet. Maybe spread their ashes in a special spot. We kept the collar and tags, from the dog we had to put down, about 2 years ago. People on my dog board, too, were very supportive, after we had to put Honey down. Also, don't be afraid to have a good cry, now and then.

Heya Dawn- Great MM answers.. i've passed thro quite a few American MM'ers and you all say the same about text messages- about them being expensive... they aren't so bad here at all- far more cost efficient than calling to or from a mobile phone.

I hope you're having a spendid week Dawn =))

Great Monday Madness!! Loved your answer to #5, those are all things I love about the net too, I just wasn't very succinct in stating it. You did a great job. I love being able to look up library books too, so convenient.

Have a great day, and a wonderful week!
