Because it wouldn’t be Monday without the Monday Mission<\/a>:<\/p>\n

1. Have you ever sold anything through an online auction? What did you sell and did you make very much?<\/b><\/p>\n

I’ve sold excess videotapes and books through eBay, but didn’t much care for the auction experience. I prefer using Amazon’s used sales mechanism. Which reminds me …<\/p>\n

2. Have you ever bought anything through an online auction? How was your experience?<\/b><\/p>\n

I don’t like the auction experience. I want to buy what’s there for the price we agree on. I hate not knowing if I’ll win. Control Freak ‘R’ Us.<\/p>\n

3. Do you like the sun? Getting a suntan? Have you ever had a bad sunburn?<\/b><\/p>\n

While I inherited my sweat and oil glands from my mother’s Italian side of the family, I got my melanin from my dad’s Irish\/English side. Which is to say, I burn pretty damned easily. I also get hot easily, so shade and air conditioning are my friends. And hats, now that my hair is short enough that I can wear one on my 7-7\/8 noggin.<\/p>\n

4. Are you a vegetarian? Why? If not, have you ever considered it?<\/b><\/p>\n

My ancestors evolved to stop eating plants. Why should I disappoint them?<\/p>\n

No, I’ve never considered it. There’s too much meat I like to eat.<\/p>\n

5. Suppose you are getting into your car after you’ve just made your purchase from a store you visit twice a week. You suddenly realize you had a .35\u00a2 item in your hand and you forgot to pay for it. What would you do next? (what *would* you do, not what *should* you do)<\/b><\/p>\n

If it were really no trouble (time-wise), I might go back in and apologize, ponying up the .35, but more likely I’d shrug it off. If I remembered, I’d buy something extra there next time I was in. <\/p>\n

6. Sometimes it seems that there is just not enough time to do everything that must be done. Was there anything you wanted to accomplish this weekend that didn’t get done?<\/b><\/p>\n

Heh. Heh heh heh.<\/p>\n

Yeah. Work on my game for next weekend comes immediately to mind. As well as most of the other things on my list.<\/p>\n

7. What is your favorite game to play with a group and\/or an individual? (board game, computer game, athletic, etc.)<\/b><\/p>\n

RPGs are my group gaming weakness.<\/p>\n

Individually, some sort of first person shooter. But only solo — I do not <\/i>need to get involved in on-line gaming. I know where my potential addictions lie.<\/p>\n

Today’s comment topic is: Innie or Outtie?<\/b><\/p>\n

Definite innie (and getting innier all the time). <\/p>\n

Katherine has an innie most of the time, but when she’s eaten a lot, it pops out as an outie. Sort of like a little turkey thermometer thang. It’s how we know she’s full.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
