Pot Luck Friday...part XIII
Dis shole duz look good!
This forum is officially a smash hit. I am excited to present once again POT LUCK FRIDAY.
What I would like to do is get some feed back from some non blogging readers or some bloggers that don't have the time to blog right now. An open forum, if you will. For example, the drama on "The View", American Idol results or how current employers use sites like Myspace as a screening tool to weed out potential employees.
There is no topic off limits! I know that relationship posts are common but be more specific. What element of the relationships? Finding one, keeping one, how to get out of one..all are up for discussion and friendly debate.
I am an information junkie! Garbage in--garbage out! But, I still like to process information. So, I'd like to try to start a day where the readers are in control of every single question, we take the comment that is posted right before you, answer their comment question, then post your own question for the next person. We can discuss it in a civil manner. If it goes well, then it could be really fun. I must exercise more moderation on the personal topics comments. I got a few emails from some participants and I must agree that some of the comments were hurtful and should be handled off line...privately. Let's have fun and keep it clean...please---thank you.
Have a fantastic weekend and let's come up with some great questions to kick around the campfire!
So without further delay.....who is up for the challenge, part 13?

Good morning DC hope all is going well in DC ville. Good fellow commentators.
Im down with the scented oils (blue nile in particular) although I must admit that I do keep a bottle of cologne stashed away for emergency.
all i know is if my boss ever reads my myspace page, i'll be looking for a new job! yikes! the administration uses both myspace and facebook to kind of monitor student goings on already...

i keep my illegal activities tightly under wraps...just kiddin' :D
What up DC!!!
@Shai-at a recent graduation
@Tanyetta-going to hell
@Ms.-I think wealth IS power, but you can be powerful without it. I'll take power
@Kiki-pass
@diva-depends on the kind, but lean toward bagel

LOL.. YEAH MS.B, I asked the Sophie's choice questions a while ago and nobody wanted to answer it...but I'd say save the child...lol (that's not funny)

Which would you save, your husband/wife or your best friend?
@ lo--I'd likely save my best friend (but that's also probably why I'm not married yet) LOL
Question: Which is more important--the ability to see or the ability to hear?
@ lo-->I would rather save my best friend rather the boyfriend/husband... (LOL)

HERE IS ONE: What was your most memorable moment, thus far of 2007?
@Ms. Behaving: I'd rather see than hear. I can always just listen to the voices in my head if I need sound. (that's a joke...really)
@Lil' Ms Outspoken: Great question! Being told I'm wrong is more annoying. I'll admit I'm wrong (when I'm wrong) in a minute.
@Ray: It's a tie between April 3rd and May 10th.
Question: Family reunion on the 4th of July or everyone at your house for Thanksgiving?
@Ray :: My most memorable moment thus far of 2007....Mmm....probably reuniting with one of my best friend I haven't seen in years!! =)
@ Lo::(LOL) I LOVE that question! Definitely at my house for thanksgiving! My aunt can cook her butt off so when its time to eat, dig in people!! =)
Question:::: If You Won 10 MILLION Dollars, What Is The 1st Thing You Would Buy With Your Money Before Saving Some Of It Wisely?

Hey li'l miss - we must've pushed send @ same time: i'd pay off bills & buy as much property as possible w/ $10 million!
@my own question: proudest that i've been able to live ONE full year in NYC w/o going to a JOB. I think i'm ready for this entrepreneur/writer's life;-)...
no more ?s from me til last few are answered:-)
What a great accomplishment, Cap! Especially considering how expensive it can be to live in New York.
@Lil' Ms Outspoken: Property, definitely. Investment property and a couple of residential. The rest gets put away, with a piece reserved for creating more revenue streams (beyond the investment properties).
@Cap: Proudest accomplishment is my writing career and being able to carve a niche for myself and my voice within what is a pretty tough and inundated industry.
Question: Were you born in a hospital or at home (or somewhere other than a hospital)?
at a hospital...

Q: sugar splenda or equal?
@DC: Netflix

@DC (again): Lasagna
@Kiki: Gimme drugs, gimme drugs, gimme drugs!!!
@Ms. Behaving (again): Pot luck is DEFINITELY what's up.
@Lil' Ms. Outspoken: Drown, because with all the fried chicken in my system, the smell of my own flesh cooking might be delicious and make me hungry, which would be horrifying on a whole 'nother level.

Q: does knowing someones sign give you a determination of what kind of person they are?
@Ms.Behaving:: Of course the Pot luck Friday is fun!! (LOL) F.U.N FUN! =)
@DC:::: I believe knowing some sign DOES give you a determination of what kind a person they are because, in my opinion signs reflect your behavior. Maybe not everyone would think that, but I think it is the truth, because I am a Scorpio and a lot Scorpio's I know have bad attitude's and mainly tell it like it is. Where outspoken and opinionated. So, definitely! =)
Question:: If someone paid you a getaway trip to wherever you wanted what place would you vacation at?
hmmmmm great question young lady. I'd go to Egypt. I've always wanted to see the pyramids and experience the culture.

@DC...think I'll go with flat screen.
Question...the Electric Slide or the Monorail?
DC -- I’ll take the flat screen for $200 Alex
@ ♥lil'_ms_outspoken♥ I will have to say Tyler Perry. I was very inspired by how he went from having nothing, to having everything through his vision. In fact the way he was able to pioneer Media and turn his small time act into a household name is an inspiration. I hope to have methods of pioneering a product that makes me rich and prestigious one day.
@ ♥lil'_ms_outspoken♥ I would want to see Italy, and the old Roman coliseums.
@ kiki – The electric slide all day baby
Question – Name three things you can not survive without?
@KIKI - Definitely the Electric Slide No DOUBT in that! =)

Question:::: What's the craziest dare
you have ever done in your life?
@ Lo: BOTH! Mansion in the South and Penthouse in New York. :)

@DC:: Night Owl, most definitely (LOL)
Questions:: What was the best memory you have of your childhood years?
summers at my grandmas house
Q: suv or sportscar?
@ ♥lil'_ms_outspoken♥ when I was 14, my mom had a lil dance party going on. So I was dancing with some gal who was like oh, 4 years older than me at the time fine as all get out ohmydamn. Plus I confess I didn’t have no rythum to save my life, so here is my stupid ass being Mr. Mike (a.k.a. dance fever from The Wood) I do the air splits and split my pants at the seem lol.
@ Kiki. I need a new crib, which will generate that $$$$$.
@ D.C.—That’s a good one, hmmmm I need to ponder about that one *ponders*. I would have to say Cooley High, being an Urban Issues dork I love to watch movies that represent the urban lifestyles of African American culture. No movie does so better than Cooley High.
I would be the Tiger, fierce and cunning.
I am a little bit of both, an early bird and a nightowl.
My most favorate memory of my childhood years, I have to do a tie between two:
i) 1989 – When I had my 6th birthday party, I had a clown, 20 kids, and it was on video tape but I have no idea where that may be.
ii) Throughout my elementary school years, when me and my friends would have our birthday parties. As we look back on it now, one friend calls it the Birthday Party Circuit. Same ole people, but different person’s birthday.
Question::::What is your favorate cartoon of all times?
@DC:: Would be an (SUV) Definitely!!! VROOM VROOM!! =)
@RAY:: My favorite cartoon is Tweety Love him. Wait.....he/she is Tweety a girl or a boy!? (LOL)
Question:: How many relationships have you been in, in your life?
@li ms...oh wow. I dont think I could answer that honestly. I'm kinda up there...and all my high school and college realtionships...not to mention the ones that were very brief. I couldn't begin to have an answer for that question. Great question though..I'll let someone else answer that.
@Ray- fave cartoon of all times would be the G force.
