FQF: Lifelines
Posted in Mixed Bag and tagged with Food, Kansas, Reading, Shopping, Television on August 20, 20101. If you were on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, whose names would you submit as your three lifelines, and what subjects would each person be your go-to person for?
Let’s see…I’d definitely put my dad on the list for all things mathematical/scientific. I’d also choose my college roommate, Dana, as she’s familiar with a ton of movies (and a ton of other things…she’s well-read as well) that I’m not. I’d also want to pick someone who’s good with pop culture, but I can’t think of anyone off the top of my head that would be a good fit.
2. What food grosses you out just by its texture?
Grits. Definitely don’t get them.
3. How long would it take you, via the quickest means available, to get to the place of your birth from where you are right now?
If someone chartered me a flight and had it waiting for me at the airport right now, I think I could be there in 3 hours. I think it’d take just over 2 hours to fly direct to Wichita (not that I’ll ever know that!). Driving it takes 20 hours.
4. From what store is it impossible for you to emerge empty-handed?
Target, for sure. There is always something that I “need.”
5. What do you usually use to mark your place in a book?
A piece of paper from a notepad. It doubles as a place for me to record quotes.

I would like to say that I have gone into Target for exactly one thing and come out of Target with just that one thing – TWICE!
Yep, exactly TWO times in my entire life, I’ve been able to only get the one thing I went there for – both times I was picking up photographs. Yeah, fine, maybe it’s cheating a bit since the photo counter is right at the front of the store and on the other side from the cafe (oooooh that popcorn smell – they put something in that to lure me in, I swear!), but still, I crossed the threshold and left with just the one thing on two separate occasions!
:-D

Oh Target, how you purge us from our hard earned cash lol!
I have the same problem.

Love me some grits…I suppose you just gotta be born with the palate for them! I am with you on Target. :)

1. I would NEVER be on Who wants to be a millionaire…\
2. Food-cooked okra
3. I am just 6 hours from my hometown. When my mother was alive and I was living elsewhere, it was 8 hours from my front porch to hers.
4. I am with you Target is not my store.
5. I love bookmarks…have many floating around my apartment, even in “surprise places”.

Grits, cooked well, are my FAVORITE. I’ll eat your portion. I am not a Target fan either. Are we just total opposites? :)
