We're taking bets that you can do it anywhere...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everything is going well in your neck of the woods. I am preparing to head to Orlando for 9 days. 5 days for work/conference and 4 days for fun and relaxation. It should be fun times. I will be blogging sporadically, but I will be checking in. I have a few fun questions this week regarding some current issues in my world. I hope you enjoy. Please invite others to join in and enjoy the fun!!!

A. People seem to enjoy sex in public areas. Have you ever had sex in public and if so what was the thrill?

B. What is the last thing you changed your mind about and it affected others?

C. Would you rather be challenged by a teacher to think differently or challenged by a teacher with complex problems that have answers (ex. Math, etc)?

Answers:

A. I have not had sex in public, but I have outdoors and at work. There really wasn't a threat of getting caught any of the times though. I am not sure the thrill of getting away with something is that worth it. I would obsess about getting caught.

B. I went into a judicial case thinking that I already knew the outcome and by the end of the meeting I was completely changed and was able to change my thinking for the better of the student. That is why you need to go into it conduct meetings with an open mind and hear the student before deciding.

C. I love to be challenged to think differently. I feel if I am taught how to do something I will be able to do that one thing again, but if I am taught to think differently I can do many things from a better place.

CONGRATS TO FAITHFUL READERS & COMMENTERS TERI & LIZ on their arrival of their baby girl Courtney. Teri made the announcement on his blog earlier this morning. It was a little early, but everyone is healthy and that is what is important. Baby pool be damned. :)

We're taking bets that fabulous is in the eye of the beholder...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I am sorry that I was MIA the last couple of days, but I have been very busy and the blog had to suffer. Hopefully I am back with a new sense of fun and you are all able to enjoy the questions that I put forth. Have a great time and as always invite others to answer!!!

A. What is one vacation destination that many people think is fabulous, but which you personally have no desire to ever visit (or revisit)?

B. What is one fabulous 80's fashion that you wish would come back?

C. What is the most fabulous thing that you currently own?

Answers:

A. I have absolutely no desire to go to Paris. I am sure that one day I will and I know it is one of the most romantic cities in the world, but something about it makes me not want to go there. I don't know if it is just France in general or Paris.

B. I truly enjoyed the cut sweatshirt look/off shoulder shirts from Flashdance. Women who can pull it off should go for that look.

C. The most fabulous thing that I own is TiVo because I love TV and I don't have to be around to tape any shows I want to watch. I can watch an episode while I am eating breakfast or at 4 in the morning. It is great because I don't have to be home when something is on to make sure I watch it. Like LOST last night which was super wicked awesome. Oh yeah.

We're taking bets that everyone needs help...

Hello WTBT readers!!! Spring is less than a week away and I hope that everyone is excited. It almost reached 70 degrees here in New England. Of course they are talking about potential snow this weekend, but that is what you have to love about the Northeast. I have some interesting questions about assisting you in life. I hope that everyone enjoys and invites others to participate.

A. If you could have someone do one thing/chore for you daily that would ease your life what would it be?

B. If you could pick any animated/cartoon character to be your personal assistant, who would you pick and why?

C. If you had to pick one job as a fast food employee what would it be and why?

Answers:

A. I would definitely have someone cook dinner for me every night. That way I wouldn't be able to make some of the bad choices that I usually do and everything would probably be healthy.

B. I would choose Droopy Dog. Mainly because he makes me laugh and when he finally gets mad he can take care of any problem. I love his voice too. "You know what... That makes me mad." Hysterical.

C. I would be the Fry Guy. I think it is an art to making the perfect fries and adding the right amount of salt along with cooking them just the right time. I don't trust the beeping take me out now sound that the fryalator makes.

We're taking bets that in 2007 we need some open-mindedness...

Open Letter to all who feel being gay is immoral

Dear General Pace, Tim Hardaway, most clergy, and others who struggle with gays in the world,
I am proud to be a heterosexual male. There is nothing wrong with that. At the same time if I was a homosexual male I would have every right to be proud of that fact too. It is who I am and not a lifestyle choice. You didn't choose to be heterosexual and neither did they choose to be homosexual. You are warranted your opinion, but I truly believe that you do not under stand the facts.

The homosexual community is here to stay. They have always been here to stay. Whether you agree with it or not this is a fact. I think that you now need to deal with that fact instead of pushing your values on them. When has someone ever pushed the homosexual agenda on the hetrosexuals? Marriage? Do you hear the gay community complaining that most straight marriages end in divorce so we should take it away from them? Equal Rights? Well women and the black community are still working to achieve that. Are they immoral for wanting equal rights? Just because they seem different than you doesn't make them wrong or not deserving of everything you take for granted.

Immoral means "contrary to established moral principles." The only thing that has been has been established in the United States is we are the melting pot and are accepting of everyone. Front page news today is Britney Spears in rehab and Anna Nicole Smith's death. The fact that we are obsessed with that is morally wrong as a society, but it is accepted by today's standards. I am not telling anyone that they have to orgies with men and women to be accepting. I am just saying that you need to be open-minded.

The gay community is just as loving and caring as the straight community. They have the right to everything that straight people do. If marriage was sacred then over 50% of them wouldn't end in divorce. If children where only raised well by straight people then over 50% of our children wouldn't be medicated. Please try and look at the big picture. Dick Cheney doesn't say a word about the gay community because someone in his life is gay and has had a positive effect on him. Is that what it's going to take? I truly hope not. Maybe just a little open-mindedness from our leaders. Heck if we could get that maybe we wouldn't be in this war, but that is a topic for another time.

WTBT Volume 21 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* you will be happy when someone says, "Go Left" and no sings "To the Left, To the Left."

Answers:

A. I think I would be a Giant Sea Turtle because they live a long time and can travel the entire planet through the water. The things they must see would have to be incredible.

B. Fenway Park. I remember the first time I went with my father and every time I walk up the tunnel and see the Green Monster it makes me excited and want to be 7 years old again.

C. I think I would be 25. I feel and think I act 25.
