We're taking bets that it's not the job but the money...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that May is treating you all well. It has been an interesting month for me. I usually love change, but there is a lot of crazy stuff going on in my world. I have a few questions about jobs that I think you will enjoy. Get friends to answer or respond to other answers. Have fun and have a great weekend!!!

A. What minimum wage job would you do if the pay wasn't what you would consider low?

B. What is the grossest job you can imagine? How much money per year would it take for you to do that job?

C. What company would you like to be the CEO/President/Top Dog for?

Answers:

A. I would be a cashier at any supermarket or department store. It is okay work that just doesn't get a lot of money. I enjoyed my time working at Caldor. (Northeast Department store that died in the late 90's)

B. I think it would be coroner because you have to see someone at their worst. Especially people who have been murdered. I do not think there is any amount of money that would get me to work as a coroner.

C. I would love to be the president of any college in the United States. I love higher education and I think that I could turn an underperforming school around in seven years.

We're taking bets that information is precious...

Here are three items of importance for everyone.

* If you watch women's feet when they stand they almost always point away from each other. If you look at a guy's feet they are usually pointed straight ahead. That is a weird phenomenon.

* WNEC lacrosse is in the 3rd Round of the NCAA Div. 3 playoffs today. It is amazing they are 17-0 and #3 in the country. Pray for them today.

* Everyone has probably heard the God Grant Me Serenity poem. It is true but sometimes your life is affected by things you cannot change and finding the serenity is hard. Sometimes you want to just punch something and that should be okay too. I know that the poem isn't saying you should hold your emotions in, but too often we are told to "calm down" or "just relax" and maybe that isn't the answer. I say you should let it out as long as you don't hurt yourself or someone else. That should be the best way. On a funny note someone should get me this mug for Christmas or Hanakuh.

We're taking bets that you love answers to life's mysteries...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone is having an absolutely stupendous day. I am having some toner issues and it is making me cranky. I will survive though. Here are a few fun questions for you. I hope you enjoy. Invite others and share the fun!!!

A. If you had to choose between a LifeSaver candy, a BlowPop, a DumDum and a Jolly Rancher (assume each could be your favorite flavor) which would you choose and why?

B. What is the one question that you have never asked the opposite sex that you want answered?

C. What is one sentence or question that you could ask that will keep conversation rolling at a party?

Answers:

A. I would be a DumDum lollipop of almost any flavor because they are super awesome!!! You cannot beat the crazy flavors they have.

B. How do you wear heels that are more than an inch? I feel weird if I try on a pair of work boots with a higher heel.

C. What do you think this thing is on my neck? or If there were no consequences who at this party would you sleep with?

We're taking bets that you need to know these things...

* Taking away positive things as a way to deter negative things has historically never worked. Sadly people who are not involved in in trying to control the negative things are the ones who make decisions. That is usually the case in most jobs and it is sad. No matter how much you feel valued by an organization there are going to be decisions that affect you negatively and you can do nothing about it. :(

* The 5 second rule is alive and well. Thanks to Clemson University we have found out that most people use this with their food. Pretty cool huh?

* Connections with people come and go. Most times they are a result of a chance meeting and you feel that if you had more time something special could have resulted. A friendship, a romantic relationship or even a business partner. Other times you lose a connection after knowing someone for a while. It could be a romantic relationship, a friendship where someone moves or even a student who graduates. The spark is gone or distance has occurred or someone else has replaced you.

Ever year around this time I wonder who I will still be connected with after graduation. It doesn't matter how much time you spent with the other people they will move on. It is sad, but at the same time should make you cherish that time you had even if it was just simple conversations. You can always hope that there was a spark or a deep connection that will allow you to at the very least be friends forever. I hope that every year knowing only a select few will fall into the friends forever category.

We're taking bets that it was great to be in elementary school...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone in the Northeast is enjoying this gorgeous spring day. It is super fabulous here at Quinnipiac. I have a few fun questions for everyone. Things about being in elementary school. I think that everyone had a little bit of fun then. At least I hope so. Get others to answer. The more the merrier.

A. What was your favorite subject in elementary school and why?

B. What was your favorite lunch in elementary school?

C. If you could see one of your elementary school teachers again, who would it be and why?

Answers:

A. I loved loved loved when we got to go to the library. I was a huge book person so that was special time since we didn't go every day.

B. Well I loved fish sticks or the fishwich. Any day that was on the menu I was going to get it. I really think it was the tartar sauce. I still love it to this day.

C. I would love to see Mr. Horne again and see how he was doing. I had him for 4th grade math and again in 6th grade. He was such a fun teacher and taught me a lot. He actually helped my brother succeed in school too and I would love to say thanks.

We're taking bets that sometimes 3 things are enough...

3 interesting and potentially important things

1. Older cars tend to suck the life (and money) out of you. It seems impossible that you could spend almost $800 on Saturday and have the car back in the shop on Wednesday. :(

2. Being the underdog and winning is a fantastic feeling. No matter how old you are you will always remember those moments in disbelief that it actually happened. Maybe we will win again today.

3. Even if you think that you are doing the right thing there are tons of other people who don't agree. How you succeed in life is how well you handle that. Change what you can and get past what you can't.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

We're taking bets that you enjoy games...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that things are going well where you are. I am about to enter the BUSY ZONE at my campus. May Weekend starts tonight (yes it is April) and there will be a ton of work. My car currently has no muffler attached or a catalytic converter so there are a lot of challenges in my life right now. I hope you enjoy these questions. They are very simple and a little bit fun. Invite others and you can post anonymously.

A. What was your favorite game as a child?

B. What childhood game do you think that as an adult you would be a champion?

C. What is dumbest thing you have done lately?

Answers:

A. I was a big fan of Hide and Go Seek. I loved to hide in the most intricate spaces that were close to the person seeking. It was a rush when they were right next to you, but they didn't know where you were.

B. I think that I would be awesome at Memory. I loved the game as a kid, but I never did that great. I think I have greatly improved my memory skills and would dominate others.

C. Yesterday, I spaced out while conducting an interview and asked the same question that one of my colleagues had already asked. What I doofus I am!

We're taking bets that there are interesting things to know...

In a new weekly post I will be doing 3 interesting things to know on Wednesdays. Some of them will be funny, some will be serious, and some will be odd. All of the things will be interesting and many of them will be life changing.

1. Water is needed for a duck race on a creek. Without water it is a duck drop and it is a little muddy. Please pray for an hour of rain for me today.

2. Rosie O'Donnell is leaving The View and Barbara Walters is probably jumping for joy. Rosie was great, but at the same time completely crazy. She needs to stick to comedy and not social commentary.

3. The classesUSA and Mortgage ads with people dancing that you see on websites are creepy and very distracting. What the hell is going on with that? They make me not want to click on your site for fear of seeing more bizarre dancing.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Kate Beckinsale was in a stinker of a movie so I thought she might need a pick me up. She was great in Underworld and Serendipity, but the rest of her movies have not really done too well. I think she should do more romantic comedies. She has a great voice and I think she could say my name very well. What? I love when British women say Gregory. :)

We're taking bets that you always have to be prepared...

Last night I was felled by a stomach issue that felt like giving birth. Now I am sure that the millions of women that read this blog are going to dispute that, but it really hurt. I lied down for a few minutes and the next thing I know I am being woken up by Security wondering if I am okay. I missed responsibilities that I had and thankfully I work with some of the greatest people around who picked up my slack. I ended up making myself sick and felt 1000 times better. It was the craziest thing.

We're taking bets that you can be picky...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that everyone is enjoying the weather currently no matter where you are. We still have a little lingering rain and clouds here in Southern New England. I have a few simple questions for you that I think you will enjoy. Have a fun time and ask others to join.

A. Almost every kid has an issue with some food or how something should be prepared. What was your thing about food as a kid?

B. Everyone has a little OCD. What has to be exactly in it's place either in your office or at home?

C. Are you happy Sanjaya was voted off American Idol? Upset? Didn't care?

Answers:

A. I could not stand when my food touched. My parents had to get me plates with the compartments because I would not eat it if something touched another food. It seems very strange to me now.

B. I need to have my magic 8 ball put back in the same place. I like where it is and it is easily accessible so when people pick it up and then don't put it back in the right place I get antsy.

C. I am very happy even though I have not watched American Idol much this season. It is a talent contest and it clearly was being compromised because it became a screw with American Idol contest.

* Vince Young of the Titans will most likely get hurt this season because of the Madden video game curse.
* if your bidet is smoking you should get checked.
* even if you don't like basketball it will be fun watching the Clippers and Warriors fight for the 8th playoff spot.
* having recently seen a baby rhino this is even more of an outrage.
* poachers should be sent into a high populated carnivorous animal area without any weapons and see how they fair.

WTBT Volume 30 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

We're taking bets that tragedy can bring out even crazier people...

A sad tragedy has occurred on the campus of Virginia Tech and it makes me appreciate the Security officers here at QU. Stopping someone who is trying to do evil can be very hard and my heart goes out to every one of the victims. With that being said there are some people out there who are trying to capitalize on this tragedy.

Phillip Van Cleave you are an evil little man. He is the president of the Virginia Civil Defense League and he released a statement immediately after the Virginia Tech tragedy. MSNBC.com ran an excerpt from his statement on his site.

Excerpts from Van Cleave's e-mail with the subject title: "VA-ALERT: Gun-control claims lives at Virginia Tech"
"As most of you know VCDL has been pushing hard to change Virginia law to allow college and university students with concealed handgun permits to be able to carry a gun on campus for self-defense. ... We could not get the bills out of subcommittee."
"The General Assembly turned a deaf ear to allowing college and university students to be able to protect themselves and here we are today :-( "
"ENOUGH OF ELITIST BALONEY FROM COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES! If just ONE of those victims had been armed, this most probably would have turned out very differently".

Just what we need more guns on campus and maybe we should give free alcohol to minors. Kindergardeners have a chance to be threatened so teachers should carry concealed Glocks as well. Instead of 33 people dead there would have been 100 people dead if there were concealed weapons all over Virginia Tech. I am in support of the 2nd amendment, but this guy is freaking ridiculous. You have the right to bear arms because in the 1700s you had a better chance of being attacked by a bear or coyote or the British. That isn't the case today. Educational institutions are not a place for handguns and freely allowing them would just cause chaos. Mr. Van Cleave if you ever want to spend a Friday night on a college campus I will show you what it is like, but leave your gun at home.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

Hottie Halley Berry has been heating up screens since Boomerang. She is looking as beautiful as ever in a new movie with Bruce Willis. She just hit 40 and I don't think her hotness will ever tone down. This Oscar winner didn't even let Catwoman and getting kissed by Adrian Brody hurt her career.

WTBT Volume 29 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

* sometimes it is not smart to insult a police officer or just about anyone in authority to their face.
* even if you don't like the Mets you have to be rooting for Tom Glavine to get to 300 wins.
* hopefully Don Imus will drift into obscurity and continues to help children with cancer on his ranch in New Mexico
* it kills you that crazy old men like Don Imus marry beautiful young women that are at least 20 years older than the women.
* Kobe scoring 50 points probably means the Lakers are going to lose.
* getting even with an ex-girlfriend can go a little too far.
* the guy should have done it old school and just wrote her name and phone number in bar bathroom stalls.
* Karl Rove's missing e-mails do not shock anyone who has half a brain.
* Karl Rove is as dirty as they come.
* the new set of the Daily Show is pretty schnazzy.
* in the wake of Kurt Vonnegut's passing more people from the current generation should read

We're taking bets that you were defined by something...

Hello WTBT readers!!! I hope that Spring is treating you well. Northern New England may be getting some more snow while it looks like rain for the next five days here in Southern New England. Man I miss Florida and it's nice weather. Well I have a distraction for all of you not in good weather currently. Thursday's questions!!! I hope you enjoy and invite others to join!! Have fun!

A. What event do you feel defined your childhood? (Like the attack of Pearl Harbor defined people from age 70 and older)

B. What experience or event defines you now?

C. What 3 things do you think of when you think "spectacular"?

Answers:

A. For me it has to be the explosion of the Challenger. Back then everyone watched the shuttle being launched and school came to a standstill when it exploded. It seemed like it was a big joke or we were all dreaming. It was the first realization that we had as kids that bad things really happen in real life.

B. My first job and meeting my students. I knew at that moment I was meant to work with college students and would for the rest of my life.

C. Beach Sunset
Fenway Park
Full Moon on a clear night

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

After spending a week in Orlando I have decided to name a truly deserving hottie, Minnie Mouse. She has stayed youthful all these years and has only had one man in her life. I appreciate that she keeps out of the tabloids especially since she is such a high profile celebrity. :)

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.

WTBT Volume 22 Series 2007...

We're taking bets that...

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...

We're taking bets that you want to be a Hero...

Open Letter to the writers of Heroes,

Dear Heroes Writers,

You have me hooked. I cannot let Monday go by without watching your wonderful television goodness. You have almost made me switch my allegiances with TiVoing 24, but I have not switched yet and you are relegated to the VCR.

Thank you for making an intriguing story with plausible mysteries and exciting backgrounds. I know that people with special powers isn't the most plausible thing, but if Buddhist's can float in Tibet anything is possible. I appreciate that you continue to give answers at a rapid pace while asking just as many questions.

I have a favor to ask of you. Could you please not try to be too confusing? I love LOST and think that it has made a wonderful comeback, but it tried too hard in Season 2. Keep some of the stuff simple. I understand that Peter Petrelli is our Superman. Just don't over do it with him. We don't need Clark Kent disguises. We will watch your show for years if you continue to keep it simple. Make the villians complicated and allow the heroes to deal with their struggles with daily life. Thank you for making this TV season along with Friday Night Lights as enjoyable as ever.

* it was great to see Manny in training camp earlier than expected.

We're taking bets that Hottie of the Week...

B. Going backwards really fast. Basically that means that if I am on a roller coaster it can only go forward. Backward just is so unnatural and you cannot see where you are going. Plus it makes my tummy feel funny. :)

C. Absolutely!!! Usually it was my sister when we were kids as I was the mean older brother. Though I think my favorite was when I scared one of my RAs at my first job because he thought no one was in the building and surprise I was there. Hysterical. I actually think he peed a little. I know that's gross, but really funny.

We're taking bets that it is time to get LOST...

Finally the break is over. LOST is back on TV tonight with a recap episode and then the real thing at 10 pm ET. I for one cannot wait. There are so many questions that they promise to answer this season and for 16 weeks I will be glued to my TV or at the very least make sure it is TiVo'd. There are five questions that I have that must be answered in order for me to stay a fan:

1. How was Locke paralyzed? - They have teased us with this many times, but we have never found out and it is starting to piss me off. I have heard this is the time that we will find out and I hope that it delivers.

2. What the freak is wrong with Desmond? - Desmond was always a little bit weird. Even when we first met him running with Jack he was bizarre, but now he has crossed the line. Is he psychic or did he travel forward in time? What is going on our little English buddy?

3. When will we find out the fate of Walt & Michael? I know that you cannot really use the word fate when it comes to LOST, but they went sailing away and Styx wasn't with them. So where have they been and will they come back to the island? Wouldn't it be fun to find them with a posse of rescuers?

4. Why does the monster kill some and not others? Really the monster never should have killed Eko. He was a BA and BAs just don't die like that. Ask Chuck Norris. We really need the monster to be better explained because I think that it is controlled by something or someone.

5. How does Libby seem tied to everyone? Am I the only one who wonders about her? She seems like she is very pivotal to the entire story. Desmond and Hurley have definite connections, but it seems like there is more. Is she Desmond's ex-girlfriend's sister? That is what I think or she is from Dharma. Yep remember them? There is something fishy with her and I want to know what.

BONUS: What is up with the foot? - Giant, 4 toed foot. What the hell is that all about? I understand that LOST is about mysteries. Look at the title, but who spills that little nugget and then forgets about it? I love LOST but I hope you can give me a little satsifaction with these answers because I am ready for more questions if I have those answers.
