FRIDAY NIGHT SURVEY TIME, DOGGERS!!Submitted by Bill Sue Angel ... on August 26, 2016 - 7:57pm
Yay! Hi Bill, I wanna play!
Submitted by AmyandSophia on August 26, 2016 - 8:44pm.
I love the Friday night surveys, they are so much fun! Thanks for starting them back up, ya ol Rummy, you! LOL! Wink.
Who was Howdy Doody? A silly looking puppet with red hair! I think! I was too young then to remember Howdy.
Create a new ice cream sundae! What would be in it? Oh yum! But I am a purist when it comes to an ice cream sundae, so it has to be vanilla ice cream with hot fudge, maybe some caramel, definitley some pineapple, and whipped cream:-)
What was the last meal you missed? Why? LUNCH! I had 3 horses I had to get prepped and ready for a vet visit, and I also had a couple who came over to look at a couple of blind mares I am fostering. They got adopted!! Anyway, I was talking to those adopters, then ahd to bathe and groom out my 3 going to the vet, tehn ran for the shower and into the truck and off to the vet! Got home about 3:30, grabbed food! I was starving by then!
What's your fav comic strip? Peanuts
Finish the thought: The world needs more child and horse advocates.
What is a goal you have before the end of the year? To have several of my 3 and 4 year olds well under saddle and ready to compete in the spring.
Is there some advice you wish you had taken? YES! Lots of times I wish I had followed the advice of someone else. Would have been easier to!
What was the first movie to give you nightmares? Jaws. I hated that movie. I still hate that movie! I don't do scary movies, ever.
List three things on your bucket list. Ride my horses in the Grand Entry Parade at the rodeo in our town. I would love to have all of them being ridden and flying the ranch colors. That would be spectacular:-). I also would love to go overseas, to Ireland and to New Zealand. Last, I want to write a childrens book about the adventures of all of my horses. How they came to me, what shape they were in, and how they overcame all obstacles to be the best they could be.
What is your perfect meal? Actually, I love Cjipotle, so I would have to say my perfect meal is white rice, black beans, barbacoa meat, pico and medium salsa, sour cream, cheese, and guacamole:-) Mmmm...now that makes me hungry!
Who was your childhood hero? LOL! Well, Little Joe on the Ponderosa of course! Actually, anyone who could ride horses really well, I loved watching that. Looked up to a few people, but never really had a "hero".
What is the best feeling? That place you go in your heart when your little deaf grandgirls give you big hugs, and tell you that you are their very best friend ever. That is the best feeling, ever.
What is the worst piece of clothing in your closet? My ratty old barn clothes. I will wear t-shirts all the way out, until they are frayed and nasty and torn. And then I wear them for a little longer, just to make sure they are all used up!
Thanks Unca Bill!!
Amy and Sophia
Awww...!

Your "best feeling" is great!!
I forgot about my "dog clothes". Those are the ones I would never ever wear in public. But for walking/training the dogs, they were perfect! lol When they became even too disgusting for that, they'd go into the trash. They weren't suitable to donate to anything except the trash...
Olivia
LOL over "doggie clothes!" We have MANY, annnd
Submitted by ArchimedesMommy on August 27, 2016 - 11:05pm.
like you said...BEYOND donating! I love to donate old clothes/ shoes, etc....and hate to throw 'em away, but yeaaa...sometimes
ya just HAVE to, huh? And you didn't say it, but I'm sure that you've found that destroyed
clothing can also make great cleaning rags, eh? :-)

Who was Howdy Doody? It's Howdy Doo-dy time! It's Howdy Doo-dy time! That scary looking puppet with the red hair dressed in the cowboy outfit.
Create a new ice cream sundae! What would be in it? How 'bout a raspberry white chocolate sundae with lemon zest?
What was the last meal you missed? Why? Breakfast because I'm bad and I usually skip it and just have coffee. But hey, at least I cut out the cigarettes that I used to have with that coffee! I'm practically a health nut!
What's your fav comic strip? I don't read them anymore, but I used to love Brenda Starr and Doonesbury.
Finish the thought: The world needs more compassion. It would solve many of the world's problems.
What is a goal you have before the end of the year? I'm livin' the dream, Bill! I have no more goals (not, technically, true...)
Is there some advice you wish you had taken? Don't marry him. Oh well. Live and learn.
What was the first movie to give you nightmares? The original 'Straw Dogs' with Dustin Hoffman was one of the most terrifying movies I had ever seen. I don't remember if it was "the first", but it certainly was the most memorable.
List three things on your bucket list. Bora Bora, a home in the Asheville area, more dogs!
What is your perfect meal? Something very tasty with a nice wine pairing and great company. I get it almost every night! :D
Who was your childhood hero? The Black Stallion and my Dad.
What is the best feeling? Being loved.
What is the worst piece of clothing in your closet? All that stuff that shrank in there! How the heck does that keep happening??
Thanks Mr Bill! This was a good 'un!
Olivia
Lol! You crack me up:-)

Submitted by rottigirl on August 30, 2016 - 8:42am.
About the Exorcist! The scene where she threw up as she turned her head around. But, you should watch it again. We recently found it on demand and laughed our heads off! Special effects have come a long way...!
Olivia
LOL! I *should* try watching it again annnnd
Submitted by ArchimedesMommy on August 31, 2016 - 10:18pm.
again until it no longer "HAUNTS" me!! LOL! Hubbs used to tease me about how scared I got around
Halloween time, when this one channel kept showing commercials for it---even the THEME MUSIC scares me! LOL! :)
Interesting sidebar----I grew up near Washington, DC --(-where the movie takes place). The famous, LONGGG stairway
that one of the priests (and others?) fall down to their death are there. My Dad and his wife used to run up and down
those stairs. Also, many teenagers liked to go there late at night and hang out on them because of the movie....I would
NEVER have gone ...no wayyy!! LOL!

Olivia
I LOL at "creepy puppet !!" annd....how COOL
Submitted by ArchimedesMommy on September 4, 2016 - 12:09am.
that you met Walter Concrite! That must've been so exciting!
The closest I got to that was wayyyy back in 1982, my Dad took us to NYC, and
since his second wife had been in "the biz", we got to watch the CBS ( I think?) live
evening newscast . Charles Kuralt was filling in for Walter Concrite that evening,
and it was VERY cool to watch from the control booth (?) ...or whatever it's called. I
WISH we had photos of it, but either they didn't allow my Dad to take piks, OR he
just didn't think to take any. Anyhoo,....what an awesome experience! :-) How did you get
to meet Walter Concrite?
