Rating your life and covering your toilet paper

1) Veterinarians always say people should not feed their leftover food to their pets, but one of my dogs has eaten people food for his entire 16 years of life and has no health issues. Do you feel it's okay to feed people food to pets or should you always follow the vet's instructions?

I think if it's healthy food, it's probably good for anyone, human or not, with some major caveats of course: no chocolate for dogs, etc. I also think that in general if you're going to ask (and pay) a professional you should probably pay attention to what they say.

2) Have you ever become addicted to a game (of any sort)? If so, what was it?

Oh, I get hung up on all kinds of games. For a long time, I was totally hooked on Tetris, back around 1993. I played it incessantly on the computer, with 5-1/2" discs. Loved that game. Since then, I've been hooked on The Sims (by FAR the most dangerous game for me!), Civ3, and virtually every game on Facebook, it seems like. Lately it's Pawn Stars and Gardens of Time.

3) This week is World Breastfeeding Week. Should women be able to breastfeed in public places (assuming their covered up)?

Whether or not they're covered up, breastfeeding moms should be left alone--assuming the baby is no more than a year or so old. I have seen more than one 3-4 year old kid breastfeeding: THAT is just beyond freaky.

4) It is National Clown Week. Because of my ex-husband, clowns freak me out. Have clowns ever scared you?

Nope. Clowns are not even on the top 100 list for me. My son is not a fan, though.

5) If you became a spy and could pick anyone (living or dead, real or fictional) as your partner, who would it be?

Julia Child. I'd eat well, laugh a lot, and she definitely could do the spy thing.

6) Last week my boyfriend told me this, "I get life philosophy from pop culture." Where do you (or did you) get the majority of your life philosophy?

From church, my parents, books, and life. Not necessarily in that order.

7) My local newspaper did a story over the weekend about stories taxi cab drivers hear while driving passengers. It was a "taxi cab confessions" type story. Have you ever had a deep conversation with a cab driver?

Nope. I don't talk to strangers about anything 'confessional.' Ever. {{shudder}}

8) Cottonelle has introduced a toilet paper cover. (Watch a TV commercial here.) Do you think toilet paper should be hidden or is it okay for people to see it "naked" in your bathroom?

Oh, for fuck's sake... really, I'm now just so far beyond stunned. I think I'm done buying anything from Cottonelle. How ridiculous! And, no I did NOT watch the ad.

9) The Food Network's show "Meat & Potatoes" is rated "M" for "Meat." Many movies are rated "PG" for "Parental Guidance." Some video games are rated "E" for "Everyone." What is your life rated?

"T" for "Tired."

10) What was a quick decision you once made that changed your life?

"OK, I guess I will at least talk to this particular football player..." Four years later, we were married.
