BEING IMPTRSSED NOW

Need for content and a nice meme hiatus leads me to once again blog This-or-That Tuesday.

1. Large or small family? Is this preference or fact? I am an only , but my extended family, those directly decended from my paternal grandparents and the spouses of those direct decendents, number over sixty I believe. I've lost count. I don't mind that, and wouldn't have minded a larger in-house family. But such is life.

2. Potato chips or pretzels? Pretzels, preferably Rold Gold sticks. Mmmm.

3. House or apartment? Home sweet house.

4. Zebras or giraffes? I don't wanna grow up, I'm an et cetera, et cetera. The millions of toys at Toys'R Us that I can play with make the long-necked ones easy winners.

5. Candles or potpourri? Potpourri smell good. Potpourri win.

6. Flowers or trees? Trees big. Trees win.

7. Right or left-handed? Since I'm right-handed, I guess right-handed is the answer. Okay.

8. Model trains or dolls/stuffed animals? Hmm...I guess the latter in a close contest. I had a model train briefly...well, actually I had it for years, but there was no room to keep it set up and it sat in a box in my closet until it was sold at a yard sale. But such is life.

9. Comedy or drama? Drama, because it's more rewarding when done to perfection. Actually, you could debate that endlessly...I'll say drama if for no other reason than comedy is in such a horrible state right now on television.

10. Thought-provoking question of the week: The city of Boston has recently banned smoking in all restaurants and bars. Would you want to see such a law passed in your city/town/country, or not? I have never smoked and will never smoke but I disagree with such bans. Smoking should be outlawed in public places such as courthouses and schools where people often have no choice but to be, but a restaurant should have every right to accomidate smokers. If enough people protest, then the establishment would banish the practice. If not, then apparently not enough people mind the smokers. No one has an absolute right to go to a bar or eatery, and such a law goes too far.
