Tropical vs. Westland

If you ever went, then you know exactly what I'm talking about-skating. Most of my most favorite memories happened at the skating rink. We used to go two to three times a week. Everything happened there. Girls had to have a brush and a cherry-flavored lip gloss in their back pocket. Boys wore really tight jeans and had "tejas," or mullets. The music was unbelievable. Did any of you go? What do you remember the most about going skating? Did you wear hockeys or speed skates? Which one did you prefer, Tropical or Westland?

Happy Thanksgiving

Watch out all you turkey's... lol!

Hope everyone has a good Holiday.

Celebrity Experience

I had an interesting experience today. I ran into Dan Marino in the movie theater buying popcorn in the middle of the day.

So, what celebrity experiences have you had?

How old were you?

Ok. Here's how you play: Each question must start with "How old were you..." then you ask anything you like. If you answer, you ask the next question.

How old were you the first time you went to Disney World?

Ruined Songs

There's a new website called, "ruinedsongs.com." The premise of the site is for people to write the names of songs that have been ruined for them for whatever reason and why. One girl wrote that she could no longer listen to some Mariah Carey song because it was her and an ex's "song." Another person told about how a song was ruined for him because he performed it at a school talent show and was ridiculed for his singing. Although the writing on the site is long-winded, it does pose an interesting question:

What song can you not bear to listen to and why?

Who would play YOU?

If they were to make a movie about your life, who would play you? If you have no idea, then suggest who would play one of us.

Home Remedies

My grandmother had a home remedy for everything. No matter what problem I had, Abuela had the solution. For example, if my foot would fall asleep, she would make me "agua de berenjena," or eggplant water. Yes, you read that right. She would boil an eggplant and have me drink the water to improve my circulation. If I was tired, she'd pull down my bottom eyelids to see if there were enough veins on my eyes, and if there weren't, she'd have me drink beets with orange juice, to cure my anemia. Even my eyecolor was "given" to me by her. She would squeeze one lemon drop into each eye every once in awhile, to make sure they would be as bright and clear as they could be. Did any of these remedies work? I can't be sure, but I'm a very healthy person today. Gracias, Abuela. Te quiero y te extraño.

So, now for the question. What home remedies did you have to endure?

Slogans

Here are a few:

Just do it (Nike)
Tastes great, less filling (Miller Lite)
Where's the beef? (Wendy's)

We've heard them and remembered them. Slogans are everywhere. If you had a slogan, what would it be?

Convince Me

I have traveled all over the United States, but I've never been out of the country. There are certain places I have in mind that I would love to visit, but never have. I've heard stories from a lot of you about your travels abroad. Which of these places do you think I should put at the top of my list?

What are you listening to?

Yes, this is my favorite question. Everytime I post this, I discover some really good music. So, let me know, what are you listening to?
