Sunday Stealing



Please join us on Friday for our brand new meme! Click on this image to check the first week!
Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We dosometimes edit the original meme, usually to make itmore relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!

Today we ripped this memeoff a blogger named Sarah at the blog Lady Mama. She states that Party Mummy (she did not provide a link) insisted she do the meme. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all us thieves!

Thursday Thunks

Welcome to the November 19th version of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!

We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want. Write about it on your blog... simple as that. Maybe you can interpret it as a picture - we don't care!
Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post. Please mention us in your post, and link back to the blog here.
Don't forget to go visit the other participants' blogs. Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks! That's what all this is about after all, isn't it? We'll have so much fun and become lifelong friends....

This week we will answer some
crazy questions brought to you by
Kimber, the color of a clown fish and the number 10595.


1. If you won a brand new house in a Dream House Giveaway would you move into it, sell it to pay the taxes and make a profit, rent it out or give it to a family member/friend who might need it?
i really don't know. if this is my dream house it would be hard to let it go. but if i had to i would donate to a charity or to a family with a disabled member.

2. Are you good at billiards?
no and i don't know the difference between billiards and pool.

3. Does anyone on the planet really want to see Levi Johnston naked in Playgirl (other than when Bristol Palin did)?
probably but as i have the first playgirl with Burt Reynolds, i can tell you they wouldn't see a what they are really looking for.

4. Is your phone ringing right now
no, it's 2 am in the morning!

5. Do you think man has eaten or tried to eat every type of animal on the face of the earth at one point or another? If not, what don't you think man has tried?
probably. yes. now would today's man try to eat a rhinoceros or an elephant...no but the the old ones, sure, it they could catch and kill it, you bet!

Avatar has been showing sneak peeks and been hyped to the max. Will you see it?
no

none....i don't like fish.

8. If you had an appointment with the doctor and all the plants in the office were dead, would you still see the doctor?
yes,, he may be as bad as i am at growing house plants...and his office people may have the same problem. i would suggest he gets rid the them as others may not be as open minded as i.

9. Have you ever seen the number 666 in a dream?
not that i remember.

10. "
At 20 years of age the will reigns, at 30 the wit, at 40 the judgment."~ Benjamin Franklin

Book Review: Ansel Adams In Color

Ansel Adams in Color by Ansel Adams: Book Cover
This has become my "I need a break" book. You know when you have read all the intense books, seen all the intense news, and you just need to get away? I can look at the photos (I love photography) and drift and/or read the commentary and imagine.

I think I love color photography the best because of hues and intensity and, maybe the reality of vision.

Hachette may have given me this book to review but they should couldn't influence my opinion...just ask any other Ansel Adams fan or just plain photography fan...they'll tell you the same, this is a beautiful book!

The Over the Top Meme

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”.

Let's go!

Today we ripped this memeoff a blogger named Linda (A good friend of ours!) at the blog Are We There Yet??. Linda changed the meme a bit and so did we. She states that Sandy of Traveling Bells passed on the meme with a blog award called the Over the Top Award. But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all us thieves!
