I'm guessing:
Starbucks
Belle
a thousand
they are made in prisons
fruitcake
New Years Day
Of course, I don't believe I got one right.LOL
Walmart
U.S.S. Minnow
a thousand (or never if you literally spell the word "number")
invented by a woman
spam
mother's day (but that could be just my kids)
I actually think yours are all right Helen, but thought I would go out on a limb.
it's cracking.
Here are my guesses:
A school
Mary
a thousand
All created in the 20th century
Fruitcake
Mother's Day
Where they were born
Lets Party, ain't that what they are for since I can't catch fish.
One Thousand, I think cause I got tired of counting and spelling.
Invented by women, of course
Honey, but in my house nothing has a chance to spoil cause we scarf it down too quickly.
Father's Day (let dear ole Dad pay for the call)
The Ocean
SS Minnow
One Thousand
I have NO idea
Cheese
Mother's Day...of course
Cheryl,
You have answered 5 of the 6 questions correctly!
Anyone care to guess which one is wrong?
Hint: No one has guessed that question correctly yet.
Of course, I wouldn't want this to be an obession with anyone!
Okay Alex, I'll say question number three for $500.
Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeppppp! Wrong!
Question #3 is the only one that everyone has answered correctly.
But you gain a point in my book for tenacity!
one hundred AND one, that is if we are allowed to count the and.
hummmm...you aren't suppose to give honey to children under 12 months because of the risk of botulism...so it's probably Rich's answer,cheese. Fuitcake turns into a brick before it spoils. Is Spam really food?
I'm sure HONEY is a correct answer cause I read it once so move on to a different one. I agree that spam isn't real food but neither is fruitcake in my opinion.
I figured out Linda's clue so I know which one I guessed wrong. Go back and read the clue she gave.
da boat question?
I'll take tenacity although I have heard it referred to as something else.
the first question.
Debbie,
The first one (believe it or not) IS correct. Even though you live far away, most don't.
Since boating is an obsession in these parts, I will guess again and say Obsession.
1. home (where they were born) i got this one beat by at least 1900 miles I think.
2. a womans name? (The one Cheryl has worng!)
3. one thousand (Piece of cake)
4. women invented
5. Honey
6. Fathers Day (Pre Cell Phones, now they just call on the cell phone I pay for does that count?) Sure seems like more people should call home for Mothers day, so maybe this is the one Cheryl has wrong. Plus women live longer so more calls are made to MOM. I think it is Mothers Day.. It is one of the parent days for sure.
Cheryl - you are a clever one to notice I posted a "clue". However that's not an accurate description since I really posted the actual answer! So here are the answers:
1) Where they were born
2) Obsession
3) One Thousand
4) Invented by women
5) Honey
6) Father's Day (collect call being the operative word here)
Thanks to everyone for guessing.
And, stay safe in today's weather!
FYI, 60 and sunny in NorCal todayI will try to stay safe in the weather her, brrr, i need a light jacket!
Sorry, couldn't help myself, I have had two Diet Dews already today. Must be the caffine, or the stress of the job!
Sounds like somebody needs a foot up his tush, doesn't it? Done with love, of course.
I'm soooooooooooo happy for you, Billy boy. Sure hope you don't catch a chill!
Be sure to enjoy that weather before Calie-fornie-i-eh experiences another earthquake or mudslide or forest fire or another Donner dinner party.
I guess I'll be happy here within 50 miles of my hometown.
Bill, Bill, Bill.......I see a doctored picture in your future.
I can excuse you because of the diet dew, but these other folks, they're hardcore man.
They'll play dixie chicks music outside of your home 24/7, speakers blaring until you crack.
just lookin' out for ya California boy.
Bill, it got warmer than that here today but you didn't hear me bragging. I'm trying real hard to be nice.
Wow, I didn't realize that i would invoke such wrath for making fun of a little snowy cold weather. I Thought everyone liked the change of seasons?
Cheryl I am trying my best to move you at least one notch down Steve's list. You keep being nice, cause you are naturally nice!
I apologize, it wasn't me talking it was the Diet Dew doing strange things to me. Based on what I have learned from Gavin Newsome (another politician that Steve would like) you can pretty much do or say anything, as long as you apologize for it and let everyone know you will seek help for your issue, as soon as you have time, or as soon as someone reminds you that you said you would seek help. So, I apologize, and I will try to cut back on my drinking....Really I will....someday....when I no longer like Diet Dew any more...Really.
oooohh boy...you did it now.
Gee Bill, it sure is big of you to admit your "drinkin" problem to the whole CMHS reunion world. hehe
You have already taken the first step by admitting you have a problem. The appology is a nice touch too. You almost sound convincing about cutting back on the diet dew....almost. haha
No snow here either, by the way. We do have a cold front moving down from the north. It's only going to be around 60 tomorrow...burrrr!
Carla thats your winter coming right? enjoy the change of season...I know I do. Good hearing from you.
Lois, I am trying to do it but Steve's self control is getting to me, I am going to have to admit defeat, I can't ruffle his feathers! I am giving it my best shots and he is ignoring me. Guess I'll have to refocus back to my boss, and try to get to him, because Steve is just to thick skinned, (or distracted) for me.
All this energy and no where to focus it! dang what a problem....
Thank you Steve, I really needed to hear from you. And yes California is so left, that right, here is often still left of center (survival of the fittest)
As for learned, and remembered, It is kind of like revisonist history, the facts and the fiction are blurred, so I just go with whatever.... BTW folks LSD was the name of the dorm complex, don't read anything into Steve's comments as to what we were doing at that fine institution 45 miles south of Champaign. We studied and went to class.

Sounds like a man with politics in his future to me! Methinks he doth protest too much.
Just kidding, Pepsi Bill. Dr. Steve did say "in LSD" and not "on LSD". You're ok in my book but then, so's Steve. Go figure.
Linda,
What's wrong with you? Are you afraid to be on Steve's list?
I believe Steve's comment says it all. Obviously, he's NOT one of my ex-husbands!
And, I'm not afraid to be on Steve's list either. I just want to make sure it's not for some trumped up reason. When I make his list, it's gonna be BIG!
