I Believe In Magic You have been transformed into a mystical being that has the ability to do magic. Share your new abilities in detail. How will you use your new skills?  I would heave the ability to solve arguments and make people happy.

Brainwave What is the best idea you have ever had? Regale us with every detail of the idea – the idea itself, where it came to you, and the problem it solved.

The New School You get to redesign school as we know it from the ground up. Will you do away with reading, writing and arithmetic? What skills and knowledge will your school focus on imparting to young minds. I would add more hands on, and real life classes. I would copy the school systems in countries that have it right...

You're A Winner You have just won $1 billion dollars in the local lottery. You do not have to pay taxes on your winnings. How will you spend the money? I would pay off all debt for all members of our families. Then I would arrange for my in laws to come home. Then I would purchase the land the cabin is on, and all the plots on both sides, then I would have New cabins built around the existing cabin, and have the existing cabin refine, good as new. Of course I would get us a new house, and the girls each a home, semi decent in the area of school, and I would make sure they have enough money to go to school. And the same for b the boy, get him all set up for school. New cars for each of us. Savings and investments set up for us, our kids, and any grand kids... Of course some would go to charity each year. Enough to be a nice tax deduction. I would quit work and go to school full time, after all the moving was  done. I would also hire a personal chef...

December 26 2014 Moment of Clarity Tell us about a time you'd been trying to solve a knotty problem -  maybe it was an interpersonal problem, a life problem, a big ol' problem -  and you had a moment of clarity when the solution appeared to you, as though you were struck by lightning.

Hello you alien scourge...just kidding, we are humans and sometimes we joke when we are nervous. For the most part we are good people.

Fire going and lots of yummy easy to cook foods on hand.  I crochet all day while watching tv and movies. . Lots of laughing, some napping, maybe someone plays with my hair for a while.

#MistysMovieTrails ORIGINS This is where it all started, back in May of 2014. I decided that I will watch a movie, and use the actors and or directors to pick my next movie. In this manner, I will go through all of the movies that we own, which right now, is almost 800. # MistysMovieTrails Started with Finding Nemo to The King's Speech Was the first movie, chosen for no real reason, just did. I will list all of the movies that I have watched, and from now on, I will post a little blurb about the movie, what I thought, if I crashed (usually do) whatever seems worth writing about!

December 21 2014 My Number One Who is the most important person in your life? Describe that person in as great a detail as you can muster and most importantly, tell us why you cherish this person.

Forgive And Forget Share a story where it was very difficult for you to forgive the perpetrator for wronging you. But you did it – you forgave them. It's not so that I forgave the last person to hurt us, she tried to tea my family apart, that is not forgivable. I just refuse to I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

A Random Act Of Kindness Tell us about the time when you performed a secret random act of kindness -  when the recipient of your kindness never found out about your good deed. How did the deed go down? We paid for the guy behind us at Target once. He had a banana and a soda, I think. It was fine, I think that he was a bit weirded out by it,  but he let us. I wish we could do more stuff like that but people get offended by things too easily... I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty -- Thank you, Misty Bishop-Martiss

Mad As A Hatter Tell us about a time when you flew into a rage? What is it that made you so incredibly angry? Most likely it was on the freeway, or some other time I was driving, with other people on the road. I get angry very fast when I drive. Could it be from all the times that I bottle my anger in other situations? That is not safe, to bottle it, or to let it come out while I drive... Maybe I should take up boxing? I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

You're A Mean One, Mr. Grinch What is your least favorite personal quality in others? Extra points for sharing your least favorite personal quality in yourself. In others, not being organized, especially when it causes issues for me. In myself, being to quick to give up, and when I get frustrated with others when I don't understand what they are trying to tell me. Personal revelation sucks sometimes.  I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

By The Skin Of Your Teeth Share a time when you narrowly avoided disaster.   One night, when I worked at Presbyterian, I was driving to work. Still on the side streets in our neighborhood, and this guy FLEW through the stop sign, I did not have one my way, so I almost got hit... So close that I had serious shakes! Then, I got onto Central and a few lights up, either Zuni or Louisiana, I cannot remember now, but that same truck was flipped in the intersection. Turns out he was running from the cops! I could have been T-boned in that first intersection, and who knows what other near misses there were that I didn't know about.   I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

Memories Of Holidays Past What is your favorite holiday? Recount the specific memory or memories that have made that holiday special to you. Driving around to look at Christmas lifts with Diane and the boys. One night it was very snowy, but now snowing, and the lights were more amazing then ever. One house had a show we stopped at and the family came out to talk to us, and brought candy canes. So much fun. Never since then has a light looking drive been so amazing. I keep trying though!  I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Festivus For The Rest Of Us You have been named supreme ruler of the universe. Your first order of business is creating and instituting a holiday or festival in your honor. What day of the year is your holiday? The color of the holiday would be green and blue. Doctor Who would be run all day, trees would be planted and crafting would be the ideal activity.  I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention Imagine, in great detail, an invention that could help reverse pollution – describe for us how your invention works and how it will help save the planet. Solar panel lined EVERYTHING THAT DOESNT MOVE! Every home, business, what ever, must have solar panes on the roof, carport, shed, any surface that has a roof, must have a solar panel. Installed and paid for by the government, creating jobs, creating energy, less dependance on oil, and no, the sun will not run out.... Imagine the innovations that wi be created with all the advances that will come along with this, new and better panels, stronger collection, the price of oil will go down, cars will still need it,  but nothing else.  Then, in a decade or two, we work on cars. With the advancement in solar panels, cars will naturally be next to be converted to cleanliness... The best way to get the bible thumping oil lovers on board would be to explain that solar is clean, and cleanline

Daring Do Tell us about the time you rescued someone else (person or animal) from a dangerous situation. What happened? How did you prevail? I once met a girl, who was awesome and wonderful. She was in a relationship with a dog named Paris, but the human who owned Paris was a horrible person! I made the wonderful girl fall in love with me and together we went to get her belongings from the trailer/hovel of the horrible person. The wonderful girl left thee horrible woman a letter telling her she had moved on, and the children peed in the toilet as a final eff off! The wonderful girl and I got married and for better or worse we are still together. :) I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

My Precious Who is the person in your life that can do no wrong? Describe this person and tell us why you hold them in such high esteem? No one is perfect, but the person in my life that is closest would be my wife. No matter what she may do, her good deeds always out weigh any 'bad' deeds. She takes care of me like no one else every has. That includes my blood family.  Now, as far as the person who can do NO wrong, that would be The Doctor, the tenth and or eleventh, specifically... But, since they are not really in my life, they don't really count. Yes, it's my wife. Even when she makes me crazy, I love her! I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

Unexpected Unexpectedly, you lose your job. (Or a loved one. Or something or someone important to you.) What do you do next? I would get even... *grimacing, maniacal, super villain  hand-rub* Seriously though, I think that I would enlist support from loved ones to help me through. I would try to figure out what the Universes plan for me is, and if I don't like it or can't figure it, give a giant middle finger to the Universe. I'm sure the Universe would understand I'm grieving...   I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Out Of Your Reach Was there a toy or thing you always wanted as a child, during the holidays or on your birthday, but never received? Tell us about it. A 1966 Mustang… Still don’t have one, dammit!

A Source Of Anxiety Write about a noise – or even silence -   that won’t go away. (We’ll let you interpret this in different ways..) Knocking four times…

What’s Your Learning Style? What is your learning style? Do you prefer learning in a group and in an interactive setting? Or one-on-one? Do you retain information best through lectures, or visuals, or simply by reading books? One on one, I think is best, but sometimes in a group, as long as I feel comfortable with that group. Hands on is defiantly the best for me…

Fifteen Minutes You have 15 minutes to address the whole world live (on television or radio – choose your format) What would you say? On Radio – I would say, stop being stupid, your beliefs are yours, and I don’t have a problem with that, leave me to mine. Mostly, be excellent to each other!

The Power of Touch Textures are everywhere: The rough edges of a stone wall. The smooth innocence of a baby's cheek. The sense of touch brings back memories for us. What texture is particularly evocative to you? The feel of yarn running through and over my hands when I am in the zone crocheting.  That or having someone play with my hair or rub my back, thats good too! I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Five Items A classic question, revisited: What are the five items you must have on a deserted island? 1. Unlimited supply of crochet and embroidery items 2. Entertainment system with every song, movie, game every created that is self sustaining (never breakable) 3. OASIS top of the line gear 4. Skittles tree ( or other fictional food giving tree 5. My wife (not really a thing, but I would want her there, so Im ok with objectifying here for this list) OR A way off the island!  I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

Sink Or Swim Tell us about a time when you were left on your own, to fend for yourself in an overwhelming situation – on the job, at home or at school. What was the outcome? Lately, a lot at work. Feeling really overwhelmed on that front. My boss just keeps piling stuff on me without the proper training or back up. Maybe I should be honored that she has faith in my abilities, but I feel like I cannot get ahead at anything at work because of all of my responsibilities.  I do ok, I get things done, not as well as I'd like though...  I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

Now You See Me You have a secret superpower: the ability to appear and disappear at will. When and where will you use this new superpower? Tell us a story I blog on the bus, so I don't have time to write a whole story...if I had this power, I would use it for good instead of evil, mostly... I would use it to show up where people are being bullied or other crimes that the perpetrator thinks they are not being seen, and stop the offense. I would also use it to see what people really think of me... Or if I think someone is talking about me or others I care about, I'd eavesdrop! Also, to see what the kids really want for their birthday.... To get the answers to tests... To check the procedures at any place in dinning.  Ok, so there are tons of possibilities, but mostly to hear what people really think of me!

I'll just assume anything that I have heard I wish I hadn't, was wrong, and I can live my life in peace. I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

Tattoo…You? Do you have a tattoo? If so, what is the story behind your ink? If you do not have a tattoo, what  might you consider getting emblazoned on your skin? I have a tattoo on my left ankle that says ARG WAS HERE. My ex husband wrote that on my shoe on our first date. Then, three days after I got that tattoo, I found out he had a threesome with some of our friends... No kidding. After a few days I decided to get past it and move forward, so I went, with two of the people he slept with, who happened to be 'our friends' to get another tattoo that is supposed to say peace/forgiveness on my right calf... When my son was four, a few years later, he asked me why my leg said VD (because looking at that tat side ways, it totally looks like VD!) I said to him because I am glad that is the only VD I have from your daddy... It's true too... Now, this is one of my favorite stories to tell, not sure why, because I am the one that got cheated on, and that was not the first or last

Humble Pie Tell us about a time you found out after the fact that you had been mistaken and you had to eat a serving of humble pie. I have never been wrong so I have no idea what that would feel like. I do not ever plan on being wrong, so I do not worry about that.  I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken... I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Keeping Up With The Jones' Tell us about the one luxury item you wish you could afford, in as much detail as you can. Paint a picture for us. Wow, I really cannot think of anything right now? Maybe holiday decorations? Like spectacular National Lampoon's Griswold Christmas set up!? For each holiday. Not just the money to do so, but the actual get up and do it, and the knowledge that no one would steal it, cuz in this neighborhood, it could very possibly be stolen. In this neighborhood there really is not much that I envy. Possibly a new car, like the Delorian that is described in the book my wonderful wife is reading to me right now! I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Fear Factor People are afraid of all kinds of things: Spiders, the dark, or being enclosed in small spaces. Tell us about your greatest fear – rational or irrational.   Drowning in a car. Not sure why, I think that it has something to do with a dream I had in middle school, where I was in a car that drive into a lake. The dream was more involved than that, and there were a lot more aspects to it than just the driving into the lake, but nonetheless, I think that is where the fear comes from. I'm not sure the dream really had anything to do with drowning, but still.  When I lived in Virginia we would have to drive on the tunnel bridge sometimes, and I was very careful not to drive off the side of the bridge, and dying horribly as I fear.  Now that live in New Mexico I don't worry about it so much! :)  I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

To Boldly Go… An impending new year gives rise to reflection and goal setting. What will your goals for 2015 be? It is never too early to start thinking about self-improvement.  Wow, that is a tough topic...  1. To maintain my GPA 2. To maintain my mind while doing so 3. To say no to things I want to say no to. 4. To stop using contractions. 5. To find joy in my job again, or to find a new path. OVERALL - to be nicer to those that deserve it, and to pay no mind to those that don't, I mean, do not... I bequeath this blog to the world in order to make it a better place.

Simply Irresistible Tell us about your favorite dish or food that you simply cannot turn down.

Blessed Be  )O( Misty -- Thank you, Misty Bishop-Martiss

Close Call Tell us about a bullet you are glad you dodged – when something awful  could have happened, but did not. Last night when I avoided seeing certain people. I could have been wrong and things would have been fine, but I'm glad I didn't take the chance.  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

I Have Confidence In Me Are you good at what you do? What would you like to be better at? Telling people what I really think or mean. Being able to stand up to people and say "no, I don't want to see you, I'm mad at you because of how you handled my father's last months, and his death, and his ashes. And while not holding a grudge is advisable, just letting you off the hook because you don't even know I'm upset about it, is bad for me too." I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Playtime Do you play in your daily life? What says "playtime" to you? I try to play in my daily life, from The Simpsons game on my iPad to crochet or whatever craft I am into at that time. Anything I want to do that is not something I HAVE to do...  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

A Bird, A Plane, You! You get to choose one superpower. Pick one of these and explain your choice: the ability to speak and understand any language, the ability to travel through time, or the ability to make any two people agree with each other. The travel bitches! Of course time travel... Besides the fact that I love Doctor Who... I would go and change things as I see fit...butterfly effect be dammed! I could spend the rest of my life changing things and fixing the ripples as I see fit!  There are also some things in my own life I would change. We will not talk about that here, I am sure there is another prompt about that. I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Safety First Share the story of a time you felt unsafe. When I had to leave my son at McDonald's before his meeting so that I could make it to class on time.  I bequeath this blog to the world, in order to make it a better place. That particular  McDonald's is in a bad area, lots of drunk hobos. He had to walk like 6 blocks to his meeting. He has little to no common sense sometimes, so I was worried for him. He made it though, so it's all good. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Fear No More What is the thing you are most scared to do? What would it take to get you to do it? Let people down, the ones that depend on my and that I care about. Also, letting myself down, and I have much harsher expectations of myself than I feel others do. I try to never give up.  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Land of Confusion Tell us about a time when you felt out of place. Pretty much every new place I go, until I get comfortable. The last place would be the luncheon I went to last week. Once I got comfortable and had people I knew around me, saw a familiar smiling face, I was fine.  One thing for me, and this is terrible... Once I find someone to mentally make fun of, I'm usually good, better if I have someone there that can make fun with me. Usually my better half, because she knows without me having to say anything most of the time!  Again, perfection! I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Love To Love You What do you love most about yourself? What do you love most about your favorite person? Are the two connected? My sense of humor. Her sense of humor. They are different but the same. They compliment each other, and we get each other... Perfection!  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

FAQ Interview someone – a friend, another blogger, your mother, the mailman – and write a post based on their responses. I tried to talk to the mailman, now he is afraid of me and is not delivering my mail, kind of like in Good Fellas?  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Write About Evil Write about evil: how you understand or (or don't) what you think it means, or a way it is manifested, either in the world at large or in your life.  This meeting is evil. Needing to pee so bad is evil. Not really, I cannot even think about what evil is and means. I think that evil can be relative. I have some ideas and some things I have seen that are evil, but others may not see it that way. Again, this meeting is evil. I bequeath this blog to the world, in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Imitation / Flattery Write a post in the style of (Or simply inspired by) a favorite author I really only follow one blogger and she is dark, funny and sarcastic. I do not write that way, I do speak and think those ways sometimes... I would like to work on that, but not today. I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place.

Non-Regional Diction Write about whatever you'd like, but write using a non-regional dialect, or in your accent.  Howdy Ya'll... Really, that is about all that I have in me.

November 12 2014 Come Fly With Me Share a story about the furthest you have ever traveled from home. The furthest that I have traveled from  home always became home.

The Perfect Game Any time I was in Texas as a child and the adults played cards, whatever game it was, and even better when they would let me play too!

About Page For The Future Write the ABOUT page for your blog in 10 years. Mother of three, grandmother to one.  Happily committed for  twenty years. Dream job, finally graduated, and master of many crochet stitches.  Not following the daily prompts anymore, now I pick my topics from the news, Cracked, buzz feed or my head. Oh yeah, and I write for Cracked... I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty Cheers, Misty 

Connect The Dots Scour the news for an entirely uninteresting story. Consider how it connects to your life. Write about that. "Gondwana caves are facing a future under water, but not everyone is happy about the prospect of losing fossils" Progress is rolling over the little man. The system just rolls along, doing what they want, with little to no concern about preserving history. Just like the loss of the valuable skills that out elders know that we don't feel the need to learn, because we can go buy a new shirt instead of fixing the one we have, or buy a blanket instead of make one ourselves...  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place.

Do you have a mentor? Tell us about him or her. Are you a mentor to someone else? Tell us what that relationship has added to your life. I wish that I did, but I really do not.

Google and Rescue Operation What was the last think you searched for online? Why were you looking for it? I searched IMDB for an actor in a movie I watched on Netflix. I knew I recognized him from something, and it was The Devil Wears Prada... He was Anne Hathaway's characters boyfriend. He was also in Entourage on HBO, but I never watched that. He was also 'teen in car' in Artificial Intelligence, in the movie for like 20 seconds... So I had searched him before, when I put that together then, in my #MistysMovieTrails.

Intense Describe the last time that you were surprised by the intensity of a feeling you had about something, or were surprised at how strongly you reacted to something you thought wouldn't be a big deal.  Doctor Who... Not any episode in general, but the whole idea and love of it. I really did not think that I would like it, and I am glad that my wife loves it too. I cannot get enough of all of it!  I really had no idea what I was missing taking so long to get into it. And when I find someone that loves it too, that's the best. UNLESS they say they do but they have NO IDEA what love for The Doctor really is... It's a journal, and a phone cover, and a sonic screw driver, and a TARDIS flash drive, and, and, and...a TARDIS bedroom door. I know there's more, like a dress and footsie jammies...holy crap, I might have a problem?  Hello, my name is Misty, and I love Doctor Who...

It Builds Character Tell us about a favorite characater from film, theater, or  literature, with whom you would like to have a heart to heart. What would you talk about? Luna Lovegood; because she just says what is on her mind and she does not hold anything back. It would be refreshing to talk to someone and know that they were being completely honest. There are not many people in the world that do that. Things I would not even think to wonder about the honesty in, those would be the best. Such a learning experience.

November 3 2014 Placebo Effect If you could create a painless, inexpensive cure for a single ailment, what would you cure and why?  Mental illness: because so many that I love are affected by it and there is such a stigma attached to it.

November 2 2014 Conflicted You're in the middle of a terrible argument, and everyone turns to you to resolve it, How do you respond? How do you react to conflict?

November 1 2014 Eat, Drink and Be Merry for tomorrow we die. The world is ending tomorrow! Tell us about your last dinner - the food your companions, the setting, the conversation. Well, that is tough. I want to say that I would spend it with family, but alas, not all of them. I think that I would say, on the best day, with all best moods, attitudes and behaviors intact, it would be grilling in the courtyard with my wife and kids, and then fire time. With laughter and s'mores to close the page on our time on this planet, not a bad way to go, right? I bequeath this blog to the world, in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty

Express Yourself Tell us about a time you couldn't write get your words or images to express what you wanted to express. What do you think the barrier was? For bonus points, try again.   Lately only when I try to blog. Letters to family have been ok, and stuff for school comes pretty easily, but we'll see, since I need to write about a business 'thing' I went to, and I'm going to have to really BS it since not a lot happened .

Sad But True  Tell us about the harshest, most difficult to hear – but accurate – criticism you've ever gotten. Does it still apply?  Basically that I can be mean. That hurts because I try to be nice and I am too nice to some people that don't deserve it, but to those that I should be the nicest to, I can be mean. I don't want to hurt those I love.

Childlike Explain your biggest regret – as though to a small child. I like soda, it tastes yummy, but it's not good for me like an apple or water would be.

October 11 th  2014 Mid-Season Replacement For many of us the seasons are changing, bouncing unpredictably between cold and warm. Are you glad to be moving into a new season, or wishing for one more week of the old? I enjoy the fall with all that it brings, it is indeed my favorite season.

BLOGGERS, UNPLUGGED Sometimes, we all need a break from these little glowing boxes. How do you know when it is time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen? When I can't see straight.

Sometimes I'll put in a movie, if it's a good one it does the trick.  Ask my wife, it rarely works. :) I bequeath this blog to the world, in order to make it a better place. Blessed Be  )O( Misty

It is enough for me to get COMPLETELY out of debt and then some. This was just a day after we bought grammas car and I was a little worried about the increased costs associated with said car; payments, insurance, gas, registration and maintenance.  Now, we will be out of debt and then some!  I bequeath this blog to the world to make it a better place.

The Clothes That (May) Make The (Wo)Man How important are clothes to you? Describe your style, if you have one, and tell us how appearance impacts how you feel about yourself. Clothes are good. Being nekked in public is illegal.  I have certain outfits that I feel super cute or super confident in, and I like that. I don't wanna wear them so often that people think "oh, she's wearing that again!" But I'll wear them as often as I think I can rotate them and get away with it!  There are certain outfits I don't feel great in, the thing is, and there is a thing... At the end of the day I'm so happy to be getting out of them that I tend to forget I hate them, hence I wear them again! There's gotta be better way!

CLEANING HOUSE Is there "junk" in your life? What kind? How do you get rid of it? Usually I know I have too much stuff and it kinda bothers me, but not enough to do anything about it. However, when my crazy hoarding mother pisses me off, I tend to go through a purge phase!

2100 The language of the future: what will it be like? Write an experimental post using some imagined vocabulary - abbreviations, slang, new terms. I really hope people don't even speak in the future. Maybe just some implants in our brains that let us communicate with other implants. That being said, the communication will be in code, and since I don't know 1's and 0's code, I can't come up with any slang...

STANDSTILL For a moment today, time stands still - but you can tweak one thing while it' stopped. What do you do? Seriously, if I could stop time for a while...hate to say it, but I'd rob some banks. I mean, this is just a hypothetical, right? You don't actually know anyone that can stop time for me? Ok then... I'd rob as many banks as I could... Rather I would liberate some excess cash and bring it to my home for my use, typical Robin Hood stuff right there. I could use some money to pay of bill and get a new car. Maybe I'd just go into the computer systems of my creditors and 'pay off' my balances. With no big bills like mortgage and stupid loan, I could afford a new car, or two in no time.

I got up and went to him and asked him to let someone sit down beside him. He was not pleased and 'He tried to hit me with a forklift'.

NO FAIR Tell us about something you think is terribly unfair - and explain how you would try to rectify it? When selfish people on the bus won't share their seat on a crowded trip.

She yells a lot, mostly, she yells 'I PAY THE MORTGAGE!' I don't know what that means, but everyone laughs so I guess it can't be bad.
