Hiya and welcome to the first Monday Meme of 2006.
One of the things memes can do is give us some insight into who each other are. There are a number of folks who have posted a "100 Things" meme that went around a while back. You can learn a lot about folks reading those. I won't ask you for that one (today). But I have ten questions for you to answer so we can get a glimpse
1. What is your most hated and dreaded household chore. Why?
2. Do you ever drink out of the beverage container or always pour a glass?
3. Over the counter pain relief: Asprin, acetominiphen or ibuprophen? (if those aren't your options, what are?)
4. What was the first car (or motorcycle if that's the case) you bought for yourself?
5. It's a lovely, sunny weekend day. What would you go do if you could do whatever you wanted to do (within your usual means).
6. Name your favorite board game.
7. How many blankets do you sleep under and how many pillows do you use?
8. How many pets and of what type do you currently live with? You may name them if you wish.
9. Biggest grammar peeve.
10. Favorite flower or other plant, should you not be into flowers.
Don't forget to add the tag and do the ping thing on Technorati when you're done.

Monday Meme (a day late, sorry!)
Yikes! Yesterday was Monday! I was off work for a 3-day weekend and I think it just seemed like Sunday...so I forgot to do my Meme! What got my attention was that I wandered over to Halspacejock's site and he had a meme, so I 'nicked' it with a little editing.

Yea! It's Monday. Now that I started doing it, I'm actually looking forward to see what the latest meme is.

We're just teasing you, Dawno. But we DID stop rocking the car - at least a half an hour ago. Are you sure it isn't an earthquake?

AW Monday Meme #6!
Recipe Meme
Open your refrigerator. What is the first item on the left at the front of the 'fridge on the top shelf.
Open the food cupboard closest to the stove. What is the first food item on the right on the bottom shelf (you may go up a shelf if your bottom shelf holds pet food or non-food stuff)
Find online or create for us from your imagination, a recipe using those two things as primary ingredients.
For example: fridge: Snapple diet lemon iced tea
cupboard: rice
I tried Google - there was a listing for hot green tea over sticky rice as a food a Japanese mom would give a child with a stomach ailment. I don't think cold Snapple diet lemon tea on rice sounds too good - but, maybe one could use the tea to cook the rice - it might add an interesting color and flavor. Serve with Teryaki Chicken cut in strips and a fresh salad.
There's my recipe.
What's yours?!
If you Google (or use any search engine) for the recipe, please share the link in your blog and here's the Technorati Tag, too.

Dawno,
I don't think I'm up to looking in my refrigerator tonight. It really needs to be done in the daytime.
Yes, that little light comes on - but who knows what hides behind the mayonaise?

AW Monday Meme #7
The days just fly by! Here we are at another Monday. And a Happy Chinese New Year, as well.
Today's little quiz is about computers and you.
1. Do you remember the first computer you ever used? If so, tell us what you remember and why you were using it.
2. Do you remember the first computer you ever bought for yourself? What was it - if you know details like how much memory it had or anything funny about it, share!
3. What kind of computer are you using right now? Any particular story about you and your computer experience you can share?
4. Is there one thing about having a computer that is particularly important in your personal history? Something you wouldn't have done or known unless you had a computer? Some big change having one made in your life? - for example, I met my SO 15 years ago because I bought a Commodore128 that had a floppy disk in it for an online service called Q-Link. We would never have met if I'd bought a different computer.
You can see my answers on my blog

Hope you'll do the meme!

Hi Dawno. I read this thread from front to back and back to front again.
Do I get this right - I'm a very slow learner - if I would like to take part in this "meme" thing I can do that when ever I like. There are no obligations to do it every week - some weeks I am so busy at work I barely have time to sleep.
If I do take part. I come here look up what the meme topic of the week is. Right?
Then I post it on my plog and make a story out of it. Right?
I copy/past the html tag into the posts html. Right?
Then I go to Techorati and do the "ping" thing. Right?
I hope that is right and don't make you pull all your hair out.
Ickecked also you blog out about that meme thing and the link to Technorati.
I think for me that meme thing would be fun and a good way to practise my english too, two flies with one swat.

AW Monday Meme #8 The Amazon.com Meme
(or Borders, or whatever book site you want to use)
Have fun!
(or Borders, or whatever book site you want to use)
- Write down the names of 3 good friends (best friends, boyfriends, girlfriends, whatever) from High School or College - not current friends who (around here anyway) might be published authors. Oh, you don't write these down on your blog - jot them on a note pad or just keep them in your head.
- Go to Amazon (or yadda yadda see above) and type their names (one first/last name set at a time) into the search bar. Maybe only the first name or last name 'hits' that's ok. Have you read any of the books that pop up? List it. (for example, my best friend senior year was Lynne Bxxx I typed it in and Lynne Truss, author of Eats, Shoots, and Leaves was the second book - I own it, that's the one I'd list first)
- If none of the books are familiar - is there one you'd like to read? List it. (the second name I typed came up with a lot of exact matches - none I'd read, I'd pick one and post it)
- Do that for the other two names.
- Here's the voluntary part - if you use the tag, then people can go to Technorati and search on the tag to see that you've done the meme. If you own a book on someone's "I'd like to read" list, why not PM them (if you're willing to) and offer to lend them the book!
Have fun!

Folks, I'm taking this Monday off - had to work till 8:30pm and I can't think of anything clever for you tonite.
That said, if someone else has a clever meme idea to share - please feel free to post it here!

Not sure if this is where I need to post this. My technorati tag is not working properly. I've tried it several times in several ways. I've created a hyperlink, and it directs me to the page, but my post doesn't show up. I'm thinking it may take some time to show up. Joanne got me! I've been tagged;-)

You probably need to do to the "manual ping" page on Technorati and enter your blog's url to get it to show up - I have to do that every now and then.

Here's one... maybe for next Monday?
Taken from here
(PS: I omitted two questions)
1) A favorite political track.
2) One of those tracks that make you dance on the dancefloor no matter what.
3) The song you’d use to tell someone you love them.
4) A song that has made you sit down and analyze its lyrics.
5) A song that you like, that a two year old would like as well.
6) A song that gives you an energy boost.
7) A song that you and your grandparents (would probably) like.
8) A song that you really liked when you were 14-16, and still really like now.
9) A sad song that would be in the soundtrack of the movie about your life.
10) A peppy song that would start the opening credits of the movie about your life.
11) A good song from a genre of music that no one would guess that you liked.
12) A song that you think should have been playing when you were born.
13) A favorite artist duo collaboration.
14) A favorite song that you completely disagree with (politically, morally, commonsenically, religiously etc.)
15) The song that you like despite the fact your IQ level drops several points every time you listen to it.
16) Your smooth song, for relaxing.
17) A song you would send to someone you hate or are mad at.
18) Your favorite song at this moment in time.
