The Queen's Meme #7 ~ Message In A Bottle

Welcome to the Queen's Meme #7.
Today we're going to take a mini-vacation before summer gets away from us.
I hope you have fun with this!
And please, stay out of the dungeon.
Somewhere in a faraway bloggiverse on an island with a palm tree swaying in the breeze, a message bottle sits side by side with a Pina Colada and a cute little striped umbrella horizontally tilted in the beachy sand.
Did YOUR bottle make it to land? Have you checked lately? There are now 285 bottles floating in the bloggy ocean just waiting to be mysteriously delivered to a tropical island near you. It's time you added yours!
Here are the rules:
You are about to send a virtual Message In a Bottle across the Blog Ocean.
Leave a message in the sand or on the bottle. Write anything you wish. Be a pirate or a poet. Serious or silly. Rant or ruminate.
Anonymous or not. What message would you like to send out to the universe?
Message In A Bottle Meme

1. Compose a message to place in your virtual bottle below. It can even be ANONYMOUS message. I will not reveal your identity.

2. Right click and Save the graphic below
3. Use a graphics program of your choice to place the message on the picture

4. Post the meme and these rules on your blog 6. Tag a minimum of five people - or your entire blogroll - to do the same. Notify them of the tag.

Your virtual bottle will remain afloat in the blogosphere ocean for all blogernity (That's a Mimism for blog + eternity.)I will add it to the master list of message bottles when you let me know you've completed the meme.

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'M ASKING YOU TO TAG. PLEASE DO!

I tag the following

Butterfly Dreamer

My Little Corner of the world

Writing from the Inside Out

RAMBLING WOODS ~TAKING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED

Strawberry Girl's Reflections

I will also add it to Message In a Bottle blog with a link back to you.

How To Stay Out Of The DungeonOnce upon a time in a faraway Bloggiverse there lived a maiden named Queen Mimi Pencil Skirt. She slayed her own dragons, stoked her own fire and well.....wrote memes by the light of the Bloggingham moon. One day a kind blogger from England noticed her meme lovin' ways and royally crowned her Mimi Queen of Memes. As time passed in the peaceful kingdom of Bloggingham, her Royal Highness found comfort in the company of fellow bloggers who also loved memes. But the Queen had a wicked disposition too. It is widely reported in historical Blogosphere archives that any and all bloggers found guilty of not completing their memes were promptly thrown into the dreaded Bloggingham dungeon.

If I were you, I'd do the meme.

#6 ~ The Bachelor's Dating Meme
We're up early this week. Welcome back to The Queen's Tuesday Meme. Each week the type of meme will change; sometimes silly, sometimes serious, but always fun!This meme is all about using your imagination. Free your inner blogginess. Step outside the proverbial blox (that's blog + box for all you non-blog speakers). Answer these ridiculous situational questions and post them on your own blog. Here's the situation for today. We won't tell a soul. And remember:Don't end up in the dungeon
#6 The Bachelor's Dating MemeIn honor of my 500th "Bachelor of The Day" to post this week on my site called Dating Profile Of The Day we bring you The Dating Meme. For three years I've been rummaging through online dating profiles to find the zaniest and most ridiculous profile headlines out there. They write 'em. I spoof 'em. Do you know that some folks are grammatically insane?? And some are just insane.Ergo, today's meme was born. Are you up for the challenge? Take a look at these seven dating profile headlines from real dating sites. Imagine you are trying to find a date and these gems have just landed in your inbox. How would you respond to them? Write a comeback response to each one. Be sarcastic, be funny, be brave! Spelling errors not my own. Names and locations have been changed to protect the terminally single. If you need inspiration, go HERE for hundreds of funny examples.

1. Birdbrain looking for a mate? Well, I don't want just any bird brain for a mate. How small does your brain have to be to be considered a bird brain? That small?OK...See ya....

2. Where Are All The Bad Girls? Forget it...go to the bunny ranch. They will take you if you have money.

3. A Good Woman Is Hard To Fine... To fine or define?

Get spell check, you bird brain...

4. Does God Know You've Escaped From Heaven? OMG! Please... oh Lord...tell me he did not just say that! You have to have a better pick up line than that!

5. I Put the Fun in DysFUNctional... Bye, bye birdie brain, why'd you have say...no more. Ahem.

6. Does this profile make me look fat? Well, no... not fat, but maybe a little scarey.

7. I'm a no nonsince person with little tolorrance for stupitity.... Dear Nonon... Is this the guy with the tiny little bird brain? Bye...bye birdie and by the way...get spellcheck.

Good luck! And thank you for playing The Queen's Tuesday Meme.

The Woodstock Meme

Forty years ago this week, three days of peace, love and rock 'n roll (and mud) happened near Bethel, New York. It was the Summer of 1969.Attire: Hippie jeans. Long hair. Legal or illegal smoke. Psychedelic vibe.
The scene: You are at Woodstock. You go alone but meet up with a beautiful man/woman. You spend three days together.Put yourself inside the peace & love vibe. You can choose to be stoned or straight. I put it in the story for the sake of reality. Just don't inhale in this meme.
This is the conversation you have upon meeting or you can make it into what you overhear others say.

It makes no sense and has no continuity by design.
You must fill in the familiar blanks to finish the story. Some are song lyrics. You may use more than one word to fill in the blanks.

Oh! I forgot to tell you (must be the smoke in here) You have a new name. It must a combination of the first letter of your first name, the third letter of your middle name and the last letter of your last name.Peace out! Somebody might wanna turn on a fan in here.

1. "Hello, my groovy name is PNL". That's short for well, I don't know.
By the looks of those flowers in your hair, you must be a love child.
Didn't they tell you? No shoes allowed!

2. Come on, Baby, light my way to the dungeon. It is starting to look better than my answers.
When I lay me down to rest I pray the very best, for my sleeping bag to keep.
If I flip the light fantastic before I wake, I pray that I find my WAY home to take.
**puff puff**

3. Because the first time ever I saw your clothes, I realized that what the world needs now is cookies and sweet milk. Besides, I always feel guilty watching you do all the work when I should be groovin to the beat.
But I dig it!

4. Have I told you lately that I would like to sock it to you, sock it to you, sock it to you? Hey! Don't step on that mushroom, we might have to eat it !!
Dude. That guy is really weird but.....

5. There's a party in my sleeping bag and half a million of my BFF's friends are coming over tonight and we're gonna drink my baby off my mind. Darn the luck. It's raining toilet paper (s) and cigarette butts(s)
Luckily, Papa was a rolling stone editor and I'm on a first name basis with the cops.
**puff puff**

6. I'm really digging your groove but that shirt has got to go. Those flowers in your hair are beginning to smell like smoke, lots of smoke...ech...ech.
Have I told you lately that I dig you?
** puff puff**

Far Out...

7. I'm beginning to see dead people in those trees over there. Do you see it?
Out of all the millions of hippies here, you are the most outspoken one in the bunch.
But I dig it, man.
**puff puff**

8. I'd use all my blood, sweat and twinkies just to get next to your peace sign.
Love is free but I'd really like to buy that guy's love shack.
It says "Make paint for your body not your car. " Far out!

9. I'm grateful to be leavin 'cause there's a bad smell rising in Jefferson's Airplane. But that's okay, 'cause Joe Cocker said I could get by with a little money from my friends.

10. Oh, by the way, there is a house in New Orleans · They call the Risin' Sun · and it is on fire. But I dig it. I think I am headed for the Dungeon.

Peace and Faaaaaarrrr Oooouuuttttt!

Thom's Loyal Friend and Visitor Award

Thom from (Thoms Place 4 Well Whatever...) has given me this lovely award. Thom, thank you so much and I will treasure it always. I may not visit as often as I like, but I am a loyal friend to you.


Of course there are rules, but today I am choosing to opt out these rules.



So now it is my turn to pass this lovely award forward. I would love it if everyone would grab this award. You are all so special and worthy. So, I pass this award onto you if you are reading this. Thanks for picking it up. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

When did you grow up?

Happy Birthday to my youngest son, Hunter. Today, he turns 27 years old. I don't know how he grew up so fast, but he has. Hunter is a great young man and Dad and I are very proud of the man he has become.

He has been a volunteer fire fighter for a while now and is hoping to get hired on by the Lincoln Parrish Fire Dept. This is his passion in life. I pray for his safety because he has told me some harrowing experiences while on the job.

He would also kill me, if he knew I had posted this on my blog. That's what mothers do best. Embarrass their kids. Ha!

I can't believe he drives this big fire truck. If he gets the job, then he can afford to go back to college. He lacks 30 hours until he graduates with a degree in Journalism and History. It seems like you were just a little boy of ten just the other day.

Thank you, Hunter, for being you.

From my friend Dawn...

My sweet friend,Dawn, at Twisted Sister has given me these awards. I guess she knows how much I love and enjoy them. Thank you Dawn for passing these on to me.





And now I pass them forward to the following blogs.

DeEtta at My Little Corner of the world
Thom at Thoms Place 4 Well Whatever...
Annie at Strawberry Girl's Reflections
Michelle at RAMBLING WOODS ~TAKING THE ROAD LESS TRAVELED~
Nita at Throwback at Trapper Creek
Barbara at Writing from the Inside Out
Sara at Barefoot in the Garden
Mime at Mimi Writes.......
Chickie at Skittering Thoughts
Cherie at Butterfly Dreamer

You do not have to participate if you do not have time. I just adore these blogs and think they are all so diverse and unique. I know how very busy some of you are right now, so this is just my way of saying how much I apprecitate your friendship and your blog.

Happy Trails to you

Carmen, my dobberman, Suzie, my yellow lab and Hot Dog, our little mixed dog that will dance in a circle for a dog treat.

Day trip to see another of my best friends, Darlene. Yesterday was her birthday and her husband gave her a little puppy that is a combination between a Schnauzer and a poodle. I am so excited to see her and her new puppy. She is as excited as a child. She has been without a dog for fifteen years.



We will visit, go to lunch and then I am off to see my accupuncturist. My sister, Candy, has been gone all week to La. and will return Saturday. It is ever changing around here. Then Hubs leaves Sunday for another week in south Louisiana. That is all I know for now. This has been a pretty good week for me, except that I miss my sweet sister.



Have a great weekend. My dogs say hello.

Welcome to WBLOG TV
The place where unbloggable news happens and sources are never a secret. You are the creator, producer, writer and news anchor of the WBLOG nightly news. It is your job to deliver the news in your own style from your own blog.
And oh, you get to make up the news! Here's your assignment:


1. The Weather Channel: Give me your personality forecast. Are you sunny, wet, windy, or cloudy? Why?




Well, first let me tell you that I have my own weather system! Yep, it can go from hot and humid to cold and clamey and at the speed of lightening in less that 60 seconds. Whew, I'm tired just thinking about it.

I told you it was a really big system...



2. The News Channel: What is the breaking news story of the day in your world?

The biggest news on the home front is that I lost two pounds. I just can't figure out why I keep loosing and gaining the same ten pounds.


3. The Economic Channel: How are things on the economic front? And more importantly, do you have ideas to save the planet from financial ruin?

The economic front reports all jobs are in tact and we are thankful for that.
Now, if we could just get our president channeling some energy and brain waves instead of talking about his "old lady blue jeans". Oh, Mr. President I need some cupcakes. Really is this newsworthy? Your ratings are slipping...Not to be disrespectful or anything. I am just saying.

This makes Bill look good and at least he came and he went and he garnered the reporters release.


4. The Entertainment Channel: Give us the latest blog celebrity gossip. Dish it!

I know I can find something to gossip about...
Let's see...
mmmmm...
My boss had her hair cut in a new style, or
Wait, I got it....

I am exercising and counting my steps. If I go 10,000 steps in a day, I will loose weight.
OMG...I have how many steps to go? 6,123 steps left.

5. The Sports Channel: Make up a sport, give your team a name and choose five players from the list of names on the Mr. Linky list. What are the rules of the game?

If I don't step it up with some better answers, I may be playing Dundgeon Dodgeball with Dawn.
My sport is blogbelly, which is really just belly dancing that is all jazzed up and you dance with scarves and everything.

My five players are as follows:

Dawn from Twisted Sister
Thom from Thoms Place 4 Well Whatever...
Me,Myself and I

Help me I can't stop twirling and I think I am going to be sick...

But at least I can count my steps on my pedometer.

Sorry Thom, but I did not know anyone else to add to my team, but I bet you will be a good sport about it and won't mind wearing the outfit.

6. The Comedy Channel: How will you make us laugh today? Tell us a blunny (that's blog + funny for all you non-blog speakers)

I'm sorry, but that channel does not come in clearly. Besides, I am terrible at telling jokes. Trust me on this one. So Garfield will have to help me out.



7. The Religious Channel: Make up a blog religion. Tell us why your blog church will save our souls.

The God channel is the only sure source to save souls. He is always available and never looses the connection.


8. (but who's counting?) The Soap Opera Channel: What is the name of your soap opera?

The Blogging Light. It never changes anything and is the same year after year.

Chickie, my blog friend

This is my beautiful blog friend "Chickie" from Skittering Thoughts . I had the pleasure of meeting her. She came to visit her family and on her return trip she kindly stopped to meet us. This little dog is Tiny Dog and he is so adorable. Although my three dogs would have liked to have him for dessert. Not really, but Tiny Dog was a great little dog.

If you want to follow an amazing young woman, then please check out her blog. She is too funny and a wonderful person. She is exactly the same in person as she is on her blog. Chickie even brought me some candles. She is truely a doll.

Thanks Chickie for stopping by my part of the world. It was such a pleasure to meet you. I hope you make it back to Florida safely.



Love ya,

Pam
