Published on February 27, 2010 in Baby Boomer. 9 Comments Tags: , .


Harriet and Friends blog picked today’s victim. Harriet is also the host of Monday Mayhem a very clever meme. Harriet picked a meme from a blogger named   Roger Owen Green from Ramblin’ with Roger. He states he saw it at both SamuraiFrog and Jaquandor. 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. It is a long meme, so we will do it in parts. Today is Part Two. If you missed last week, do them together today! Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all of us thieves!

Sunday Stealing: Harriet’s Choice: The Disney Meme

1. Which non-Disney Princess Disney Film is your favorite? Shrek, because of his speech impediment. Instead of green, he says gween.

2. Which Disney film makes you cry the most? The Mousefather. “Leave the trap, take the cannolis.”

3. Which Disney film makes you the happiest? The Rescuers because of all the nude scenes.

Song of the South. I saw the original in theaters, and it has never been released to video. Nyah!

The chambermaid who became a chef: Maddy aka Tiana from the Princess and the Frog

critics bemoaning the lead character’s announced name and occupation. She’d be a maid for a white family named … Maddy.

Sunday Stealing ripped off a blogger known as Little Bark from the blog The Tree Unleashed She explains that she found it over at The Tree of Life. It appears it originated on that blog. 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 of us thieves!

Sunday Stealing: The Pretentious Blogging Meme

1. How long have you been blogging? Closing in on three years, first post was in March 2007. It wasn’t much, but it was a start.

2. What made you start? Curiosity about this new way to publish.

3. Who inspired you? Chris, and he encouraged me to be patient until I found my voice.

4. About how many hours a week would you estimate you spend on your blog? Fifteen minutes a post on average, so maybe and hour a week.

5. What kind of experience or background do you have with writing? I’ve been around writers all my life, but never did any writing based on my personal thoughts or experiences.

6. Talk about how you come up with blog topics. Where do you get your ideas? I have 371 RSS feeds. Plus television and NPR and newspapers and emails and life.

7. What or who inspires you and your blog? Stuff around me.

8. Where and/or how do your brainstorming for your blog? I don’t feel the need to brainstorm because I only write when I have something to say.

10. Is there anything you will not blog about? Yes, the blog just is a sliver of my life experiences.

11. Do you have any sort of a publishing schedule in terms of day of week or topic? Does anybody who is writing for fun? If there is a schedule, how fun can that be?

My adds:

12. Do you make any money from your blog? (optional) about how much a month? Mostly from AdSense? Yes, $60-$80 all from AdSense.

13. What blogging system do you use? WordPress. I started on Blogger, but Chris (see #3) said WordPress was more robust. He was right.

14. How did you come up your blog name? This was what got me going on blogging. I messed around with some other general topics but since I was approaching 60 and everybody loves Boomers, I thought it was a good name. After the blog was established – ie I had a lot of posts, I realized the name was not search engine friendly (had a lot of Miss Sixty ads!)

15. How many blogs do you have? What was your peak? Three now, this one, BBQandBourbon.com, and RobinMeadeBlog.com (fanboy and ad farm.)  At peak:

  • BickeringBoomers.com – with Nancy, but we quit because the bickering sometimes elevated because of the posts.
  • DogsWithCones.com – photo blog started on a whim with St. Todd deCubville, eventually sold it for $11.
  • AsianWomenHoldingThings.com – a harmless photo blog of gadgets and the Asian women who held them. Sold for $23.

16. Do you have undeveloped blog domain names? Care to share them? Yes, SaleEndsSunday.com and my real name dot com.

17. Do you have any blog domain names that redirect to your main blog?

  • BabyBoomerGoingLikeSixty.com
  • GoingLike60.com

18. Are you having as much fun as when you started? Yes, but I get frustrated that a huge number of former loyal bloggers and readers have stopped or gone to Facebook.

19. Where do you find other bloggers like you? I search hard for other male boomer bloggers, but they are hard to find. I really enjoy reading woman blogs, but there’s all this “stuff” they write about… not that it’s not interesting reading, just that I have nothing to add to the discussion!

20. What’s your one wish when it comes to blogging? (a) Easy, see above, that I could find a dozen or so guys 45-65 that aren’t writing about tech or politics.  (b) that Facebook is a fad and people return to writing more than just a paragraph three times a day.

Sunday Stealing: The 29′er Meme

1. What bill do you hate paying the most? I don’t pay the bills at our house, but paying for any insurances. Pay something and hope you never have to use it. What a racket.

4. Why did you choose the shirt that you have on right now? First tee shirt I saw.

5. First thought when the alarm went off this morning? I never use an alarm unless I need to get up without fail. Then I usually don’t sleep well the night before because I’m afraid the alarm won’t go off. I normally wake up to Nancy tapping on my heinie anyplace from 5:30 to 6:15 – which is our signal. (Our signal that I need to turn on the television news.)

6. Last thought before going to sleep last night? Craig Ferguson is nuts!

9. Have you found real love yet? Yes.

10. What do you get every time you go into Wal-Mart? The only reason we go to Wal-mart is to get “dog-water.”  We only give our dogs distilled water and they always have it 20 cents less than other stores. Since we buy 10 gallons at a time, we save a whole $2. Woo-hoo. That never makes sense to me, but I don’t argue.

11. Do you think marriage is an outdated ritual? Yeah, the words and ceremony have been proven to be pretty useless to keep marriages together. But the legal part is important. For most people the party is the biggest and most expensive they will ever attend.

16. Do you have a “go to” person? To vague to answer.

17. Are you where you want to be in life? I just read today that Boomers will live to 95 years old. That means I’m only 2/3 of the way. I don’t feel like being philosophical, so that’s a non answer.

18. Over the years, what about you do you think has changed the most? Weight. I now weigh almost twice as much as when we were married.

19. Looking back at high school were they the best years of your life? NO. And anybody that says yes is nuts. How can they be? Unless you were convicted of a felony at ag 18 and sent to prison for life, then high school was probably pretty cool.

20. Are there times you still feel like a kid? Never.

21. Where was the hang out spot when you were a teenager? The Alamo. (the ‘Mo)

Sunday Stealing: The Green Meme

1. What is your current obsession? You are reading one of them. But this isn’t my full-blown obsession blog. That’s another one. I just signed up for another blog outlet that really should be fun. This blog is just to release my inner smart ass.

2. What’s a good coffee place? If I was going to get a cuppa – it would be Chai Latte – it would be at Spencer’s, but only because I can walk there when the mood hits.

3. Who was the last person that you hugged? Nancy.

4. Do you nap a lot? Not at all. Hosers, people with Sleep Apnea who use a Continuous Postive Air Pressure device, (me) don’t nap. There is no need because we get a good night’s sleep. Except when we don’t.

5. Tonight, what’s for dinner? Sunday night? Since I’m writing this on Saturday night, I’m not sure. Dinner? That would be the evening meal? Often it’s chocolate chip ice cream with Hershey’s chocolate sauce. Sometimes blended into a milk shake. At our house, it’s “you want it, you fix it” on Sunday evenings. Cookie dough anybody? Cake mix? All of the above?

6. What was the last thing that you bought? Monster brand cables for the BATV. BTW: here is my BATV installation specialist who will be flying  in from sunny southwest Florida. St. Todd deCubville. Guess what his only demand is!

St. Todd deCubville

St. Todd deCubville

7. What is your favorite weather? 75 degrees in the morning, increasing to a high of 85, 25% humidity, partly cloudy. Big poofy clouds blown across a azure sky by a gentle breeze that makes my soft grey hair blow like the fuzz from dandelion that I have sprayed with Round Up that I got on sale at Lowe’s last Thursday, but forgot to send in to get the rebate.

8. Tell us something about one blogger who you think will play this week? Oh jeez, I don’t know them all well enough to name one and provide details. But since most are women, there will be a lot of answers that will be all gooshy. (probably #11)

9. If you were given a free house that was full furnished, where in the world would you like it to be? in the Monmarte area of Paris with a view of Sacre Couer Cathedral. I would wear a beret and smoke french cigarettes in a short cigarette holder and regale passersby with recollections of my life as a moonshiner in Kentucky.  The other residents would tolerate me because I am immensely wealthy and buy them nice gifts. See #11.

10. Name three things that you could not live without. Horseflies, cowpies and french fries.

11. What would you like in your hands right now? A winning lottery ticket that would net me one hundred million dollars after taxes.

12. What’s one of your guilty pleasures? Cigars

13. What would you change or eliminate about yourself? 150 lbs. of rompin’ stompin’ brute fat. That would put me about 20 pounds above my marriage weight. I was too skinny, no really!

14. As a child, what type of career did you want? Career? Who thinks about that stuff. Who thought of this question? OK, in the spirit, I think I wanted to do something involving speedy wheeled vehicles.

15. What are you missing right now? A dental cap.

16. What are you currently reading? Oh, I am so glad you asked, Grandma Henke is reading “If You Can Talk, You Can Write” and I bought the book on her recommendation.

17. What do you fear the most? Horseflies, cowpies, and the Nobel Prize.

18. What’s the best movie that you’ve seen recently? Doubt.

19. What’s your favorite book from the past year? Head Rambles

I liked this meme! Did you?
