August 19, 2002Monday Mission 2.33Want to be first in line to get at the Monday Mission? Just join the MM Mailing list, in the box on the upper left. We have 503 members so far, who's gonna be next? And of course, if this is your very first Monday Mission, you are an official "First Timer!" So, be sure to let us know in your comment so we can all stop by your site. Oh, btw, MM buttons for your post can be found here (more welcomed, so make one if you want) Finally, I have a looooong list of Monday Missionaries, past and present. If you do the Monday Mission and want to be on the list, just fill out the form. I don't even ask for a link back! Just sharin' the love, baby. One other list you may want to join is the "Labels Link List" on the lower-right sidebar. We all get labeled in life, but now you can pick your own label for a change. And you can even link to a photo of the source of your pride. Well, let's get on with it, shall we? C'mon, think about it seriously, you know it makes sense...It's: PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.331. Many children have blankets, or a favorite nubby stuffed animal that they like to keep near them for security. Do you recall what you had for your "security blanket" as a child? When did you finally give it up? What brought that about? 2. Now that you are a big kid, what do you have to give you that same sense of security? 3. With a little over four months left in 2002, have you accomplished everything you wanted to for the year? Is there anything that you would like to accomplish before the year is over? 4. I don't know about you, but it seems to me children have it pretty good these days. Game systems, computers in the home, microwaves, cable TV, the internet, cell phones and pagers, they certainly have a wider variety of technology than most of us did as children. What modern convenience, if any, do you think it would be good for children today to do without? What would they gain? 5. Many of us have one thing in which we believe we excel. What do you do better than most? 6. In the United States, and possibly other countries, teenagers in High School usually wind up falling into several social circles or "cliques." Stoners, Rich Kids, Jocks, Cheerleaders, Band, Drama, Goths, and so on (though the names are probably different today). What High School "clique" did you find yourself in? Was it by choice or did it just happen? Did you look down on other groups? (Aw it's ok, it was/is High School, we all did dumb stuff) 7. (it begins) I have great news! I won the contest and we now have plane tickets to anywhere in the world. The bad news is we have to pick a place now and leave in the morning. I can't decide where to go, so you get to pick. Where should we go, and what is the first thing we should do when we get there? BONUS: Must I beg you? This week's comment question: What's your favorite dessert? file this under Monday Mission Posted by on August 19, 2002 @ August 19, 2002 09:42 AM 97 folks had something to say |

Posted by: Manda at August 19, 2002 12:12 PMI had trouble coming up with a few of the answers, but I managed to get it all up here. I pinged, too, but screwed up the excerpt - usually I put the excerpt down before pinging, but I forgot this time. Blah.

Favorite dessert? Umm, that's hard, since I loooove desserts. I would say Tiramisu is pretty darned up there, but I have an overall weakness for chocolate... GOOD chocolate, at that.

Posted by: chris at August 19, 2002 2:22 PMHrm, and I was so excited about trackback ... seems like it's broken or something. (I get an error about a required file missing or something when I try to open the trackback popup.) Well, if we're talking dessert, I'd have to say S'more Pie. :)
Posted by: ste at August 19, 2002 2:38 PMPack your bags, you're going to Thailand! My Mission is up, and my dessert is tiramisu.

Posted by: Helena at August 19, 2002 2:44 PMhere's mine. hey what's wrong with your trackback? i normally ping your site with my answers but i couldn't get the URL thanks to this horrid error message :(
Posted by: kathryn at August 19, 2002 2:48 PMWell Kathryn, that explains the lack of trackback pings!
I tried to tweak the trackback file and looks like I munged it up. I've replaced it with a back up so let's see if that helps.
Posted by: Promo at August 19, 2002 3:04 PMFinally finished!
My fave dessert: yellow cake with chocolate frosting! :P
Mine are up, but only in Italian. I'm a first timer with a poor English so... perhaps in the future. Sorry.
