Monday Mission 2.38

First order of business, the mailing list. I have created a whole new "Monday Mission Mailing list" on a whole new program. It allows you to control your settings, such as unsubscribe. With nearly 600 folks on the old list, it was beyond my ability to manage it and it was also probably 70% full of folks who didn't participate anymore. This week's MMML was the LAST one from the old mailing list. So EVERYONE will need to re-subscribe via the box on the top left sidebar on my homepage if you still want to be included. Sorry for the bother, but in the end, it is a good thing.

Secondly, to ease load time, the MM Link List has been temporarily moved to a popup link, as has the Label Yourself Link List. I will return them both soon, once I find some JavaScript code that allows you to select what sidebar items to display permanently (if you know of some, please tell me). But you can still click on the links in the sidebar to add yourself, so please do so if you'd like. BTW, if you use Blogrolling.com, be sure to add me to your link list!

Finally, if this is your first Monday Mission, please tell us! We love to have First Timers!

Ok, pack it up, pack it in, let me begin....

PromoGuy's Monday Mission 2.38

1. When I was young, my Mom would always drink a cold Dr. Pepper in the morning. Me, I can go either way. I like a Cold Frappucchino in the Summer months and switch to warm Mocha Espresso in the Fall. Do you like to drink warm beverages in the morning or do you prefer yours cold?

2. Have you ever been so upset with someone that you wanted to get revenge? What did you do? Or if you didn't, what would you like to have done?

3. Sometimes I can look back at my past and see so many things that I was too naive to take advantage of. A time where I could have moved ahead in my career if only I'd chosen to move, the High School girlfriend who said she would do anything if I just asked, and so on. Looking back, are there any opportunities you missed out on that you can see now but didn't realize then?

4. Today I tried on my black slacks, and they are just a skosh too tight (yeah it's a real word, look it up). Of course, I wore them anyway. Are there any clothes you refuse to throw away even though they don't (and never will) fit? Why do you keep them?

5. Although my speech classes eliminated most if it, I still have a little Okie accent left. I say "Git" instead of "Get" and "Collar" instead of "Color." Do you have an accent? Are there any phrases or words you say that tip folks that "you aren't from around these parts?"

6. Speaking of phrases, it really drives me nuts when folks say "very unique" (Unique has no degrees, it is either unique or it isn't) or "irregardless" (not a real word). Are there any words folks misspell or incorrect uses of words that simply drive you insane?
 

7. I am guilty of using pet names a bit too often, like "honey," "babe," and "sweetie." However, currently, no one uses any pet names on me (and I think I'd like one). Are there any pet names that you like to be called? Any you don't? Do you (or did you) have any pet names for your partner?

BONUS: Why you so fly?

Today's comment question: Do you prefer a stick shift or automatic?
