Sorry, no tip.

If you could teleport to any place in the world right this second, where would you go?

What have you changed your mind about?

Who I'm voting for on Super Tuesday.  It was going to be Edwards...but now...I dunno.  I'm leaning towards Obama.  I keep flashing back to my living room when I heard him speak for the first time at the last Convention and thought "WHO is that smart, passionate, on point, good looking future President?"  That was my gut instinct about him.  I dunno, I might stick with Edwards because I really admire that he just doesn't give a crap and says what he thinks.   And I do love Hillary Clinton, she's always been one of my sheroes - but I confess Bill has a lot to do with that.  I admire them as a team.  And I also appreciate what she has done as my Senator.

Wow.  I'm actually undecided for the first time ever. 

To be honest, I don't care who it is.  I really don't.  I think they are all good.  They would all make excellent Presidents.  And I'm bitter about being forced to consider who would make the best candidate.  This is why I dislike Primaries as it is.  They feel so unnatural to me because the focus shouldn't be about the future campaign.

I've had an active history in politics and I've devoted mounds of energy to the Democratic Party my entire life - literally.  Heck, I've even been on the payroll before.  I've served my time, in many ways.  So I guess I'm saving up my Yellow Dog Democratic passion for the months leading up to the actual election which is when I feel like exuding my energy will be more worthwhile.

What fragrance/cologne do you put on when it's your night out? 
Submitted by noiq.

My fave.  I prefer the body lotion.  I do well with rose scents...

Audio: What's your favorite carol or holiday song?

Look, I'm not really all cheery cheesy crazy about most Christmas music.  Like really, Josh Groban's whiny Ave Maria just doesn't impress.  Puke on a stick.  But when Christmas music is good - it's good.

I love The Roches Christmas album, We Three Kings, the most.

The first time I heard the first song, I wept, it's so glorious.  I'll post two up here, my fave song being the first - the weep inducer.  What amazes me about these talented singer-songwriters from New Jersey is that even though there are only three of them, they sound like an entire choir.  I really don't know how they do it.  And the alto is really a bass, she has the lowest female range I've ever heard, as is demonstrated in the second song I will post.

EnJOY!

What is your favorite dish on the Thanksgiving table?
Submitted by Kadeeae.  

Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.  And honestly I have two fave dishes...but mainly because they go so well together. 

The first is homemade egg noodles w/ turkey gravy.  I'm so spoiled.  Everything on the table at my house is homemade, even the cranberry sauce (thanks Aunt Norma!).  Mom goes all out every year and many others contribute, as well.  My job is to clean the house, set the table and to eat, of course.  But the noodles, especially, are a work of love.  Rolled out and left to sit over night, covered with tea towels to repel the cat/dog hair and then cut up into strips the next day.  They are served in turkey gravy [Insert Homer Simpson's drool sound here].  God, they are GOOD.    

The second is - OMGTATERS!1!!11! - mashed, that is.  My dad's and my aunt Phyllis' are teh best!  It was several years back that a certain family inside joke began - the mashed potato fog.  I was immersed in my mashed potatoes and was supposedly asked to pass something and did not hear it.  Our family friend Delores said "You can't ask Dora for anything right now, can't you see she's lost in a mashed potato fog?"  The phrase has stuck around. 

Hoops and Yo Yo agree with me on the wonders of mashed taters.  Click on that link and check out "Fun with Taters", you won't regret it.

And of course Winston does, too:

[ED - Good Idea Stephel!]  You gotta love geeks...

What's your cure for the common cold? (especially colds involving mucus and sore throat)
