1. Are you under pressure? I couldn’t live without being under pressure. There’s not a day that goes by that I’m under pressure.
  2. Are you tuff enuff? I think so. What doesn’t kill me, makes me stronger. :)
  3. Are you a material girl/boy? In some ways I have to say yes. But generally, I would say I am not. Money isn’t everything you know.
  4. Do you pump up the volume, pump up the volume, etc.? Yes, especially when driving. I’m a loud music listener in the car. At home, since I live in an apartment, I try not to disturb my neighbors, but if they’re not home, then pump it up baby!
  5. No, my first name ain’t baby, it’s… Yoshi. Yoshi please. :)
  6. I would die 4… A really good piece of peanut butter pie. Or better yet, some pieces of chocolate. I just can’t eat that now. (see previous post)
  7. I haven’t ________ for the longest time. …done too many things… I have a list of things I haven’t done in the longest time. The list is endless. *sigh*
  8. (thanks Lee!) Ever get on the floor and do the New Kids dance? Um. No. Not only no, but hell no. :)

While going down the cookie/sweets lane in the local Schnucks (A supermarket for those who don’t know what it is), I noticed sugar-free cookies by Murray Sugar Free Cookies. While normally cookies are a bad thing for me, being diabetic, I saw these as a good way of getting my cookie hunger down. So being the curious person that I am, I read the nutrition information. One thing I noticed was this line: “*EXCESS CONSUMPTION MAY HAVE A LAXATIVE EFFECT.” Hmm. So I looked up the ingredient that causes this, which turned out to be Polydextrose. Apparently it’s a “body-filler” and gives food a better “feel” in your mouth. It’s not digested, so therefore I can see how it has a “laxative” effect. You know, I don’t think I have such a craving for cookies after all. :)

Then there was this cashier who was just plain scary. I was just all kinds of creeped out. So I will now call her “creepy cashier person”.

Oh and consequently, “Willow” (I call her Willow because she looks like Willow from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) is back to work there. 

 

I watched the Today show and saw some people from a nursing home in NJ. They were talking about how they were cheated from the Big Game lottery, and how a co-worker had reneged on the pool at work. The co-worker of course was not on the show, and has already stated that he did not buy the winning ticket. Meanwhile, the ticket was validated and nursing home workers are trying to get their share of the money. I just thought this was really bad for the person who bought the tickets. Of course, we’re only hearing one side of the story. But who can say! If the nursing home people split their winnings, it would be around 2 million per person. That’s a big difference from the 59 million they would have won if they bought it themselves! :)
