I never would have gotten this one right, I don't own a toaster.

Not at all? We don't have a traditional toaster but we have a toaster over. Sheesh, I couldn't live without that, we use it for way more than toast. I can cook a meatloaf in there. Especially with keet off to school, I hardly ever use the real oven anymore.

No toaster, no toaster oven, nothing even remotely resembling any of the above.

I don't think we're supposed to put this much thought into the quizzes. We are clearly Mensa candidates.

. . I certainly agree . . . but these survey participants need to at least try . . .

. . make proper toast, my ^%@ . .

No, I live in a 2 bedroom, 2 bath condo.

This may take awhile.
I don't have anything on the walls in the master bedroom, except paint.
The second bedroom, where I have my computer:
above the closet is my law school graduation picture (the whole class on the steps outside Avery Fisher Hall at Lincoln Center on graduation day, not just me) flanked by one plaque for being an editor of one of the journals the school published and another plaque for being a member of the Alumni Giving Council based on the amount of money I donated to the school after I graduated;
on the wall that would be above the head of the bed, if there was a bed in the second bedroom, is the certificate you get when you're admitted to the bar flanked by a certificate I got along with the plaque for being an editor and my American Jurisprudence award for getting the highest grade in my Property Law class;
one one side of the window is my law school diploma, on the other side is the first 4 backstage passes I got for Buffett concerts with the corresponding ticket stubs for each show (all in one frame) and a guitar pick in the middle; underneath that is a small picture of Mac McAnally along with one of his guitar picks;
the 4th wall has 2 rows of framed stuff - the top row is an autographed setlist with a guitar pick from a Sonia Leigh concert, a picture of me and Miranda Lambert and a backstage pass from when I was on the meet & greet list when she opened for Kenny Chesney at Jones Beach 5 years ago and an autographed setlist, guitar pick and ticket stub from a ZZ Ward concert; the 2nd row is an autographed picture of Rachel Potter (no relation to Grace Potter) from when I saw her at Joe's Pub 2 years ago (the picture is the cover shot from her EP that had just been released, they were selling the picture for $1) flanked by autographed pictures of Sara Jean Underwood, Playboy's Miss July 2006 and Playmate of the Year 2007 and Shannon James, Playboy's Miss May 2007; they're both fully clothed in the pictures I have, they were publicity shots when they did personal appearances at the Hawaiian Tropic Zone Restaurant in NYC.
In my dining room I have blow-ups of 2 pictures I took - one is a winter scene in Central Park and the other is at Jones Beach a day or 2 after we had about 20 inches of snow.
In the living room I have blow-up of a picture I took of Miranda Lambert that she autographed for me, we were allowed to bring one item for her to sign at the meet & greet; 2 more backstage passes from Buffett shows (separate frames) with the ticket stubs from both shows and an 8X10 of a picture I took at each show (I have one more backstage pass that I haven't gotten around to framing yet); a picture of me and Heidi Newfield with a guitar pick and my ticket stub, that she autographed, from when I saw her at Joe's Pub; behind the couch I have a Little Feat poster that was signed by all the members of the band and the poster from the Buffett show at Nissan, or Jiffy Lube Live, whatever it was called that year, from Critterpalooza 2009.
Last but not least, the biggest item framed and hanging on the wall is the t-shirt I bought at the Buffett concert in Nashville in April, 2002. It was 2 days before my 50th birthday, I never wore the shirt and it's signed by every member of the band except Roger Guth. That includes people no longer in the band - Heather, Jules, Amy and TC.

. .and since we're at it . . . what is in your fridge . . ? ?

. .

Milk, orange juice, fruit, cold cuts for lunch, condiments, pickles, eggs, butter, salsa and one shelf is for nothing but beer. The freezer's full of meat. Nothing's in the fridge thawing out right now.

That was exhausting, I think I need a beer.

. . interesting . . . first, you do deserve all your accolades for your education and career choices . . . well done . .

. . I would think from all the amazing pictures you have posted, you would have more of them displayed . .

. . all my Jimmy related momentos are scattered here, there and yonder . . there is not one visible Jimmy image in my house . .

. . just a few more questions , if I might . . .

. . oooops . . . just realized I hi-jacked this Mindbender . . .

. . would love to ask more on perhaps another thread . . if you're willing . . ? ?

. . has anything I've asked, or stated made you uncomfortable . . . ? ? . . didn't think so . . .

. .so is that a yes, or no . . ? ?

[LIPH]

It it made me uncomfortable I wouldn't have answered. And yes. But I've been BNer Of The Week 4 or 5 times, I didn't think there were any questions I hadn't already answered.

[balcony girls]

. .then yes, it is . . . but you haven't answered MY questions . . another time, another thread . .

. . now . . congrats to Bicycle Bill for your correct answer . . ! !

. . hi-jack over . .
