Even though I generally ignore these kinds of things, the following survey interested me for reasons I still don’t understand. So I copied this from Kathleen who took it from Fermi, who ripped it off from LL, who got it from Sunshine. No tagging, just a survey with random questions. Copy the list, edit the answers, and call it your name with "ology" on the end.

Q: Worrying about?
A: I don’t know if I’m worried, but I am wondering about the broader implications of the latest round of buyouts at Ford Motor. If the people who take the buyout are replaced by other workers at a substantially lower cost what is that going to mean over the next 20 years? Will other industries follow? What effect will this have on the middle class? Will it strengthen the unions in the long run since they will now have things to bargain for again or will or will they continue to weaken? If wages do fall across the board will that make US products more competitive globally? Will it lead to a return of some of those jobs that have been off-shored?

A: National Treasure: Book of Secrets. 3 hours ago.
Q: Do you smile often?
A: Yes.
Q: Are you a friendly person?
A: I think I’m a little laid back. My wife disagrees and claims I’m outgoing. I am generally predisposed to like everyone, so I guess she’s right and the answer is yes.

Once I get my Smoking Fish cap I'm going to wear it everywhere in Dearborn, just to see if we're ever in the same places. Wouldn't it be funny if we had chatted standing in line at Kroger in the past?
Oooh, sushi. Yeah, I could definitely eat that every day for two weeks. I need to go soon!
You make pizza? I'm too lazy to cook for myself. When I was dating the Libertarian, I actually cooked real food a good 3 times! That's huge for me. ;-)
Left-handed? That explains a lot. ;-)
I think it's interesting that the guys all answer the Kill a person for $1,000,000 question essentially the same way. I'm thinking you'd get along with the ZombieSlayer.
I've kind of wondered the same thing myself. Every time I see a short haired woman I think "I wonder if that's Kathleen". If you see me in Kroger (the one on the north side of Michigan) I'll be with The Peanut and Mona (a blue eyed redhead).
Mona and I want to try the Sushi at Kaos on Telegraph. We used to really love Crave but the quality and th presentation seem to have really fallen off. We usually go out to Yotsuba in W. Bloomfield now.
Pizza is easy. LaCantina market on Telegraph (next to Baskin Robins) sells fresh pizza dough, so I don't really cook so much as assemble. If you want to start cooking, that's a good way to ease into it, in my opinion. Now that I'm in school and we have The Peanut I don't cook like I used to.
There is definitely such a thing as masculine and feminine virtues (Disclaimer: although they are identified by gender and more common by gender they are generalizations. Men and women exhibit both philosophies and don't usually exclude either one totally) and there's no doubt in my mind that they affect views on punishment.
I once heard that men are more likely to find a rapist guilty as members of a jury than women are. Real men don't accept the "she was asking for it" argument, but surprisingly some women do.
My view on punishment tends to be more retributivist. I believe that punishment is internally related to a crime and correction or rehabilitation is not the aim of punishment. I didn't fully understand what my philosophy was until I took that ethics class last semester. It didn't change my mind on much, but it did help me understand my point of view and apply it more consistently.
And since some people have already gotten their hats I'm hoping to have mine today.
It's the other reason I'm working from home today. The main reason is The Peanuts fever. I think it's because she has 4 teeth coming in right now.
We'l find out at the pediatricians office tomorrow.
I'm a south side of Michigan Ave Kroger person. The Farmer Jack didn't carry veggie burgers when I first moved back, so I stick with the Kroger on my side of the street (anytime I can avoid driving Michigan Avenue, I do - I can take back streets to My Kroger).
Hmm, I'm also a blue-eyed redhead.
I boycott Crave because they keep me awake all friggin' summer long. I hate them and refuse to give them money. My sushi restaurant is Godaiko in AA and Novi. A friend owns it.
I'm having trouble placing the Baskin-Robbin on Telegraph. I usually take the Southfield when I head out of Dearborn, unless I'm heading to Canton (aka Hell), then it's straight out Mich Ave.
I'm jealous that you worked at home today. Mondays I don't get home until almost 5:00, so you got yours way before me. ;-(
I agree that women can be harder on women, but I would hope like hell I wouldn't be one of those women who listen to a rapist and not the victim. I'm of two minds on the prison as rehabilitation vs punishment. I hope some people can be rehabilitated, while others I want them to rot in jail.
I don't think I know Godaiko. We found one place in AA that we really liked on S. University near Washtenaw, but I don't remember the name. Where's the one in Novi?
And if you can hear Crave at night you must be pretty close. I can't think of any apartments near there, just condos. I would think the trains would bother you just as much. For us it's Telegraph. It's directly behind us and in the summer there's plenty of idiots with more horsepower than brains or mufflers who think that drag racing at 3 AM is a great idea.
Baskin Robins is south of Ford and north of Wilson (the light past Cherry Hill). It's a 2 block walk from the ol' homestead. Do you know the Einstein bagel? Three blocks north from there.
And the Taco Bell I go to on Telegraph is at Ann Arbor trail. When you asked me a while back were you thinking of the one over near Annapolis?
I actually would have rather gone to the office today. I was home with The Peanut. She has 4 canine teeth coming in at the same time and is running a temp around 102. I got nothing done because she wanted to be held most of the time and a nap was out of the question. Not a lot of fun. But then again, if I had gone to work I wouldn't have made it home until almost 9:30 because of school. So I guess there was an upside. I wore it to school today.
I don't have a problem with rehabilitation. I just think it should be separate from punishment. Prison should be a place where you are entitled to nothing but 3 meals a day, someplace you never want to go again. After the punishment phase ends, then we'll help you understand why what you did was wrong and show you how not to do that again. Unless your crime is so heinous that rehabilitation is impossible. Then we're not going to waste time or resources on you. Speedy trials, speedier appellate process and a speedy execution.
Godaiko is on Main Street/Saline south of I-94 in the same "plaza" as the Outback Steakhouse. Their Novi one is at Fountain Walk (coming off 96 at Novi Road, take the middle lane and go straight across Novi Road, stay to the right, go past the stop sign, and turn right when you can.) It's next to the Cost Plus.
I'm so used to the trains that I don't hear them anymore, for the most part, but 100 decibels of loud crappy music for five hours straight? Oh yeah. I'm over on Oakwood, a good 1/4 of a mile away, according to the police. I could tell you the set list if I listened to crappy music.
Ah, I thought you were off Telegraph south of Michigan Ave for some reason. Gotcha.
I know that Taco Bell, I used to take Ann Arbor Trail home from college when Hines was closed. I usually go to the one on Michigan Avenue, other side of Telegraph.
