Today’s Question:
If you knew you only had 30 days left to live, would books and reading still hold such a great priority in your life? Or, would you set aside your reading to do something else, spend more of your time elsewhere? What would you do, instead?
My Answer:
Oh my…I can’t even imagine being in that situation but know that it does happen.  First and foremost I would spend as much time as I could with my family!!  And while they slept I might put time into reading a few books.  I would try and survive on very little sleep and try to live every minute.

Meet Me On Monday (3 of 4)

Hosted by Java from Never Growing Old
From Java’s blog:
 “Meet Me On Monday!”

  Blogging is a funny thing…we tell our most intimate thoughts for all to read and yet most of the time I find myself sitting and wondering, “who is this person!?” I know them…but yet I don’t know them! I want to know who the person is behind all those words so I thought of a great way for all of us to “meet” each other!
  Every Sunday I will post five get to know you questions that you can copy and paste into your own Monday post and we can all learn a little more about each and every one of us!!
  “Its a great way to to meet new friends and for others to get to know me better….one Monday at a time!!!”….as quoted by the Chacogirl!!
  I will make this SIMPLE and FUN!!!

Questions:
1. Do you wear socks to bed?
Photobucket
Yes…in the winter.  I have Raynaud’s Syndrome and that affect my hands and feet.
2. Do you have any pets?
Photobucket
It’s actually my son’s dog.  Bronx (named for the NY Yankees) is a weimarener
who suffers from seperation anxiety and will be moving out within the next
couple of weeks because my son just purchased a house
3. What topping(s) do you like on your pizza?
Photobucket
Cheese, Pepperoni, Black Olives, Mushrooms and it has to be well done.
4. What time do you go to bed?
Photobucket
Between 10 -11pm and am up by 5am
5. Would you rather get free chocolate for one year or free potatoes forever?
Photobucket
Is there any other answer!!!!!
Now that you have met me and know a little bit more about me, its your turn.  Would love to know more about you!!!! 

Mailbox Monday (2 of 4)

Photobucket
This month is being hosted by Kathy from Bermudaonion,
and she always has a very busy mailbox week!!!!

Mailbox Monday was created by Marcia of The Printed Page and is now on tour.
According to Marcia, “Mailbox Monday is the gathering place for readers to share the books that came into their house last week. Warning: Mailbox Monday can lead to envy, toppling TBR piles and humongous wish lists.”

Slapdash Topic: $ Fee For Blogs (1 of 2)

SUNDAY

Hosted by Kayla at The Eclectic Element

Slapdash Sunday is a day for your proverbial week ‘leftovers.’ Is there something you wanted to say, but just forgot? Is there something you want to write about, but isn’t worth a whole page? Do you have a random thought, funny or otherwise that needs to be written down?
That is what Slapdash Sunday is for!

Did you hear about this? Was in the news a couple of weeks ago.  PA wants to charge fees for those residents that have a blog!!!

   The city of Philadelphia wants bloggers to pay $300 for a business license, even if they haven’t made any money from their work. To put it mildly, this is probably not the best way to attract members of the creative class. It also seems like a good example of what happens when you take laws that were meant to apply to street peddlers and apply them to people who “work in” Philadelphia in only the least important sense of the phrase. Philly’s excellent City Paper reports: See complete article here.

I believe the majority of the book blogging community make $0.00 from their blogs. It is done mainly as a hobby and to connect with others that love to read. Personally, I would be torn. Would you continue blogging if a fee were to become mandatory? Would you be willing to pay? If so, how much?

Would love to hear your thoughts on this subject!!! Let’s have a Slapdash Discussion
