Those Silly Little Quizzes

FOUR FOR FRIDAY from belicove.com

Q1 - Holiday: If you could celebrate any holiday twice in one year, which one would it be, and what time of the year would you celebrate it for a second time?

Thanksgiving, it is a four day weekend.

Q2 - Constitution : In your opinion, which of the following issues most needs to be addressed by a Constitutional Amendment: Balanced Budget, Flag Burning, Gay Marriage, Privacy Rights, Something Else, or the Constitution is Fine As Is and Does Not Need Any Further Amendments Right Now?

I am not in favor of any Constitutional Amendment, but the should work on making these laws
Balanced Budget – most definitely.
Flag Burning – no way, when was the last time there was a flag burning. It was something like three years ago.
Gay Marriage – most definitely, I am all for marriage equality.
Privacy Rights – Obey the Constitutional, no warrant less searches or wiretap
Something Else – Civil Rights that include sexual orientation, gender and gender expression.

Q3 - Computer Applications: Last week, Google announced that it would soon launch Google Spreadsheet, a web-based application that someday may compete with Microsoft Excel. How do you feel about web-based applications and programs verses having applications like Microsoft Office (which include Word and Excel) loaded directly onto your computer's hard drive? In other words, all things being equal, do you think you'd ever switch from Microsoft Excel (or Word) to a program like Google Spreadsheet, or do you like the control and comfort associated with having your computer programs and applications right on your own hard drive?

It might be a good idea; it could be a way of sharing data. But I want to wait and see.

Q4 - Trash: What was the last thing you threw into a trashcan?

An old pizza box

  1. I would not make it very long on only 5 hours of sleep! And I completely agree with you regarding the snooze button- I just can't get the concept of sleeping and being woken up over and over again in 5 minute intervals.
