Manic Monday

Lisa’s Manic Monday #145

What is the most expensive meal you've ever eaten?
That is something that I will never forget! It was in Provincetown MA, where I had a $45 lobster (those who follow my blog know that I LOVE lobster) tail not a whole lobsters mind you just the tail for $45 and even being stuffed with crabmeat it was still ridiculous! I leaned my lesson, when it says “market price” ask! I had a whole lobster a couple of day earlier and it was only $27.

What is the fastest speed you've ever traveled in a car?
Can I plea the “Fifth?” It was 112 mph back in my teenage years (I wasn't driving, my cousin was).

What is the highest building you've ever been to the top floor of?
The Empire State building and that was back when it was the tallest building in the world.

Lobster is pretty expensive, so I can believe you would pay and arm and a leg for it! I have always wanted to go to the top of the Empire State Building.

I remember as a kid my mother had lobster at a nice restaurant once and Dad used it as an excuse for not buying me something because she'd spent all the money on the lobster.

But a $45 lobster is not 'expensive'. It's mandatory!!! Especially if you're in Maine... ;-)

I too was at the Empire State and I belive it's the tallest I've been to.

Have a great week!

I totally don't do tall buildings seeing as I'm afraid of heights, and get motion sickness from riding in elevators.
I'm glad you enjoy Lobster so much, makes up for me not enjoying it all, lol

I LOVE Provincetown! Of course I haven't been there in years since I moved back West again, but boy do I miss the Cape and the seafood! I lived in Maine for a while...and I totally learned about asking about market price too!
I also picked the Empire State Building. By the time I went it wasn't the tallest, but it is still MY tallest.

Have a great Monday and beyond!

I'm allergic to lobster so I've never had it!

I've never been to the Empire State Building but I'd love to see it.

In Maine, the price of lobster is so low (relatively speaking) that there was a state-wide advertising campaign to have lobster for Thanksgiving. With all my relatives here, we had a lobster feed.

Quotes

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.

Morality cannot be legislated, but behavior can be regulated. Judicial decrees may not change the heart, but they can restrain the heartless.

A right delayed is a right denied.Like an unchecked cancer, hate corrodes the personality and eats away its vital unity. Hate destroys a man's sense of values and his objectivity. It causes him to describe the beautiful as ugly and the ugly as beautiful, and to confuse the true with the false and the false with the true.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.

Martin Luther King Jr.

No one is born hating another person… People must learn to hate and if they can learn to hate, they can be taught to love, for love comes more naturally to the human heart than its opposite.
Nelson Mandela

We can disagree and still love each other, unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist
James Baldwin

There is a fine line between free speech and hate speech. Free speech encourages debate whereas hate speech incites violence.
Newton Lee

The world will not be destroyed by those who do evil, but by those who watch them without doing anything.
Albert Einstein

"The point is that there are always obstacles, whether they seem insurmountable or merely bothersome. The question is not how difficult the path, but whether in your heart, you wish to undertake the journey."
Zandru's Forge

Keep your thoughts positive because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive because your words become your behavior. Keep your behavior positive because your behavior becomes your habits. Keep your habits positive because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive because your values become your destiny.
Mahatma Gandhi

“I have a foreboding of an America in my children's or grandchildren's time -- when the United States is a service and information economy; when nearly all the manufacturing industries have slipped away to other countries; when awesome technological powers are in the hands of a very few, and no one representing the public interest can even grasp the issues; when the people have lost the ability to set their own agendas or knowledgeably question those in authority; when, clutching our crystals and nervously consulting our horoscopes, our critical faculties in decline, unable to distinguish between what feels good and what's true, we slide, almost without noticing, back into superstition and darkness...
― Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

You've Got To Be Carefully Taught
You've got to be taught
To hate
And fear
You've got to be taught
From year
To year
Its got to
Be drummed in your dear little ear
You've got to
Be carefully
Taught
You've got to be taught
To be
Afraid
Of people
Who's eyes are oddly made
And people who's skin is a different shade
