Subject: The Official Share a Story Thread

Posted by: Terry
Date: Aug 24 12

If you are directed here by a FunTrivia challenge, please reply ONLY in this thread for the challenge. Only posts made here will count towards your challenge!

[ And no, you will be DIRECTED to come here. Posting here without having an already issued challenge will not result in anything! Still, you can post a story if you feel like it anyway ;) ]


If sent here, the title says it all. Your challenge is to share a story.

Tell us, briefly, about something funny or interesting that has happened to you recently. Or something sad. Or something scary. Or something exciting. Something funny or strange you saw?

If nothing funny or interesting or scary or exciting has happened, then write us a poem. Or a song. Or tell us a joke.

Or just tell us what you did today. Did all you accomplish was to brush your teeth? Did you fail to even do that? Do share...

Feeling grumpy today? Tell us what irritates you. What TV show can't you stand? What TV show are you watching that you like?

So go ahead, we're listening. The only rules are that you be polite and follow our very simple rules up above.

Tell us a story...

Asking for a second story in the same week. Either they really like my stories or they want me to give it a better shot. You be the judge.

I had cataract surgery on my right eye on February 2nd and I'm having the left one done on May 24th. The between time has been a little awkward as I still need to wear my glasses just for reading, but the now good eye doesn't like that. It will be wonderful seeing everything so much brighter and being able to see the quizzes clearer, hopefully I will be able to increase my speed when I can see the questions better.

Tekka, it's almost time for your 2nd surgery anyway, but what my eye doc did was take the lens out of my glasses for the eye done first.

I have an adorable little boy (cat) who is full of mischief and his antics keep me from getting bored. My stepdaughters put their handbags on the floor, open, when they come just to see him unload them. Nothing is sacred and I am forever fishing missing biros from underneath the cabinet in the dining room.

Starting to read The Tyranny of Metrics, since our organization is thinking about using performance metrics.

Has anyone ever had a preacher call out someone's name from the pulpit because they weren't singing the hymns? Happened to hubby--he can't carry a tune in a bucket, has macular degeneration and can't read the small print in the hymnal, both good reasons for not singing. Embarrassing and hurtful thing for a preacher to do.

I can't believe the number of times I'm sure I had the correct answer, but was marked wrong. A Google search proves that I was indeed wrong. This just confirms FunTrivia does an excellent job editing quizzes for accuracy. I also enjoy the grammar quizzes since this seems to be a lost skill these days

I'm off of work today and I don't feel like doing anything. I've been working a lot and I'm tired (& lazy too). I guess I'll play some trivia!

May the Fourth!
A shout out to all the Star Wars fans out there. I still remember seeing the first film the week after it opened at the Meridian Mall in East Lansing, MI.

East Lansing was always a great town to see blockbusters in because the surrounding area was geared up to handle the influx of students to Michigan State University each fall. That meant that summers there had a sleepy feel to them.

Everything (including movie theaters) had a bit of an empty feel.

Plus the large number of academics that lived in and around the area made for a cultured community when contrasted with mostly rural mid-Michigan.

I went back a week later and dragged a lot of the neighborhood kids that I'd grown up with to see it as well. We all agreed, the best summer film we'd ever seen.

May 02 19 njbruce A Matter of Timing Awarded to a player who scores 10/10 in the Piece of Cake easy game precisely within the half second range of 40.00 and 40.50 seconds.

Funny thing about that one. I was trying for a daily challenge of getting 10 of 10 within 40 seconds in the Easy Game. At least I got this unusual badge for my effort. I admit that one of my drawbacks is my speed. I missed the daily challenge by .35 of a second.

I am a figure of fun, or a living joke, in the words of Abe Simpson. I had to phone my kids’ school to tell them they weren’t coming in, and I told the school my son left four years ago. What a faux pas.

Since I have "The Challenge" today, I will echo what others have already written here:

May the Fourth be with you this Star Wars Day.
