Question Friday 5

1. If money was not an issue, how far would you choose to go in making your life green?

2. Do you prefer your cookies to be soft and chewy, or crisp and crunchy?

3. What was the last "snail mail" that you received that was significant?

4. What job would you never want to have to do?

5. Plans for the weekend?

5. Plans for the weekend?
  1. Recycle, live on a large plot of land and use wind energy. (no super crazy stuff like the green nuts do)
  2. Soft and chewy... and still warm!
  3. Freaking bills, I get them every month!
  4. Clean up after old people if you get my drift
  5. Having dinner in the city with the wife tonight, nothing on Saturday, and going Music store hoping (Guitar Center, etc) in the city and maybe stop by Washington Square Park on Sunday to watch a little Chess
Formerly the notorious nyc!

I've got more red flags than Soviet Russia!

There is a good chance that you don't like me, but there is a better chance that I don't care.

If I'm not insulting you, I'm probably not aware that you exist.



Jerry Jones in the draft room is suicide on the football field. The line of scrimmage is EVERYTHING. Something Jerry doesn't understand.

1. No more than it is now
2. Soft and chewy
3. Bills are all I ever get
4. I like NYC's also
5. Work/chores/graduation party

This is a team who is battling several major injuries to
key players including Pro Bowl talents like Lee, Austin, Jenkins, Murray,
Carter and Ratliff. Other key starters missing include Costa, Smith, Church and
Coleman. That is 11 key players - that's half the starting lineup. Yet we still went 8-8.

1. If money was not an issue, how far would you choose to go in making your life green? I have always wanted a solar powered home.

3. What was the last "snail mail" that you received that was significant? Birthday card.

4. What job would you never want to have to do? Septic pump truck.

5. Plans for the weekend? Everyone better say Mother's Day

About 7-8 years ago, they had a major mechanical breakdown at the main waste water treatment plant near downtown Dallas. It resulted in untreated sewage backing-up and flooding streets, a golf course etc, starting in the SW part of the city, and expanded rapidly from there.

They determined that a large valve, at the junction of the 12' main sewage intake line into the plant, was malfunctioning.

The only way to repair this "door-like" valve, was to send a scuba diver, down that pipe to repair the actuator that opened and closed this door.

THAT job, I'm 110% sure I don't want to ever have to do!

1. Buy a hybrid SUV

2. Either

3. A congratulations letter from my aunt for getting a degree

4. Roofer and any other job involving heights. They paralyze me. You could't pay me $1,000,000 to do this:



5. See my mom, nothing other than that

1. If money was not an issue, how far would you choose to go in making your life green?

I'd definitely make energy saver improvements to the house and do some composting. I'd buy some rain collection tanks to go on the side of the house instead of letting it run down the gutters.

I have a friend that has made a lot of changes to become more self-sufficient, and I would definitely follow her lead on some things.

2. Do you prefer your cookies to be soft and chewy, or crisp and crunchy?

Depends on the cookie

3. What was the last "snail mail" that you received that was significant?


A "thank you" card from my boss and his wife for a baby gift I got them.

4. What job would you never want to have to do?

Any job where I would be in the direct vicinity of human waste.

5. Plans for the weekend?

Working Saturday, not sure what the plan is for Mother's Day.

That's for true!

The 6:00 news had this guy on tape gearing-up, preparing to go down into that pipe.

I was like, if that was me, I'd of demanded they blurred my face to protect my identity. No WAY I'd of wanted anyone to know what I done at work that day!
