* the challenge now is to pick the topic that this quote falls under, and then reply with a similar type quote of your own (if you can)
question:
You are given a chance to return to any previous point in your life and change a decision you made, but you will lose everything that has happened to you since then. Is there a time you would return to? If so, would you like to retain the memory of the life you are giving up even though you could never recapture it?
* feel free to offer an opinion, or a response
(it might be a bit of a silly question, but how sensible of an answer can you come up with?)

- movies @ midnight

* here's one "Think innocently and justly; and, if you speak, speak accordingly." (Benjamin Franklin)

- movies w/ movie goodies
- multiple birthday parties
- my car does give rides :)
- many kinds of wings
- morning runs on Saturdays
- Mother's Day! (of course)
- must get my tooth checked out by dentist before it kills me
- man, it's already time for renewing car registration again
- mucho school graduations
- Manny Ramirez suspended 50 games
- making snowcones
- marking up the conference Ensign articles
- meeting the author (and i know her brother)
- maximizing salads, minimizing meats
- memories of those who've passed on
- mixin' it up a little
- mental exercises: 5 riddles (for the answers you have to post a reply and ask for them)
1. A murderer is condemned to death. For his execution, he has to choose from three rooms. The first is full of raging fires, the second is full of assassins with loaded guns, and the third is full of lions that haven't eaten in three years. Which room is safest for him?
2. A woman shoots her husband. Then she holds him under water for over 5 minutes. Finally, she hangs him. But 5 minutes later they both go out together, and enjoy a wonderful dinner together. How can this be?
3. What is black when you buy it, red when you use it, and gray when you throw it away ?
4. Can you name three consecutive days without using the words Wednesday, Friday, or Sunday?
5. This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious as to just how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so ordinary and plain that you would think nothing was wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it! It is highly unusual though. Study it and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching!

You are who you say you are, a superstar...
Did you know I was famous? Do you still not believe it? Well, being that on April 2 of this year, I celebrate an anniversary of sorts. It is a personal holiday, a.k.a. my birthday
. You know you wanna eat some cake and ice cream now as soon as I blow out my candles. Then I can open up all the nice presents you did or did not get me. Well, I will enjoy the day no matter what. Another year of surviving and not thriving. Thank you for sticking it out with me. I'm greatful to know all of you. I look forward to giving you grief this time next year, you rapscallions!
