Thank goodness for Friends!

Where would we be without our friends?

Friends come in all sizes, shapes, colors and gender.

Some friends you shop with, some friends you dine with and some friends you talk to on the phone. And then there are the friends you make online. The people who you'll probably never meet or even know the last name of. These are special people who check in on you on a daily basis and leave a comment. The online friends are the people who often the reason why we keep on blogging.

During the month of November I will be saluting my bloggy friends by featuring their blog button on my sidebar. To get yours posted, simply email the button code to me.

In exchange, here is my special updated button for you to place on your sidebar.

Has anyone ever said you looked like a celebrity?

Please join us on Friday for our brand new meme! Click on this image to check our our first week!

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing. Sunday Stealing originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme. Let's go!

Today we ripped this memeoff a blogger named Sarah at the blog Lady Mama. She states thatParty Mummy (she did not provide a link) insisted she do the meme.But, it was probably stolen there as well. So, of course, that will be as far as we go. Tracing back our theft's thieves might take some time. Link back to us at Sunday Stealing!

Cheers to all us thieves!

I am absolutely terrible at this!!

Welcome to The Dating Profiles Meme . This meme is based on a feature from WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Either you have used sites such as Match.com or Yahoo Personals or you’ve read them. Weekly, we scour those on-line dating sites to respond either a person's profile or often their headlines as most of us would really like to do. We use only "lines" that are gender-neutral. So, your mission is to respond to ten we choose each week. Seriously or with humor is your choice! The spelling or grammar errors were in the original profiles. Join us each and every Friday!
