I can't recall ever seeing this word before now, but I doubt I'll ever do it because I've already given birth to a kidney stone.

Via "C-section", too. That was bad enough, but I don't think I'd have liked the "natural birth."

How many Justin Biebers?

Could YOU take on in a fight?

I would have done better if I'd had more fights in my life as well as had martial arts training. Still, 28 isn't bad. I bet my big sister could take on 35, maybe 40 Biebers before she went down.

NOTE: Sometimes with quizzes I will post a related video for comedic value.

Not in this case.

Hot Dog!

I dunno 'bout the rest of the results, but I do love me my chili dogs, plenty of onions, please.

You Are a Chili Dog

You are wild and a little unpredictable. You have a zany side to you. It would be an understatement to say you live on the edge. You pretty much ignore the edge! You have a spicy approach to life, and it's only getting hotter. There is nothing dull about you. You push yourself on a regular basis. You know what you are capable of, and you refuse to wimp out.

What Type of Hot Dog Are You?

Stay With Me - Rod Stewart

Live and unplugged

(Note: On Yahoo this tune is attributed to Stewart, but I'm pretty sure that's Ron Wood accompanying him...so wouldn't it really be "Stay With Me - Faces"??? )

I had forgotten it, but the other day I came across an old newspaper clipping of my senior year "bio" (a tradition the school newspaper did every year for each senior) listing my favorite things and I said this song was my fav. Now, I don't know why I said that, because I can think of several other tunes that I should have listed ahead of this one. (Long Cool Woman, Fortunate Son, any number of Elton John songs that were out at that time) Don't get me wrong, I like this song, but I'm still puzzled why I listed it as my number one.

Thinking on it really hard, I bet my g/f at the time and I were having problems and this was HER favorite song and I was just tryin' to score points.
