Oh and Day 14 ? A non-fictional book

Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives cookbook

( 30 day meme )

And for those of you interested, here is a brief history on my post about my family yesterday.

My family name isn't famous really, more infamous.

The Hatfields and The McCoys the wiki page.

Devil Anse Hatfield He was actually my Great-great grandfather. I actually have an original picture much like the one on the page at home.

Countless books and movies were made. Even Bugs Bunny Cartoons had The Martins(cousins of ours) and the Coys. Why they changed the names, I don't know since everyone at the time knew who they were supposed to be.

The Hatfield-McCoy feud is also said to be the inspiration for the game show, Family Feud.

There was a Scooby-Doo episode involving the Hatfields and McCoys, in which the Hatfields have ended up living in the McCoys' cabin after their own cabin was washed away in a storm. They are haunted by the ghost of Old Witch McCoy, a woman executed for witchcraft years before, until the gang unmasks her as one of a pair of bank robbers who have come to the area to find their loot.

Personally, I like that my family name is infamous. That is one of the reasons that I took my maiden name back when I got divorced.

People feel the need to talk to me. I don't want them to but they do it anyway. So, this guy is trying to make conversation with me and notices my last name.

Our short conversation.

"Hatfield? Any relation to the feuding Hatfields?"
I'm still typing, "Same ones. My Great Grandfather was Devil Anse."
"Really? Bet you got teased about it growing up."
"Not really. It's hard to tease someone about their mass murdering family."
Silence.

Day 13 ? A fictional book

Dead Until Dark - Charlaine Harris

( 30 day meme )

1. Pick 20 of your favourite movies.
2. Go to IMDB, and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.

N.B. La version e-book peut être téléchargée GRATUITEMENT (à partir d'un lien sur la page du livre). N'hésitez pas à choisir cette option si lire sur un écran ne vous dérange pas, parce que de toute façon les versions imprimées ne me rapportent rien non plus : j'ai laissé les livres au prix de l'impression.

I sent out some random coupons from eljay this morning along with the requested ones. If you don't want it and I sent it to you, just decline it so it can be credited back to me and I can give it to someone else.

Last night was the Christmas program at the boys school. David had a speaking part as Isaac the Angel and he did a marvelous job. *beams* Daniel was a backup snowflake. lol
It was fun. Then mom and I went to Walmart and finished our Christmas shopping. Almost. I still need to buy my dad a gift and I have to take the boys to buy a gift for each other tomorrow. Then stocking stuffers but, I can get those at the dollar store.

This morning I was running kinda late to work because I had to take in cupcakes, napkins and drinks to the boys classrooms for their parties today. Then we passed out the teachers' gifts. One to each of their classroom teachers, one to the librarian (because we ♥ her, she's so awesome) and one to the art teacher.

Day just started and I'm tired already.

Day 10 ? A photo of you taken over ten years ago

Okay, so it seems that as a permanent account holder, I'm entitled to give away 10 coupons for $10 for upgrade for Basic/Plus users. If you hold a basic or plus account and are interested in a reduced upgrade price, please let me know and I'll gladly send you a coupon!

LJ says:
If you have a Paid or Permanent account [that'd be me], you can send up to 10 LiveJournal Basic/Plus users a $10 coupon for an annual paid subscription now through January 15th, 2010. Recipients can upgrade for $9.95 (instead of $19.95) for one year by enrolling in our automatic payment plan or make a manual payment of $15 (instead of $25). Please note that these coupons are not transferable and cannot be used to renew existing paid accounts.

Last night I watched Terminator: Salvation. It was a pretty good flick. Of course the whole time all I can hear in my head is Christian Bale shouting, "It's fucking distracting!" So, I was a bit... well... distracted.

Day 09 ? A photo you took

( Big pics and 30 day meme )

I saw this...

Share the love with our $10 holiday coupons! If you're a Paid or Permanent user, you can send up to 10 Basic or Plus users a $10 coupon to upgrade to a one year paid account. Recipients can upgrade for $9.95 (instead of $19.95) for one year by enrolling in our automatic payment plan or make a manual payment of $15 (instead of $25). Please note that these coupons are not transferable and cannot be used to renew existing paid accounts.

...and I thought I would ask if someone's interested. Let me know. Don't hesitate to ask. I can't guess who would like one, and if my oldest friends are not interested or have a paid account already, I don't mind sending the remaining coupons to people I barely know. I screen the comments.

FRANÇAIS : En résumé, si je vous envoie un de ces bons d'achat, vous pouvez avoir un an de compte payant pour environ 10€ (mais seulement si vous n'avez pas encore de compte payant, bien sûr). N'hésitez pas à demander, sinon je ne saurai pas à qui les proposer. Si mes plus anciennes amies ne sont pas intéressées ou ont déjà un compte payant, envoyer les bons restants à des gens que je connais à peine ne me dérangerait pas. Les commentaires ne seront visibles que pour moi et leurs auteurs respectifs.

I found this on the internet this morning. Thought I would share.

Dr. Laura Schlessinger is a radio personality who dispenses advice to people who call in to her radio show. Recently, she said that, as an observant Orthodox Jew, homosexuality is an abomination according to Leviticus 18:22 and cannot be condoned under any circumstance. The following is an open letter to Dr. Laura penned by a east coast resident, which was posted on the Internet. It's funny, as well as informative:

Dear Dr. Laura:
