Gimme 30 meme

I've been tagged by KSHIPPYCHIC for the Gimme 30 meme. Being a good sport, I'll play.

1. If your doctor told you TODAY that you were pregnant, what would you say?

Yes. I've done it before, I'd do it again.

4. Do you believe that everything happens for a reason?
If you're talking logically, cause and effect, then yes. If you're talking about a Master Plan that causes people pain and suffering, then no. I don't believe that our "Master Planner" inflicts pain suffering on His children.

5. Can you make a dollar in change right now?
Yes

14. If you were to wake up from being in a coma for an extended time who would you call?

16. What’s your middle name?
This is released on a need to know basis.

17. Honestly, what’s on your mind right now?
Geez, this is only the 17th question?! Seems likes I've answered a million already.

18. If you could go back in time and change something, what would it be?

Now I'm supposed to pick some others to do this meme, but I'm going to follow Anita's example and just ask for volunteers. This may mean that the meme stops here, well, so be it. A good percentage of people I've tagged in the past forgo anyhow, so I won't burden them with the choice. If you do decide to carry this meme forward, please post your link so we can check out your answers.

Payin' it Forward meme

Payin' it Forward from Anita's blog, here are the rules:

Everyone who has a blog is welcome to participate.

The first three people to leave a comment on my blog will receive a gift from me in the next 365 days.

The only condition is that those people will have to do the same on their blogs.

Pay it Forward!

Going Platinum - meme

I borrowed this meme from The Mackeydoodle.

I thought it was pretty cool so I gave it a shot. I'm really surprised with the results from the ones I've seen. I think they could actually be albums, artists and covers.

Here is what you do to make your very own album cover:

1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Random

The first article title on the page is the name of your band.

2. http://www.quotationspage.com/random.php3

The last four words of the very last quote is the title of your album.

3. http://www.flickr.com/explore/interesting/7days/

The third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover.

4. Use your graphics program of choice to throw them together.

I fudged a little and used five words for the album title, I thought it sounded a little better. Not picking anyone to do this meme but if you have a graphics program and time for a little fun, give 'er a try and then post back to my comments to let me know so I can have a look!
