How do you handle phone calls from telemarketers?

That's a silly question. 

I don't handle them at all.  I have caller ID, so I don't answer if I know it's not a person calling, and at work, I tell them it's a business, or that we're not interested, and that's it.

I wonder why I used to get so worked up about them...

What method do you use to prepare your coffee or tea?

Today, on my first day of vacation, I made what I like to call the "ghetto mocha."  Put a packet of hot chocolate in your cup, then fill it up with regular hot coffee and stir.  Tah-dah!  Ghetto Mocha.

Have you ever met any celebrities? Any interesting stories?

Joe and I were in line at McDonald's inside the MGM Grand hotel in Las Vegas.  Just minding our own bidness.  When a guy came up, followed by his large, black, body guard.  I knew he was one of the Backstreet Boys, but I had no idea which one.  I just looked at him, thought, "Wow, he's just a little guy."  I knew that Joe had no idea who he was.  Then, the Backstreet Boy started chatting up my husband.  And before I could say, "Hey, wait a minute," Joe was letting him cut in front of us.  What the heck!  I was so mad.  I mean, sure, he had a "Celebrity" golf tournament for charity to go to, but we had stuff to do too!

I was standing there, trying to smile politely, and I happened to look behind him, and saw a large group of thirteen-year-old girls running toward him, making surprisingly little noise.  I was about to smile in anticipation of him getting rushed, and me and Joe getting our spot in line back, when suddenly, the bodyguard stepped between the Backstreet Boy and the mob of teenage girls, and crossed his arms and said, "Not.  Today.  Girls." 

They instantly stopped their headlong rush into the Backstreet Boy, slumped their shoulders and put on their pouty faces en masse, and slunk away.  The most interesting thing I've ever seen.

And that's my one brush with celebrity.
