Monday Mission:

1. What in your life used to be fun, but eventually just became a chore that you didn't enjoy? The Internet. There are just some days I don't want to get on it. But, you sure do miss it when it's gone.

2. This weekend, US Troops captured Saddam Hussein and now have him in custody. How did you feel when you heard the news? Did it change your mind about the War in Iraq? Did it change your opinion of President Bush? Took them long enough. None of this would be happening had they done the job right the first time 12 years ago. As for an opinion on war, well, I just hope things start be become peaceful. I know war is wrong but at times, you can't avoid it. All I can do is hope the least amount of people will be killed. As for Bush, I'm not even going to answer.

3. Regarding the capture of Saddam, I saw one "man on the street" interview where a man grumbled that "they should have just killed Saddam. I don't know why they bothered taking him alive." What do you think, should US Troops have taken Saddam alive or just killed him when they found him? What would be the pros and cons of either? My mother said they were thisclose to throwing in a grenade in the hole when they caught him. Hopefully, being alive and having to pay for his crimes will be make dying look like a walk in a park.

4. What kind of things at Christmas time just scream "tacky" and "White Trash" when you seem them? Expensive neighborhoods with homes with pitiful decorations. Not really white trash as why bother? That lame little light tree really shows your spirit! By the way, we have no lights this year since we really aren't in the spirit at my home.

5. Suppose you had a dear friend who calls you in tears because her boyfriend had just left her. They'd been together for nearly 5 years, and one day he announces to her that he is leaving because she had gained too much weight. They were in love, or so she thought, and then out of the blue, he bails and blames it on her weight. What would you say to her about this man? Good riddance! He didn't need you, anyways. Pretty shallow of him and if that's what he wants, so be it. She doesn't need a shallow jerk like him. May someone be shallow to him one day. And if weight isn't the real reason, well, what ever it is, it's still low and she doesn't need anyone that takes the lame highway. Are you getting my point?

6. Suppose this same friend of yours still thinks she and her ex have a future. She says that she wants another chance, that if he will make some changes, she will to. She really does love him, and assures you that he loves her, even though he wants to "take a break and see other people, but if we were meant to be together we will be." There is even a hint of marriage in their future if they get back together. What advice would you give her? If she wants to, that's her choice, but he hurt her and why should I have to trust him? Change should be something you want to do, not something you should do to keep someone. If that's the only reason you are changing, then maybe he doesn't really love you.

Boy, I guess I do have a tough heart.

7. Have you ever had to tell a lie to get out of a date or when you were breaking up with someone? What did you tell them and how did they take it? Did they ever find out the truth? No, because no one has asked me out on a date.

BONUS: Where are you Christmas? "Why can't I find you?" Did you know Mariah Carey wrote that song?
