1. What can happen in a second?  
The musical Hello Dolly has a song called “It Only Takes a Moment,” and according to this song it only takes a moment to fall in love.  I’m not sure if that is correct, but it is a lovely sentiment.  I think a lot of times people kind of take an opposite direction, it only takes a moment to write someone off.  A person will take one look at someone and decide that they aren’t gorgeous enough. They don’t take the opportunity to talk to the person, find out what makes them tick and see if there is a quality individual hidden underneath the plain Jane/ Plain Joe standing in front of them. This could be really depressing but perhaps it is what protects us from people who are like that.  Honestly, who would want to be with someone who only judged a book by its cover?

2. The Worst Thanksgiving dish you ever had.
This. Is. Not. Possible!

 3. A houseplant is dying.  Tell it why it needs to live.
Listen, I know that it seems like there is no hope.  You live in pot.  A cheap, plastic pot.  This is the same pot you were sitting in when I bought you at Menard’s.  I’m not going to lie, I bought you because I thought people would be impressed that I had a plant.  They would see that I was capable of keeping something alive, that I was trying to introduce some oxygen into the world.  But, now you are dying and people are going to see me for what I really am…. a killer.  So, what is it going to take to keep you alive?  Would it help if I bought you a new pot?  I would make sure it was cute and had a squirrel on it or something.  But, don’t do it for me.  Honestly, people who see you in my presence probably know my track record with plants and will know that the fact that you are alive is more a testament to your will and determination and have nothing to do with me.  Stand up for yourself.  Show that you can’t be stifled by a mere human.
