Post 500... Hammer's new meme
Hammer's 500 meme
whenyouronlytoolisahammer.blogspot.com
1. What is the stupidest mistake you have ever made with money?
Buying a car from a car lot at 9pm on a Saturday night when mine suddenly blew up.
2. Do you think taxes are unfair or do you think it's your civic duty?
I'm beginning to think taxes are just fodder for more government intrusion and worthless agencies who want to control every aspect of our lives.
3. Do you take risks and possibly turn your life upside down for new opportunity?
I used to but now I'm much more cautious due to being screwed over by liars and crooks.
4. Are you the alpha in your household? (Include pets)
Yes. It's a lot of responsibility but someone has to take the lead for things to get done.
5. Do you compromise with your significant other or does someone always get their way? Compromise is good as long as the requests are reasonable and nobody gets shit on.
6. What curse word do you use most often?
Sombitch
7. Do you easily change your mind or are you dead set on most issues?
I'm dead set unless someone proposes a mind blowing argument to the contrary.
8. What famous person would you like to trade places with for one week?
George W. Bush
9. If you could go back in time and tell one person off, who would it be and what would you say?
My Eighth grade science teacher Mrs Hutto. I would tell her that I turned out to be sucessful despite her constant humiliation, harassment and derogatory comments made about me in front of my peers.
10. Were you a good student or did you do just enough to get by?
I had difficulty in school, due to attention deficit problems. Once I outgrew them I was usually on the honor roll with the excess effort I was accustomed to using to pay attention.
11. If you could give one piece of advice to someone just starting out on their own, what would you tell them?
Don't rent.
12. Are people basically good and honest or are most people opportunistic and predatory?
Most people when given the opprotunity will not make an honorable choice when they stand to gain money.
13. Is there somebody you wish you could go back and apologize to?
I've already apologized to just about everyone who deserved it.
I tag, ieatsnowmanpoop, Groovy lady, Ryan, Tweety29 Mrs josegoldbloom and Jenny
If you like this meme and want to do it, let me know so I can read it.
I put my blog address on this one because last time I wrote a meme, it went far and wide and nobody knew where it came from.

who invented the word: "meme"?
infini: The term "meme" (IPA: /miːm/, rhyming with "theme"; commonly pronounced in the US as /mɛm/, rhyming with "gem"), coined/popularized in 1976[1] by the biologist Richard Dawkins, refers to a "unit of cultural information" which can propagate from one mind to another in a manner analogous to genes (i.e., the units of genetic information).
Thanks for tagging me. I liked this one.
Congrats on 500. As my Dad would have said, you've really been pickin' 'em up and puttin' 'em down.
Great Meme Hammer, and I enjoyed reading your responses. I've got mine done and posted with a link to your site.
Thanks for the tag.
500! Congrats!
As long as you're adding your URL, you may want to put the missing letter back into "hammer." Last I checked, your tool's not a hmmer. In any case, nice meme and congrats on 500.
snowmanpoop: thanks :)
Jam: I ike that :)
mrsjosegoldbloom: Thanks glad you liked it :)
mushy, I appreciate it :)
drew: DOH! Thanks, good catch.
interesting, as always - going to poke around all your tags - I'll wait and see if tweety tags me before I get all snotty at you for not picking me too ;)
Ok - I almost forgive you - I enjoyed all the other blogs even though they haven't all done the meme yet. I have them on feed now so they better produce.
Congratulations on 500 posts. I'm not even there yet after over 2 whole years of blogging! :)
And GOOD for you for wanting to tell off that crappy teacher of yours that didn't think the world of you. I want to tell her off too!
nice answers. i enjoy reading your posts.
Cool. Yer a prolific sumbitch.
Hammer My Man,
Nailed it as usual- now a faithful reader,
John
Congrats Hammer......
That is a landmark.

Congrats on the 500! I hope I last as long as you have.

Your 500th post???? You must spend more time online than my dad. I guess you don't have any cats, huh?
MEOOOOOWWW!!!
I would prefer almost anyone to take GW's place for a week...Well, not Dick Cheney. Congrats Hammer, Cheers!!
I will do mine here in a few minutes. I am not going back to bed this morning like I usually do. Thanks for the tag. I was wondering what to do next.
Meme posted!
posted when you get a minute.
I did it too, and posted same with proper acknowledgments.
Happy 500th!
Happy 500th!! :D
George Bush isn't famous, just a well known idiot.
"What famous person would you like to trade places with for one week?"
Albert Einstein
Good advice not to rent, all I have these days is a little property taxes to pay. And no landlord to tell me what I can and can't do, or raise my rent, or move me out.
Step it up boy.
I've done 506 posts counting both blogs. LOL
500 is a ton of posts...I was shitting my pants when I hit 100! I noticed at the bottom that I was tagged...what does that mean??? I am particularly interested in hearing the story of buying a car after your blew up!!! Have you posted about that already?
yeah... I THOUGHT I had heard it (meme) before in psych class somewhere, THANKS!
Congrats on your 500th! You should be very proud because there is not a dud in the bunch.. all of them are great. :)
Thanks for tagging me! I'm thinking, I'm thinking, lol. I'll let you know when I get it posted.
post 500? nice work!
Sounds like you owe Mrs. Hutto a letter. Damn.
I like your favorite curse word, btw.
Happy 500th!
Jeannie tagged me and I complied...
'Grats onthe 5ooth. Here's mine..
http://ralphd00d.blogspot.com/2007/05/taking-care-of-business.html
Well, Jeannie tagged me.
congrats on your 500th.
See my answers if you wish.
Again, congrats on your 500 mark.
Lordy be, Ham-head, let's you and me have an argument sometime. I love the thrill of a challenge!
lulu: Damn straight unless you count violins ;)
matt-man lol thanks :)
tweety: good one :)
dazed: great job :)
larry: I liked it!
m: thank you much :)
jenny: thanks for doing the meme. The car didn't really blow up it just sort of stopped for no good reason.
infini: no prob :)
groovy: that's very nice of you to say, can't wait to read yours :)
bbc: I guess Bush is infamous huh?
minijohnb: thanks :) I liked your answers.
jocelyn: Ahh mrs hutto is too much of a bitch to ever realize the folly of her ways.
carrie: thank you :)
jp: yeah I know you're not a meme person so I let jeannie do the dirtywork :)
ralphdood: Thanks, good job on yours :)
marianne: I just looked at yours and liked it very much. Finally found your blog btw :)
melodyann: hehe not sure If I'm much of the arguing type :)
Well Hammer that was one of the hammers, did you check out the other 2?
Did the MeMe. (Hard questions)
Hammer just read you for the first time and love your blog.
Did the meme (could it be related to the French word for 'same'?) over at my place.
Really cool blog, man.
Congrats on your milestone!
Sweeti: Great job on the meme, I'm working on the other two they are tougher :)
bridget jones: thanks for visiting and thanks for the kind words. Not sure, but It would make sense meme and same if that's what dawkins was going for.
Well Hammer - I have noticed your meme has run far and wide very quickly. And I have to commend you on your questions. I have learned so much about people I visit often and a few people I never read before. I notice a few I know have also found you. That's so cool! This will probably come back to you in 6 months or so...probably with someone else's name on it.
jeannie: I'm surprised, sometimes these things go off like a fart in a phone booth. I'm grateful to all of you guys who spread it around.
I learned a lot too.
Agghh! Sorry it took me so long to get the meme answers posted. For some reason my children think they need to eat, go to the dentist.. get picked up from school and crap like that.. geez!
Anyway, they are finally up and I must say, it was a really good one. Great questions, however I fear I didn't do them justice by providing great answers.
Thanks again for tagging me! :)
taxes.....
just wait until the government finally sells the environmental tax on us.
we won`t have enough to by bread.
al gore is an asshole.
keep posting.
Good lord - 500! I have only done 137!! I think I stole your last meme Mr H.
500 posts,,,,,phew that brings me out in a sweat, good work hammer
ciao4now xx
i'm stealin this !
I am going to do this next week, does that count as notification? I will credit you.
groovy: great job as always :)
dr alistair: I recently read that taxes equate to 9/10 of the cost of a loaf of bread when you factor all the taxes on all of the items that go into its production.
mutley: Can't wait to see it :)
het: thank you :)
cynnie: Be my guest, I'll come check it out :)
logophile: thanks for visiting :) I'll be sure and check out your posts. I put my link on this one because my last meme took off without me and I didn't get to read but 10% of the people who completed it because they went and named it something else lol.
Hammer, I'm a bad dobee. I keep meaning to do memes, even when I've not been tagged, especially yours. But I can't think of anything better than what you and your tagged peeps do.
Love your stuff.
Wtg on #500 hammer. I am fairly new to the world of blogging but yours is always one of the 1st ones I read. You have a great sense of humour. Liked the meme. I am going to do it this weekend on my blog. Anything that keeps my wheels turning is a good thing at my advanced age..lmaooooooo. HAGD!!
It's a great Meme, I was invited to do it by Jeannie, (via Tweetey).
So what went wrong with the car you bought on a Saturday night at 9PM? You wouldn't refer to it as a mistake if nothing went wrong vry soon after you bought.
I just finished mine, pfff it was so long that I had to do it in three sessions.
What is the meaning of 500?
Is it your 500th tag? you invent them or they come to you through the blog world?
kim: thanks :) by the way can you send me an email with your blog link?
canadian flake: thank so much! Can't wait to see your answers.
la cremiere: It was dark, I paid too much, bought the warranty which was a scam. Soon after 8 things broke at once so I had to trade it in at a big loss. I'm still paying for that vehicle 3 cars later becuase the loss is built into my current car payment.
kitem:
I wrote the meme in celebration of my 500th post. I just read yours and liked it very much.
Man Hammer if your biggest regret is buying a car on a Saturday night, then I think your doing much better than the average person.
I don't know if you are gray or not, but a week as George Bush would insure that either gray hair or lost hair.
I think it's great you have someone left to cuss (Mrs.Hutto) but apologies have already been made. Knowing when to speak up & when to shut up is important & I'm sure you'll pass this on to your kids :)
500 posts! Wow! I have missed out on all too much!
skinnyblonde: I was just doing it to get to laura..she has great cans ;D
