I'm an Ingrid

(B) I have tended to be quiet and am used to being on my own. I usually don't draw much attention to myself socially, and it's generally unusual for me to assert myself all that forcefully. I don't feel comfortable taking the lead or being as competitive as others. Many would probably say that I'm something of a dreamer--a lot of my excitement goes on in my imagination. I can be quite content without feeling I have to be active all the time.
(Y) I am a person who has strong feelings about things--most people can tell when I'm unhappy about something. I can be guarded with people, but I'm more sensitive than I let on. I want to know where I stand with others and who and what I can count on--it's pretty clear to most people where they stand with me. When I'm upset about something, I want others to respond and to get as worked up as I am. I know the rules, but I don't want people telling me what to do. I want to decide for myself.

* Be a supportive friend or partner. Help me to learn to love and value myself.
* Respect me for my special gifts of intuition and vision.

Sandy FrankenDoodle's Laboratory

I was working late one night when my grandkids came along.

I got an idea when I saw their little smiles.

So, I preserved their bodies in the freezer in the lab,

But I pickled their heads and tried to save those smiles.

Then Josh came around and pulled his own head off,

He made an awful mess that I had to clean up,

But funny thing is, he could put it right back on

As if he never took his head off at all.

He won't tell me his secret or give me any hints,

But I'll figure it out if I have enough time.

So watch out folks when you come into my lab,

You just may find you'll be sitting in my jars.

This little ditty I wrote does not rhyme or make much sense. but, that's what happens when I write off the top of my head.....I just figured it out. WATCH OUT!!!!!! TTFN

Three movies I would like to be in:

Luana, You copied someones post, and now I am copying yours. But, let's see.........

1. While You Were Sleeping

I love that whole family, love their home, and love the way everything looked at their home

during Christmas. I would take Sandra Bullock's role.

2. Mama Mia

It was very pretty there. I love the music, and want to dance around with everyone. I would

like to feel all that joy they expressed and made their audiences feel too. But even more, I

want to be friends with those 3 women, especially Rosie. She's feisty!

3. A Christmas Carol

I want to go back through time as well as to the future, but I don't want the same experiences as

Scrooge. I just want to enjoy going back to the past. The angels can come and show me the

good parts of all my past so that I can reminisce. I will go back to the Christmas season when

Susan, Kris, and I shopped downtown on a dark, snowy evening. I might not be able to take

part, but I would enjoy seeing it, and seeing what we looked like etc. Then I could see the

present etc. It would be great fun. TTFN

America's Got Talent

I don't plan to watch this show next year. I don't intend on having the person I think has done the best job lose out. Eli Mattson lost by less than 1/2 of 1%. However, he did not lose out to either of the two I thought he might lose out to.

Queen Emily came in fifth place, Donald Braswell was fourth, Nuttin But Stringz was third. The winner was Neal Boyd who sings opera. I thought he was really good, but I honestly don't believe he is Las Vegas material. How many people go to Vegas to watch an Opera Star?

I really want to get hold of some Eli Mattson music. I loved listening to his voice as well as his incredible piano playing. Maybe he will be offered a record deal. Maybe he won't. Another guy I thought would get a deal, didn't. So, if Eli doesn't either, then I will have only what I recorded via my camera (pointing at the computer)...not so great.

I'm sorry, if I had big money, I would not pay to see Neal perform. I appreciate opera, but it just isn't my choice for entertainment. I would pay to see Nuttin But Stringz. but, I would pay even more to see Eli in person.

Luana, you quit watching American Idol after things happened you thought were messed up. It's the same for me. I won't, and I really mean it, watch America's Got Talent again. This year I actually voted. That is very unusual for me. But, I truly am in love with Eli's music. And, I don't plan to watch any other superior act lose out again. I feel sorry for that young man. He deserved to win. I hope he is offered a contract somewhere and soon. TTFN

I have added a photo of the one who should have won----ELI MATTSON
