Fasten Your Seatbelts. It's Going To Be a Bumpy Night (Saturday's Favorite Movie Moment)

This scene is from All About Eve, starring the great Bette Davis, with Thelma Ritter as Birdie, Margo's housekeeper, and Celeste Holm, as Karen Richards, Margo's best friend.

Happy Saturday! Welcome to Saturday's Favorite Movie Moment.

This Saturday is the first Saturday's Favorite Movie Moment, I've published in close to a year, and I can believe it. All day today, I've been trying to figure out why the links in my post highlight to Bloggers regular blue color, but then when I publish the post, the color disappears.

In addition, I cannot find out where to change the fonts period- I am lost-

Although, "I can't think about that right now. If I do I'll go crazy. I'll think about that tomorrow." Can you guess what movie made that quote famous?

Anyway, if I do not figure out how to change the font colors on my blog soon, "I'll go crazy." Hence, I've asked myself the same question I asked myself all year.

"Is it over, or is it just beginning?" (All About Eve) Did Blogger change their font design that much, or is the question so easy, there isn't an answer? Who knows?

But I had to "fasten my seatbelt," 'cause I had "a bumpy night."

I'm sorry I'm behind on my blog visits, but I'm sure I'll bump into ya sometime today.

Until then, have a happy happy Saturday! And be aware of "bumpy nights."

We Have Two Tuesday's Questions Today!

READ BLOGGERS ANSWERS AT THE END OF THE POST

Hello! Welcome to Tuesday's Question. We have two questions for you today. The first one is...

What was your worst fashion disaster? Ex: Once I went to work with two different types of earrings on, and yesterday when I was in the grocery store, I heard a lady laughing, and when I asked her why she was laughing, she said; "Because when I left home, I didn't realize I was wearing house slippers!"

And...

Who Was Your Worst Boss? ...

The reason I have two questions today, is because I already planned on posting the, 'Who Was Your Worst Boss question, but since I've been offline for awhile, I started reading old buddies blogs yesterday when I came across an hilarious post from my friend Sandee, the owner and administrator of Comedy Plus

You see, the post I read was in response to a question similar to this one, hence, I wanted to share the link to the post with you, however the strangest thing happened. I was going to ask you to click on the permalink to the post I read, but I cannot find it. I found it earlier, but when I finally had the chance to link it, the post disappeared. Can you believe that?

I had it earlier, but with all the problems I've had with this post today, I cannot say that I blame the post for running away, and it has disappeared. In addition the links I have for Comedy Plus and 'My First Job' will not light up, which is another mystery. Therefore, just click on the name Comedy Plus, and it will take you to Comedy Plus. It lights up while you're composing the post, but not after its published.

Now, as far as an example of your nastiest boss, you probably do not need one, but in case you do, just click the title of my post about, My First Job, which in addition to not lighting up, has the wrong title on the permalink, but, in any event, it will take you to the post, and you'll get the picture about horrific bosses.

Feel free to answer one or both questions, whichever suits your fancy.

In closing, in case you're not familiar with Tuesday's Question, or you haven't participated, (although I know it's pretty self-explanatory) there's one thing, well, a few, you should know.

I will copy your answer, and paste it within this post, (that is, if you're not afraid it will also runaway) then link the post back to your blog. Therefore, by the end of the day, you can read your answers in the post, have a link to your blog, and enjoy the answers from other bloggers.

The point is to learn about each other, laugh, and have a great time. Thanks for commenting, and have a fabulous day! And if you have fun, please return next week to answer another Tuesday's Question.

At the bottom of this post is a drawing of a blogger, and a link to Tuesday's Question's address, just in case you get lost, or want to tell others about how much fun you had answering Tuesday's Question.

Feel free to place him on your blog, address book, refrigerator, card windshield, anywhere....:) That way everyone knows that you answered Tuesday's Question, and where they can find your answer. :)
I'm looking forward to your answers~

Note to readers,

Thank you for putting up with the mistakes and technical problems I've spent the day ironing out. It's amazing how much you can forget in such a short period of time. Blogging is sure a far cry from writing a query letter, manuscript, or submitting an article to a magazine. It's as if I'm learning all over again.

And to my most loyal fellow bloggers and friends who have already answered a question, I'm finally going to have a chance to read and post them. I cannot wait!

The first blogger to answer Tuesday's Question was Grace from ">Today's Conversation
Black and White Upon the Page

and Dragon's Alley

Grace answered the question about dreadful bosses, and I thought I would never stop laughing; and I'm not just saying that. Here's Graces answer:

Can't say as I've had any fashion disasters - perhaps clothes that didn't fit me as well as they should (too big) but not enough so anyone noticed.

Horrible bosses? Whoa, a few of those. the guy who barely spoke English and seemed rather pleased that he was a totally disorganized slob. I do mean slob. He would sit at his desk and eat fruit all day and throw the detritus on the floor - like inches away from the waste basket. Ewww!

Or the woman who was an "outer directed" person - meaning nothing was ever her fault even when she was the only one involved. Like the time she pulled her car into the company parking lot, got out without turning the car off or setting the emergency break - it wasn't her fault when it rolled backwards and smashed into another car. Now take THAT attitude and apply it to running a business.

I've got a few more but so you really want to know?

Sandee from Comedy Plus also answered the question about the nastiest bosses:

I can't think of any fashion disasters unless you want to talk about the clothing of the 80s and I don't, so I'll answer the last question since the list is pretty long.

I had a lieutenant once that would do my job for me. I would plan out the day and assigns deputies to certain details and if they didn't want to do that detail they would go to the lieutenant and he would change everything around to make all the deputies happy. It wasn't making me too happy though. I asked him not to do that but he just kept right on changing things. So, I took of my sergeants strips and gave them to him as it seems unfair for me to get paid as a sergeant when he was doing all the work. That fixed the problem once and for all. He just was a miserable lieutenant and I was so glad when he finally got transferred.

Have a terrific day and thanks for the shout-out. Hugs. :)

Thanks to both of you for such great answers! Keep them coming...

Pam from Finding Pam answered the question about her worst boss: Read this, it's hilarious, and don't forget to follow this link to Finding Pam, you'll enjoy the read.

Here's Pam's answer:

Annie, it is great to see a post from you. I know what you mean about having to learn your computer all over again.

My worst boss ever was a crazy red headed lady that owned a flower shop. It was my first time to work in flowers in a professional way. I was hired to deliver flowers.

This boss had some real mental problems. She loved to go to the grocery store in her big hairy bear claw slippers with her fur coat. She wore little or next to nothing underneath. She could smooze with the rich folks and cuss like a sailor at the same time. Very to the point and not discreet, if you know what I mean.

She was a total wack job. One minute crazy and the next minute she was super duper crazy. She and her hubs fought all the time. Once she left with her bear claw slippers and fur coat and headed North. It was a year before we ever saw her again. She pretended that she did all the designs to her customers. I guess her employees were her wait staff. LOL!

Take care and I look forward to reading more post.
