What do you think for that whole blown perfect game thing?

This was asked on Friday late, but I’ve had many thoughts about it. I thought it was a bad call and unfortunate that Mr. Galarraga did not get the perfect game he earned. I do think that someday it may get overturned, but not now. I think that Jim Joyce and Armando Galarraga have handled the whole thing beautifully and the story has had a happy ending with Galarraga presenting the line-up card to Joyce on Thursday and GM presenting him with a Corvette,so this sad situation has had a happy ending.

I don’t think I would unless it was absolutely necessary. I hate having surgery as it is with the hernia I had last year. But if I had to have it because it was necessary for me to go on with life,then I would.

What is the one thing you always wanted for Christmas but never got?

That’s hard to say because I get a lot of great presents for Christmas. The last few years I’ve hardly wanted anything because it’s starting to become Giftmas and less about the time to celebrate the loved ones and friends you have in your life and what you have already in your life. All things considered, we have it pretty good here.

Barring bad drivers, what are three of your biggest pet peeves?

The great Ashley Freitas just brought this one up, and it’s Parents Putting Kids on Leashes, I think it’s wrong,I think it’s considered as treating a child like an animal and that’s just awful.
Another one would be People Who Talk on the Phone at the Checkstand. I’ve been in this industry for four years and there’s nothing I hate that customers do more than this. I do know the way to get them off the phone and that’s to talk to the courtesy clerk and once they see you’ve ignored them as they’ve done to you, they’ll get off the phone.
And I think one more would be when people wear pajamas to school. It says to me that that person is lazy and not worth my time.

Hypothetically speaking, your child wants to name your grandkid an AWFUL name. How do you respond?

If you could do one thing today to make the world a better place, what would it be?

If I had the power to do this,I’d make sure that everybody who needed help medically thhat they got it. Everybody should be able to see a doctor,sick or well,rich or poor. I think that’s the thing that has been lost during the whole health care debate. I think that’s the point that hasn’t gotten across to anyone, on both sides. Even I’ve been skittish about doing so because I’m scared of how much is going to cost me. I’d get all the medical help I wanted if I could afford it,and so would many other people. I think that’s one thing I would love to do to help this great world of ours.

Are you a spelling and grammar Nazi? Do you hate it when people type in text speak or just spell bad?

It’s both. I don’t like when people spell words poorly that shouldn’t be. I also hate when people talk in text speak. I don’t do that,I write almost everything out,I’m a journalism major,it’s a hard habit to break.

Not lately,but I have read many good books. Tedy Bruschi’s book about his stroke and his recovery was a great read and very inspirational to me.

Television show-wise….what is your guilty pleasure?

I’m usually pretty open about what I watch. I would probably say whenever they have Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew. I like Dr. Drew,if I was having a drug problem,I’d secure his help ASAP. However,it does get hard to watch whenever the celebrity has a seizure because of how hard it hits close to home.
