I Took The Jeopardy Online Test


I love trivia and I love game shows and since I watch Jeopardy all the time, I decided to take the online test. I am pretty good at answering questions so I thought I would give it a shot. I did it just for fun because I knew the chance I would be able to audition would be slim to none. I just wanted to try.  I told my mom that it would be funny if I had questions about the order of presidents. When I was in 6th grade we sang The President Song that sings them in order. I used to always say that it will come in handy when I am on a game show. I had to wait until 11 pm to take the test after registering. I had a headache and was tired but I was determined to take the test. I had 15 seconds to answer each question.  So singing my song wouldn't have worked but there was a question about presidential order. Thankfully it was one of the easiest ones. The 22 and 24th president was Grover Cleveland which happens to be my favorite part of the song. So I got that one right. I also got The Bible question right and I didn't put a S on revelation. The Jeopardy online test was really hard. Partly because you only had 15 seconds and Alex Trebek didn't read you the question. You are asked fifty questions from fifty categories.  Some of them I had no clue and didn't even have time to answer. Some I just guessed. There was a question about who plays a guy in Les Miserables and I guessed for some reason Christian Bale. Of course that was incorrect, but Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale are the same right? They both played comic book characters. I know that I probably didn't pass and that is fine. They don't tell you your score. They take the people who pass and do a random drawing for the auditions. I am proud that I did it though. I would be more suited for Wheel of Fortune or Pyramid. I never did get to go on Supermarket Sweep as I dreamed of as a kid.

What game show would you want to go on? Have you ever been on one?

Don't forget to pick up something for the food pantry

Tonight I was watching The 700 Club. I love watching it. I have been watching it for four years now. I think Pat,Terry, Gordon and Kristy are awesome. My mom has seen the show many times because she went to Law School at Regent University which is the college that the show is filmed and where Pat Robertson is president and founder of. Tonight they had on Stephanie Nelson aka Coupon Mom who is an author of a really cool book called The Coupon Mom's Guide to Cutting Your Grocery Bills in Half: The Strategic Shopping Method Proven to Slash Food and Drugstore Costs that teaches people about using coupons and saving money. We all know how much I love coupons. Terry and Stephanie talked about how if everyone in the country donated a food item that they got with a coupon for free to a food pantry it would fill the food pantries up. Food pantries are really hurting right now with all the people out of work and without the means to feed their families.

You guys know how passionate I am about feeding the hungry. I challenge you all to get something extra and donate it. It doesn’t have to be caviar or escargot, just something nonperishable. Perhaps a few boxes of macaroni and cheese or something like that. If you have a coupon that would be great but just something to help someone else would make a world of difference. If we all do our part than it will move mountains and fill so many hungry mouths and stomachs. So, when you are at the store think of those who go without. It doesn’t take much effort to help.

You all should check out my friend Mommy Niri’s post about Joining her in the fight against child hunger. It is amazing. Mommy Niri is such a great person. I hope you all visit her blog and read about fighting child hunger with Con Agra and decide to participate.

Another really cool thing I heard about during Wheel of Fortune. When a contestant wins the bonus round, Maxwell House will donate $2,500 to a charity that feeds the hungry. I think that is awesome although I would like to see it donated each time someone goes to the bonus round personally. There are so many wonderful companies out there that love to help and I learn about them more each day.

There are so many people out there that need your help.
