    When is the last time you pulled an all-nighter and what did you do?

    Have you ever stayed up all night – for something fun or something not so fun? Was it when you were a kid – or more recently? Pam and Ellen share their takes on what an all-nighter was all about – share yours, too! I think the last time I pulled an all-nighter was not to do something fun, although I pulled a lot of those in my younger days. It must have been the night LN was in her car accident.

    Do you remember having a favorite song or nursery rhyme as a child?

    We played and sang all the time as kids, why don’t you click our names below to see what our favorite was?And as always, go ahead and tell us yours in the comments below. While not exactly a nursery rhyme, I can remember hours being spent singing and dancing to the song “Oom-Pah-Pah” from the movie Oliver. Looking back at the song today, I realize that it had a lot to do with drinking and other not-G-rated topics but the chorus was what we paid attention to as kids.  It was catchy and fun to sing.   Watching the movie, I can remember seeing the people dancing around the bar with…
