1. Can you remember your first date? … No

2. Did you belong to a youth club or similar in your teens? … No

3. Can you roller skate? … I used to go skating every Fri. night with my friends, so yes I used to be able to skate. I would not want to try it now as I’d probably fall down.

4. What did you have for breakfast this morning? … So far I haven’t had breakfast. I have had graham crackers and peanut butter with my coffee. We get up so early it is several hours until we have breakfast each morning at 7 a. m. so I have to have a snack before. That said, I’m so tired of the same old breakfast items, I dread it every morning.  … Okay so now I’ve had breakfast and we had a fried egg, toast and little sausages. I managed to get through it.

1. Do you play a musical instrument? … I can play the violin. I played in school from 6th grade to 10th grade or so, and even had private lessons getting ready for competitions. I don’t have my violin anymore though. I gave it to my grand-daughter.

2. Is there an instrument you wish you could play? … I wish I could play the guitar. I’ve tried several times, and just can’t get the hang of it.

3. Can you read music? … I could read music for the violin just fine.

4. Do you have a favourite memory that involves music? … A favorite? I enjoyed  playing concerts while in school. I enjoyed going to rock and country concerts sometimes. I still enjoy listening to music every day, and watching music videos.

1. Can you speak a second language? … No, I just know a few words in a few other languages. I did take two years of French, but there are no French speakers here that I know of, so never hear it spoken. I know a few words of Spanish, German, and Japanese.

2. Can you remember any popular novelty gadget from the past that is not so widely available today? … Any of those ‘seen on TV’ commercial products would qualify for this. Mostly kitchen equipment of some sort. There were lots of ‘Ronco’ products too. There was a kitchen food chopper/slicer deal called the Veg o matic. It was plastic with metal inserts, and you could change them. You push down on the food and it goes through the blades to make the shape like slice, dice, chop, or whatever. I had one and it worked good.

Here’s a link to the article about it with photos! here

3. Can you juggle? … No. I think I tried a couple of times, and couldn’t get it.

4. What is your favourite snack food? … Too many! I like snacking better than having real meals. Peanut butter and graham crackers is a favorite, also apples. I like cheetos way too much, and Ritz crackers too. I’d eat sweets, but not supposed to any more. (I’m snacking on crunchy cheetos right now!)

1. The sun is shining as I type this, so my first question is:
After the cold weather of Winter, what is the first thing you like to do when the sun shines?

Hmm, stay in the house because it’s too bright, and probably turn on the air conditioner because usually when the sun is shining here it is hot weather. Like a few days last week was in the high 90s up to 101 F degrees.

 

2. Do you tan easily? … No, never did. I just got sunburned, so now I stay inside away from the hot sun.

 

3. Have you / would you use a nudist beach? … Never

 

4. Were you any good at building sand castles? … I didn’t see a beach before being an adult, so never did beach kind of things.

1. Do you wear glasses, and if so, can you remember your first pair? … Yes, I got my first pair of glasses when I was in the 4th grade elementary school. I was so surprised that things were  not just blobs of color when I could see them – trees had actual individual leaves, and my dog had fur made of strands, not just a blob of beige. The glasses were (now I think) ugly. White frame cat’s eyes shape

2. If you were a precious stone, what would best describe you? … My birthstone is Topaz (Nov.), and I like Tiger’s Eye .

3. At home, do you wear slippers, slipper socks or walk around in bare feet? … I wear slip on sandals (sole, and strap across the instep)

4. How many pillows do you sleep with at night? .. I used to have lots, but now I sleep in my recliner, and have one small squishy cylinder shape one, one Total Pillow (small round squishy with open center – can be flexible) . These are behind my head. I do have another small one I rest my arm on too.

1. What is the worst place you have ever lived in (house, town, caravan, other)?

There was this one house we rented that was horrible. We got out of it as soon as we could. From a an earlier post I did about houses:

We’d just came back from Japan, to Lawton OK.

But the first one we found was so awful! We’d had everything shipped to this horrible house, but we didn’t stay there but a very short time. We just had to find something better. I mean, this house was filthy, the carpets sticky and trashy, and it wasn’t cleaned before we moved in from the last people. There were even some kind of pills, on the floor, and with my two toddlers that was not good.I didn’t want to touch anything, much less let the girls in there. And the bedroom windows were falling out at the slightest touch.  And the mosquitos came by the droves and bit us all. I think I’ve blanked out the rest of it, it was so bad. Ugh!!

2. Would you like to live in a large property with a big garden or a small cottage in the middle of nowhere?

Neither one now. At one time the large place would have been great. But I don’t want a tiny place far from convenience either. Medium size close to everything we need is best.

3. Do you feel comfortable in a crowd/group of people?

No, and I have never liked crowds in places, including stores or restaurants.

4. Do you enjoy your own company?

Yes, I get along with myself best of all.

1. Do you forgive and forget, or forgive but remember.  … I will usually forgive, but some things you just don’t forget, even if you want to.

2. If someone has hurt you deeply, do you avoid them, cut them out of your life, or carry on as usual?  … As far as I know this has never happened that I know someone like that. But probably I’d avoid as much as possible and carry on.

3. If you could be a wild animal, what would that be?  … Tiger

4. What colour are your eyes?  … Green

Share Your World : 23rd February

***

1. Do you prefer your home painted in neutral colours with pictures or furnishings to add warmth and character?

Ours is just blah white walls, and we have no pictures. All I have is a collection of different crosses on the wall by my desk. What I’d like is to have every room a different theme color and decorations.

 

2. Do you prefer wooden/tiled floors or carpets and rugs? … We have artificial wood floors, which is much better than carpet or rugs for us.

 

3. Do you have an outside patio, balcony, or decking? … No, we barely have a one step concrete porch, very small. I always wanted a patio ghough.

 

4. Do you prefer a traditional bathroom with bath/shower or a wet room? … We only have the old fashioned set up with tub/shower, and I can’t even get over the edge anymore. I’d love to have one of the open wet rooms.

2. What is your favourite pizza topping?  … Pepperoni

3. What topping do you like on ice cream (sweet sauce, chocolate, sprinkles, fruit etc). … None, I like plain ice cream whatever flavor.
