Yes, I do. Ask me anything and I will undoubtedly tell you something which may or may not be helpful, or even relevant. Like posting this random picture of an odd thing I have hanging in my kitchen.
Here are 15 questions of questionable origin (to me) and I am too lazy to figure out where they came from in the first place. But they are good questions, and these three awesome blogging people answered them and now I will be a copy cat and do it too. Thank you to –
What do you think you can do but can’t?
I think I can save everybody. I think I know how every person in trouble or distress should think and act and feel and what needs to happen to have everything turn out right. Too bad nobody will listen or cooperate. I’m not even very good at listening to myself, so why am I surprised.
What’s a difficult word for you to pronounce?
There is more than one.
deterioration (because of that middle syllable),
barbiturate (because of that middle “r”)
and remuneration (because there’s no numeration involved)
I also sometimes used to stumble over initial phone greetings at work (good afternoon, blah blah blah, how may I direct your call), but usually nobody listens to those either.
What are your favorite TV shows from your childhood?
We didn’t own a television set until I was nine years old. Half my childhood was already over. I remember watching Howdy Doody, I Love Lucy, Bonanza, Ed Sullivan, Father Knows Best, Dragnet, Gunsmoke, and Red Skelton. We also got only one channel. But look at that. They broadcast some high quality TV.
What are your virtues and vices?
Most of the time I am kind and generous and patient. However, I can also be an unforgiving snob. I’m a work in progress.
What’s more important: love, fame, power, or money?
If you are famous and powerful and rich but don’t have love, too bad for you. Love isn’t something you can demand or buy. And without it, where’s the happiness? Having never been famous, rich or powerful myself I’m making assumptions, of course. But, as usual, I still think I’m right.
If you could live in any era/time period, when would it be and why?
According to my psychic, I’m a very old soul and I’ve lived in all of them. This would explain why I’m so smart and know so much. Or maybe it was all that great TV I used to watch as a kid.
If you had to redo your entire wardrobe with 2 stores, what would they be and why?
I honestly have no idea. Where do they sell yoga pants and sweat shirts?
Can you recall what you were doing a year ago on this day?
No, but I looked in my blog archives and discovered that on February 21st, 2014, I was looking through an old journal and laughing at some of the strange things I had on my ‘grateful’ list. The last half of the book is blank. I don’t believe I suddenly stopped being grateful. Probably lost my pen.
Do you have recurring dreams? If so, explain?
There’s a house I dream about a lot, in which I am being pursued by something (or someone) bad. It has many staircases and hallways and doors and rooms. I’m afraid, but I’m also very confident that I know lots of good hiding places. Wow. A psychiatrist would have a heyday with that one.
What’s your horoscope?
I am Taurus. Generous, dependable, patient, pleasant and down to earth. Also stubborn, self-indulgent, materialistic and lazy. Well, nobody’s perfect.
What does your dream bedroom look like?
I don’t care as long as it’s warm and the bed is comfortable. A large percentage of the time I will have my eyes shut in there.
What position do you sleep in?
I have a queen sized bed and I sleep on my side on the edge with my feet hanging out. Hot feet are the worst.
What are your all time favorite films?
There’s only a handful of films that I’ve watched more than once. Probably for the same reason that I don’t want to go back and relive any of my past lifetimes. Been there, done that, on to the next adventure. W, on the other hand, can watch a movie a dozen times and never get tired of it. I watched Bridesmaids three times. I don’t know what that says about me, but I’m sure it’s probably something good.
What makeup are you currently wearing?
Foundation to even my skin tones (a nice way of saying cover up the blotches and age spots), eye shadow because I feel naked without it (although it’s hard to see it under those over the eye bags) and lip gloss because chapped lips are just marginally worse than hot feet. If I’m going somewhere I will add eyeliner and mascara. But it would have to be somewhere pretty damned important these days.
Do you have neat handwriting? Show us!
This is a large sample in case you want to submit it to an expert for analysis. To see if the results are in harmony with my Taurian traits. I think it’s rather sad that cursive writing is going the way of the dinosaur and Ed Sullivan.
Well, that’s enough enlightening crap for this February Saturday. Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend. If not, you can always answer these questions yourself to liven things up. But if you’re busy watching I Love Lucy re-runs, I understand.
this is such delicate, impressive, creative post to learn and explore!

I have eyeliner and mascara on and always lip gloss or vaseline. Funny how opposite – I only add eye shadow if going out, and forget the foundation. 🙂 The older I get the less makeup I wear. Loved reading your questions. Tell me when you find our store for yoga pants and sweatshirts only too! 🙂

I’m hoping to give up make up altogether soon. It’s just such an ingrained (expensive) habit. And doesn’t do what it used to. 😄
Yes, I’ll stay on the lookout for that store. lol

Your hair will let you know when it’s time to stop applying makeup:
When the hair at your temples is blackened daily with your wiggly eyeliner misses, and the hair above your brow receives its daily coating of over-extended eyeshadow, it will be time to retire your wands and go au naturel. I am hoping that, when that time comes for me, masks will be in fashion.

I would listen to you Grandmalin. I wouldn’t do what you advise, though, since I make poor choices, but at least I would listen. Unless you used multi-syllabic r-words. Then I would snigger and point.
(I bet you have difficulty with my two tough ones: iron, and, most particularly, The Beast: “mirror”. That stupid word! “Mirror, mirror, on the wall…” Boy, did I hate that part!)

Same on that hot thing and mere-errr on the reflecty thing.
You’re welcome. I want more. I want redemption, admiration, miraculous found love despite all the barriers I put up and my damaged baggage-laden self, and to huge effect positive change.
All with a mean average of 8 readers a day (over the past year). Do you think I’m asking too much?

No I don’t think that’s asking too much. Keep communicating. See what happens. If you write it, they will come. And if they don’t, screw them. Hmmm. I’ve had better advice days. lol

Used to think we were twins. Then…not. Now? Back to the twins thing…but I was born first perhaps a few years before you were. It happens.
1. We got our first television when I was nine.
2. Yep…Taurus, too.
3. Stupid stuff hangs on my walls…not just the kitchen.
4.Nightmare dream…the same long halls, doors, etc., but no chasing horse…but a voice that keeps calling my name. Scary.
5. Can’t get enough of Four Weddings and a Funeral or Nottinghill. Makes be laugh and cry all at once.
We might not be real twins…but close counts, right?

I’m happy with close! I knew we were secret sisters! That’s an incredible number of unexplained coincidences otherwise.
Books and movies that make you laugh and cry at the same time are the absolute best. Maybe we’ll run into each other some time in that shared nightmare dream. Okay, maybe not. lol
