Thursday Thunks

Still trying to play catch up.....



Sept 2: At the Zoo

1. Would you rather have a pet hippo or a pet elephant?
um...neither? I did watch one of Samantha Brown's travel shows with  my husband in which she was in a country in Asia...I forget which one now, but she rode an elephant...it lifted her up to its back with it's trunk, and then laid down for her to get off.  It was actually pretty cool...but as a pet...no, I don't think so.

2. Why do you think bananas are shaped the way they are?
never given it much thought...it's just the way they are

3. In one word (OK, you can go three to four MAX) , what do most people describe you as?
that probably depends on the person....lol...hopefully, my friends would say compassionate, resourceful, strong, determined

4. Choice (stupid but a choice…): Loss of vision, ability to speak or hearing - which do you choose? (you have to choose one....) It's like a law. But we can't make you.
I would NEVER want to lose my vision or my hearing...not seeing or hearing my children's and husband faces and voices would be absolutely unbearable.   And while not being able to speak might pose some challenges....it would be the most adaptable I think.  I could still be fairly independent (drive, craft, BLOG, etc) and sign language is not only for the hearing impaired :-)

5. Do you like lemons? Do you use them to clean with or just as a food source? Or are you saving them up for 2012?
only in water and on fish

6. When you are feeling icky with that sickness feeling, what is your first choice for feel-better medicine?
depends on the cause of the sickness...but bring on the drugs, preferably prescription--not over the counter!

7. You are starving. You have not had anything to eat for days. In front of you is poison ivy, a live hissing cockroach, and a rotten stinky piece of some sort of mystery meat to eat. Which would you pick and why?
I think I would just continue starving...and looking.

8. Who was the last person you bought a present for? What was it? Will you buy Berleen one?
mmmm....probably my husband.  I bought a couple of watercolor prints from a local memphis artist, then mounted and framed them to give to him for our anniversary.
As for Berleen....quite unlikely..but only because I don't know ya.


9. Name 3 things you want your kids to learn before they grow up. (If you don't have kids, feel free to explain to the other players why you chose the “no kids“ choice. Yea. I know. (Those who have children will NEVER get it. And no, don‘t explain it…)
1--how to know and feel and invite the Spirit in their lives
2--to be respectful to and of others, and
3--how to be successful, responsible, contributing members of society

10. What was your favorite toy as a child? What happened to it?
I don't remember really having ONE favorite....I played with Barbies quite a bit and I had a rubik's cube and magic link puzzle I loved to attempt...don't really remember much else

11. If you could paint your house ANY color you wanted and your friends, family & neighbors would love the color from the moment they saw it, what would it be?
I wouldn't do it for them...but forest green

12. If the Pillsbury Dough Boy got into a fight with Mrs. Butterworth who would win? And would anybody get hurt? And do we seem desperate even asking?
um, yes, very desperate!

13. What was the last thing you would guess that Kimber took a picture of?
No idea...

August 26: Giving Away Money
1. To whom did you last give the finger?
it was so so so long ago...I couldn't begin to tell you

 
2. If you had 1,000 dollars and HAD to spend it, what would you buy?

3. What was the last beverage you spilled on yourself?

4. When was the last photograph you took? What was it of?
a couple hours ago....my husband's Portland Beavers ball cap....he asked me to take it so he could put it as his fb profile pic

5. Who was the last person to smoke a cigarette in your presence?
hmmm...probably my daughters boyfriend, though he doesn't very often...and he goes or stays outside to smoke--not allowed in our house


6. What animal did you last pet or hold?
one of the dogs...

7. What was the last superstitious thing you did?
probably knocked on wood...but I forget why
8. What was the last text message you received?
um...don't remember...my phone is off at the moment..so it's been a week or so since I received any texts...but it will be back on tomorrow.
9. Berleen has decided to buy twelve goats. If she trades three for some awesome pot, loses one while she was stoned, what do you think she did with the rest?
?????
10. What was the last musical instrument played in your presence?
piano...at church on Sunday
11. What was the last note that you wrote on your hand?

12. Kimber announced that she was born on another planet. Which one do you think it was and why?
not a clue

pink shirt that I get lots of compliments about and gray shorts
