Stealing first, if it happens......Ah, I see that it did....
Weird Question Meme
Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on WTIT: The Blog authored by Bud Weiser. Here we will steal all types of memes from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent memes. You may have heard of the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we also have our rules. First, we always credit the blog that we stole it from and we will “fess up” to the blog owner where we stole the meme. We also provide a link to the victim's post. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") We do sometimes edit the original meme, usually to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, sometimes to select that meme's best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from either this new meme or recently asked questions from a prior featured meme.
Let's go!!!
This week's questions come from Do These Shoes Match This Purse? Maggie doesn't say where she got it, but it was probably stolen there as well.
Do you wear slippers? Yes, I wear them most of the time in the house. Except summers, then I wear sandals. I would love to be able to find the Brazilian Mules I used to wear all the time. That would make me taller than a shrimp again. Darn! Why can't we import proper shoes, and from anywhere but Asia? Not all women have narrow, little feet!
How many pictures are in your living room? One of my paintings but we actually don't have a living room, per se. There are framed posters in the other rooms, humming birds and one of sunflowers, and some photos from my kid around the other rooms. There's a framed Mutts comic in this room. You can order reprints on nice paper on line. I love Mutts.
Do you ever watch Brady Bunch reruns? No, I never watched them the first time, either. sorry
Are you allergic to anything? Lots of environmentals and a couple of biggy pharmas.
When was the last time you called in sick? I never did that. I was lucky enough to be able to quit jobs if things got unbearable. My volunteer work was what I liked the very best.
Have you ever been in a car accident? Yes, a very bad truck flip on a back road in the Sierras when I was a kid.
What is your favorite snack food? potato chips
Have you ever seen a tornado? No, but they scare the living Bejeeebers out of me anyway.
If you won a million dollars, what would you buy first? Two houses in Santa Cruz for my kids. They would have to make payments but the big down would really help out.
What time is it right now? Right now as I'm typing. But, wait, you aren't talking about "Be Here Now" time, you are speaking clock face stuff. Nearly midnight the day before.
Do you think it's cool for men to wear flip-flops? Sure
How many pairs of shoes do you own? Maybe eight, probably less if you count all of them, that goes from hiking boots to strappy dress sandals. We just watched an episode of Black Books where they all go on vacation and the ONLY thing that Fran packs in her HUGE case is Shoes! Lol!
Do you think you are a hypochondriac? No, I have a real, quantifiable disease, two or three of them all auto-immunes that combine their super powers to defeat me but haven't quite managed the coup yet.
Do you own a dictionary? We have four or five dictionaries, two English and the others in different languages. Also, we have two in Klingon.
Where was the last place you went on vacation? Heaven. Actually Santa Cruz but it's very close to the divine place....
Do you talk about your friends behind their back? No, Jesus would know, and forbids it, and gossip is something you must give up to be a good Taoist or Buddhist, too. I really want to become a Real Human Being, but I have to "change my ways" to do it. I'm working on it.
Are you actually fat but in complete denial about it? No, I'm strong, and that is because I train with a Marine. Semper Fi! That link goes to an organization that helps Marines who are struggling.
What color is your mouse pad? I don't have one. I hate them. My desk is smooth and I keep it clean so the mouse stays happy.
Does your kitchen have a theme? American Hickory and sort of American Craft. I am a country girl. My sister is the Victorian.
-------------------------------
Now the pattern and a pici.
It comes from Simply Notable HERE, and is the corrected pattern for these. I am going to make mine from size 20 white crochet thread (or maybe it's 30? I just don't remember what I have), only it's the stuff I used as comfort knitting after J died four years ago. I still use that cloth for my face and love it.
Happy Birthday Dear Bee! We love you guys so much and hope your day is, and Elle's day was, very happy.
Since this was written on Saturday, to get a little ahead of the game, I have to go make some potato salad for later. It's going to be a MOB scene now, I'm told. I'm bringing knitting and earplugs.
Tah!

I use to be a shoe person then I broke my ankle an have pared down from about 50. I am into comfy.
ReplyDeleteSame favorite snack... ahhhh, now I'm craving!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it funny how simple questions help you learn more about someone. Now I know you just a little better! Where do you find your meme's from? I'll have to try and do this too~
ReplyDeleteMy mother just to crochet the tiniest stitches with threads and I did inherit a few crocheted potholders. Always to pretty to use for daily use. Usually they were hung up to see. I'll look forward to seeing yours! ♥♥♥
I love that you have Klingon dictionaries.
ReplyDeleteangel unawares, I like that
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't mind a Klingon dictionary!
ReplyDeleteOh gossip, so hard to resist and such fun to indulge. I don't do it often as it does tend to change how you feel about a person. Better to say something nice and be a little kinder. A bit of compassion can go a long way towards reconciling one to another's rough edges. Sometimes I do tell someone to their face that I'm praying for them, which they take to be the greatest insult because they know how long I lived in the South!
ReplyDelete@ BankerChick, Ouch, a broken ankle would do that to shoe collecting. Comfy is much better for a lot of reasons, neuromas, too. :(
ReplyDelete@ Kwizgiver, Ah another potato chip lover! ATM, I like the 40% less fat Lay's chips bc they are thicker so darn crispy! I like the other plain ones, too, but they are too thin for me.
@Cathy, most of my meme's come from searches. I just google them, and pick one I like. But I love that Sunday Stealing does one nearly every Sunday. I finish it up on Saturday and post at midnight. There is also one called SweetMemes.Blogspot.com that I love,too.
@CountryDew, it's such an interesting language, having been built specifically for a TV series. Qatlho! I know a few phrases and of course, all the cuss words. hehe
@jenniferanderson, I'm pretty sure we have Angels all around us, but we make so much noise in our lives and heads that we can't hear them. If I don't miss my guess, they are pretty disgusted with us as a species, but still love us for some ghuy reason. That's not a typo, that's klingon.
@Dawn Saros-Kirk, I bought the two we have on the internet. Where else!? Qapla! We were going to learn to speak it but events overcame the attempt. It's hard to find other speakers except on "The Big Bang Theory" cast. lol
@ellen kirkendall, I agree, compassion is the best way to approach most situations with most people, but there are limits to patience. LOL! Oh yes, and the "Bless you little heart" Southernese for "you are a nutter aren't you?"
I quote the Urban Dictionary here, that another blogger has:
"1. This is a term used by the people of the southern United States particularly near the Gulf of Mexico to express to someone that they are an idiot without saying such harsh words.
2. "You are an idiot but I like you and care about you so I dont want to hurt your feelings."
I always thought it was a term of endearment until I watched, "The Yaya Sisterhood"
