Sunday Stealing

 

Let me Give Your Heart a Break

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 Cinematic Symphony.


Let Me Give Your Heart A Break Meme
Do you prefer a lot of ice in your drinks or just a little bit of ice? 
If it's already cold just a little, otherwise I load up the glass.
Which condiment (ketchup, mustard, etc.) do you use the most of? 
Mustard, I don't even like ketchup
This looks like good stuff

Does war scare you? 
Absolutely.  This is why: War is the poorest solution to any problem but it seems to be the one chosen first much too often.   The really clever countries put economic squeezes on other countries (economic warfare) until that country attacks them.  Then, of course, it's self defense.  So clever and useful!  Sadly, so good for business.
Do you know any songs that are older than you are? 
Lots of them, and I'm an old lady.  I like ballads from Ireland and from Scotland.
Are you comfortable sharing drinks with your friends?
I will take a sip of someone else's drink from time to time. 
  What season were you born in? 

 I was born in Winter
in a place that is really cold, and during a snow storm. 
I was born in my Grandparents' farmhouse.

 Have you ever spent over $100.00 on an article of clothing? What was it? 
Yes, I bought a down jacket ages ago.  But not until I was an adult living in a nice warm place that I thought was too cold.
Do you think you’re too hard on yourself sometimes? 
I don't think I know what that means?  Self critical?  That's a good thing, right?  It keeps your feet on the ground.  But, in truth, not if  this hardness makes you want to off yourself.  That is VERY bad, indeed.
What pizza place do you usually order from? 
Sadly, I can't eat pizza anymore.
Honestly, have you ever mooned or flashed somebody? 
No, I've never done that but that doesn't mean that there weren't times when I wanted to moon someone who so richly deserved it!  .. ahem...
Do you have a least favorite color? 
A color that makes me run away screaming?  Let's see, that would be the color blood gets when it dries... the real stuff.
Honestly, have you ever written something on a bathroom stall? 
No, I'm a little too law abiding to do that but that is not to say that I haven't read some of the graffiti in that place with amazement and a chuckle.
Who do you consider to be the king of pop? 
You mean like Pepsi?  Or do you mean something like music?   That would have to be Neal Diamond.
Do you know all of the words to any children's song?  
Yes. I know all manner of songs.
Can you name 3 purple foods? 
Grapes, eggplants, figs, some of them anyway.
When was the last time you made a pinky promise? 
With my great friend and nearest buddy, D.  This happened in 1978, or so, when she was moving away. 
What celebrity do you wish would have a big comeback? 
Haven't they all done that already? 
Do you think your parents know things about you that you don’t want them to? 
My dead mother may know more about me than I would want her to.  I hope that I've "done her proud", so to speak.  The paternal unit can just go back to hell where he belongs!
Have you ever walked into a spider web? 
Gobs of them.  I'm a camper and hiker, or was.  Now I tramp around the trails a little bit.
What grocery store do you usually get your food from? 
I don't have to do the grocery shopping anymore so I just don't know.  It's probably done mostly at Trader Joe's and Sprouts. 
What would be your happily ever after? 
 Is that like in "Princess Bride"?  Or is it after death?   I would like to be rich enough to adopt fifteen dogs and train them to do circus acts;  we'd go on the road with them. 
When was the last time you spoke in front of a large group of people? 
In the 90's.  I was the president of a big club.
Who is the worst driver you know? 
One of the Rockhounds who used to drive with a foot on the brake and one on the accelerator while waving her arms and talking.  Terrible driver.  I don't think she's on the road anymore.
How about the best driver? 
My daughter, who is a very careful, attentive driver, and who can also drive a double axle truck because she used to do that while making deliveries for a fabric company.
Are you shorter or taller than most of your friends? 
Shorter
Do you know anybody who was born on a holiday? 
My sweet SIL, who was born on Armistice Day
What is one thing you really don’t like sharing? 
I won't share my toothbrush with anyone!


Have you ever been hit on through text message? 
No, I'm just not communicating with people who would do that. lol
What was the last junk food you ate? 
Probably that would be french fries with our fish and chips.  Fish is good, fries are good, but fries are the epitome of "junk food"; is it not true?
Do you prefer sweet or sour candy? 
Sweet chocolate only, please.
What was the last alcoholic beverage you consumed? 
A couple of beers a few weeks ago.
Heehee

Currently waiting on something/someone? 
You mean in the mail?  No, because I just got some seeds from my daughter.  She sent me some Plantain seeds. 
What was the last thing you watched on television? 
If Netflix counts the last thing I watched was a Ted Talks.
How old will you be in 12 months? 
You can ask me that in 12 months
Do you sleep naked? 
Absolutely negatory!  The EMTs might not care but I sure the HECK do!  If I wasn't already dead, I would die of embarrassment.
Have you ever held hands with someone in a car? 
Yes, with my DH.  We still sometimes hold hands in the car.
Could you go the rest of your life without smoking a cigarette? 
Easily.  I don't smoke
What do you say during awkward silences?

I usually start to giggle.  I'm not so old that I can't enjoy an awkward silence in it's entirety.
When will you next see the last person you texted? 
 Friday.
Honestly, when is the last time you have been to Texas?
When I was thirteen.  I practiced my driving while going through Texas, both ways.  There is Nothing but "straight as an arrow" roads for a thousand miles in Northern Texas so it's a good place for underage drivers to practice holding their own against the big trucks.

  1. I've been watching a lot of Netflix these days. Funny to think cable is being replaced after cable replaced network tv.

    1. Tied to edit and missed some stuff:

      Isn't Netflix the cat's PJs?!! I really love it! It seems to me that Netflix got a leg up on cable when the cable providers got into a fight. They spent a lot of money in turf wars, and lost out because they, the cable companies, thought they could finance all that warfare on the backs of rate payers - thereby passing on the cost. That's when Netflix slipped in under their radar and the CCs cost (price) point. You gotta love turf wars!

      That is funny, isn't it? I wonder what comes next? Really, I just hope we don't end up with another "dark age". With humans, it seems like anything can (and usually does)happen.

  4. Plantain seeds? I never thought about growing those. I am wondering now how long it takes them to bear fruit.

    1. This kind of Plantain is a little weed used for poultice making. It's really a healing herb. My DD has studied herbal infusions and all sorts of herbal preparations.

      Plantain Bananas are so delicious. I think that must be what you mean. I used to buy them and fry them for dinner like potatoes. If I could grow plantain bananas I would have me a little forest of them, and a mango and,well, and an avocado tree, too. Yum!
