Q & A 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 the expression, “honor amongst thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from. We also provide a link to the victim's meme in our "Previous Victims" widget. (It's our way of saying "Thanks!") Sometimes we edit the original meme, to make it more relevant to our global players, to challenge our players, to select the best questions, or simply to make it less repetitive from this new meme or recently asked questions from a previously featured meme.

Cheers to all of us thieves!!!

16. Have you ever looked back at your life and realized that something you thought was a bad thing was actually a blessing in disguise?
Swoon, a rant!  Time to bare a soul is it? 
Though it took years to figure it all out:  my Answer to this question has been, and will forever be that being in the right place and time when I was 20 years old was key to meeting my hubby.  This meant that a wonderful guy didn't get ground up in the Viet Nam war machine, and spat out to a life of homelessness and despair.   Of the few things I actually KNOW, this is one of them. 

He became a husband and father instead of being imbedded in that hell.  That could have and would have happened without me going through 19 years of hell myself.  I do not think the bad things that happened in this life of mine to be blessings.  Lessons they may well be, maybe, but not blessings- especially in disguise.

17. What is the most beautiful place you’ve ever visited?
Hands down, It is Yosemite Valley.  It is Unearthly Gorgeous up there!  I wish I'd been able to see Hetch Hetchy canyon before it was drowned, too.  John Muir said it was even more beautiful.

18. Are you more of a thinker or a feeler?
A. Euripides said that life was a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel.  I think and I feel.  And, I don't think much of what is going on these days, besides farce and satire, as actually funny.  Well, there are the cat and dog YouTubes but they are more like People's Theater.

19. Name three things you are thankful for right now.
A.I'm thankful that there is a smidgen of Democracy left in the western world, a hope still gleams for all oppressed people, thereby.  I am thankful for George Harrison's Life, and music, and I'm thankful, or Lord am I ever thankful, for color vision.  I "think about all the mud that never got the chance to sit up and look around"*, every day!

20. Have you ever participated in a three-legged race?
A. Sorry No.  I know I was a Senior Girl Scout and all, but no.

21. When you are at an event that plays the National Anthem, do you place your hand over your heart?
A.  I'm a Quaker and we don't do that.  But I do stand quietly and politely.  People probably started out thinking we were Nazis and then Separatists after that, but no, we don't do that.
