Sunday Stealing... For Grown-Ups.

A quiz for Grown-Ups

Welcome back to Sunday Stealing which originated on the WTIT Blog with Bud Weiser.

Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. You may have heard the expression, “honor among thieves”. In that age-old tradition, we try to credit the blog that we stole it from, if possible. We also provide a link to the victim's questions 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 recently asked questions from a previously post. 

Cheers to all of us thieves!

And a BIG THANK you to Bev, who bravely took over this MEME!

1. What bill do you hate paying the most?
Medical bills, dental bills.  I think, "Well, there goes the house paint, or the stucco re-do, or the baseboards" It's just.... never ending...

2. What do you really want to be doing right now?
I'd like to be knitting and watching a chick flick

3. Why did you choose the shirt you have on now?
Because it's a sweater and it's warm.

4. Thoughts on gas prices?
Gas in California is always high.  I blame it on a pricing system we call the "Wimsey of the Oil companies", since it hits during summer when everyone and their dog is traveling to or around California on Vacation.  Locally it's called, The WOC additive.   And then there are some State of California environmental taxes added here.  I hate the first kind and gladly pay the second.  

5. First thought when the alarm goes off in the morning
We aren't subject to an alarm, other than Wolfie, that is, who starts in about 4 am to want to be fed.  I don't have to feed him but Mr.Z does, so he gets up and stays up.  But, having said that, my first thought is, "What time is it?"

6. Last thought you have before you go to sleep?
"Think of Nothing...."

7. Do you miss being a child?
No, I will never miss mine.  Besides it's really true about second childhoods being happier, and I'm not suggesting that dreadful, horrible disease that so many people are dealing with, but just the happy living in the moment that little children under the age of 6 get to do.  

8. What errand/chore do you despise the most?
Vacuuming and dusting.  I just can not keep up with that anymore!  I need to clear everything away and get a rumba.

I should have asked for one of these for Christmas and my birthday!

9. Up early or sleep in?
As much as I'd like to be up early, I can't seem to get to sleep earlier now.  So I sleep in to around 7 or 8.  But it's getting better.  

10. Favorite lunch meat?
I don't eat it.  I never, EVER, touch the stuff.

11. What do you get every time at Trader Joe’s?
Organic Fruits and vegetables.  AND....BIG bars of Dark Chocolate.  hmmmmm!  

12. Beach or lake?
Beach,  no contest!  

SOURCE PAGE
I like # 8 at this page.

13. Ever crashed your vehicle?
 I have had fender benders here and there but never totaled.

FROM HERE and interesting read

14. Strangest place you've brushed your teeth?
Camping out, and having to spit outside the tent and worry about bears. lol

From HERE, a very good page

15. Somewhere you've never been but want to go?
I'd have liked to have seen Europe.  If I was young, I would take off and see it especially now that Eastern European and all the Balkan countries are free.  I mourned for them for so long, and I'd just love to see them, and meet the people.

16. At this point in your life would you want to start a new career?
Nope.  I'll leave that to the young people.  

17. Do you own your own house?
Yes, we do.

18. Do you have a go-to person?
For advice?  Yes.   

19. Are you where you want to be in life?
I took an aptitude test in high school.  In it several questions were asked about what I wanted out of life.  Well, I wanted a family, and (at that time) to be an artist, and to be comfortable regarding material gains, not filthy rich, but comfortable.  Yes, I am where I want to be, well almost....  I'd like to be able to quilt or knit with my daughters, and have tea and bake cookies with them, and then life could be perfect.

20. Growing up, what were your favorite cartoons?
 I liked Foghorn Leghorn, and also, Rocky and Bullwinkle .  That dastardly villain, Boris Badenov, was so much fun...

21. What has changed since you were a child?
There is nothing, not a single thing that is the same as when I was a child (even cooking) except that this country is at War.  Sadly, that hasn't changed at all.  

So, in 75 years, this country has had less than a handful of years where we were not at war with someone or other.  Statistically, War has to be declared.  In my play book, war is when you are sending armies out to kill other people and take over their land, and some of your soldiers are dying there.   Some wasn't all the fault of our leaders, but loads of it is...

22. Looking back at high school, were they the best years of your life?
Please excuse me while I have a laughing fit?

It's not all fun and games...

23. Are there times you still feel like a kid?
I feel better than I EVER did as a kid.  So, no.. 

24. Did you have a pager?
Yes, I got a pager when my rockhound friends saw how distraught I was to not know why Mr. Z was so late, and they suggested he get me one.  There was a huge jam up on the freeway...

25. Were you the type of kid you want your kids to hang out with?
I was a studious and athletic kid who liked people, had goals, and possessed a wicked sense of humor.  I also stayed out of trouble, mostly for my mother's sake, so yes, I think I'd have liked to hang out with my own kids, and have them hang out with me.  I'd have rather not had to be their parent because you can't be a pal to your kids.  You have to be tremendously responsible for not slipping up and raising criminals, for one thing.
