Hi! I'm your host Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World". . Welcome to Sunday Stealing. This feature originated and published on WTIT: The Blog. 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. (Past hosts include: Our first - Judd Corizan, Mr. L, Kwizgiver and
Bud)  Cheers to all of us thieves!

Whew.  That's over.  Let's get back to normal and use "safe" questions that won't offend anybody (I don't think).  Thanks, everyone, for your support.

Now for the Questions!

1) What is your favorite TV show (currently)?
Mmmmm this is a tough one.  I don't watch TV at all.  I just watch Netflix which is sort of TV.

2) Would you like to be a child again?
No, and I never want to be a child EVER again.  I hope that that I get OUT OF THIS PLACE!
 
3) Has anyone ever told you that school times were the best period of his/her life? Would you say that to someone? Why?
I would say that I had good times at school for the most part, and it was because of the teachers that took an interest in me.  I will always be indebted to my teachers who were not  prejudiced, and who nurtured my sore little soul. The reason?  I made it to adulthood because of them.  I would want to be a teacher who had those qualities.  I never did get to be a teacher, which was my goal after my two oldest girls were in 1st and 2nd grade.
 
4) How's the weather?
It's sunny and warmish.  Around 70 degrees. 
 
5) Do you like camping?
Camping is my favorite thing to do.  I could easily be a Gypsy.
 
6) Do you believe in paranormal phenomena?
Yes.
 
7) If you would create a holiday, what would it be called and how would we celebrate it? When would this holiday be?

It would be Holy Hopjes Day..  It would be in Summer.  On the first Saturday of Summer, actually.  Our family actually celebrated this holiday for several years and ate Hopjes every Saturday as a sort of Church Sacrament.  Some of my friends may remember it. 

8) What word(s) do you dislike? Can you tell why? The way that "favorite" is spelled in England.  The "why" of this is that I find it confusing.

9) What color do you dislike? What do you associate with it?
There's no color I dislike.  
 
10) Do you believe in otherworldly creatures, eg. ghosts, etc?
Ha!  I think we are the Ghosts.  That's why the other creatures in the other dimensions ignore us.
 
11) Pick two of your favourite fictional characters. Where are they from (what movie, book, etc?) and why are they your favourite?
I love Amarante and Captain Barbosa.   They are both from movies, and I like them because they both are catalyst characters.  When they show up you know things are afoot!!
 
12) If you could change anything or add anything to your body would you? (this can be interpreted however, but, think, would you like to have fins or extra hands?)
I would like to be able to breathe underwater.
 
13) What are some family traditions you have/had growing up? Do you still continue them, if yes, why, if no, why not?
The Why? To honor my Mother, who always did her best to make the holidays good for her kids.  

Mother made a version of See's Candy fudge, the recipe for which came to her from someone mother worked with in the late 40's.  Also, she made chocolate covered Easter Eggs which my Grandmother made for Mother when she was a child.  I was tasked with grating the coconut meat for these treats.  I made this fudge until things changed in the amounts of the recipe.  
I have the recipe for the eggs, and recently found a product that will work for the coconut.   There aren't any other traditions that I can remember.
 
14) What do you think of tattoos? Do you have any?
I think they are ok.  I don't have any but always wanted a small one on my ankle.

15)  What is the most disgusting habit some people have?
Gee, IDK.. picking their noses?
 
16)  If you could bring back one TV show that was cancelled, which would it be?
I just haven't a clue here.  Sorry..
 
17) What was the most unsettling film you have ever seen?
"Schindler's List"  I've seen a lot of Documentaries that are horrid, too.

18) What book has impacted you the most?
I would say the Bible but it's not the most impact for me.  The one that had the most impact was, The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich

19) You're on Death Row and get one final meal: What is that meal and why do you choose it?
This is just too much.  I most certainly wouldn't eat.  
I just learned of yet another Black man, who was executed in a Southern State, and one which DNA evidence would have exonerated.  He was killed anyway, after 19 years on death row.  Yes, I take these things to heart.  It's the way I am.  I have NO illusions that the Nazi mindset has died away....
 
20) What is the first profession you remember wanting to become as a child?
I do remember wanting to be an architect, and thought I was probably going to be one.  I designed buildings when I was about 10 years old.  After that there came a crazy admixture of stuff.
