Sunday Stealing Live Journal Questions.

 Excerpted from Live Journal 5000 Questions

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. Cheers to all of us thieves! 

Sunday Stealing for this week....

11 Who is your favorite historical figure?  John Adams

12. White bread or wheat bread? I like both but in sliced breads, only wheat.

13. Do you usually do things fast or right? I like precision, so I like to do things right.

14. Are you or have you ever been in a band? No, just choirs and choruses. 

15. Here are 4 statements about me. Only one of them is true. Which one is it?

I am really gorgeous.  I am related to Queen Victoria.  I have had a dog named Cujo.  I have a big swimming pool under the floor of my house.

16. Would you wear a thong bathing suit in public? Remember, I'm gorgeous.  But... not THAT gorgeous. *wink*

17. Have you thought about death today? Yes.  It's really never very far from consciousness.

18. What is your favorite breakfast? French Toast with Strawberries and whipped cream.

19. Are you the life of the party?  Heck no.  But I still like parties if it's friends. 

20. If you hit an animal with your car would you get out to try and make sure it was okay? Absolutely. And, actually, I think it's the law in California but don't quote me.  I'm also too lazy to go look it up.

21. When do you get your most peaceful and satisfying sleep?  The most peaceful sleep is during the day when I take a nap.

22. What thought gets you out of bed in the morning?  "Is Wolfie still alive?"  And there is another, prevalent thought.  "Can I make it to the bathroom in time?"

23. What are you a member of?  I'm a card carrying member of the McCay (McCoy) clan. When the Laird brought his whole clan over before they could be slaughtered by the English.

24. Name one place you refuse to ever go.  I will never go to East L.A. This is why:

I was stuck there once with my roommate from Uni and her sister when we ran out of gas on the freeway at nearly midnight, on our way to their parent's house in Venice.  

We jumped the freeway fence and then had to run the reeking underpass below the freeway. We screamed all the way through it, and came out the other side by a gas station.  

There was an unruly mob just a little way from us like two gangs of people screaming insults at each other.  We all crammed into a telephone booth, and I called the operator who put me through to the Highway Patrol.  

A few minutes later a Prowl car showed up and bought us a can of gas. They then took us back to our car after Eyeballing the crowd,  who were all shocked to see three white girls in the back seat of a police car.  Some of them laughed hysterically and pointed at us.  

The CHP will ALWAYS BE MY HEROES! 

25. When (and if) people (or animals) go to heaven, do they become angels?  Since we are speaking of beliefs here..... yes, I believe they do.  It's something I've always believed.  Some animals have been Archangels, like the little black dog in Tobit.  

Wolfie is presently my black doggie angel.  I rest my case. 😇 

I think many people are also "Angels, Unaware", trapped here until release back into their Glory.  Saint Teresa of Avila, for instance.  And, that is the end of this ... ~Finis~

  1. I'm guessing that you being related to Queen Victoria is the truth. Am I right?

  2. I love your answers--and the #24 is so far out of the range of my experience--I simply cannot fathom!

    1. Thanks you Kwizgiver. Sunday Stealing is a heck of a lot of fun. The freeways in L.A. I would wish on no person, living or dead. Especially the ones in East L.A. lol It was a big adventure just short of sky diving. I'm sure my roommate and her sister retold it many times; I know I have!

  3. A grandchild of Queen Victoria! That's super special! Royalty. And I personally think you are gorgeous, at least on the inside, just based on what I've seen you write.

    1. Oh yes, but doesn't really mean all that much, to be honest. Mother knew that her paternal grandparents were minor royals (English and Austrian) but I never thought much about it until having my own DNA done a few years ago. Me, the Iconoclast!
      And you are very kind to think me gorgeous inside. *blush* It's the best thing anyone has said to me for some time now. Thank you. ❤️ My goal is kindness, but Trump sort of threw a brick through that bright and shiny window, so he did.

  4. Have you seen the John Adams miniseries that was on HBO? Paul Giametti and Laura Linney were fantastic as John and Abigail.

    1. Thank you for your comment, Julie.
      I haven't seen that on HBO but did see it on PBS some time ago. As you say, it's fantastic!
      I've also bought and read the book about him by David McCullough when it was hot off the press.
      John Adams, and Abigail, were really pivotal in our history, as they never let anything go to their heads. They stayed, "of the people".
