Rolling Stone on How it was done..The stealing of an Election.

This is a fight for HUMAN RIGHTS as guaranteed by none other then the BILL OF RIGHTS and our U.S. Constitution.

 Yes, I'm mad as hell and I don't want to just shut my eyes and stick my head into the sand.

What I want is a real democracy, not a manipulated Frankenstein government YET again...

Article From Rolling Stone on this crime.

Please, just let us run our country without the billions of dollars that go into buying access to the Senate, the House or the President?

Can we all just be allowed to Fracking VOTE?????

Ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies...Sunday Stealing Ask, ASK ...

ASK!

The button is in the sidebar for this interesting and lively meme.  

CHEERS TO ALL US THIEVES!

Ask, ask, ASK--part 2

 26 - Did you have an accident last year?
I don't think so....  it's hard to remember last year right now.  Can I get back to you?

 27 - Do you have any famous relatives?
Nope sorry, no very interesting ones except some McCoys.  But you all know that.  Infamous is what they were.
 28 - Did you ever had a kiss under the moonlight?
Who over the age of 18 hasn't?

 29 - Have you ever been jealous?
Of course.  I used to be jealous of little blond girls.  I'm so over it.  

 30 - How can you prove your love to someone?
In General?  Just by standing with them in anything life threatening, or shortening, and holding their hand in times of trouble.  That is the greatest expression of Love there is.  Romantic love is dying for someone.  And you thought I was going to say it was Ess Eee X.  

 31 - What are you thinking right now?
I'm not committing it to the internet.  I don't want to go to prison.  I'm too old for that crap, and I don't look good in Orange.

 32 - Have you ever sacrificed something important to you for someone you love?
Yes, I have.  I decided to have that baby.  That baby turned out to be twins who, along with their sisters, have lit up my life with the whole gamut of  human experiences and emotions.  I love them so much.

 33 - Can you live without internet?
I can, but I'd rather not.

 34 - Have you been so emotional that you can’t find words to explain how you feel?
I've been so emotional that I couldn't even talk.

 35 - Did you ever badmouth someone?
Such a question.  It's human to have, at least ONCE in our lives, bad mouthed someone.  Believe me, they had it coming.

 36 - What do you prefer, jeans or skirt?
I used to live in jeans.  Not anymore.  Long skirts yes.  

 37 - Do you have trust issues?
Since I no longer trust the Universe, yes, I do.

 38 - What's something that you made all on your own and are incredibly proud of?
My art work and silversmithing.  I'm not what you call incredibly proud of it, it's just such a good feeling to think back about it and know that, yes, I really did make all that stuff.

 39 - Who’s the person who first comes to your mind when someone mentions “love”?
The wonderful guy that danced into my life one night, out of the blue, and saved me.

 40 - Who was the last person you hugged?
Him.  We'd been moving boxes and I was a little bent over to the side, and he hugged me straight on back up.  Sweet!

 41 - Do you believe in the phrase “If it’s meant to be, it will be”?
No, I believe in things that are good luck, things that are bad luck, and things that happen when you are busy making plans.  Those are the sure bets in Life.

 42 - Do people praise you for your looks?
Not anymore but once upon a time, yes.

 43 - Do you believe in destiny?
I believe in good luck, bad luck and things that happen when you are busy making plans.

 44 - Have you ever thought “I already found my soulmate”?
Yes.  At this time, I feel like a part of someone else's soul.

 45 - Do you like nicknames that are from your name?
My Name IS someone's nickname, so there isn't any further to go with it.  I guess you could call me Zipporahlina..  I sort of feel a Dean Martin song coming on......

 46 - Could you ever be a vegan?
Yes, I only eat a little meat because I need to at this time in life, if I want to live longer.  The jury is still out on the Iffy part of that.
 47 - Do you currently have bruises on your body?
On the internet we are supposed to talk about the bruises on our bodies?  I know, I'm the woman who put the stitches on the wrist and knee up here.  Don't ask about my bruises.  The dog charges in from his walks and hits me full force on my right leg when he leaps up into my chair with me in it.  I've quit looking at them or even counting them.

 48 - What should you be doing right now?
I should be reading a library book, but the library loan ended and they snatched it back faster than a far...well pretty fast!  I'm planning on reading a kid's book I found today that was published in 1914.  I'll see if I can read that one.

 49 - I read in a magazine that shoulder pads are coming back. Are you happy to hear this or do you not find them to be very attractive?
Because I was a swimmer almost my entire life, I have broad shoulders.  But I do like the look just can't wear it without looking like I played football all my life. 
Think of this: Without "Big Hair" women are going to look like pin heads again, though.  Better be prepared for the Big Hair, too, eh?  I'm practicing, "eh", and my Canadian aphorisms and cadences lately.  I wonder why?

 50 - Did you ever feel like you’re not good enough?
I've always known I'm not good enough but it's never stopped me.  Is this a Psychological Profiling thingie because if it is I want to take the Rorschach blot test that goes with that.  

Anyone want to join me, Go HERE  to TheInkBlot.com site.  Fun fun for the whole family, at least the fingerpainting crowd, who will get a big kick out of it.

And now, we're going to get ready to sail for Tasmania!  We'll probably bank off the Hawaiian Islands and hit Fiji, Samoa, and New Caledonia- then on toward Bass Strait. G'Day Mates!

What comes next Zarathustra?


When the shock wears off that an arrogant bigot with such a far reaching anti human rights  agenda has won an election but not the popular vote, the move to change this into a real democracy will get rolling.  I intend to do everything in my power to see this happen, for the sake of the children of the country who deserve to live better and safer lives.  If we say or do nothing they will be the ones who pay.  Think what happened in Cambodia.

Saturday9: The Ballad of Gilligan's Island

Ballad of Gilligan's Island




Welcome to Saturday 9. What we've committed to our readers is that we will post 9 questions every Saturday. Sometimes the post will have a theme, and at other times the questions will be totally unrelated. Those weeks we do "random questions," so-to-speak. We encourage you to visit other participants posts and leave a comment. Because we don't have any rules, it is your choice. We hate rules. We love memes, however, and here is today's meme!  

Saturday 9: Ballad of Gilligan's Island (1964)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.

1) This is about the fateful cruise of the S.S. Minnow. If you had a boat, what would christen it?
Probably a plastic glass full of Champagne daringly aimed at the bow.  I'd tie a string to it so that I could retrieve the glass so it wouldn't end up in the Mid Pacific Gyre , aka the Great Pacific Garbage Patch.  But if you meant what I'd name, it would be  "Pleiades", or "Seven Sisters".  This was a secret name I had for the gathering of all the seven girl cousins at birthdays and such.  Seven little Sisters. However, things hardly ever work out for the poetically inclined. 

2)  "No phone! No lights! No motorcar! Not a single luxury!" To Sam, those sound more like everyday essentials than luxuries. If you were shipwrecked with the gang, what standard amenity would you miss the most?
I'd likely miss yarn and needles, aka, my knitting.  Hopefully there would be something, ANYTHING, I could find to unravel and remake into hats or sandals.  Sticks would be everywhere....

3) The uncharted isle was in the Pacific, near Hawaii. Have you ever been to our 50th state?
No, sadly, I have not ever been there.  I'd have loved to live there when we were young.
  I love Styx so very much!!
  
The Full Concert!   Rock ON!!! "Return to Paradise"



4) Natalie Schafer, who played Mrs. Howell, refused to divulge her age. Are you honest about how old you are? Or do you fudge it?
I used to fudge it upwards when I was 19.  Now, I just don't.  It's just never occurred to me to keep on fudging it is all, since I'd missed being able to vote - by four years - in the first election of JFK, a person that I truly admired.  It's impossible to lie to the Board of Elections.  Perhaps they can be scammed but not a face to face lie.  Four years later, I would have missed JFK's second election by one month, but of course, the point of it all was by then moot.  
  
5) Gilligan's Island featured many dream sequences. (Like the one where Gilligan dozes off and dreams that he's Jack from Jack and the Beanstalk.) Have you had any vivid dreams lately?
Yes, a few.  I see them as instructive.  In one a light haired, smiling, odd looking older man was pouring out a cup, over and over.  He had missing teeth and looked like an ancient, semi-blond Guru of sorts-naked to the waist.  I know exactly what this dream means, having heard the story of the "Too Full Cup" from my trainer a few years ago.  So, now, I'm pouring out my cup to make room for someone to pour something new into it.  New knowledge from Sage like teachers.  The Link goes to Bengt Wendel's blog.  I used his because it's not monetized.

6) The pilot was filmed in November, 1963, in Honolulu. The cast and crew were actually onset when they learned of President Kennedy's assassination.* Because on location filming was so expensive, they couldn't afford to take any time off.  Tell us about a time when you had to work, even though your heart and head weren't in it. 
I guess that time is now.

7) During the show's run, Mary Ann (Dawn Wells) was the clear fan favorite, receiving twice as many love letters as Ginger (Tina Louise). Have you ever written a fan letter (or posted a fan tweet or Facebook post)?
Well, my social media are nearly null, so not the latter two.  And I can't remember ever writing a fan letter, either.  I had my head buried in my books most of the time.  I have written to presidents from time to time.  Sometimes  they were fan-ish letters but mostly not. ;o)

8) Sam chose this week's song because it was going through her head, over and over again! Tell us a song that burrows into your head and stays there.

Last night it was the Scarecrow's Song from Wizard of Oz.  


I just feel so completely brainless right now.

9)  Random question: You went to a discount store and got an amazing bargain -- a pair of dress shoes for just $4.99. You go to a formal event and someone compliments you on those great shoes and asks where you got them. Do you tell the truth?
At a formal event, I would just say, "I can't remember where I got these.  Maybe they were a gift? But they are very comfortable and I'm grateful to have them."  Formal events are not the place to "tell all", or expose your soft underbelly of thrift. 

*That's why, in the credits for the black and white seasons, the flags are at half-staff when The Minnow leaves the harbor.

And, Here is a LINK BACK to Saturday 9 so you can join in this fun weekly meme.  Come on, you know you like music and stuff....

Mad about what has happened? Try Tasmania! and check out National Popular Vote links....

Oh, and here's a link from Tasmania that I just found ... This one's fun!  Thanks you Chris!

Forget Canada, Come to Tasmania..

I'm posting the rest of all this STUFFFFFF because it seems critically important to do...  Mr. Z. told me about this...otherwise I'd still be sulking.  Here's a way to fight back!!

It's called National Popular Vote movement, and there's a link at the bottom of this page.

This is a petition you can sign to support the people who have been working since 2013 to insure that the candidate who wins the popular election is assured of the of the electoral college vote.  It was originally started by Lady Gaga.    That link goes to a news story.. expect some back flak, what I call advertising at sites that should know better than to load a page with litter.

This is the link to a petition:

https://www.change.org/p/electoral-college-electors-electoral-college-make-hillary-clinton-president-on-december-19

Several states have already made it mandatory that the electoral votes from their states are bound,  by law, to vote for the candidate who receives the highest number of votes.  California is one of them.

This effort was started by National Popular Vote

I think it's time we stood up on our hind legs and roared.

Friday5 been anywhere nice lately?

Hello, and welcome to this week’s Friday 5!  Please copy these questions to your webspace.  Answer the questions there; then leave a comment below so we’ll all know where to check out your responses.  Please don’t forget to link us from your website!

What’s the tourist attraction nearest you that most people from other places are aware of?    Balboa park, with the Zoo and the museums.  Also Spanish Village artists colony.

What’s a tourist attraction you’ve visited that was better than you expected?  Old Town, I thought they would ruin it but they made it even  more fun and an  better place  for families.

What’s a tourist attraction you’ve visited that was disappointing?   I don't like Seaworld.   By the by, I was told Disney tried to obtain the land there to build Disneyland but was rebuked.  Ha!  City council pals had other plans.  My economics teacher told us this.  Now Disney may buy seaworld?  Stay tuned!  

What’s a tourist attraction you’re still hoping to visit?  Olympic National Park, in Washington. 

Excluding restaurants, what tourist attraction you’ve visited had the best food and the best gift shop?  The Gas Lamp Quarter, before it changed.  And Seaport Village but I believe they've been nerfed by the Port District. 

Join this fun and thoughtful meme at  the Friday 5 blog.

Thanks for participating!  May you have a blessed, peaceful weekend.

πŸŽ‰ Birthdays πŸŽ‰

Happy birthday Jimmie and Georgie...  I hope you see this and know we love you.   😘. πŸ’—❤️️πŸ’žπŸ’–❣️❤️

Mother is tired 😴 πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€πŸ’€. Love you!!!

Abraham Lincoln......

He said, almost..this is a misquote....

" It hurts too much too laugh, and I'm too old to cry"

Thursday13.... that little box I found...

I missed last week so, being busy, it seemed now or never!

The little box found while cleaning out
There are more things in there but it's ok, these are the best ones.


And,  if there's a pair, it counts as one.... that's how I'm counting things, even the beads.

Ok, describing from the upper left and all around the loop and back to the beads....One roadrunner got a little lost.

1. A pair of half finished pasta angels.  A friend taught me how to make them, but these two didn't get all the way made.

2. A silver road runner pin, the lost one.....
I bought this at a show in Quartzsite.  It's handcrafted, as are all the others, and has a tiny chip of turquoise for an eye.

3. Another bigger and more interesting road runner pin
This is another antique pin and bought at Tucson show.

4. A little dichroic bird I made to wire wrap but never finished.
I still can do this and there might be a time when my mojo comes back in order for that to happen.

5. A little beautiful abalone shell hummingbird pin.
There was a bead show in town that used to be at scottish rite temple, and that's where I found this beautiful native american made pin.

6. A hand blown blue dolphin bead.
This and the other bead on the necklace came from the same bead show as the hummingbird pin.

7. Earrings..
I made these out of garnet chips, fresh water pearls, and rose quartz beads bought in Quartzsite.

8. I made this earring that actually belongs to a pair.  The dolphin bead at #6 was going to go into the remake, as the first one lost it's tail while being mishandled.  It happens.

9. Half of a pair of Asymmetrical earrings that really rock!  They are too heavy for my ears now.

10. Two little Rhodochrosite carved fish beads that will be made into a pair of earrings when I get that round tuit that I need to get.  :o)

11. A Radke bead.  She has since become very famous, and I was really on the ground floor to get a few of her exquisite beads from a show in town at a different venue.  I gave most of these beads away to a friend of my daughters who works in beads and makes beautiful things.  I felt they needed a home where they were going to be used and not just stored.  All my beads, nearly, when to my daughter's friend.  It was a special request from Laura.

12. An earcuff that I made from some silver wire (now very tarnished) and iridescent beads.  A woman in the rockhounds learned from someone at a Thanksgiving Show we all attended, and then she taught us (the rest of the rockhound Gals) how to create them.  That was a show we, our rockhound club, had hosted in Barstow.

13.  These count as one item, as they are all made by a wonderful guy that made all sorts of beads using a technique known as lampwork.  They are made from a base of fluted copper tubing, with hot glass applied.  The glass rods are melted in the flame of a torch and thinly wound around and around until the glass fills the entire tubular surface.  These are beautiful and sort of look like opal glass.  I met him when I was helping at a senior center and he was demonstrating how to create them.  I was a mere kid at 50.  He was in his 70's.

Hope you enjoyed a small trip of nostalgia and all from a tiny round plastic box, found while cleaning out.   Happy T13!
Anyone wanting to join in can click the watermelon slice in the sidebar or go here for the Linky to see the other participant's offerings.  It's fun, and alway entertaining.

Tuesday Tails....UpDated with different Hope for Paws. plus... a Knitting update?

The YouTube subscriber, that video from Hope for Paws, must have run into some sort of trouble and it's not available anymore.  So, a very territorial.. stay away from my body... type doggie gets rescued.






I'm not ready to declare my knitting gene dead or mutated yet.  However, I now know that simply putting  your knitting project in a nifty basket/ extra lovely Dear to your  heart Designer bag from the Gucci knock off store, or even a brown paper sack will not make you actually take it up and fondly knit.

I suggest taking it into your hands and holding it to keep those hands warm.  This also serves to let you know in your heart that this is halfway to it's purpose and just might work.  I'll do that tomorrow.

That web page had Google on the ropes for awhile, I think.  I'm still picking code out of my teeth but nailed it all.

Music Monday: Dean Martin sings "Mambo Italiano"

A blast from the past. I was looking for Rosemary Clooney, but she only sang it for a dub in a movie I suppose.

Enjoy 😊

Sunday Stealing: Ask, ask, ASK

November 5, 2016

Ask, ask, ASK


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!!!  

Ask, ask, ASK

1 - Who was the last person you texted? 
A playpal, so we all could meet up and go do something like get leather and seeds for our stashes.

2 - When is your birthday?
It's right before Christmas.  In fact, I was born at home and in a snow storm.  The attending family doctor returned his fee because he considered me a Christmas present.  He was a wonderful person who always did the most unexpected, kind, and amazing things for people.

3 - Who do you want to be with right now?
Ding ding ding, and the answer is....

4 - What sports do you play?
As a young adult, I used to enjoy playing tennis, cycling and swimming.  Until my last surgery, I still enjoyed swimming from time to time.

5 - Who is the first person in your blogroll?
Dawn, a buddy from Knitter's Guild.

6 - What is your favorite song at the moment?
There's just too many songs to list them.... but this is my ear worm at the moment....



It is about my daughter.  Sometimes I feel her close to me.  So close...

7 - If you were stranded on an island, who do you wish to be with?
Mr. Z.  He's pretty much a MacGyver type.  He knows how to build a weir, and can fix literally anything.  We are both good in the wilderness.  This is a "keepsake" from one of our first camping trips together with our two tiny girls in the mid 60's.  He saw me brushing the picnic table off with my hands and made me this little pine needle brush to avoid splinters.




8 - What do you feel right now?
I feel quite strange, how about you?

9 - What chocolate is your favorite?
I like that dark chocolate Big bar (Pound Plus) from TJs.  I don't get to eat it all in one day though.  Tempting but not very smart. heehee

10 - How many boyfriends/girlfriends did you have?
Only the one.  He came at just the right time, too.  Before I went totally insane.

11 - Why did you create a blog account?
It was to show what I was knitting.  It was just after starting my first pair of socks.  Of course, it does cut into my knitting time but who cares?  Not me!

12 - Who is your favorite blogger?
I read over a hundred blogs.  They are all great.  Every person on the planet has a unique voice, and blogging brings that out, over time.  There is no better way to "see humanity" than through blogs.  I pray for people, by name, that I've never met face to face.  It's a sort of Nun thing to do.  Ya know?
Of course, I totally trust the Lord to know who, say, Binkie Blue Eyes is.  I see no obstacles.

13 - Where do you want to be right now?
I want to be in Santa Cruz, with DH, and in a house big enough to share with our struggling kids.

14 - What do you want to be in the future?
I just don't think about the future except I do NOT want a maniac straight up from the ranks of what has ruined (and has always ruined) the happiness of millions for the sake of a few more bucks.  Beware the Orange Menace!

15 - When was the last time you cried? Why?
Well, we can skip this one.  I'm crying now.

16 - Are you happy?
Ask me in a few months or maybe even years?

17 - Who do you miss?
My daughter.  And I miss being with her sisters and my two newly proclaimed sons.  Seeing all of them would be great.

18 - If you were given a chance, would you like to have a different life?
Yes.  I'd like a life with no untimely death in it.  I'm sick of this particular "Oddment of Life".

19 - What was the best thing you were given?
By God?  My sibs and own family.  By nature?  My voice.  

20 - Who was the last person who called you?
The groomer, or some anonymous roto caller wanting to inform me of the pros and cons of this or that.  They all go to voice mail where they can be flicked.

21 - What is your favorite dish?
Food?  I like pasta of any kind.  Someone has had the good sense to market wheat free pastas.

22 - Who is your best friend?
Mr. Z.  Meffie is my BFF.  I think of you all the time Meffie, in case you can read this.

23 - What is your biggest regret?
Not getting a Master of Fine Arts at UCLA when I had the chance.  Unfortunately, that might have changed so much in life that I might never have had the chance to have my wonderful children and husband.  If you change a single thing, you risk changing everything.

24 - Have you ever avoided your partner?
No.  He's probably avoided me. lol  I couldn't blame him.  Sometimes I'm wildly political, going all the way back to Sumeria for points made.

25 - Who do you spend crazy moments with?
Crazy is my sibs and me together.  We laugh and laugh about having a Psycho for a Dad, and other things.  It's that old, "If you don't laugh then you just gotta cry" thing.

Here's a little cheer me up that I like to watch from time to time.
Some of these seem a little cruel because the parents try to make the babies cry.  But there are a lot of funny baby moments in here.  Hope you agree.  Laugh and cry.....

Saturday: Ya, I thought it was something like that.....



Saturday 9: Hold It Against Me (2011)

Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
Wow! ....... Lol!
Sam, please forgive me.

1) Britney Spears addresses this song to a dance partner when she hears her favorite song. What song always makes you want to get up and dance?

That would be, "Heart of Glass" by Blondie...  Even though it's a bit techno reverbish


I don't know about you, but now I feel like dancing.

2) She sings that she needs a vacation. How about you? If you could escape anywhere for an affordable three-day weekend, where would you go?
I'd go to Santa Cruz to see my daughters and sons.

3) Britney shows off her dance moves in this video. Her coordination shouldn't be surprising, since she was already an accomplished gymnast in grade school. If we asked you to turn a somersault right now, could you do it?
 The last sumersault I turned was a little while before knee replacement, at 69.  But alas, no I couldn't do it anymore. Well, maybe with a "spotter".

4) Britney's first and only feature film was Crossroads, written by Shonda Rhimes. Ms. Rhimes is famous for writing popular TV series including Grey's Anatomy, Scandal, The Catch and How to Get Away with Murder. Have you watched any Shonda Rhimes shows? 
I've watched Grey's Anatomy and quit when it started seeming like it was turning into a soap opera.

5) Britney admits to smoking and biting her nails. Do you share either of these bad habits? 
  No, but I probably have some others.  Procrastination counts, yes?

6) Britney prefers Margherita pizza to thin slice or deep dish pizza. What's your pizza preference?
Sorry, I can't eat pizza now.  I'll have to go look up Margherita Pizza.  

7) In 2011, when this song was popular, Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton was big news. Are you a royal watcher?
Of all types of people, royals or celebrities are not the people I keep my eyes on.  

8) Apple co-founder Steve Jobs died in 2011. Do you have a Mac, and iPad or an iPhone?
I wish I had a Mac.  For the graphic artist there is nothing better.  I have an old iPad and an even older iPhone.  They are my technologie grandmere.   I'm feeling  trΓ©s french today.  Pardon.  ;o)

9)  Random question: Which friend annoys you more, the one who interrupts you all the time, or the one who is never on time? 
I can understand how both would be annoying.  Hours late I would be annoyed but we usually meet friends with a "1ish" or a "2 ish" sort of agreement.  We live in a giant city with beaucoup traffic. 

And, I'm just glad to see my friends, so as to talking, I'm the quiet, repartΓ© sort, so I do most of the listening anyway.  I realize that, at my age, there's a lot of deafness going around, so people do interrupt if they don't hear someone else talking.  We all make allowances.  




Thanks so much for joining us again at Saturday: 9. As always, feel free to come back, see who has participated and comment on their posts. In fact sometimes, if you want to read & comment on everyone's responses, you might want to check back again tomorrow. But it is not a rule. We haven’t any rules here. Join us on next Saturday for another version of Saturday: 9, "Just A Silly Meme on a Saturday!" Enjoy your weekend!

friday5 Peachy stuff... Nice focus, really, since peaches are still fresh in the memory.....

Go HERE in order to play along.  This one is short and interesting, every single Friday.

friday5!  And a bouquet, this for the blogger/host who has leapt tall buildings to get it back on line.


Five Questions...

1. What’s your favorite way to consume peaches?
Fresh and ripe.  I do eat them dried, too, and canned, but like them best as fresh fruit.

2. To what dish does basil make its best contribution?
Basil makes the most delicious Pesto sauce.  I like to make it with fresh basil, pine nuts, lemon, and olive oil with a little salt.

3. What’s something you’re feeling peachy-keen about?
Well, I could tell you that there is nothing, but let me think.  *tic toc tic toc*  I am getting the Wall of Boxes thrashed out.  Then I'll cover it with Forest Green Sheets, garlands, and lace for the holidays.  

4. What’s a cooking herb you dislike?
There is something, a singular spice or maybe a blend, in Indian food that I cannot bear the smell of.  Therefore I don't eat Indian take out, or even eat in.

2. What’s something in your residence that’s peach-colored or nearly peach-colored?
 That would be a literal shed load of  quilting fabrics. And there's a little teddy bear with glasses on the printer top who is wearing Wolfie's last peach colored necktie as a babushka.  It's really orange but it's wrong side out.

Thanks so much for bringing this meme back to life.  It's one of my five favorites ones.  BIG HUGS!!!

My beautiful header is gone.. removed …

UPDATED…It’s back up πŸ†™  and in the right place.  Whew!! 😰 it’s a LOT BIGGER than it should be… but ….. what the heck?  I just don’t think ...
