Watch Me Answer All the Questions
Crystalline posted a list of questions and here are my answers.
Have you ever…
1. Watched an episode of Game of Thrones? Sadly the answer is yes. I was confused and a little disturbed by the violence…
2. Made your own play-doh? When the boys were young I made it on several occasions. I learned not to make blue because the blue just wouldn’t come off the table or hands!!
3. Slept overnight in a car? Just once. It was before we were married and we had gone on a trip to Gettysburg for a re-enactment of the Civil War battle. We were camping with another couple and all was fine until it started to rain. The tent was not so good at keeping the rain out so we abandoned it for the dry interior of the car…
4. Been to Canada? Twice. I went once as a child with my family for the 1970 Expo and once with my husband on our way to Niagara Falls.
5. Been hitchhiking? Never! I was warned about the dangers of hitchhiking and was always careful not to put myself in dangerous situations!
6. Been part of a ‘live studio audience’? Nope. I always thought it would be a letdown compared to the TV viewing experience…
7. Had a Cabbage Patch doll? Not on your life! I was an adult when that craze hit and there was no way I’d risk life and limb for a really ugly, over priced doll.
8. Raised sea monkeys? Of course I tried. I don’t think they ever hatched. Now I raise “sea monkeys” at work. The magic is gone!
9. Eaten a starfruit? Yum! We used to buy them on the discount shelf before they were popular. The stores never could sell them quick enough and my sons would be thrilled when we scored a couple!
10. Seen a humming bird? My mother in-law has a feeder and they come around regularly. They look like oversized hornets!
11. Had a lady bug or butterfly land on you? Who hasn’t? I had a beetle fly into my ear as a 6 year old! That was an awful experience. Luckily my grandmother had some baby oil and we floated it out of my ear…
12. Made your own icecream? Snow ice cream is the best!
13. Fired a gun? As a Civil War Re-enactor, one of the soldiers let me fire a musket. That is the extent of my gun experience. I don’t really like guns. I’m more a knife kind of girl.
14. Been fired from a job? Mercy no!
15. Changed a tire? As a lady I take pride I the fact that the few times I’ve had a flat tire, a gallant gentleman or AAA has come to my rescue!Here is today's Stressed-out June Scavenger Hunt for prompt #4 - ambush. I decided to switch it up and write a Shadorma. A Shadorma poem consists of six unrhymed lines with a strict syllable count of 3/5/3/3/7/5 per verse. There can be as many verses as you want. I stopped at one!

I think I did most of those.
For some reason I can't get to her site. Maybe I should try again.
If you go to your side bar menu on the dashboard there should be a tab for "Following" if she shows up just click on following. If she isn't there maybe she can add you by following you... I'm not sure how that works.
@mcbery: I wish I knew how to let you (and a couple others)into my site without opening the gates for everyone. I need to keep the locks on for personal reasons. I checked the followers list and it said "approved" since Nov2014, but that might be the date I started following you. I don't see you listed elsewhere, even under pending, and since Xanga2.0 I don't know how to have you put in a new request for me to accept. Perhaps someone reading this can help.
If you follow her and then comment and then she comments and you "approve" her comment then it might work... I bet this would be a great question to ask Joel or Eugenia or even John... providing they respond.
Thanks Val for participating. I enjoy questionaires and seeing the replies. I used to see a lot more of them in 1.0.
Red dye stains too. If you turn blue, just call yourself a smurf. hehe.
Though I've slept in a car on numerous travels to save $ and time, your camping in the rain story reminded me of a particular boyscout trip with my sons where we had to abandon the tent and sleep in the car due to a massive thunderstorm.
Awww, you think Cabbage Patch dolls are ugly? Though I agree the fray for them while overpriced was rediculous, my mother purchased one for me at a reasonable price, without any mobbing and I thought it was kindof cute. I liked it's squishy body, blonde pigtails, and even a dimple. My mother, who likes to sew, made several outfits for it.
A bug in your ear... eeek, that's the stuff of horror tales by the campfire (and a particular StarTrek movie)
The questions were fun and I hadn't done one in a long time! I was just a little too old for cabbage patch dolls. I know that some people were just crazy about them - even mothers, grandmothers, and people my age. I just was more interested in what I could see in a microscope than a doll that came with adoption papers...
I, too, have tried to get to Crystalinne's site. I think she's the only consistent commenter on the sites of those I read that I can't get to!
This is a fun list -- and a fun way to know you a little better!
Maybe if you reply to a comment of hers and she approves your comment and follows you then maybe you can follow her? I think this is an issue xanga 2.0 needs to address ASAP!
Fun list indeed. I hope the humming birds will visit us soon. If they have come to the yard, I haven't seen them. It used to be, that I would see tens and twenties of them all the time, but these last two years have been rather skimpy.
I've seen a decrease in the numbers over the years but I think they are rebounding. Maybe this year you'll see many more!
I have no access to her site, but sad to say, some of my answers would not be as noble as yours. I do, however like hummingbirds, though a couple of them have come at me, like hornets.
Noble answers? Probably because I've always colored within the lines...Humming birds seem so elusive - I didn't think they were aggressive.
