What inanimate object do you wish you could eliminate from existence?

What tells you the most about a person?

What is something you thought would be easy until you tried it?

What ridiculous and untrue, yet slightly plausible, theories can you come up with for the cause of common ailments like headaches or cavities?

What do you believe but cannot prove?

Do animals have morals? Exclude human beings from the equation please.

Is there inherent order in nature or is it all chaos and chance?

Where is your least favorite place in the world?

Would you rather be a super nice person and be depressed all your life, or be happy and a total *sshole? (Credit goes to Cyranny for this question, aired on one of her “Cyranny’s Quickies” posts.)
Have you ever made someone cry?
Are you a dreamer or a go-getter?
If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?

I don’t think that a ‘super nice person’ has it in them to be to be an *sshole. Nor do I think that super nice people will live in a life of depressed friendships.

Have you ever made someone cry?

Crying is a necessary part of the “Circle of Life”.

Are you a dreamer or a go-getter?

Before you can ever be a ‘go-getter’ you have to have dreamed. To only dream is to live a life that never gets off the ~~starting line~~ … the sofa.

If you were in a band, what instrument would you play?

I enjoy playing many musical instruments- to a small degree- but the instrument I miss the most is being able to play my vocal cords

Which would you rather throw away: Love or Money?
Do you believe you should do one thing a day that scares you?
What’s the last thing you do at night?
If you could own a mythical creature (unicorn, phoenix, etc.), which one would you pick? (A nod to the soon ending 2021 A-Z Blogging Challenge, my topic this year “Mythical Creatures”)

Which would you rather throw away: Love or Money?

Love seems to be in shorter supply… because for question FOUR, I have already taken care of the money!

Do you believe you should do one thing a day that scares you?

Does weighing oneself each morning count?

What’s the last thing you do at night?

Recently, I have been listening to old-time radio shows each night.

If you could own a mythical creature (unicorn, phoenix, etc.), which one would you pick? (A nod to the soon ending 2021 A-Z Blogging Challenge, my topic this year “Mythical Creatures”)

For Share Your World, you are always invited to answer four great questions…

Do you think psychic abilities exist?
How would you describe peanut butter to someone who didn’t know what it was?
Why does an octopus squirt ink?
Who are two of today’s greatest entertainers in your opinion? (can be actors, musicians, singers etc)

Do you think psychic abilities exist?

I knew you were going to ask that question!

How would you describe peanut butter to someone who didn’t know what it was?

I put some in my mouth yesterday to decide the perfect taste description and found that I couldn’t talk and taste at the same time? So, peanut butter is indescribably delicious!

Why does an octopus squirt ink?

Because an octopus has far too many legs to allow it to wear pants, so there are no pckets to carry a pencil. Duh!

Who are two THREE of today’s greatest entertainers in your opinion? (can be actors, musicians, singers etc)

Devin Booker (Star of the Phoenix Suns NBA Basketball Team)

Freddie Freeman and Austin Riley (Stars of the Atlanta Braves MLB Baseball Team)

What is knowledge?

How do you define consciousness (self awareness)?

Is it possible to prove that other people besides yourself have consciousness?

Would you be able to tell if time had been altered in some way?

Do you like potato chips (they’re called ‘crisps’ in Europe I believe)?

What is knowledge?

KNOWLEDGE is easily obtained… Even Sponge Bob can succeed at this. WISDOM… That’s something far harder to pursue successfully.

How do you define consciousness (self awareness)?

Successfully finishing my first cuppa allows for CONSCIOUSNESS.

Is it possible to prove that other people besides yourself have consciousness?

Someone emptying the pot ahead of you means there is someone else ‘aware’.

Would you be able to tell if time had been altered in some way?

That’s an easy one…. ALEXA knows everything. Just ask!

Do you like potato chips (they’re called ‘crisps’ in Europe I believe)?

If not now, then when?

Can you describe your life in a six-word sentence?

Do you remember that thing people used to say, about how you swallow eight spiders a year while you sleep? It’s not true, but do you think you’ve ever swallowed any? What bug do you think you’ve eaten the most of by accident?

What’s the best approach to resolving conflict?

If not now, then when?

There is NEVER a “Not Now” I have a TO-DO LIST as long as Sponge-Bob’s and I am constantly shortening it.

Can you describe your life in a six-word sentence?

I can truthfully say that I… (Oops, I ran out of words?)

I always make sure all my ‘pets’ are safly housed before sleeping!

What’s the best approach to resolving conflict?

The Neighborhood

Posted on March 30, 2021March 6, 2021 by rogershipp

The Neighborhood

(On CBS)

The Neighborhood takes two families, a white Midwestern family and an African-American family, and creates a pseudo-neighborhood relationship sitcom.

It is a great way at showing the differences in the way these two families experience and see the world WITHOUT the preaching.

The White Midwestern Family

Dave Johnson: the perfect neighbor- so perfect, you want to kill him! A conflict mediator.
Gemma: an elementary school principal at a progressive (virtually all-white) school
Grover: the innocent- sometimes too-all-knowing son in elementary school

The African-American Family

Calvin Butler (Cedric the Entertainer): owner of an auto repair shop
Tina Butler: once dreamed of being a singer, now works in the auto repair shop with her husband
Malcolm Butler: the oldest don, once a baseball star- but was injured. Now seeking a purpose.
Marty Butler: the younger son. A computer space scientist. A nerd!

Funny… Sometimes a little off-color (just as life happens to be)… and often very thought provoking.

Worth a watch… or two!

How well do you know your next-door neighbors? Do you like them? (credit to Cyranny for the question)

Do you have a full-length mirror? (credit to Sadje for the rest of the questions)

How many items of clothing are in your bedroom (or closet) and not hung up?

How well do you know your next-door neighbors? Do you like them? (credit to Cyranny for the question)

My next-door neighbors are awesome. I saw them just the other day, I think was June of 1993.

Do you have a full-length mirror? (credit to Sadje for the rest of the questions)

With a body like this, who wouldn’t want a full-length mirror!

How many items of clothing are in your bedroom (or closet) and not hung up?

I am a very neat and tidy person. Very single item of clothing and footwear is organized. Labeled, and in its proper place. So tell that conniving paparazzi to go to my next-door neighbor’s house to take pictures. LEAVE ME ALONE!
