Um, I'm in the bedroom at present and I'm afraid e everything is pretty straightforward.
ReplyDelete2. Yuck, I hate tapioca too. I also can't stand pumpkin, which you guys might call winter squash? Anyway we only ever eat it as a vegetable. Alth6ugh when I say "we" obviously I don't mean me!
3. Nothing strange, although now I know a man purse has its own name.
4. Not sure why I'm answering this particular post since I'm apparently the most boring person around. Oh well.
5. I thought about standing for some sort of polical office when I was younger, since I held, and still hold pretty strong views on matters (which I'm happy to see most of you share), but I never dared to stand since I figured once they dug up my seedy past, ie my out of wedlock baby, I would never be accepted for preselection. And now I'm just too old,and can t even walk on my own, so nah
1: an empty cardboard box; it's a toy for the cats
ReplyDelete2: vegetables
3: my mini paper telephone book
4: a 1960s phillies baseball pennant
5: nope, philly has hella multiple problems
1 most absurd thing is a little quail in a nest
ReplyDelete2 seafood!!!!!
3 since I'm currently naked, nothing is in my pockets.
4 the oldest thing hanging is a picture of my grandfather taken from a world fair.
5 oh what the hell. Drinks for everyone!!!!
Maddie, you're naked and nothing is in your "pocket"? Are you alone? Heh, heh. I'm in a weird mood today. I probably shouldn't inflict myself on anybody.
Delete1. A bin full of old VHS recordings.
ReplyDelete2. Brussels sprouts! More of a loathing, actually. Agree on the tapioca.
3. My purse is boring. My coat pocket may contain earrings I've taken off and can't remember where I put them. It's happened more than once.
4. A bone shaped plaque that says "The more people I meet, the more I love my dog." It was a gift from my granddaughters.
5. Nope! See answer #4. I'd really, really suck, and not in the good way!
1. Most absurd thing in this room? Probably my dead cat's ashes in a beautiful memorial box on top of my computer hutch.
ReplyDelete2. Food weirdness? I hate anything with coconut in it, except for coconut water and coconut rice.
3. Strangest thing in my purse? A tarot card from a tarot conference which I attended 10 years ago.
4. Oddest picture hanging in my home? A Victorian-era photo of a man dressed as Odin with his 2 ravens contained in a reproduction antler horn frame. If you want to see it, here's the link:https://shewhoseeks.blogspot.com/2017/05/alberta-gothic.html
5. Serve a term as mayor? Hell, no. Too much work. I'm retired now, thank you very much!
1: What is the most absurd thing in the room you are in? An antique tin donkey with a contraption on his back that holds cigarettes, and then a moveable tail that allows the smokes to be delivered via the donkey's butt!
ReplyDelete2: What food are you a bit weird about? Mushrooms--hate them, and cooked apples.
3: What is the strangest thing in your pocket, bag, purse, or murse? A little bag of saliva mints.
4: What is the oddest thing framed and hanging on the wall in your home? A picture of the little match girl floating over a city. I bought the print at a gallery in East Berlin in 1987.
5: Given the opportunity, would you serve a term as mayor of the place you live? Absolutely not!
1: What is the most absurd thing in the room you are in? Not an easy choice. Possibly the genuine faux gold king's crown with its genuine faux rubies and emeralds.
ReplyDelete2: What food are you a bit weird about? Pickled beets!!! I can't go near them. If they touch anything on my plate, the plate has to be cleaned.
3: What is the strangest thing in your pocket, bag, purse, or murse? Nothing strange really. Unless you think a poker chip from Las Vegas doesn't belong there.
4: What is the oddest thing framed and hanging on the wall in your home? Well, there is a small framed paper towel on which I did an etching in 1973.
5: Given the opportunity, would you serve a term as mayor of the place you live? Wow. What an interesting question. And my gut reaction was, "Sure!" THAT really surprised me.
1: the vacuum cleaner, which hasn't been used nor will it probably.
ReplyDelete2: raw seafood. I've studies biology; I know what happens.
3: I have no pants on at the moment.
