  1. Um, I'm in the bedroom at present and I'm afraid e everything is pretty straightforward.

    2. 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. 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.

  4. 1. A bin full of old VHS recordings.

    2. 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!

  5. 1. Most absurd thing in this room? Probably my dead cat's ashes in a beautiful memorial box on top of my computer hutch.

    2. 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!

  6. 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!
    2: 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!

  7. 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.
    2: 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.
