Sunday stealing

1. Do you prefer writing with black or blue pen?

 Never really gave it much thought...I guess I prefer black.

2. Do you prefer living in the country or the city?

 Hmmm...how about both?  Small apartment in the city, weekend country home....

3. How do you drink your tea or coffee?

 Coffee -- milk or half and half
Tea -- nothing added, except maybe some honey occasionally

4. Do you prefer bath or shower?

 Shower

5. Do you prefer reading paper or electronic books?

 I own a Kindle and a nook, and I've downloaded Kindle, nook and Libby  to the iPad....you figure it out...

6. Would you ever want to be famous?

 I used to dream about being famous, but...honestly, it sounds like a royal pain.

7. Are you a restless sleeper?

 Yes.  I move around a lot.

8. What is the strangest thing you have ever eaten?

 Hmmm...I do like food a lot of different types of food...So what I consider normal might be strange to someone else...How about Banh Mi?  It's a Vietnamese sandwich.  The filling could be something like lemongrass chicken or beef satay with peanut sauce, very Asian, but served on a French baguette.  Makes sense when you know the history of the country, but ...weird...

9. Do you like cereal crunchy or soggy?

 Crunchy.  Sometimes I skip the milk and eat the cereal dry.

10. Do you like ice in your drinks?

 Funny you should ask.  When we go to a restaurant or fast food place, Drew always orders his soda without ice, and I always order mine with ice.

11. Do you prefer swimming in pools or the ocean?

 My parents installed a pool in our back yard, so that's what I'm most used to.  But I love the beach.

12. What can you hear right now?

 The ticking of the clock  on the wall -- it's very quiet in the house today.

13. Where do you feel the safest?

 In my bed.

14. What would you like your legacy to be?

 My daughters. I hope I've raised them to be strong, independent women who are also empathetic and compassionate.

15. Do you like spicy food?

 If it's moderately spicy I'm good...but very spicy, not so much.

    I had Banh Mi in Vietnam last year in Ho CHi Minh city in a street food restaurant. It was lovely.

    :o)

    If I'd had children, that would have been my answer.

      You are so creative. But you do what you need to do for official paperwork

    When I was a kid, I hated ice in my drink. Now, it's a must.

    I see that you wish to visit Vietnam. Do you follow http://doesntspeakklingon.blogspot.com/ or http://transformednonconformist.blogspot.com/ ? Married couple living in Vietnam for the last couple years.

    I like to have ice...but not so much ice that there is no drink...so my friend and I order with light ice and they just put in about half of what they normally would. It works. Loved your answers! Have a nice week!

    Banh Mi sounds delicious. I don't know that I have ever had it.

      I used to go to a Vietnamese restaurant with coworkers. We'd order spring rolls and pho (a noodle soup), and get Bahn Mi to go for another meal.

It’s all coming back to me now

 So you should know that I am not a “shopper”.  I live in shopping mall heaven — I’m ten minutes from the Broadway Mall,  15 from Roosevelt Field and 25 from Whitman Shoppes — but I seldom go to the mall.  I prefer to shop on line.  And when I do venture into a store, I usually know what I want and buy it as quickly as possible.  I’m not one to browse through stores just to see what’s for sale. There’s a local chain,  Baked By Melissa , that specializes in mini cupcakes.  They’re primarily in Manhattan.  A few years ago Becca introduced me to their product - delicate little cakes, exquisitely decorated, very tasty.  I walk past their shop on 7th Avenue whenever we go to the theater. Well, last week I remembered that they used to have a second shop on 7th, right next to the original shop, but selling gluten-free versions of all their cupcakes. The gluten-free shop closed, but the company continues to make a gluten-free version of their product. So I thought that gluten-free cupcakes wou

DISboards nonsense

found a new blog today. Love it. http://secret-squirrel.webs.com/index.htm I've posted there under various names over the last 10 years or so. it went from a sweet little board that was Pete Werner's hobby to ....well, a real nightmare. that a board devoted to all things Disney can be such a nasty, racist, childish (not childlike) place.... loving the inside scoop, though. Did I ever tell you how "songbird" was banned from the DIS? I was a poster in good standing for 3-4 years. Even booked my trips through Dreams Unlimited, back when Pete was careful to distinguish between the disboards as a hobby and Dreams as his business. Pete and Webmaster Alex were struggling with server issues, the disboards would go down more often than they'd stay up. then Pete announced cosmetic changes to wdwinfo.com, which feeds into the disbaords forum. Like all other members of the forum, I was frustrated. so I was a bit sarcastic. I posted something to the effect of "would yo

Music Monday

Another “your choice” week. How about new music from icons of the 60’s and 70’s? Let’s start with Jimmy Buffett’s posthumous hit, “Bubbles Up”. The Rolling Stones released a new song in 2023, it’s called “Angry”. The surviving Beatles (with some  help from AI) released “Now and Then”. And then Billy Joel …    The AI effects in the video blew me away… A note about the AI effects … the Beatles used it to isolate John’s vocals on an old demo.  Billy Joel had a young man play the piano then superimposed his own face onto the image of the younger man.
