Hi! I'm your host Bev Sykes of the blog "Funny the World". . Welcome to Sunday Stealing. This feature originated and published on WTIT: The Blog.

Cheers to all of us thieves!

1. When do you feel the world will stop?

I don't think I want to know the answer to that one...


2. What is your personal motto?

Let it go.


And by that I mean "don't sweat the small stuff".


3. What is the greatest gift you ever received?

Life itself.


4. Who is a leader who inspires you?

Ruth Bader Ginsberg.  




5. What irrationally annoys you more than anything else?

I'm a terrible passenger, if I'm not driving I am gritting my teeth...

6. What small thing can always bring you a bit of joy?


Miss Duchess Cat.


7. What is your favorite thing to do on a lazy day? 

My iPad has all my favorite distractions.  I can sit around all day with the IPad and keep myself amused.

8. How often do you take risks?

I'm really not much of a risk taker.


9. Write about your happiest memories. 

Lots of happy memories, I will just share one.  This is a picture of my daughters when they were little.




10. How long do you think it will be before we see a female president?

I think Kamala Harris will become President by succeeding Joe Biden (hopefully after he's served two full terms), so sometime between now and 2028.


11. Do you think it’s important to be part of a community?  Why? Why not?

Yes, it's important to be part of a community. In good times and in bad times, your community is there for you.

I will never forget when there was a shooting at the Tree of Life Synagogue in Pittsburgh. October 2018.  I felt so scared and so alone.  But then we gathered in my synagogue, 2,000 of us, a vigil sponsored by all the local synagogues.  We came together to pray, to memorialize the victims, to reaffirm our commitment to each other.  And I was no longer afraid.


12. What piece of modern technology are you most grateful to have.

LOL, as if you hadn't guessed ...my iPad...


13. Do you feel anonymous on line?

No.  It's too easy to find out who people really are, so even if you don't use your real name you are not anonymous.


14. What is something you’ve always wanted to try but have never gotten around to.


Hmmm....what's on the bucket list?  I think it has something to do with travel.  I'd like to go to Israel.


15. What would life be like without the internet?

Like it was before the internet, only we'd feel the lack.

    thanks for reminding me of RBG! yes, so inspirational. I was telling dh the other day, after listening to a smart female congress critter that strong women are still expected by stupid men to be soft, and quiet and complacent instead of honest and hard hitting. grr.

    RBG is a great choice. I think we'd get used to the lack of the Internet. Maybe the Internet without Facebook and Twitter?

    Just looking at Miss Duchess Cat made me smile. I have a cat beside me every time I begin to use my laptop. I can't imagine getting through quarantine and work-from-home without them.

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

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.

Ultimate Blog Party!!!!

thanks to suzanne , I decided to join the party. I got into blogging last year because of Suzanne. I've known her on message boards for awhile, but I've gotten to know her much better since entering the blogosphere. I've also met several others whose blogs I am starting to love, and look forward to meeting even more bloggers now that I've joined the party. So I guess that means I have to introduce myself. I am a single mom from Long Island. My older daughter, Jen, is a college freshman, going to school in New England. Younger daughter, Becca, is a high school junior. I am also an attorney with an insurance company, with offices in Jersey City, NJ, a really "wonderful" commute. I sit on the board of trustees at my synagogue (which means I do a lot of volunteer work there!), and I am active in various fundraisers for the American Cancer Society, currently planning for this year's Relay for Life. I like ot take photos, so you'll see many of them in
