It's Hodgepodge (Hump Day) Wednesday!!

Thank you, Joyce, for another week of thought-provoking questions!  If you want to join in, pop over and give it a go:  http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com




1. What's something you're dealing with that might be described as tricky?  Dealing with volunteer Board members is always tricky.

2.  What's your treat of choice? 
When I was a kid, trick or treating, I loved getting popcorn balls, and one man in the neighborhood handed out nickels…you could get a whole bag full of penny candy, at the corner candy store, for a nickel way back then! We didn’t have to worry about tainted candy, razor blades, or something nasty in homemade goodies (like popcorn balls and candy apples). Today, at nearly age 62, my best treat is being able to sleep in – no alarm clock. You can have your chocolate and ice cream, or whatever. Just let me sleep!

3. Did you/will you carve a jack-o-lantern this month? Which real (living or dead) or fictional 'Jack' would you most like to meet in person? Why?
Nope. We don’t hand out candy anymore because all we get are kids who are too old to be trick or treating. I have a few decorations inside, but nothing outside. No pumpkins.  As for meeting a Jack in person….living, Jack Black because I think he is very funny; dead would be Jack Benny, who was also very funny,  plus I love that era and would have a zillion questions for him.

4.  In your opinion, what's the grossest sounding word in the English language?  
Vajajay  (A stupid word, and much more gross than just saying vagina.)

5. When did your heart last skip a beat? 
Every time Joe kisses me!   (Even after 30 years – 28 married.)

6. 
Monster Mash by Bobby 'Boris' Picket, Michael Jackson's Thriller, Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon, or Ray Parker Jr.'s Ghostbusters...your favorite 'scary' tune?  Monster Mash is fun, but Thriller really gets you going!

7.   It was a dark and stormy night when: 
I heard a knock, knock, knock on the back door.  Who could it be?  It was Johnny, from next door, selling candy for the soccer team. Whew!  His mom wouldn’t let him go any farther than our back porch on such a bad night. Chocolate makes any weather seem better! I bought two of those bars! (Not a true story!)

8.  Insert your own random thought here. 
I’m tired. Not so random, but that’s my thought.


Thanks for stopping by!! Wishing you a blessed day!!
Peace, love & hugs.

  1. I seriously must live under a HUGE rock...I've not heard of this vajayjay. It IS gross.

    Which reminds me the first time I've ever heard the term vacay!!! I was like what the heck is that? These younger generations keep us on our toes.

  5. Loved this. And I agree with number one!!!

    I forgot about popcorn balls... Those were great, and so see candy apples.

    Jack? Jack Nicholson. Yes, I know he's a bad boy, but he has that face that makes me laugh. I know a funny story a out him so remind me to tell you when I see you.

    And you a having storms? Normally we are when you are, but it is nice here. And gorgeous in the Panhandle. Mr. Magpie is driving home today, and said it as gorgeous in Appalachicola.

  6. Either my typing is getting worse, or this IPAD is.

  7. We dont get any kiddies for Halloween any more, so we just pull the curtains and lock the door and watch TV. I am familiar with the yukky word, and I guess when I went to Nursing School, I learned to use correct terminology...lol

  8. We get very few kids for Halloween, so I buy one bag of candy. No more pumpkin carving either - we just put the whole pumpkins on the porch.

  9. Vajayjay...LOL That made me laugh. :) We don't get many kiddies for Halloween anymore. Most of the others on our cul-de-sac don't participate so very few kids wander down our way.

  10. Getting enough sleep is always a treat. The time change always throws me off until I get used to it, so I feel tired too.

  11. This was fun to read. We have not had trick-or-treaters here at our place in many years. They all go to church parties, parking lots, malls or other places to trick-or-treat. I am still trying to believe that October is already coming to an end. Hugs

  12. I'm late again but I had to come by. It's always fun to read your answers on Wed.
    I agree with you on that stupid word. I hate hearing it.
    October is almost history already. Where did it go?
    Hope you're having a good day.
