Back to the Future Hodgepodge!!

Joyce gives us the great questions and we give the answers.  Link up on her page to share the fun!  Thank you, Joyce!!

Here are the questions to this week's Wednesday Hodgepodge. Answer on your own blog, then hop back here (on Wednesday) and add your link to the random. Here ya go-

1. October 21, 2015 is Back to the Future Day.  Did you see the movie?  Yes.  The sequels? Yes. Love them, actually. Great fun!  In the second film, Doc takes Marty into the future to prevent Marty's future son from making a mistake. They leave 1985 and land on a 'skyway' on October 21st, 2015. So tell us, what were you doing in the fall of 1985?  Joe and I got married in May of 1985 and that Fall, I fell and broke my wrist in 7 places. I cooked our first Thanksgiving dinner, as husband and wife (we also had guests - there were 10 of us, I think), with a cast on my left arm.  I think it was off by Christmas.

2.  If time travel were possible, would you want to go to the future? No. The past? Yes, I think it would be great to be able to go back in time and if not meet my ancestors, to at least observe them.  I don't want to know what's coming, but I would enjoy the history.

3. We're not flying cars, but some of the technology imagined in the 80's film has indeed come to pass in real life 2015-flat screen TVs on the wall, tablets, fingerprint recognition, video conferencing, online banking, 3-D movies, motion-controlled video games, drone cameras, and smart glasses (Google glass).  Do you worry technology is growing at a rate so fast we'll soon be unable to keep up with it's demands? I may not be able to keep up, but the kids growing up with all the technology won't have any trouble.  Do you think the Internet does more harm than good?  I think it's like anything...too much is never good for you. Moderation. Be sensible.

4. Your favorite dish prepared in a slow-cooker?  Pot roast with onions, potatoes, and carrots.  Your favorite fast food?  We like Wendy's spicy chicken and the chili. We also enjoy Chick-fil-a and Zaxby's chicken.  I had a Zaxby's grilled chicken Ceasar salad last night that was quite satisfying.

5. No time like the present, down time, face time, pressed for time, in the nick of time, make time, mark time, or just in time...which timely saying most relates to your life right now?  On Monday, I was pressed for time.  Today there is no time like the present.

6. Tell us about a place you went as a child or younger person that's no longer there or is now something else.  The Buckeye Lake Amusement Park is no longer there. How does that make you feel?  Kind of sad.  We had great times there when I was a kid, and that is where I learned to swim and qualified as a Life Guard. The pool there was HUGE.  There was a great roller coaster.  Those little mom & pop amusements went the way of family farms and general stores. It's all kind of sad to me. (Photos from  the internet & link above.)

 I think the Miss Ohio pageant was held there and that is what we see in the photo of the pool, above.

7. Describe your comfort zone.  I'm pretty comfortable in my own skin.  I'm out of my comfort zone in a crowd of people I don't know, having to speak in front of a crowd of people I don't know, and trying to make small talk with people I don't know.  Everything else...bring it on (I'm sure some exceptions will surface!!).


8. Insert your own random thought here.  I said in yesterday's post that I was going to start trying to drink a cup of warm lemon water each morning, at Michelle's urging (Grammie Time).  I did it yesterday and today, but since I'm really not "into" lemon, this will take awhile.  I am getting my 60 ounces of water down during the day.  I must continue to hydrate better than I have been.  Do you drink enough water?
