Tuesday 4
True Crime and Mystery.
Welcome to Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4 where we try to give you topics to discuss each week. Hopefully, it helps with your blogging, gives a bit of fun, and helps you meet new friends.
This week we are talking about true crime and mystery. I think this week's question might need some thinking cap time!
1. Was there a notorious crime in the news that caught your attention or interest? My whole family was interested in the assassination of President Kennedy and all the subsequent events with Lee Harvey Oswald, and Jack Ruby. Did you follow that case to its conclusion? I don't know if it has ever really concluded. If there was no solution, do you pay attention to the news about the case long after? Yes. (for instance the Lindbergh kidnapping case... Patty Hearst, etc., )
2. Does the mystery genre of literature and movies interest you? Does any book, series, or movie stand out for you? I enjoy mysteries. I've read a lot of good mysteries and seen lots of good movies. One of each just doesn't stick out for me at this moment.
3. Ever play Clue or any one of the new mystery games available? I played Clue years and years ago but just a few times. Do you enjoy solving mysteries or puzzles? Nope... not a game player (now and then but I would just as soon not) or a puzzle person. Thanks, but no thanks.
4. Some towns are known for mysteries that took place there. Do you have something like that in your town or state? I am sure there are things that have happened in Florida but none come to mind and I don't feel like Googling it right now. If not.. how about telling us about something that has always puzzled you! I am always puzzled by what has happened to our country.

British mysteries and thrillers are what I enjoy. Florida has a lot of "mysterious" places. When we were kids, we would scare each other over swamp gas (saying it was ghosts) and silly things like that. *giggle*
ReplyDeleteI hope your week if fun and easy.
Blessings. xx
What a great final answer. Every time I allow myself to ponder (that) I become more and more dismayed. Today's youth have no idea how great things used to be.
ReplyDeleteOffhand...didn't that boy that just killed his girlfriend on the trip across America live in Florida? Brian Laundrie the killer, right? I think he lived there with his parents. Crazy stuff. I am not sure of any PA mysteries but I am off to search! HUGS
ReplyDeleteYes, he was from further south. I thought about him but it wasn't much of a mystery. We pretty much knew he killed her and both just needed to be found. Very sad.
DeleteI live in that area…
DeleteI love your blog. Life is so so good...no matter our age. I love my life, despite the pain...love it love it...you make the most of each day...this is fantastic...you stress the good...you don't whine and complain...you know what to do and do it. I repeat this because you are a Cadillac among blogs. LOL I read the comment about today's youth...I have three granddaughters 22-16...two grandsons 9-7...they love life. Sure they are astonished that people won't mask and vaccinate to keep all of us safer...but they are moving on...accomplishing great things...and loving life...it is what we make it despite our surroundings. You are a PERFECT example of that...My eldest just moved to Brooklyn for a job with a publisher in NYC...one of our very very favorite cities...keep on keeping on...life is good. I tell the little ones that Covid will get better when people do as they are asked just as Polio did...they ask WHAT IS POLIO?
ReplyDeleteThe President Kennedy case is so interesting and no, they are hiding so much it will never really be let known what happened.
ReplyDeleteI do not know what has happened to the country either. The past couple of years have been so sad. Loved your answers. Have a nice week!

I like mysteries, especially as Sparky said, the British ones.
ReplyDeleteYour last question is spot on. I don't understand what happened to our country.
Great answers. Yes, you and I were right there as young teens when JFK was assassinated. It was the most terrible and mysterious thing that has happened in our lifetime I think, and I don't think we will EVER know the real story behind it. Maybe when we get to heaven we'll know. But like so many things in our nation, sadly, we are not always told the truth about things...only what they want us to think and know. And that is what is happening today. We are being fed lies constantly through the media, and there is an evil force trying to destroy our nation. But we the people...God's children, know that this world is not our final home, and we can live victorious above the doom and gloom because we have hope through Christ. I've read the 'end of the book', and I know how it will end...and we win! So I can face tomorrow with all its mysteries. Amen.
ReplyDeleteI would really like to know the truth about JFK, but I doubt we ever will.
ReplyDeleteThere is the mystery of the murder of Jon-Benet Ramsey from 1996 when I was living in Colorado. To my knowledge that has never been resolved.
ReplyDeleteGod knows. He'll take care of it.
Haha...yes our country is very puzzling!
