Joyce is off this week so I jumped back to 2013 and found an old Hodgepodge - back when there were eight questions instead of six!! I didn't change anything...

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.

Good answers and fun going back in time. You are good at this...Have a blessed and wonderful rest of your week.
ReplyDeleteHow fun to read your answers from so long ago!
ReplyDeleteThis was fun seeing your answers from back then. I love watching the Thriller video.
ReplyDeleteHalloween 'back when' was such fun. Today's kiddos will never know the thrill of getting a homemade popcorn ball or an honest-to-goodness coin.
ReplyDeleteGreat re-run, Terri!
I shouldn't be reading this at my desk in the office because I'm cracking up over the Vajayjay (or however you spell it) answer!! I haven't heard that word in a while.
ReplyDeleteSo did most of your answers stay the same for this year? I forgot it was from 2013 and I thought you were just 62 - a baby. I love the colors of Halloween and fall.
ReplyDeleteI loved going back in time with you, Terri. It is so sad that times haven't changed for the better when it comes to trick-or-treat. Have you heard that the fentynal pushes are making pills to look like official candy, wrappers and all? It's just not safe to go around willy-nilly. I hope Sarah and John will take the girls to a trunk-or-treat at a local church this year; we used to do that with Virginia.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Your answers are still good!
ReplyDeleteI agree on the treat of sleeping in. Another treat is a day off without having to go anywhere. That's a rare occurrence!
