Hello, let's relax and have some fun with . . .

Today's Question(s):
The TV series Survivor Game Changers ended Wednesday evening.
Have you been following the show Survivor this or any season?

Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV
game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not?

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win?


Bonus:
A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching
re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on
something, after not liking it before, and if so what?


Foodie Questions:
Part way through Wednesday I noticed everything I'd eaten so far had a name that began
with the same letter. So just for fun if you could only eat foods beginning with
the letter B for one day, what would you have for:
-Breakfast?
-Lunch?
-Dinner?
-Snacks?
-Drinks?


Just for more fun:
Whether people you knew closely spoke them or not, what languages did you hear spoken as a kid?

Today's Question(s):
The TV series Survivor Game Changers ended Wednesday evening.
Have you been following the show Survivor this or any season?
I watched some episodes of the first three seasons but then lost interest.
Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV
game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not?
No, thank you. I don't have the stamina for it, and I don't need the money.
Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win?
Umm...err...maybe a cookie baking contest? Or a spelling contest?

Bonus:
A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching
re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on
something, after not liking it before, and if so what?
I didn't care much for Wagner's Ring Cycle, but after seeing a really first-rate production on PBS conducted by James Levine, I developed an appreciation for it.

Foodie Questions:
Part way through Wednesday I noticed everything I'd eaten so far had a name that began

-Lunch?
Blueberry yogurt
-Dinner?
Burger
-Snacks?
Berries
-Drinks?
Barbera


Just for more fun:
Whether people you knew closely spoke them or not, what languages did you hear spoken as a kid?
In 7th grade my homeroom teacher, a Dutch immigrant, dazzled me by speaking to us in four different languages. I believe the languages were Dutch, French, German and Spanish.

Yes I am a big Survivor fan

Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV

Two reasons # 1 I am way to old for that, #2 Knowing that you must lie and back stab in order to win I would not socialize which would put me out early.

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win? None that I know of

Complete oposite here. I see shows I used to love like I love Lucy and All in the Family and think they are stupid now

As a kid I do not remember hearing anything but English

Not a fan of the show. Would rather watch the drying paint show.

game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not?
Give me the million dollars upfront and I will make a token appearance to get voted off the island first.

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win?
I had better pass on this as I am sure no matter what I came up with there would be a contestant so annoying that I would probably get arrested for homicide.


Bonus:

That would be American Dad. Did not like it at first but now I find it funny

I don't watch it, and haven't in years...I watched it the first year or two some.

Would you dare go to a tropical island to play a reality TV
game show with a million dollar prize, and why or why not?

I am a private person, and sort of introverted...so no.

Okay, what contest would you enter for a mil that you think you could win?
Publishers Clearing House

Bonus:
A few months ago I mentioned not liking a TV series - Mike and Molly - but I started watching
re-runs and have been enjoying the show. Have you done a complete turn around on
something, after not liking it before, and if so what?

I really don't watch a lot of television. I have liked a couple of shows in the past, then lost
interest in them after they were on for a long time. As an adult I have watched some of the
shows that I liked as a child and find them silly now.



Foodie Questions:
Part way through Wednesday I noticed everything I'd eaten so far had a name that began
with the same letter. So just for fun if you could only eat foods beginning with
the letter B for one day, what would you have for:
-Breakfast? Breakfast blend coffee...I don't do food for breakfast just coffee.
-Lunch? BLT
-Dinner? Burger
-Snacks? Bananas
-Drinks? Beer


Just for more fun:
Whether people you knew closely spoke them or not, what languages did you hear spoken as a kid?

Spanish - I lived for awhile as a child in Miami Florida -and about half the population then didn't speak English, they spoke Spanish.
German - My Paternal Grandmother was from Germany and occasionally she would speak it.
