Good morning all and I am sorry for the late start. Things have been slipping my mind lately. I must be getting old
I hope all of our friends on the Texas coast are doing OK this morning.
Today’s Questions:
When was the last time you tried something new?
couple of weeks ago-new recipe, which I almost followed.
What was it and how did you like it?
it was pretty good. If/when I make it again, I'll use less butter.
Have you ever adopted a pet?
sure. all my critters were adopted. except the hamsters I had years ago.
Have you volunteered for anything lately?
not really. should but too lazy.
Extra Credit Questions:
Would you rather be completely insane and know that you are insane or completely insane and believe you are sane?
If I believe I'm sane, I must be. It's every one else who are crazy. Honest!
Would you rather know all the mysteries of the universe or know every outcome of every choice you make?
I don't think I could handle all that knowledge. Just let me know the next winning powerball number and let the other mysteries remain mysteries.
Would you rather be the life of the party and the funniest person your friends know but suffer from depression or be happy and content but people think you are boring and unfunny?
happy and content. Nothing wrong with being boring and unfunny.
Would you rather eat your favorite meal for every meal for the rest of your life or never be able to eat your favorite meal again?
Actually closer to never being able to eat my favorite meal again. That's ok-I'll just get a new favorite meal. So much food, so little time.
Would you rather own your own boat or your own island?
tough decision but I'll go with the boat.
Would you rather spend one year sailing around the world or one year living in your foreign favorite country?
a year living in my favorite foreign country.
Would you rather take a trip down the Amazon River or walk the Great Wall of China?
too many bugs in the Amazon so it'd have to be the Great Wall. wait-how tall is that wall?

vegan. closing in on that anyway.
