[quote=rainroosty;50405108]~ What the heck is 'Chickarina'?

A nickname?
~ Did you ever eat a matzoh ball?

Not yet.
~ Do you think you could find your way to the South Pole and what would that map look like?

Hop on a plane and the map would be circular and white.
~ Where and from...have you taken any rides by train/rail?

Many. In the outback in Australia. It was 32 hours one way. To and from Chicago many times.
~ What kind of soup did you have this week?

Minestrone.
~ Are you okay with marinara being legal?

I wish!
~ Where can we find some 'orbs'?
I have pictures of some in my attic after a rather scary incident with the teenagers
~ Have you more than 1 device that you can get online with...in case one stops working...so that you can get here to Other Topics?

Yes but it's very difficult on my phone.


~ Have you ever entered a store/business and you noticed that someone who works there is watching you, as though you might be a shoplifter?

Not for a very long time.

~ Who here is a quiet person...on the overall?


~ An indoor event that you have been to, other than a concert or movie:

Roller skating this morning.

~ Today you can have whatever you want for free! It should be something to put in your home, usable or just for looks/fun!

What would you like?

There is this Chicago Mosaic antique lamp with a tree root base that I've been wanting for over a year. We made a reasonable offer on EBay that was rejected so they decided to raise the price. It's been for sale for over a year now.
~ Is it okay for Spring weather to arrive now?

NO!

~ A musical performance you would like to have seen but did not see:

When I was in high school I had a friend with connections and he offered me first row to Genesis. I didn't know much about them and turned it down.
**** We are all supposed to say 'Gee-Boy-Howdy' aloud today...but how many of us really will? I think I will.
See ya! ****

Nope I'm not saying that.



A little bird told me that it's Bay's birthday today. Lets wish her a Happy Happy and many more today.

~ What the heck is 'Chickarina'? Not a clue unless I look it up.


~ Did you ever eat a matzoh ball? Nope.


~ Do you think you could find your way to the South Pole and what would that map look like? I'm sure I could with a compass but would I? Nope.


~ Where and from...have you taken any rides by train/rail? I'm sure some of the public systems I have ridden on in the U.S. were on rails but I know for certain I rode a train along the coast to and from work every day in Chile in the 1980s. The train traveled between Vina del Mar and Valparaiso. While there I also took a train into the Andes from Valparaiso.


~ What kind of soup did you have this week? Chicken noodle.


~ Are you okay with marinara being legal? As long as it is regulated by the FDA and doesn't come from Mexico, I say go for it.


~ Where can we find some 'orbs'? In my living room.

~ Have you more than 1 device that you can get online with...in case one stops working...so that you can get here to Other Topics? Sure. I have two laptops, two desktops and one smart phone.

~ Have you ever entered a store/business and you noticed that someone who works there is watching you, as though you might be a shoplifter? I'm sure I have but not that I ever noticed.


~ Who here is a quiet person...on the overall? Somewhat.


~ An indoor event that you have been to, other than a concert or movie: I'm sure I have but the only times that come to mind were in New Orleans. Once I had to inspect some equipment at a shipping and industrial equipment show inside the Super Dome and once I had to construct and represent my government agency at a flower and garden show.


~ Today you can have whatever you want for free! It should be something to put in your home, usable or just for looks/fun!

What would you like? You may install new windows and more insulation at this farm house anytime you wish.

~ Is it okay for Spring weather to arrive now? I was ready at the end of summer this year.


~ A musical performance you would like to have seen but did not see: So many. I really regret not ever seeing BB King in a live performance. Others include Waylon Jennings, Buddy Holly, Merle Haggard, George Jones, . . .

~ What the heck is 'Chickarina'? Possibly a pet name for a hen.


~ Did you ever eat a matzoh ball? Yes, in soup. Delicious!


~ Do you think you could find your way to the South Pole and what would that map look like? Maybe if I took the Pan American Highway all the way to Tierra del Fuego, then a ship from there. Map would be unremarkable.


~ Where and from...have you taken any rides by train/rail? When I was a kid visiting my relatives in the Philippines, we took the train from my mom's hometown to my dad's hometown, a distance of about 30 miles. Over here, took the Amtrak from Santa Ana to Del Mar, then back again.


~ What kind of soup did you have this week? Right now, I'm having chicken noodle soup with 2 eggs and broccoli florets mixed in.


~ Are you okay with marinara being legal? I thought it was already legal. I have it in my spaghetti.


~ Where can we find some 'orbs'? In the heavenly skies.


~ Have you more than 1 device that you can get online with...in case one stops working...so that you can get here to Other Topics? I have access to more than one computer here. I could also connect with my smartphone but I don't have Wifi.


~ Have you ever entered a store/business and you noticed that someone who works there is watching you, as though you might be a shoplifter? I never paid attention.


~ Who here is a quiet person...on the overall? I can be quiet very easily.


~ An indoor event that you have been to, other than a concert or movie: Musicals and plays where my nieces perform at their community theater.


~ Today you can have whatever you want for free! It should be something to put in your home, usable or just for looks/fun!


What would you like? A maintenance-free saltwater tropical fish aquarium.


~ Is it okay for Spring weather to arrive now? If it's cooler than the weather we've had this past week, bring it on.


~ A musical performance you would like to have seen but did not see: Carmen or Phantom of the Opera.

TGIF!!!
