Am I a nerd

 

I recently did this nerd test and thought I would share the results.

You are tied between Goth and Prep, 41.8% Nerd, placing you in the True Nerd category.

True Nerds are highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic about particular academic or technical subjects. Nerds are sometimes seen as being more interested in academics, technology, or other "nerdy" pursuits than in popular culture or mainstream social activities. Nerds often spend a lot of time and energy pursuing their interests, to the point where others can regard them as a bit obsessed with their hobbies.

 

A No Joking Hodgepodge

 

No foolin'! April is here. What's one fun thing on your April calendar? 

April is the month that my parents died in mum on the 12 and dad on the 21, so not a happy month for me.

It's often said, 'A fool and his money are soon parted'...what's the last thing you wasted money on? 

Had to give this some thought but I can’t think of a single thing as I am careful with money.

April 2nd is National DIY day. Are you a do-it yourself kind of person or maybe you're married to one? If so, what's the last thing you DIY-ed. If you're not a DIY-er what's the most recent job you had to hire someone to complete? 

Nope I don’t do any DIY, I leave that to Tim.

Do you eat lamb? If so do you have a favourite dish that calls for lamb? 

Of course I eat lamb, lamb is popular in Australia, I love a lamb roast.

Do you fit a stereotype in some way? Explain.

No, I don’t think I am 

Insert your own random thought here. 

I know many may disagree, but I do not understand the point of April Fools Day, maybe it is because often the so-called jokes and pranks are not funny in my opinion. Some are degrading and embarrassing to object of the joke.

 

Tuesday's 4

 

 Oh well... Let's talk about Moms and Wives and other unpaid domestic servants.

Have you ever found yourself in the same position as this lady?  How did you feel about it?

Of course I have most women have, I was frustrated and somewhat pissed off

 Women do the cooking, the cleaning up and the organizing while the rest of the family reap the rewards of that. is it fair?  

Nope not fair but many women feel that if they want tasks done right (i.e. their way) then they have to do it themselves.

 Vacations at air b&bs or rental homes often mean Mom does all the work.  What kind of holiday or vacation would be most restful for you?

A cruise so the is no cooking or cleaning

 In Proverbs 31, the wife is married to a very prominent man in town.  She runs the house, has a cottage industry, owns vineyards on her own and buys and sells real estate.   

What kind of woman are you? Do you hold a job. do you do the housework. do you find rewards in service to others or do you find it can be wearing on you or perhaps a little bit of both.

I have never had a job my job was being a wife and mother and later grandmother, and I have always loved looking after others

What earthly rewards do you get out of the life you are living?

The usually things, nice food, nice clothes and a nice house

Getting to know me

 

Here are this week’s getting to know me questions and my answers.

How would you feel if I tried to talk to you before you’ve had your morning cup of coffee?

What’s your most repeated movie quote or phrase?

What’s the strangest nickname you’ve ever been given?

Here are my answers.

Well since I don’t drink coffee so, I would be fine, however, I may not be fine if I need to pee, and you want to chat.

Nothing comes to mind, nothing at all

I guess the closest thing would be when my sister use to call me “Donga” I don’t have a nickname.

               

Hodgepodge before I forget

Spring has officially sprung (in the northern hemisphere anyway) ...did she roll in more like a lion or more like a lamb in your neck of the woods? What needs more of your attention in terms of a good spring clean this year-your house or your garden/yard? 

Since I am in the southern hemisphere, I will cast my mind back to last spring, ok she was nothing like a lion or a lamb but more like a snowball rolling down a mountain getting bigger and bigger till it hit something hot and exploded into rain which was followed by heat.

What's put a spring in your step lately? 

This is easier ants on the ground, they will have me bouncing around like I have springs attached to my feet, oh not what you meant, sorry but that’s were my brain went.

When you were a kid, what was the best snack to find in your lunchbox? If you didn't do the lunchbox thing, tell us what was your favourite after school snack. 

Whether in my lunch box or atter school the answer is the same, a slice of mum’s homemade caramel slice.

In what area of your life are you planting seeds? 

Tim plants seeds in his garden to grow food stuff, me I plant seeds in the minds and hearts of my grandchildren to grow kindness, compassion and empathy.

Why do you live where you do? Would you consider living somewhere else? Why or why not? 

We moved here because this the place offered to us, we rent through the government, no I would not consider living anywhere else, I am happy here, been here 37yrs in May, also now have two of my daughters living in the same complex.

Insert your own random thought here. 

Remember when life is struggle and you feel like you are failing at everything you try to do, you need to stop clear your mind of those negative thoughts and remind yourself, that our failures can be a chance to learn something, or it can  mean you are worn out to the extent that you  are unable to function right and you  may need some time to try and step away from stressful stuff and allow your mind and body to rejuvenate.
