Hodgepodge Here and There

 

Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/08/hodgepodge-questions-volume-675.html

1. Do you think you're driven more by curiosity or comfort? Explain. 

My first thought was I’m driven by car………lol

But of course, that’s not what you meant so the other answer would be a mix of both.

2. What non-food item is in your refrigerator or freezer? 

Ice packs, Tim uses them when he packs his lunch

3. Are you comfortable with silence? If you're home alone, do you like silence or do you need regular background noise? Do you seek out times and places to be silent? What's your favorite place to find silence/be silent? 

I am generally comfortable with silence and often sit in silence first thing in the morning.

4. Carpentry, electrical, plumbing, landscaping...which skill would you most like to possess and how would you put that skill to use today?

I really can’t decide manly because none of those appeal to me in any way.

5. Do you lean more towards being too needy or too independent? Which do you find harder to deal with in others? 

I feel that I come across too needy due to having Parkinson’s maybe this is because I find needly people annoying.

6.  Insert your own random thought here. 

True strength isn't found in never falling, but in getting up every time we do. Every time you fall, you become stronger, wiser, and closer to your goals.
