Hi everyone, here is
the latest hodgepodge
http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-665.html
1. What's something on your August calendar you're looking
forward to? Or dreading if that's easier to answer.
Let me think………………..
Can’t think of damn thing
2. August 5th is National Oyster Day...do you partake? How
do you feel about pearls?
I don’t like seafood
Pearls are nice but I don’t own
any
3. Tell us about a time when you felt like 'the world was
your oyster'.
I don’t think I have ever used the
word
4. Trip
Advisor lists seven islands in the US that require no passport (for US
citizens). If you're answering today from outside the US you'll still need to
produce yours. An-y-way, have you been to any of the seven?
Let's pretend you get an all expense paid trip to one this month...which one do
you choose and why?
Catalina Island California~Martha's Vineyard
Massachusetts~Mackinac Island Michigan~Key West Florida~South Padre Island
Texas~or Kauai Hawaii
If I was a US citizen I would go
to Hawaii
5. Sylvia Plath is credited with the following-
"August rain: the best of the summer gone, and the
new fall not yet born. The odd uneven time."
Agree or disagree? In other words, how do you feel about
this month?
August is our windy month, and I
do not like strong winds
6. Insert your own random thought here.
In order to love yourself you need to stop
waiting for a version of you that is supposed to be ‘finished’ before you
decide you are worthy of care. It involves learning to sit with your own
silence without the urge to fix it, trusting that your worth is a constant
pulse beneath your skin, entirely independent of your productivity, your
mistakes, or the approval of those who have yet to see your light.

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions
from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work
hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of
us thieves!
This week's meme was
stolen from blogging mom Blue Milk. Back in 2008, she stole it from an
invitation-only meme. It was originally a very loooong meme, with more than 100
questions in all. Too much for me! So, it's been pared back to 35. If that
still seems daunting, remember all you have to do is bold the ones you've done.
If you'd like to elaborate, feel free.
