Hi everyone, here is
the latest hodgepodge
I saw a meme on
Instagram that went like this-'The movie Dirty Dancing came out in 1987 and
was set in 1963, so if remade in 2026 it would be set in 2002. Now I need a
little lie down in a dark room for a while."
Time is crazy, isn't
it? So what were you up to in the year 2002?
Damn I
can’t remember what I was doing back in 2002
2. "Me?
I'm scared of everything..." What's something that scares you
that you'd like to try anyway?
I am
scared of many things but there is not one thing I can think of that I would
like to try even if it scares me

4. August 12th is
National Middle Child Day. Are you a middle child? If not, where do you fall in
the birth order in your family of origin? Do you think this has influenced your

Nope I
am the eldest child and yes being the eldest has made me more responsible and
organised then my siblings.

talk to everyone at a crowded party for a short time, or have a significant
conversation with two people? Explain.
I
would rather sit and watch people speaking only to those who sit near me and
speak to me

random thought here.
Do you
like soft things?
I do,
things like plushies, fluffy blankets, a fleecy jacket and soft warm slippers.

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.

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.
