1. Something that's had you 'chuffed to bits' recently?
Feeling like myself after years
wandering around in a fog, shaking so much doing stuff was next to impossible.
2. Tell us about an instance recently where you were tempted
to 'throw a wobbly' (expression used to describe tantrums thrown, usually by
adults or people who should know better)
When Tim was being an
unreasonable, judgemental sod.
3. Something everyone seems to love but is not your 'cuppa
tea'?
Most new TV shows, pick one any
one and I bet I wouldn’t have seen it
4. Fish and chips, bangers and mash, shepherd's pie, roast
beef with Yorkshire pudding...which entree would you choose? Yes, you have to
choose.
Bangers and mash although we
would call it snags and mash, call it what you will it is a good dish
5. Something you want for your birthday this year?
A small train tattoo been
wanting one since 2019
6. Insert your own random thought here.
Respect is a two-way street,
that far too many mistake for a one-way street, my husband at times says our
grandchildren don’t respect him but he has a habit of speaking in a disrespect
tone himself, saying that one will go to hell, granted he only did that once
while drunk, but it is something that the child cannot get over and doesn’t
understand that. Saying he supports them but in the same sentence saying they
are wrong and going against God. I am sorry but such behaviour doesn’t scream
respect. Yes we should our elders but if they are not showing us respect, why
should they receive it.
I'm the same way about tv shows - I rarely watch any tv so I really don't know what's going on in that realm. I'm sorry there's a disrespect problem brewing; hopefully he sees that disconnect and models respect better starting soon! Have agreat week!
ReplyDeleteNice to know I am not the only one who thinks the stuff on TV is useless dribble. Tim doesn't even realise what the problem is
DeleteDearest Jo-Anne,
ReplyDeleteWell, just yesterday while walking on the back of the home I was 'chuffed to bits' when I saw that some tiles and concrete where pot plants used to stand, had been pushed up and broken. Then on the inside the wall is also showing some nasty blisters. What did happen there?! Can't be a big tree root as that tree is down for two years. But my guess is that it has to do with that... Nasty things for having to sort out and for having repaired!
With TV shows and such I'm with you as I just don't care and don't want to waste my time.
Don't know what bangers and mash are... But I would say, none of that is good for me right now.
Nothing particular I want for my Birthday next year...
Still treasure the Chanel earrings that Pieter gifted me in 2023... final gift from him before accident as it was almost two weeks prior to my Birthday.
Respect indeed has to come from both sides and has to be earned—not demanded.
Hugs,
Mariette
Bangers and mash, is sausages and mash potato
ReplyDeleteI am sure the Channel earrings are special
Yes respect is a two way street
Learned something! https://mariettesbacktobasics.blogspot.com/2023/02/and-another-birthday-with-pearls.html
DeleteWe haven't seen a lot of shows referenced in popular culture but I'm fine with that. We watch more movies than TV, and find we often give up on television programming a couple of episodes in. Respect goes both ways for sure, but children need to see it modeled for them. I hope things improve. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteFar too many tv show drag on and on, sometime I can manage a season or two but that's all.
DeleteI'm glad you are feeling more like yourself. I haven't tried bangers and mash
ReplyDeleteI love these questions and answers. It's the first time I have visited your Random stuff blog. Some of the items are not in my vocabulary. I guess it is a matter of oceans between us, but they sure sound interesting. Ah, just had my question answered in the blog comments about bangers and mash. I think I am going to have to make these and surprise my husband with the name.
