Hodgepodge

 

Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-654.html

What do you make more complicated than it needs to be? 

I can’t think of anything but there must be something

What impresses you? 

Not a lot, to be honest, I guess that my granddaughter Sydney is 16 works two jobs while going to school and has saved a nice some of money for a car.

On a scale of 1-10 how picky of an eater are you?  (1=extremely and 10=not at all) If you had to eat a meal made entirely of one colour what colour would you choose? 

I am a one and have always been one

Brown because when you cook roast potatoes or chips also chocolate is brown.

What does balance in life mean to you? Does your life currently feel 'balanced'? 

Balanced? Well, I guess it would be when there is nothing stressful going on in the family and I don’t feel like I am being pulled apart. Yes, my life is in balance

If you could travel the world for a year what would be your first destination? 

This is easy Uluru, this a place I have always wanted to visit

Insert your own random thought here. 

What is happiness?

Do you feel happy? I do feel happy

I feel happiness isn’t acting cheerful and laughing at nothing, it is more like having inner peace and not spending much time around people who drag you down and give you a headache.

 

Sharing my world

 

Hi everyone I am taking part in sharing my world again here are this week’s questions and answers, which I found here: https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2026/05/04/sharing-my-world-18th-may/

 

 Here are this week’s questions:

 

Do you celebrate anniversaries for family members?

Nope

Do you prefer to receive a card for your special day or a social media message?

A card is more personal, but a text or social media message is better than nothing.

Do you think the cost of greetings cards are value for money?

Some cost way too much I don’t like to pay more than $3, I have got some really nice cards from Temu for less $2.

Do you look forward to mail deliveries on a day to day basis, not just a celebration.

Yes, I do our mail is delivered every second day.

Sunday Stealing

 

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 our inspiration is Life of a Fool. This blogger maintains this meme has "been seen everywhere." The questions only require a simple, definitive answer, but if you'd like to elaborate, we'd like to hear what you have to say.

 

Which one?

 

1. Pepsi or Coke? 

I prefer Coke to Pepsi but I don’t mind Pepsi Max. As a child my mum remembers the doctor telling her to give my flat lemonade when sick and mum said can it be Coke she won’t drink lemonade.

 

 

 

 

2. Cappuccino or coffee?  Neither I prefer a hot chocolate

 

3. Chocolate or vanilla?  Both with Milo over the top

 

4. Hot tea or iced tea?  Neither

Hodgepodge on a wet day

 

Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-653.html

 

1. What's one piece of advice you would you give a recent or soon-to-be graduate? 

Just take things as they come and remember to laugh and enjoy yourself

2. May 15th marks the birth date of L. Frank Baum, author of The Wonderful Wizard of Oz. At this point in time are you more in need of brains, courage, heart, or a trip back home? Explain. 

Often I feel like my brain is dying and needs to be rebooted

3.  "There's no place like home" is an oft repeated line from Baum's book. When was the last time you felt the truth of that statement? 

Returning home from the cruise

4. May is National BBQ Month...do you own a grill? Who does the grilling at your house? What's your favorite thing to throw on the grill? What's the last thing you grilled? 

Nope, use to when the girls were young

5. What's a memory you replay in your head when you need a little joy? 

My grandson Blain running into my arms screaming “my nana” over and over he was 2

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

A quote by someone unknown just not me but I agree with it

“Stop treating your own heart like a house you’re only visiting. Move in, hang the lace curtains, and light the candles just because the glow makes you feel lovely. You don’t need a reason to buy yourself the silk, brew the rose tea, or speak to your reflection with the tenderness of a best friend. You are the garden, the gardener, and the bloom all at once. Stop asking for permission to be soft with yourself and start living like the girl who finally realized her own company is the most exquisite luxury she’ll ever own.”

 ,

Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

Insert your own random thought here. 

Remember there are many types of medicine not just the pills a doctor gives you, such as laughter, rest and reading. Some may also find work to be medicine as it gets them moving and doing something and at times that is what is needed. Often just going for a walk can be a type of medicine. Whatever type of medicine you need take.
