A slow hodgepodge

 


Hi everyone, here is the latest hodgepodge

http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2026/02/hodgepodge-questions-volume-658.html

1 June 17th, 1994 was the day of the infamous O.J. Simpson car chase. What were you doing in 1994? I'm guessing somebody is going to tell me they weren't born yet but that's part of the fun of the Hodgepodge. Lots of generations are represented here. 

What was I doing back in 1994, I have no idea, nothing special I was just mum looking after 3 daughters, I do remember seeing the car chase on the telly.

2. What's your favorite summer salad that isn't the traditional tossed green lettuce kind of salad? Do you like fresh fruit in a salad (other than in a fruit salad of course)?

I am not a fan of salads, but I do really like fruit salad

3. Is chivalry dead? Should it be? 

No not dead but dying, should it be I don’t think so

4. Would you rather spend a week of your summer vacation in Hawaii or Alaska? Have you ever been to either? Are they two places you really would like to see? How do you feel about 'Hawaiian pizza' aka pineapple on a pizza? Have you ever eaten Baked Alaska? 

I have been to Hawaii and I would like to go to Alaska but doubt I will ever get there, I love pineapple on my pizza, I think it is strange not liking it.

5. World Cup play is happening now...are you interested? Watching any matches? Did you or your children play soccer/futbol? There are eleven US cities hosting matches-

-Atlanta, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, New York with the stadium in NJ, Philadelphia, San Francisco, and Seattle along with  three cities in Mexico (Guadalajara, Mexico City and Monterrey) and two in Canada (Toronto and Vancouver)-

You get free tickets to one of these matches. Which city do you choose? Tell us why. 

Nope not interested

I would choose going to Canada

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

Try to embrace the stillness in the morning, before the day starts and the world is holding its breath, slowly the light drifts in and the day starts.

  2. Early morning is my favorite part of the day. I am usually up before the sun and love watching it rise. I think people who sleep til noon miss the best part of the day : )

  3. 1- I know we weren't watching, so probably at Lorties Bar in downtown Zulu; 2- I only eat side salads, with ranch; 3- Not yet, but it sure needs reviving; 4- Hawaii, and see if you could drag me back home! 5- only to the point of making dime bets on draft Kings, and I'll meet you in Canada.

  4. In 1994 I was getting my sons through university, helping them start their careers and being very interested in their long term girlfriends.

  5. I prefer fruit salad to green salads as well, and think it's odd that people don't like pineapple on pizza. I love it.
    I'm not really a morning person but I do enjoy having some quiet time to myself to start my day, even if it's just a short time.
    Hope you're having a great week!

  6. Yes, fruit salad is good. We have been buying some recently at the store. I haven't been to Alaska or Hawaii. Honestly I don't think I ever tried that pizza. We are from Chicago and love sausage and pepperoni. We have been watching golf. I hope that Adam has put it on for James who really likes soccer. I like your random thought.
