Funny Questions

 Level Four Lockdown: Day Sixty-Three

Mood:A touch grumpy

Trust the warm weather to make me grumpy. Probably more grumpy because the current restritions mean I can go and see a friend down the near the beach - all I have is the riverbank to walk along with the rest of Richmond residents. Ah well. At least there is a bit of green nearby. 

Today's Sunday questions, provided, as always, but Bev at Sunday Stealing.

1. If you could use a time machine to go back and fix one thing, or go fo the future to see what it is like, which would you do?

Part of me wished I could go back in time and give Donald Trump's father a vasectomy year before The Donald's birth. Migh mean things could be a bit different now. 

2. If all of a sudden there was a depression, or there were no stores to buy food, clothing etc, how would you manage?

Probably move to the country, grow my own food and rely on my wits. I'd be okay with that. I'd manage. I've managed before. I'm pretty resourceful. 

3. Are you concerned with what other people think about you?

Not really. I think that is a by-product of getting older. Besides, I'm a middle aged woman - I'm basically invisible anyway. 

4. How do you handle people you don't like?

I tend to give them a wide berth and I'm civil when faced by them I'm appropriately civil, but that is about it. No point stressing over it. 

5. What do you think of garden gnomes?

I like them to give as presents - have done that many times before. But I'm grateful I don't own one - besides, I don't have a garden. 

6. You’ve been given an elephant. You can’t give it away or sell it. What would you do with the elephant?

I'd take the elephant to Thailand to one of the elephant reserves and go live with it there. It could have a happy life and I'd be quite happy living in Thailand. 

7. How would you design a spice rack for the blind?

That's easy - place a flip top lid on it with the spice inscribed in braille on the top, but the flip top lid would allow the person to smell the spice before using it. 

8. How lucky are you and why?

I think you make your own luck - and I'm very lucky in some ways - I'm fit, healthy and I live in a country with good socialised medical care. I'm lukcy I have an ongoing job. I'm lucky I have friends. But you make your own luck - cultivate it. What goes around, comes around. 

9. What’s your biggest kitchen fail?

That I don't spend more time in the kitchen cooking. I would love to be a gourmet cook - and I can be when I set my mind to it. 

10. What’s the most embarrassing thing that happened to you in school?

Too many things to list. I think just existing at school, for me, was embarrassing. I've grown into my oddness. 

11. If you could kill off any character from a current television show, who would it be?

I've been watching a bit of Grey's Anatomy lately and there are various characters I'd happily kill off - Amelia Shepherd and Arizona Robbins being two of them. Mind you, the show is coming to the end of its use by date. Maya from The Good Fight and Dan on Lucifer also get up my nose. Mind you, most of these characters are put there for that reason. 

12 . If you could make a rule for a day and everyone had to follow it, what would it be?

Be kind, always. It's as simple as that. The world would be a better place. 

13. Would you rather be a hobbit or an elf for 24 hours?

An elf. Elves are cute. Hobbits have big feet. I'd trip over. 

14. What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done?

I lived illegally in another country for six years. Crazy enough for you?

15. Would your rather shoot spaghetti out of your fingers or sneeze meatballs?

That is a stupid question, so I'm not answering it.
