7 Have you ever employed a smith of any kind?
I don't know if this is the right answer but...yes. When we lived in AZ we employed what I would call a blacksmith or iron worker. He made a wrought iron fence for us. I loved it.

5 Can people really change?
Yes, I think they can. If they want to. I don't think you can change people. You can't change for someone else either, you have to do it because you want to do it. I know that in my journey, I've changed because I wanted to. When someone tries to change me, I resist.

4 Would you rather live in a world without deodorant or painkillers?
Definitely without deodorant. There are already so many "stinky" people in the world who don't/won't/can't use commercial deodorants. But think of all the poor sufferers of migraines and back pain, etc. Painkillers for the win!

3 Have you ever planted a tree? Or chopped one down? If you have done both which was more satisfying?
Yup, when we lived in AZ we planted a mesquite tree in our front yard. So pretty.

2 What is the most beautiful thing you have ever destroyed?
Possibly every plant I've tried to grow. I'm terrible with them. Always have been. His Lordship is the gardener in this house. We had the most beautiful rose bush and I was in charge. Dead in a few months. *sigh*

I've decided to do this meme for another month; at least another month. We'll see how it goes. It does keep me posting!

1 Have you ever flown a kite?
Yes, yes I have! Matter of fact, His Lordship bought some fancy kits from the fancy kite place and we go out to the school yard/park and fly when it's windy. And we think about it.

30 Would it be better to never be able to say yes or never be able to say no?
That's a good one. Hmmm. I think it would be pretty awful if one could never say no. I've learned that saying no can save your sanity.

June Questions )

Even though I've found some of these questions to be...questionable, I think I'll carry on with this for at least another month!

29 Is it better to have loved and lost than to have to eat nothing but Pop Tart for a year?
Loved and lost. Been there, done that - survived. Eating Pop Tarts only for a year? That's a big bowl of NopeFlakes!

28 If you dropped your mobile phone down the portaloo on Day 3 of Glastonbury Festival would you retrieve it?
I have never been to Glastonbury, nor do I plan to go. I have, however, been to Burning Man 5 times. It's been quite awhile since I've been and one of the best things about it WAS there was NO CELL SERVICE. So phones were moot. I never had a phone with me, I was totally free. It was glorious. Of course (PSA TIME) Burning Man IS NOT A MUSIC FESTIVAL. Nor is it a place for "influencers". Gah. If I had dropped my camera, I would probably retrieve it. We had our own shower! Yes, it was outdoors. We was wild.

27 How long can you go without checking your mobile phone?
I guess it depends on what's going on. Most days....most of the day. Days like today when I have a client, I keep it on and try to keep it with me in case they call to say they are running late or have to cancel.

I've always labored under the illusion (delusion?) that the phone was for MY benefit, not everyone else's. Just sayin'.

25 Would you rather have all of your clothes fit perfectly or have the most comfortable pillow, blankets, and sheets in existence?
Now this is an interesting question! I do love my sleep, but that said, I can sleep anywhere! I'm a champion sleeper! So I'll go with all my clothes fitting perfectly. That'd be a change!

24 If you had to wear somebody's guts for garters who would you disembowel in order to facilitate your socks staying up?
Hmmmm. I don't think I'd want an enemy on my skin or near my skin. Negative reminders. Can I disembowel an already dead person? This question is icky. And I don't wear socks....mostly.

23 What age does someone have to be to be properly old?
Now this is subjective, isn't it. And if this was written by a "young person", which I'm guessing it was...yeah. My kids (who are in their early 20's) think I'm old. I think my step mother is old. I think anyone 10 years younger than me is "young". People who are close to my own age, well we think we are old or young depending on how we feel! So...subjective.

I don't know if you are ever "properly" old.

22 Would you prefer to have seven arms or eyes in the back of your head?
According to my boys, I already have eyes in the back of my head! And the "smeller of a hound dog". Bwahahahahahahaha!

And 7 arms would require a whole new wardrobe so, no.

21 If you could fill a swimming pool with your favourite drink and then swim around in it and drink as much as you like what drink would you choose?
Water. Water is my favorite drink. It would have to be the unchlorinated water though. I don't drink no chlorine!

20 If you had to hide an elephant in your house where you would put it?
Paint their toenails red, yellow orange, green, blue and brown and hide them in my M&M bowl!

It's an old Boy Scout joke.
