Sunday Stealing: The Racquet Questions
01 What is the worst nickname that anyone has ever called you? When we were in junior high, my older sister used to call me "Butchy Boy." Because she wanted to make me feel ugly.

03 Do you add a sauce, ketchup or other artificial flavorings to your food? Depends on the food.

"Time-honored" I like that.
ReplyDeleteBlaze would still be an awesome gift. I always wanted a bouncy horse. I got a Marvel the Mustang instead. He wasn't quite as pretty, but he did have wheels and went places.
Jo is one of my favorites, too, but I went with Stephanie Plum this time.
Have a great week!
Moonbeam is a very romantic nickname. Sometimes I think my husband forgets to call me anything at all. Every now and then he calls me by name and I'm always surprised, even after 33 years.
ReplyDeleteI like that marigolds help keep rabbits away from my garden. I plant them around my veggies.
ReplyDeleteMarigolds are the farmer's "go to" flower plant for safeguarding against gophers, too. Mother loved them,too.
ReplyDeleteWe bought a spring style horse for our older girls for Christmas one year. They were wild about horses. But they ""fed" it, so when it got the inevitable case of halitosis, they named it M'Garlica.
I agree with you on the World Series game. That as amazing. I was in tears--and I'd never rooted for the Cubs before.
ReplyDeleteBoo hiss for the math!
ReplyDeleteMy first pet (collie who looked like Lassie) was named Blaze. My first fave toy was a similar horse. For the 20th Anniversary of WTIT my then wife hired a stripper. Her name was Moonbeam (sorry for this one, but true none-the-less) I answered the election question by saying "I was with her" as well, and then we have The Cubbies. In pro sports there is no rival not just for "The Wait by The Cubs. Besides THe Yanks are my baseball team and I'm all in with the Pats for football. And as thrilled as I was for The Cubs, they are my Dad's team, not mine. So the closest I got to waiting for The Cubs was UConn Men's Basketball. But we weren't waiting for 108 years. We had never won anything until 1988. We won the NIT that year. When we made the final four I cried. Not for me, but for my dad. He got to see it. We didn't need the "W". WE had made it to the Final Four. But then, we won it all. My dad got to see UConn win 4 National Champion banners during his lifetime. And he was UConn's Captain in 1945. But the Cubs win? He wouldn't make that. But he did get almost 89 years and did it "his way". Enjoy the game today! :)
ReplyDeleteI hate raw tomatoes. Actually I hate WHOLE tomatoes cooked or raw; grind 'em up small and I'm fine, but they are gross to eat in chunks.
ReplyDeleteIt was between Jo March and Elizabeth Bennet and P & P won.
