I'm participating in Fandango's Flashback Friday today with a post from May 8, 2020 that I found on the Wayback Machine for my old WP blog. These were questions from a beloved blogger who has since passed away. RIP Melanie.
FUNQ’s
1. What’s your favorite holiday/celebration?
I enjoy any low key holiday when I can wear a cute kitty tee shirt and possible sparkly hat plus either go out to dinner or have a themed potluck. Not a fan of big complicated holidays that involve a lot of work.
2. Do you enjoy snow, if you have it in your area?
We do not get snow near the beach in Orange County, California (that I know of), but I enjoy looking at pics of winter scenes elsewhere. I wouldn’t mind visiting some snow again someday. Oh hi! Brrrr! Bye!
3. What do you think of the current news (generally, not today specifically)?
Argh!
4. Dog or cat or guinea pig/ferret/fish/bird?
Love kitties! Doggies are nice too. If I were wealthy, I’d want a gorgeous aquarium full of beautiful fishies. Pets are a lot of work though, even cats, when they’re inside as they should be.
5. Do you like bacon?
I confess I do, but only super duper crispy bacon, almost burnt. Most places don’t make it crispy enough for me. I don’t make it at home because I don’t like my place to smell of meat. I’m fine never having it.
6. If you’re more vegan or vegetarian (someone please explain the difference. Briefly. I get confused!), what’s your favorite veggie?
Vegans don’t eat or use any products from animals; vegetarians just don’t eat meat. I don’t eat much meat these days, but I’m not vegetarian. I might go a few weeks with no meat, but then I’ll have an Egg McMuffin. My favorite veggies are mushrooms, beets (roasted), zucchini, and spinach!
7. Sunshine or rain/snow?
I like sunny days, but rain is good for us, so I don’t mind it. Mostly I enjoy overcast days without blindingly bright light.
8. Frozen treat on a hot day?
I love an iced mocha Frappuccino from Starbucks with whipped cream. Yummy! Frozen lemonade is fab too, but it has to be at the fair. My friend told me a few years ago you can buy them at the grocery store and they don’t cost $6.00 per little cup, but I want to overpay AT THE FAIR!
9. Do you have a favorite type of tree?
Yes, a weeping willow. We had one in our backyard in New Jersey and it was awesome.
10. What generational nomenclature do you use? (explanation: which generation’s lingo do you most identify with? Or are you a linguist who embraces ALL the words from every generation? )
I love words, but I was a teenager in the 1970s, so I probably use lingo from that era the most, including a lot of swearing (I try not to here). It’s all good, and I like to keep up even if I don’t use whatever is current.
Great questions!
A holiday that involves you doing work isn't a holiday for you. It's a work day for you, to create a holiday for someone else.
ReplyDeleteThe house I grew up in had a weeping willow, but it was in the front yard.
Nomenclature? Lingo? Put me down for the third century BC or thereabouts.
Great point on holidays, Infidel!
DeleteIced mocha frappuccino, now your talking my language. lol
ReplyDeleteI like weeping willow's too.
IKR? So yummy!
DeleteOh, how I wish I could have a nice mocha Frappuccino, but about six years ago coffee started to bother me big time. Switching to decaf didn't help; I think it must be the acid. I can take a few sips but that's it. I'm with you on crisp bacon, too My lingo is late 1960's. I still catch myself trying to say "groovy" or "right on!".
ReplyDeleteBummer about the coffee, Alana!
DeleteI miss Melanie (aka, Sparky), too.
ReplyDeleteAh yes, I do love the Orange County Fair. Sadly, I find myself using some current slang. Lock in. Low key. Skibidi. I haven't quite figured out sigma, though.
ReplyDeleteI love weeping willows. And iced mochas too.
