What Don't We Know?


Sunday Stealing – What Don't We Know?

Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!

This week's meme was stolen from Ken and Dot's All Sorts. This blogging duo was asked to share things about themselves their readers may not already know. Their answers have been used as the basis for this week's questions. 

Tell Us Something

1. Can you touch your nose with your tongue?   No. Both my nose and tongue are very small.

2. What foreign language did you study in school? How much of it do you still remember?  French and Russian. I can read French pretty well.

3. What recipe did you most recently prepare? Where did you get the recipe and how did it turn out?

It is my own recipe and I made spaghetti and meatballs.  It's my own recipe.

4. What song have you listened to over and over and over again?  Coming to America by Neil Diamond, but there is quite a long list of songs I've heard again and again.

5. Are there currently any pets in your household? Are you considering adding another? 

My last dog friend passed away at age 15. My last cat friend died at age 21. Now I just have my fish friends in the pond. Some of them are over 25 years old.  They can live to be hundreds of years.  I call them friends because I don't own pets, I have animals that come to live with me but I don't 'own' them.
