Questions on a Sunday

Dinner is cooking on the stove.. lamb chops and green beans which smell so delicious. I am very hungry and can hardly wait until it is time to eat. Sunday stealing is here again.




From the Ravenclaw Ask Game
1. Do you have a passion project? What is it?
Not a project, more of a pet peeve.. religions dishonesty which due to lack of liturgy is overwhelming today.Religions are a shell of their original, former selves and been substituted with a feel good agenda full of pious platitudes and new age style  sentiment, practice and globalist beliefs that have come about since the late 1800's.

2. How many languages can you speak?

English fluently, though I doubt anyone is truly fluent in any language.
I  can read and understand Hebrew and French but speaking is poor.

Prince Edward Island
3. What was the last book you read?

44 Charles Street by  Danielle Steele.   Been a while since I have read, however.

4. Where in the world would you most like to visit?
Prince Edward Island,  Boston, Massachusetts.



Ebenezer with nephew Fred Holywell and wife Lily
5. Top 5 fictional characters?

Ebenezer Scrooge,  Fred Holywell, Lily Holywell. Can't think of others.

 6. Something you miss from your childhood?

Being a kid!

7. What skill do you wish you had?

Ability to become invisible at will.

8. Tell us an interesting fact

Walter Cronkite was a Globalist creep. Scott Peterson deserves a new trial.

9. What was your favourite subject in school?

Chemistry and history tie for number one.

10. Favourite planet?

Earth.  If I said anything else  it would be silly since no one has ever been to them and they are supposedly unlivable as far as we know.

11. Which historical figure fascinates you and why?

None that I can think of. History is a lie agreed upon by the victors. Never can be sure who is what they say they are.

12. Favourite mythical creature?

None. I doubt many so-called mythical creatures are really mythical at all but existed in the past and some exist to this day.

13. Do you believe in any conspiracy theories?

     Yes of course. Any person with half a brain would. 

14. What is your favourite word?

Tintinnabulation ( as read in Poe's poem The Bells) Here is an excerpt:
Edgar Allen Poe cottage, Fordham, Bronx, New York

 Hear the sledges with the bells—
                 Silver bells!
What a world of merriment their melody foretells!
        How they tinkle, tinkle, tinkle,
           In the icy air of night!
        While the stars that oversprinkle
        All the heavens, seem to twinkle
           With a crystalline delight;
         Keeping time, time, time,
         In a sort of Runic rhyme,
To the tintinabulation that so musically wells
       From the bells, bells, bells, bells,
               Bells, bells, bells—
  From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells.

15. Do you have any obsessions right now?

No. I avoid them like the plague. I find it odd that people become obsessed with things. Isn't obsession a mental disorder?

16. Do you play any instruments?

    Yes.



17. What’s your worst habit?

     Speaking up. Gets me in trouble. People don't like truth at all. They like to prove their own agenda right no matter what. Also people take everything personally today so, speaking your mind becomes a problem.

18. Do you have a collection of anything?

Not anymore. I have wondered if it borders on coveting and messes up the house with junk you really don't need. I have no problem with other people collecting things, just for me.

19. What’s your biggest ‘what if’?

Don't have one that I can think of right now.

20. What is your favourite fairy tale?

The Land of Green Ginger.

21. Have you ever dyed your hair? Is there a colour you’d like to dye it?

Yes but not in a long while. No special color other than the one I did use.

22. If you could learn one language overnight, which would you choose?

German

23. What’s the most useless thing you know how to do?

I don't think anything is useless.

24. What’s the most important change that should be made to your country’s education system?

Get rid of the requirements of psychology for teachers.

Require that teachers major in the subject they are teaching.

Require that a  school teacher have gotten top marks in elementary school, junior high, high school as they did originally.  If you barely graduated you can't teach anyone much at all can you?

Do away with no child left behind and the rest of the garbage like new math and etc.

Spend less on education, it is wasted money right now. The more they spend the more education falls into the toilet.

Suggest that  everyone  hear what Charlotte Isberbyt has to say qbout education.


That's it for today. The wind is howling outside, temperatures are dropping rapidly and I think my trip to the grocery store will have to wait because I worry about ice. It was a rainy, blustery day today  but.. now that I look outside, it seems pretty dry from the wind.
here along the New Jersey seashore.

The lamb chops were delicious by the way and now it is time for a nice hot cup of tea.

  1. I had to look up what Tintinnabulation meant and found this answer,'a ringing or tinkling sound.' A very long word for such a short definition. However, it was a new word for me and I'm glad I now know what it means.

    1. Tintinnabulation. An onomatopoeia word like dokidoki or nomnomnom. Very pretty.

  2. Hi Annie. #7 cracked me up and #24 is right on! I decided not to do this one this week and opted to do my own creative adventures one instead. Enjoyed all your answers and yes "keep saying it like it is!" I admire that in you. Have a blessed day my friend.

  3. Stay warm Annie. I added a lot of pictures at my blog today. I also started saving my pages from my web before I take them down. I am starting with the Friendship Cottage. I have another year left on my website. So I have time to downsize it and decide what I want to do. Eventually I will be at blogger. I don't think other Blogger readers can figure out the inline frames at my site. Stay warm!

  4. Lamb chops sound so lovely. I don't think I've ever had any. I've had leg of lamb, but that's not the same thing at all. I guess we never had lamb chops because they seemed so small for such a big price, and with a big family and big eaters it just didn't make sense to me. But now that we are just we two most of the time, maybe a lamb chop would be nice. I enjoyed reading all of your answers. You are a very interesting and intelligent person, and I would love to sit and visit and learn from you. Thank you for being who you are. Speak up...never fear rejection. Only small minded people reject you for your honesty.
