  1. #12 Karen’s. The perfect answer with what’s been going on this year. Definitely glad I’m Lola and not Karen. I get that it’s really a mindset, or behavior, but I don’t think I’d want to be named Karen. Can you imagine how much crud they get just because their given name is used for memes?

  2. What is your favorite pie? I have never made a pie. Glad you are home now. Take care of yourself!

  3. I appreciated your answers. What is your favorite pie that you love to bake? I guess mine would be apple and pumpkin, but I do love coconut cream pie the way my mother baked it. I've done it a few times too. I am glad you are safely home from the hospital and pray that your strength will be restored and you will be refreshed. Take your time. We aren't going anywhere. We are just thankful you are okay. Have a peaceful day today.

  4. I'm glad you are home. Rest and give yourself time to recover. You had interesting answers as always, but I could tell you aren't quite yourself. I love my crockpot and really need to use it more often than I do. I saw there all kinds of keto-friendly recipes for in it so I'm going to be all over that on the new diet. On your random memory, ugh. I sympathize with being a hot mess on an interview. No torn stockings for me, but I wanted a summer job at one of the BIG theme parks so bad when I was in college that I went for an interview even though I had a temperature of 102! I didn't get the job.

  6. I learned Latin at school, so (rather geekily) I know a lot of those phrases and what they mean.

    I don't use them though. It's a little pretentious to do so.

    :o)

    Cheers

  11. Sorry to hear you've been unwell. I hope you are doing better.

  12. I don't know. De minimus non curat lex seems to be a handy latin phrase. *wink* I about fell out of my chair from laughter over it when it first came around.
    Hope you are back up to snuff very soon and enjoying pies.
    I pray and meditate alot to stay calm. It is a good thing to feel close to God's ear. Should "ear" by capitalized too? hmmm...

  13. I hope you are feeling better soon! I especially liked your answer about the city of town you like the how-tO love Cape May and Camden isn't far from the Island where I grew up. We could look our Windows and see the "Camden Hills".💖
