Friday Fives

[LadyLocust]

And I missed Bacpacker’s questions from last week so here we go.
1: I seldom read fiction but when I do, it’s oooolllddd - 1800’s or earlier- so many good words and authors. (All of the Brontees had extraordinary vocabulary).
2: stitching, food (anything food, growing, processing, preserving, cooking).
3: Peppers (I don’t eat them but do grow them), green beans and tomatoes
4: stitch, read (quiet)
5: the mountains (where people aren’t)

 

[Pearl]

1: of what? is my usual response. I typically prefer drab shades of each color.
2: ask Pearl - she’ll come up with a good age for me
3: I honestly can’t remember. Didn’t know any other kids except my cousins until I went to school.
4: Snakes. (Though gov would be a close second). One in the same really- both can strike in any direction.
5: heads

#2) somewhere between 25 and 40! Ha, you owe me!! #3) Pearl

BKT!!

 

[Pearl]

Is this really some kind of dating thread ??

 

[Weedygarden]

don't do maths!

Maths is not a term used in America. I learned this a few years ago from a comment somewhere else. I am not even sure that I could pronounce it correctly without feeling like I was lisping.

That's right. Mathematics is just "math" in the U.S. I understand we have plenty of words that end in "ths" like billionths and tollbooths and we're OK pronouncing those words, but maths just trips us up. It trips me up, anyway. So does math, for that matter.

 

[Amish Heart]

I was a lisper growing up, so I'm not even attempting maths.

 

[Pearl]

All maths aside... tomorrow is the day!? Bring it on BKT!!

1. If you could trade one skill you have for one you don't, what skill would you trade away and what new skill would you acquire?

2. If you could go back in time just once to correct one mistake or bad event (personal or not), would you do it? Bear in mind you and others would lose the historical experience and wisdom that would have come about as a result of the event taking place.

3. What do you think about that puts you at peace when life throws you curve balls?

4. Did you end up marrying your first love?

5. What's your favorite kind of pie?

That is a good one, but not this round.

 

[Pearl]

I really have to think about #1, I have my answers for the others! So I'll be back soon......

 

[Pearl]

Okey dokey here we go......! 1) I would not trade any of the skills I have! Some skills are natural, some are learned! If I ever feel I need to add to my skill set, I will learn what I need!! 2) I would not go back in time to change anything! Mistakes have been made and regrets exist, but I would be in a whole other place now if things/life didn't have all its pieces!! 3) My animals 4) No, and I am glad. We are friends and I talk to him often, but it would never have lasted!! 5) Apple!!

5. What's your favorite kind of pie?

1.) I would trade some people skills for mechanical aptitude.

2.) The only events I would go back to correct would be minor personal incidents which I regret.

3.) Scotch

4.) No. It was a long time and a lot of miles between my first love and marriage.

5.) Apple
