If you could interview anyone from your life living or dead, but not a celebrity, who would it be and why?

I’d like to interview both sets of grand-parents to hear more of their stories of the days of their lives. I’d ask more questions, and write down what they say. I never even thought about doing that when they were here.

As a child, did you have a nickname? Did you carry that with you throughout life or was it only in childhood that you used it?

I didn’t really have a nick name when I was a kid. Later on, one friend would shorten my name to Barb, and lots of us would think up cool names to call ourselves, especially when writing notes to each other. Mine were Chelsea, and Hullaballoo. haha!

Give us three words that describe you:

Peace – Love – Groovy

Sneaking into a second movie at the theater (if you go to a movie house)? Is that wrong or just harmless ‘fun’?

I’ve never even thought about sneaking into a second movie viewing. I was already grown up when they made movie theaters with more than one screen, and by then I wouldn’t have wanted to, anyway. After one movie, I’d be ready to go home.

If you had a time machine would you go back to the past or forward into the future? Why?

My blog is my time machine. I travel all the time to the past in words and photos, and to the future with some of my writing. It’s fun!

Was the last thing you read digital or print?

I read blogs all day on my computer. Then, I read an actual printed book during meals, and at bedtime. So, blogs, and the book I’m re-reading now is “Morning Glory” by Gloria Hawker … about her UFO experiences.

Are you more an extrovert or introvert?

Introvert, for all the descriptions there are of that. I’m okay with peopling for a little bit, but after awhile, I have to be by myself.

How is your life different from what you imagined as a younger person?

No different. I always dreamed of writing and reading all day, because I love to. For awhile jobs and school took up a lot of time, but now, that is what I can do all day – write and read. 🙂

Do you think about dying? Does death scare you? Why or why not?

Sometimes, but try not to dwell on it. I don’t want anything horrendous or tragic to end it all, but it will be nice to see all those people and animals that have gone before me, again, which I believe I will. Maybe I’ll be an actual ghost, and stay around awhile longer …who knows?

GRATITUDE:

I found this interesting challenge and did it myself. I’m offering these questions as a gratitude challenge for those who care to do it. You can answer in text or photo.

Additional Gratitude Bonus Question: Who has been the kindest to you in your life?

My family has been the kindest to me in my life.

Time again for questions from Melanie for Share Your World. Thanks so much for hosting this fun weekly challenge, Melanie!

***

Why is it called “beauty sleep” when one wakes up looking like a troll??

Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?

Why do most cars have speedometers that go up to at least 130 when you legally can’t go that fast on any road?

Did they purposely make dyslexia hard to spell?

(Rather naughty): If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

*********

What are some things that are okay to do occasionally but definitely not okay to do every day?

Go to an amusement park?

What is the most embarrassing thing you have ever worn?

Maybe a Halloween costume? But, I wasn’t embarrassed to wear any of them, because it was fun.

Oh…here’s one from when I was a kid in elementary school. I had a dress I couldn’t stand, but my mom made me wear it anyway, even if it did embarrass me. It had these things on the shoulders that I though made me look like a hefty football player.

Another dress I had that I didn’t like had a blue tie in the front…I thought it made people think I was a boy wearing a tie. Ugh! So…I ripped it so bad that I didn’t have to wear it again.

In your opinion, what’s the best type of cheese?

Queso! This is a melted cheese dip you eat with crispy tortilla chips.

What are some fun ways to answer everyday questions like “how’s it going” or “what do you do”?

“It’s going” … “Fair to middling” … “Fine as frog hair” …

Miscellaneous:

Have you ever sent a text message to the wrong person? Details please.

Yes. The only people I ever text to is my two daughters. On the phone I sometimes pull up the other one than the one the text is for. Example, just the other day I sent a fun joke to one, but the other one got the text. They both liked it, though. 🙂

I’ve also gotten texts from people I don’t know! I got invited to a party in another state one time. It had the time and address on the text. I did text them back, saying sorry, I can’t make the party, as you texted the wrong person! haha 🙂

If you could make a rule for a day, and everyone had to follow it, what would it be?

I’d make everyone sing their words all day, like in a musical.

You are about to get in a fight, what song comes on your mind soundtrack?

I’d never get into a fight, but how about “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor.

Since the Tiger is my Spirit Animal, I like the title and the lyrics of this song, and I’m sure my Tiger would help me in any fight.

***

“Eye of the Tiger”, by Survivor, was released from their albums, “Eye of the Tiger”, and “Rocky III”, in 1982. It was written by Jrankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik.

Share a joke, if you know a good one!

Knock Knock

Who’s there?

Rice

Rice who?

Rice and shine, sleepy head! 🙂

***

Say this out loud:

I slit the sheet, the sheet I slit, and on the slitted sheet I sit. 🙂

What is the best pick me up that you know of? To shake you out of the blues?

Listening to music, and listening to the funny things my grand-daughter & grand-son say. They make me laugh all the time.

What would be the title of your memoir?

Ghost Stories. That’s because my online name is Ghost, and I write stories. Also, I have true ghost stories that have happened, that I write about.

Where do you like to go when you eat out?

Any Mexican restaurant…my favorite kind of food. Here we have a couple of favorite ones…Abuelo’s, which is fairly fancy, but still affordable. It has beautiful decorations. I wouldn’t mind living in that place, it’s so neat looking. It has stone floors, arches, murals on the walls, statues, a pretty fountain. The food is really good, too.

The other place is called Garcia’s. It is not as fancy, but the food is good there, too. They have some cool decorations, too, but not as many as the other place.

Do you believe in luck?

Yes and no. Sometimes things happen and you wonder why. At times you blame something on ‘bad luck’, but when good things happen you say you were lucky, or have ‘good luck.

Gratitude Question:

Aside from necessities, what is one thing you couldn’t go a day without?

Aside from family, pets, food, shelter, air and water…let’s see…it could be reading & writing…I do this every day, and have ever since I could remember. Whether it’s writing with pen & paper, or typing on the computer, it’s a must for me. Same for reading…I’ll read actual books, of course, but I read about anything that is printed. I’ll read labels, signs, ingredients, just whatever it is, I will read it.

Here are the questions from this week and the past weeks. from Melanie! If you’d like to join in, just click the above link to find out details. It’s fun! 🙂

***

What’s the first thing you notice about a person?

I notice what they are wearing and if they are smiling.

What three habits do you feel would improve someone’s life?

I don’t go around correcting or making suggestions about other people’s habits.

What takes up too much of your time? Would you stop that if you could?

Writing blog posts, and reading other’s blog posts. I wouldn’t stop, because I like doing this every day.

Cookies (biscuits to those elsewhere), pastries, pie or cake? If not, what does your sweet tooth crave?

All the above sweets, and candy! Any kind, any flavor, any way the sweets are presented, I want them all.

***

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates? If you don’t think Heaven nor God exists, you might want answer by saying something outrageous, just for fun!

Welcome! Your family and pets are right here waiting for you.

What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery?

The death of your child.

What do you think about when you’re alone in your car?

The song on the radio that I’m singing along to.

How would you rate your memory?

Good, with a few glitches here and there.

And lastly:

What’s one song that always cheers you up, no matter how blue you’re feeling?

Too many to name them all. I love all kinds of music. But here’s one I can’t help singing along to, and trying to dance to.

***

Do You Have Any Guilty Pleasures?

I don’t think so, because if do something I’m pretty much enjoying whatever it is, so why feel guilty?

What Is The Worst Pick Up Line You Ever Heard?

For fun… ‘that’s a nice pick-up truck you have’, about our Big Blue Dodge Ram Pick-up Truck.

For the guys: What’s The Worst Pick Up Line You’ve Used?

What Slang Or Trend Makes You Feel Old?

?? Maybe some of the words kids use today that seems to be in some kind of code I don’t know what it means. But if I want to know, I can ask, or look up something I’ve heard.

Oh and some TV shows that are aimed at the younger set and are supposed to be funny…I don’t get it…they are not funny at all to me.

What Do You Consider The Most Over-rated Song?

That one from the movie ‘Ghost’, by the Rightcheous Bros. “Unchained Melody”.

Instead of a Tender Mercies question, here’s a philosophical one instead:

You Find A Book And Begin To Read Only To Discover That It Is Your Life. You Get To The Point That You Are At Now, Do You Turn The Page Knowing That You Will Not Be Able To Change The Events To Come?

Probably not. I’m not one that usually reads ahead in a book.
