Chats on the Farmhouse Porch 14
It's time to go over to Patrice's porch for our weekly chat. I look forward to these every week! This week, everybody is full of questions!
QUESTIONS
- Barbie asks: What's your favorite coffee drink?
- Dreaming asks: What's the chore you hate the most that you wish Blogger would come do?
- Farm Girl asks: Why did you decide to start a blog?
- Suzanne asks: Who's your most famous relative?
- Cathy Kennedy asks: Have you ever given yourself a home perm?
My answers:
- Favorite coffee - plain old Folgers - and I drink LOTS of it; now if I'm at a coffee shop I would love a caramel macchiato.
- I wouldn't actually want anyone else doing my chores - something about not wanting anyone else to see my house dirty?
- My DIL started one when they went overseas as a way to keep in touch so I started one in order to follow hers and post stuff for them.
- My most famous relative? That would easily have to be Randall McCoy - patriarch of the famous Hatfield-McCoy feud.
- Home perm -I have suppressed that memory and that's all I'm saying.
Now I'll head on over to Joyce's for the hodgepodge!
Questions for the Wednesday Hodgepodge-Vol 50
watching shows with paranormal themes
2. Halloween-are you a lover or a hater? Okay, that sounds harsh...Halloween-yay or nay? -
Definitely yay! I just love Halloween and seeing all the little kids dressed up, and I love the corn mazes and haunted houses..................

3. Can you respect someone you do not trust, and can you trust someone you do not respect? -
If someone is not trustworthy, they are definitely not worthy of respect - As far as trusting someone I don't respect - possibly - I try to be trusting until given a reason not to but I do not necessarily respect someone until I know them personally and know their values, etc.

Oranges please!
Oranges please!
5. What is something you wish was in your town? (shop, restaurant, attraction, etc)

6. What non-food item is in your refrigerator or freezer?
Well, besides the boxes of baking soda, there is the eye mask in there.

7. Are you at all superstitious?
Having been "Southernly" raised-with some people who are believed to have "The Sight" (and I believe they do) and others who claim to have it (and I do not believe them all)- I would have to say yes - there are some things that simply cannot be explained otherwise.

8. Insert your own random thought here.
Why is it that a man will take his socks off and drop them anywhere - and that's where they stay - on the kitchen floor, under the table, under the couch, computer desk, chair, bed.........anywhere! And they stay there until you pick them up (and you never find them all until you do laundry and don't have mates so you go looking). Is this genetic? Something to do with that Y chromosome? Does it infuriate anybody besides me?

Well my hubs is a neatnik. I probably make him a little crazy, although I'm also pretty neat. Just not over the top neat : )
ReplyDeleteMy husband always puts his socks in the hamper, but he folds them into a pair before he does this...which means I have to UNFOLD dirty socks before I can wash them. Yuk! Men and their dirty socks...LOL
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on #3.
ReplyDeleteHubs always puts his socks together when he takes them off and drops them in the laundry basket. But that's really the only thing he does that DOESN'T drive me nuts. LOL
ReplyDeleteI believe that there are people who have 'the sight' too.
When our first was born my mother offered to pay someone to come in once a week to clean. I cleaned the house before she got here so she wouldn't see it dirty.
Being from WV, I'm somewhat familiar with the Hatfiled/McCoy feud. Now, that's pretty cool! I'm thankful my DH picks up after himself. He usually points something I've left out place more times than not. lol.

Respect? Trust? Isn't it sort of the same? I doubt I would trust someone I didn't respect any more than I would the other way round.
ReplyDeleteApples over oranges - every day.
You don't have an Outback? I think I might panic if that ever happened. My family is huge Outback fans. It probably stems from the fact that everyone in my husbands family has worked there and my brother in law is currently the proprietor of one.
ReplyDeleteMy husband does put them in the hamper but he takes them off and they are in a ball and then I have to touch smelly socks and unravel them!
ReplyDeleteI understand not wanting anyone to see a dirty house. I'd probably clean up if I had a maid, but I can't afford one anyway!I'm glad you joined us again this week!
ReplyDeleteMy husband will put his clothes in front of the closet door...so he's sooo close to actually putting them IN the hamper!
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and oh my sakes!!! the socks! LOL and you are a fellow coffee drinker! I just love ya already! Love your questions :)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful rest of the week!
Lookin forward to following!
I agree on the Outback ... wish we had one here. We live near a University town, and almost all the restaurants are pizza places, Mexican or fast food. A nice sit-down place like the Outback would be nice.
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned that growing up Southern Baptist, you had all kinds of superstitions ... that has me very curious. ;-)
Wow I could write a book about your answers. My great greats were from the Cumberland Gap area too and they believed in second sight and when I was little I remember my great grandmother and grandmother and aunts asking me questions to see if I had it. Isn't that weird. So you were related to that legendary family. I bet you could write a book.
ReplyDeleteDo you know for most years my husband was a huge Grinch. He was just not interested. Then I got sick. You know how that happens sometimes, and I was sick for a long, long time.
He took over and he totally changed. Now he does a better job than I ever did and the best part, he stays on the budget. :)
It sure makes my life easier.
Have a lovely week.
