[quote=PJSinger;48873071] Boys and girls, it's time once again for some Tuesday fun and games, so let's get busy with

TODAY'S QUESTIONS
Name something that is:
  • square myself, if I were to believe some contributors to a recent thread on techie stuff.
  • circular a celadon Chinese incense burner (?) I see on an upper bookshelf
  • triangular the little park in front of my old h.s., it was called Trigon Park
  • spherical a day-glo chartreuse-colored tennis ball on the table
  • cubical a old cardboard box for storing CDs
  • rectangular yet another box for storing CDs, much spiffier - covered in phony paper cloth.
  • oval a stone from a beach in Cyprus that I use to hold open the screen door
Name something in your home that is:
  • green the walls in this room
  • orange the cover of an old book of Chinese poetry that belonged to my Aunt
  • yellow the walls of the bedroom are a deep, but bright yellow
  • red the cape on a little statue of Krishna playing the flute
  • blue the above Krishna himself has blue flesh
  • clear/colorless a pear-shaped paper weight that belonged to my best friend
  • brown the desk top
EXTRA CREDIT

Describe your favorite place to sit and relax in your home. In my little library/computer room that has sliding glass doors onto a small terrace, and I have half a dozen or so pots of frowsy raggedy type plants that make it look a bit like a meadow.

Is there anything (besides clothing) in your home which has a floral design on it? One Iranian carpet in the living room has stylized flowers in its pattern

Do you store items on top of your refrigerator? yes, but "store" would be a kind and generous term for it.

Do you own a cookie jar and, if so, do you use it? no

Do you ever brew tea in a ceramic or glass pot? no

Is there a coffee table in your home? no

Do you own any coffee table books? yes, a fair number but they are in a bookcase.


BONUS QUESTIONS

When was the last time you jumped, and why did you jump? Arthritis and several large metal prosthetic implants largely discourage that. But I did "jump" back the other day when exiting the elevator as the Brazilian maid down the hall almost popped in on me. She expected the elevator to be empty and I did not expect someone had buzzed it up, so we almost collided and were both given a scare. There is a great Portuguese expression for this: pregar um susto/to nail a fright on someone

When and where was the last time/place that you swam? In Cyprus, 2005

Do you buy milk by the gallon, half-gallon, quart or other size? don't buy milk

Do you buy honey in a little plastic squeeze bottle, or do you buy it in pint- or quart-sized glass jars? The measurement is metric, but the jar is about half a pint in size.

What dessert item did you last consume? a baked apple

What vegetable did you last consume? beets

What's your favorite type of salad dressing? oil and vinegar

If you've ever been on a specialized diet, what type of food that you were not allowed to have did you miss the most?

Okay, everybody, that's about it for now. Till next Tuesday, I'll have my thinking cap on and will post some more zany - well, at least not boring - questions. Have a terrific day!

Now it's time for me to go . 'Tis a terrific day here, and have one yourself.
