Good Morning

2. What jewelry are you now wearing? My wedding band

3. What general worldwide zoos have you visited? Not into zoo's but the Bronx Zoo and the Zoo in Berlin to see Knute the Polar bear. I wish we hadn't gone, it broke my heart as I believe he was insane at the time we went to see him all he did was endlessly walk back and forth likely his way of asking for help. It was sad when he died but after seeing him suffering, I'm not sorry he did: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knut_(polar_bear)

4. Did you ever tour a factory to see how things are made? What? In Peru a mill on how they made alpaca clothing, In Seville how they pick the olive from the grove, process, pack and how they make olive oil, those are the most memorable.

7. Ever work the all-night shift? No

8. Ever miss a plane, bus or train that you had a ticket/reservations for? Yes

9. Did tou ever sleep in a bed with fleas? When the dog sleeps with you I'm sure there were one or 2 residing in her fur, but we never got bitten and groomed her all the time looking for fleas.

10. Can you get up by yourself from lying on the floor? Yes. Do you ever lie flat on the floor? Yes, when I do my leg stretches to keep my sciatica in check. Why not? See latter answer

Questions for Monday, 13 February 2023

1. Do you have a matching canister set? What's in them?

No, they take up too much room on the counter.

2. What jewelry are you now wearing?

None, not even my wedding band. I'm not a jewelry person, had to ask my husband to stop buying it for me. He thought he died and went to heaven!

3. What general worldwide zoos have you visited?

Philadelphia - National Zoo - Antwerpen - Heidelberg

4. Did you ever tour a factory to see how things are made? What?

Many times, often on primary school trips or family vacations. Shoes, chocolate, ice cream, dresses, dairy farm, perfume, whiskey, beer, wine, champagne, gin. I love TV shows/YT videos about how things are made too. I live not far from an orange juice factory in Spain. I love the way it makes the air in the city smell, and every time we pass by, I threaten to stop and see if I can get a tour.

5, How many people have you known in your life that you would have liked to marry, with a fair chance of success?

Oh my.... If this is about the number of times I've been engaged but never married, the answer is: an embarrassing number of times. I was a bit skittish in my earlier years, the original runaway bride! I was waiting for my only successful engagement and marriage. It took me an exceptionally long time to find him, but good things come to those who wait.

6. What city/metro that you never lived in, do you know your way around in best? Metro = don't say Boston if you lived in Cambridge.

Boston - Amsterdam - London - Paris

7. Ever work the all-night shift?

On rare occasion as needed, never as a regular shift.

8. Ever miss a plane, bus or train that you had a ticket/reservations for?

Yes, I've missed a train and a ferry. It's a sickening feeling.

9. Did you ever sleep in a bed with fleas?

Yes. Below zero, late-night rescue of an abandoned, terrified Labrador Retriever who spent a week hiding in the woods, emerging only to search passing cars. He gave me fleas - oh Lord did he give me fleas! - but he gave my sister's family years of love and devotion. He was a Good Boy. Rest in peace, Max.

10. Can you get up by yourself from lying on the floor? Do you ever lie flat on the floor? Why not?

I'm not gonna lie, it ain't as easy as it used to be but I can do it. I never intentionally lie flat on the floor because it hurts my back.

Good questions, arr430!

1. Do you have a matching canister set? What's in them? Not canisters, but a matching set of decorative glass storage jars that I keep pasta and rice in.

2. What jewelry are you now wearing? Two rings in white gold, an aquamarine and what is probably a spinel.

3. What general worldwide zoos have you visited? Maybe a half dozen or more, all here in the states. I really liked the Memphis Zoo tropical aviary, with all the birds walking around and flying through the open exhibit area where visitors walked.

4. Did you ever tour a factory to see how things are made? What? Yes, Sunbeam bakery and a confectioner's shop.

5, How many people have you known in your life hat you would have liked to marry, with a fair chance of success? Other than the two I married? Two or three others.

6. What city/metro that you never lived in, do you know your way around in best? Metro = don't say Boston if you lived in Cambridge. I don't care for cities, so unless I've lived there I probably haven't spent much time in one.

7. Ever work the all-night shift? Yes, it's hard to adjust. And the public at night are a different breed to the public during the day.

8. Ever miss a plane, bus or train that you had a ticket/reservations for? No, thank goodness.

9. Did tou ever sleep in a bed with fleas? Not intentionally, but kids sneak in strays, and strays bring fleas and share them with the family pets, so....

10. Can you get up by yourself from lying on the floor? Yes Do you ever lie flat on the floor? Not often. Why not? There's not much I can't do lying on the bed that I would do lying on the floor.
thx
