Unexpected change

I just opened Melanie’s post with these questions, which she got from A Guy Called Bloke and they looked fun, so I’m joining in.

Right now, right this minute what could happen that would change your life totally for the better? If an elf or fairy were to come by with a fat envelope stuffed with $1000 bills, I would be deliriously happy. Watch out, life, here I come! I have everything else in this life that I want, so this would be the cherry on top of the sundae.

How well do you handle changes in your life, to your life or to your regular routines? It depends on the change really. Some changes are easy to accept, other less so.

If you could jump into a pool of something odd [not water] what would it be? Aloe Vera gel. I’m sure I could relax and float in it, and it would be oh so soothing to the skin.

What would be so much better if you could simply change the colour of it? Gray skies. To something like, maybe, blue. With a yellow orb in the center of it.

If you had a time machine, would you go back in time or visit the future and would you change anything? This one draws a political answer from me – I’d go back to the 2016 election and knock it off it’s foundation. Although, every once in awhile, I wonder if the current White House occupant was sent to wake the Congress from it’s ridiculous partisanship. If so, it doesn’t seem to be working.

Do you prefer dogs over cats or cats over dogs? Yes.

How would you react if you were unexpectantly changed into a frog? I’m pretty sure I’d croak. Teehee

Wite a random sentence about blogging without using the letter G. Okay, I see what you did there. The very subject has two of the offending letters. Let me just say that I sometimes enjoy the process of writing, spewing my opinions and nonsense all over the world.

If you could do the world over, what would you change? See time machine question. I would make the world more centrist, less radical, more tolerant and accepting of differences. I would rid the world of all nuclear weapons and some that are not nuclear.

Why did you do that? Because I think it would be better for all of us.

If you disinvent something, what would it be and why? Anger. Is that something that can be disinvented?

You have been gifted an elephant – you cannot give it away, donate it or sell it – what are you going to do with your elephant? I am going to fence in my yard, get my elephant some goat playmates, and teach it to use the outdoor toilet.

What are your values with regards your life? To live as best I can, to do no harm, to be as honest as I can.

Who do you prefer to spend the most time with? Myself? Sometimes. My adult kids. My close friends. My dog and cats.

Which is worse, falling over or not getting back up again? Well, really – not getting back up again! Although at my age, falling could do enough damage to slow that down considerably.

If the currency was happiness and goodwill, what job would you perform? Any job where I was needed – assuming of course that I am independently wealthy enough to cover my costs of living.

You have lost your Internet connection for ten days, there is no internet connection within 50 miles of where you live. it matters not about what you use to connect, it simply isn’t happening – what will you do for those ten days? Okay, wait – question – do I have cell service? Because I could use that to access Amazon, and text my people. and I would bitch – a lot – and frequently. Then maybe I’d actually do some things that need to be done around here, because what else is there?

And I would smell the lilacs.
