Blog award nomination

August 14, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

It’s been a while since I’ve been nominated for a blog award, but one of my newest followers, James the Less (who came up with a catchy name for his blog) nominated me.

I’m going to skip over the rules (bad, bad, I know, you can yell at me if you wish) and just answer the questions he posed. Let’s see if my grey matter is sharp enough to come up with something witty but truthful for these questions…

Tell me – answers

June 28, 2021June 28, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

Recently I asked two questions:

What is your favorite and least favorite thing about you?

In this post, I’ll address the answers to the thing you like best about yourself. Your favorite thing about you.

My own answer is, as usual, wordy. (Surprise!) 😉

What is your least favorite thing about you?

If you struggled with the question about what you like best about yourself, this question might be more difficult to answer.

Ring, ring, why don’t you answer the phone?

April 16, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

Do you answer your personal (not work) smartphone when it rings randomly/unexpectedly?

Do you answer your home landline phone, if you still have one?

Questions about apps: Reddit

April 5, 2021 Writer of Words, etc

I have a question: who uses Reddit regularly? I noticed you can sign in with your google account, so I did. I have only dabbled in reddit occasionally in the past half year or so and find it a little…cluttered? Opinionated without much fact-checking? Trendy? Something like that… I can’t quite describe it accurately. I don’t know if I’m interested enough in using this app as a go-to source. Should I? Or not? Definition Reddit describes itself as the front page of the internet. Wikipedia has a longer, wordier definition and describes reddit as a social news aggregation, web content … Continue reading Questions about apps: Reddit

About those drafts (you asked, I answered) (sorry not sorry)

November 17, 2020November 17, 2020 Writer of Words, etc

It appears that most of you are fascinated by my draft folder I mentioned in yesterday’s post. The one that contains 557 unfinished thoughts, as someone put it.

I don’t know if I’m the weirdo, or you guys are! 😂

Need to know 2 – chores

October 12, 2020October 12, 2020 Writer of Words, etc

Missed the first question? Click here: Need to know 1 – happiness If you could give up one necessary household chore forever but had to replace it with another chore, which would they be? Me: clean the bathroom I want the bathroom to be sparkly clean as well as highly organized. I don’t want to think about where stuff is, I just want to reach for it and do my business. This is tricky in a home where multiple people use the same bathroom. Why is it so hard to put the toothpaste in the same location every time, hang … Continue reading Need to know 2 – chores

There is something about how a freshly laundered set of sheets, pillow cases, blankets and comforter induce a deep, satisfying sleep for me. I still revel in it when I wake up that first morning after. Your turn. 🙂 Continue reading Need to know 1 – happiness
