Curious as a Cat

3. When it might hurt their feelings, how do you feel about telling your friends the truth? my friends would expect nothing less of me

4. Peanut or plain? peanut

5. Is there someone you would like to take your place in life for one day? Who and why?
no and because I can't think of a clever answer

6. Who was your favorite teacher and why? a couple of elementary teachers left a lasting impression on me because they fostered my love of reading

7. What do you think is the ugliest thing or event on Earth? intolerance

9. I wish I could see ________ because _________. Hamilton; teach this era in history

10. Tell us your favorite children's story. I don't really have one

11. Explain how to play your favorite game. One of my favorite AP Psychology games to play is Petals Around the Rose: explain the name of the game but they need to figure out the significance; use four or five dice and roll them: announce how many petals are aound the rose in the dice toss (but don't say how you got that number, that's for them to figure out)

Dice showing 3 or 5 have dots in the center of their face. These dice represent the roses. The petals are the dots surrounding this center dot.
For example, a die with a 5 on it has 4 petals around the rose. A die with a 3 on it has 2 petals around the rose. A die with 1 only has one dot on its face. It is a rose without petals.

12. What do you keep in the trunk of your car? a travel safety bag, blanket, camp chair, golf umbrella, windshield washer fluid, several rolls of wrapping paper... I can't remember what else

13. Tell us about your favorite way to get lost in a simple activity — running, chopping vegetables, folding laundry, whatever. What’s it like when you’re in "the zone"? when I'm in the zone, I'm usually knitting and listening to a book--or at school working on lesson plans--and I am unaware of any noises or distractions around me

14. What’s your dream tourist destination — either a place you’ve been and loved, or a place you’d love to visit? What about it speaks to you? Ireland speaks to me--it felt like home

15. What parts of nature do you like best?
when it's not extreme

16. What kind of program do you enjoy most on TV--detective shows, comedies, game shows--and why?
I love unscripted reality shows (like Alone, Top Chef, What Not To Wear)

18. What will the next must-have technological innovation be? Jetpacks? Hoverboards? Wind-powered calculators? I have no idea

19. Have you ever been the victim of a crime? yes and no

20. What if you woke up tomorrow with the ability to understand animals. What do you think you’d hear from them? hopefully they are as random as I am

#5 gave me pause, too. I felt like it should be easy to answer, but it wasn't.

It is easy to lose touch, isn't it? Especially in this new world of always being in touch. A "like" on Facebook isn't the same.

It's interesting how many of us, Irish descendants, talk about feeling like we'd "come home" when visiting that country. I sure did.

I'd like to be your fairy godmother, and grant you that wish. 🙏
I missed everyone in our meme groups. You are all very dear to me.
Ireland calls me, too. Even the Scandinavians must feel that call, I think.
Them Vikings got around. 🤣

Have a great week, with no more ice storms!
