It's Wednesday and Time for Those Weird Questions Again

Welcome to another Weird Question Wednesday on my blog.. I have a new what ever that picture thing is called.. It is a button? or a bullet?.. anyway you know what I mean unless you are just weird.. I made it myself.. I used a paint program.. I am not very good at drawing on here though.. I am learning new things.. I guess it is weird but I can still learn stuff and I'm gonna be fifty next month... See you can teach an old dog new tricks.. I don't want to learn any weird stuff though.. I am way to weird already... I made it simple like me.. but all in all for a weird old lady I didn't do half bad.. you know.. I wonder if you do something not half bad.. does that mean it really is Half bad?? On to the weird questions for tonight..

1~} Have you raised children? Do you think your parenting skills were top notch ; not half bad; or could have used a little help from Dr Phil? Now See!.. you have already made me mad.. I have raised kids.. I raised hers and his and theirs and mine and ours and everyone Else's too.. I raised neighborhood kids.. trailer park kids.. and stragglers who followed my kids home... some had a crisis and the loss of a parent.. some were left till other arrangements could be made.. some a parent dropped off and didn't come back.. I still help raise Mason and a few others to boot.. I won't go as far as to say that I was top notch.. I didn't have money a lot of times.. we ate what he could afford.. that meant fast food only when something special was going on.. I sewed stuff and my kids wore it.. they looked good and I saved a few bucks.. then they got about half grown and got too weird for hand made clothes.. I didn't see everything the kids in my care did.. sometimes it's better to let a few little things slip by your eagle eye... but endangering a person was good for a long sit on the kitchen step..and a spanking if you got sassy about it..I'd say I did OK.. I dislike Dr Phil.. I have never liked him.. he decides before he hears the whole story what he thinks the truth is.. I have watched him a few times argue with a parent when they simply had a bad kid.. he has some weird people on his show.. he's as bad as Jerry Springer in some ways.... is he any less weird because Oprah likes him?.. I know he is all the rage.. call me weird.. he is weirder than I am..

2~} Someone is driving in front of you erratically and slowing you down...you see that they are talking on a cell phone and checking themselves out in the mirror. The other lane is blocked ..you can not go around them. What do you do?? I am a weirdo.. did you forget that? I will lay down on the horn and blast it in long beeps till they have peed in their pants and dropped that infernal cell phone.. I will roll my window down and scream at them to get off that phone and OUT of MY WAY!.. I am really weird about driving.. when you drive you should do NOTHING else.. don't be weird.. you are inviting an accident.. anyway you looked in the mirror before you left home.. didn't you?.. look again after you drive!! I hate cell phones in the car.. I get ticked off at Dave when he texts the kids when they are driving.. I even made him watch one of those creepy texting while driving warnings on You Tube!! I reckon people everywhere will know I am weird ... I do know that scaring a weirdo who is already on the phone and looking at them self is dangerous.. But shoot they are asking for an accident maybe It will scare some sense into them..

3~} What are the top 3 things you'd like to do before you leave this world? Wow are you setting up my bucket list?.. don't folks do that when they know they are gonna die?.. do you know something I don't?.. Are you weird enough to finance my three things??.. In no particular order.. (I have always wanted to say that.. you know like.. the winners are in no particular order...) Ok.. I was being weird again.. 1:- walk on the great wall of China...2:- fly away for a honeymoon on an island with Dave..( we are old and weird but we ain't dead yet.. yes we still honeymoon!) 3:-swim naked in a hot spring.. I am well aware that 3 is weird.. you asked.. I answered.. so don't get cranky about the weird truth..

4~} Do you ever read poetry?..Nah.. I am weird... I write it ...but I don't read it...

5~} Hipsters, thongs or granny panties? Weird old weirdo you!!... next you will want to know what color drawers I am wearing.. actually I have some of all three..most women do.. we have all colors too.. I wouldn't want to wear them tall drawers.. ( y'all call them granny panties..) with low rider pants would I?.. I do have low pants.. I also have some of the rubber band drawers y'all call a thong.. mine is red.. My Mama even had some with black fringe back in the day! They just called them G strings back then.. Way back in the weird day.. See what you did.. I almost got too weird for my own self!.. if I had to choose only one kind I'd take hipsters..

6~} What would you do with a drunken sailor? Wow.. Dave was in the Navy once upon a time.. does that make him a sailor?.. yea?.. well if he comes in after having a few beers with the guys after work.. does that possibly make him drunken?.. yea? I would kick his butt to here and there and way down yonder and back again.. if he drove drunk.. Now if he got drunken here at home or at a hotel where we didn't have to drive.. I'll even go way out on a weird limb and say I am going to drive... this is one of those weird sexual sneaking up on you questions isn't it?... I would help my drunken sailor to bed.. that's all you need to know.. any more and I'll have to kill you for knowing all of my weird secrets...


I know this is a little different than my older Wednesday blogs.. I am still using a borrowed computer.. All my widgets and buttons and quotes and weird stuff was on my other one.. I should have my own soon.. I could put stuff on this one.. Emily told me I could.. Dave says I'm just being weird.. I just hate to put anything on here and then have to download .. upload .. sideways load.. stuff on to what ever I finally get.. I do like my weird question button though..I really do like this little laptop.. I have a feeling going back to a regular computer is going to be weird!!! Have a great weird Wednesday!

Time to get a little Weird.

"The person of the house gave a weird little laugh" ~Charles Dickens


"There is a weird power in a spoken word" ~Joseph Conrad

"The probability of meeting someone you know increases greatly when you are out with someone you do not want to be seen with." ~weird facts

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weird Laws!

1-]- In England- Those wishing to use a television must apply for a license. ~ This would not be a problem for me.. I don't think I would bother to apply.. it is weird though.. the idea that they want you to fill out an application.. what kind of weird questions are on there.. I personally think this is some weird way for the government to make some extra money.. I mean it is really a weird concept.. I wonder if they have a TV usage inspector? Wouldn't it be weird to be charged for watching TV without a license...can't you just here big Willy the cell mate laugh when you tell him to leave you alone you were watching Television without a license

2-]- In Florida- If an elephant is left tied to a parking meter, the parking fee has to be paid just as it would for a vehicle. ~ How weird is this law? The last time I was in Florida it was filled with wrinkled old retired people.. Are they driving their elephants to the shopping mall where they do their mall walking exercises.. Another law designed to make money.. I say if some old geezer has brass enough to ride his elephant uptown.. let him tie it where ever he wants too... next thing you know they will want you to carry poop scoops and baggies for your elephant too.. On the other hand I might be weird enough to go to Florida some day and I would be ticked off if I couldn't find a parking space for elephants tied to all the parking meters.. would it be too weird if I squeezed in there between the elephant and the curb.. then they could pay for my parking..

3-]-In Louisiana-It is illegal to rob a bank and then shoot at the bank teller with a water pistol.
~ OK how many times has this weird thing occurred? Did some weirdo have to prove he was the man by shooting the teller with the weird water pistol he just robbed her with.. I promise you that that weird thing would only happen to me once.. I would jump on that weirdo and kick his butt into the middle of next week.. he wouldn't want to rob any more banks with a water gun.. I am getting mad just thinking bout it.. where is that weirdo?.. I'll kick his but right now! Then I'll take him over to Miami and tie him right behind my elephant...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Weird Questions!


1~] ~ Do you remember your first phone number? Have you called it recently?- This is weird and even weirder that I remember our old phone number from when I was a child.. it was 259-5677.. I called it tonight.. after I read the questions.. I got some weird old guy that kept saying I was Sheena.. and that I should quit playing.. I almost got weird right back and play along with him.. But then he started talking about weird stuff and I hung up on him.. I am glad I have a private number.. wouldn't it be weird for some old guy to start calling me all the time?

2~] ~We go to an ice cream shop for a dish of ice cream . You are buying and I say "surprise me"... what kind of ice cream am I going to get? ~This is weird because this very thing happened to me in New Mexico.. They called it gelato but it seemed like ice cream to me.. I told Anthony to surprise me.. and he brought me a small dish of something that looked like Strawberry Ice cream.. I tasted it and it was wonderful.. sweet and full of strawberries.. then the heat hit my tongue and I took a gulp of my hot coffee to cool it down.. my weird son had bought me strawberry habanero gelato.. I loved it.. every time we went there I ordered it again.. the first bite was weird because I wasn't expecting the heat.. But I actually love hot food and weird as it may sound hot ice cream is good! On the other hand.. I would never be weird and get that for you.. I'd get you vanilla if you didn't say what you wanted..

3~] ~ With Halloween on the way a bunch of us are going to spend the night at a reportedly haunted location, are you going with us?~ Who told you this place was haunted?..someone I know or just some weirdo?... is it a bridge or a rail road track with a weird story about flashing your lights and seeing a headless person? Those weird stories aren't real.. Is it a house with weird sounds and sparkling spirits that move around in the darkness? Sure I'll go.. I'm not afraid of boogers.. In fact for some weird reason ghosts like me.. they open and close doors at my house all the time.. they ring wind chimes that have no breeze anywhere around them.. Maybe with a weirdo like me around the boogers really will come out so that all you people can get a look at them too.. But don't blame me when you get the bejesus scared out of you.. You're gonna feel weird riding home with shyster in your pants.. ( My daddy rarely cursed.. shyster was his word..
I don't think you have to be very weird to know what it means..)

4~]~ Has anyone ever wrote your name in a phone booth to call for a good time? Was it you? ~ No One ever called me for a good time.. well, there was this one guy.. but that was so long ago I almost forget his name.. he was a weirdo anyway.. It is weird though that someone once wrote my oldest sisters name in a phone booth up town and guys started calling her saying weird stuff.. she being the Church choir director didn't even understand what they were saying at first.. then she got all upset and wrote mama a note telling her what the man had said.. mama was weird too and said that Sis should tell them to call her mama.. I bet that would have been a weird phone call for the poor guy.. My Mom would have told him off.. I did write my own name on a bathroom wall at the beach one time when I was about fourteen.. If I got any weird calls Mama or Daddy answered the phone and since I didn't get a whipping I'm gonna say no weirdo's called.. It was only later that I realized that in order to be called I should have written it in the men's room... Maybe I can still be weird and have Dave write it for me next time we go to the beach.. Maybe I'll be really weird and give them YOUR number?!

5-]~Have you ever gotten a wrong number.. sexual toned..phone call and ended up talking to the person for longer than 5 minutes before you confessed that they had the wrong number? ~What is this.. weird phone calling night? I guess you could say that tonight when I got weird and called my old number was a wrong number.. and he sure was getting frisky thinking I was Sheena.. He kept saying I should quit playing like I didn't know what he liked.. That was weird.. he wanted to know who was my Daddy.. and a few other weird things.. then he said when Sheena got home Daddy was gonna spank her for being naughty and pretending she wasn't her.. that was about ten minutes into the conversation.. so yea I reckon I have talked more than five minutes to a weirdo with a wrong number.. What really makes it weird.. is that I told him that was my phone number when I was a kid... I just wondered if someone had it today..
He immediately got all weird and wild and said.. "Sheena Daddy ain't gonna play no weird games now baby.. you know what I like... go on and say it to me baby.." Yea It was weird.. I won't ever be calling that number again.. it makes me feel weird and nasty just thinking about it..

That's all of the weird questions for tonight.. I feel kinda weird that there wasn't a real sexual question in this lot.. But they were all weird as always.. Have a great weird Wednesday!

It's Another Wednesday... Weird from daylight until??!!

"The real problem is not whether machines think but whether men do."
~ B.F. Skinner

"What we're always looking for is weird social issues and weird connections to make. Luckily for them, there's no shortage of material." ~ Trey Parker

"When a woman is very, very bad, she is awful, but when a man is correspondingly good, he is weird." ~ Minna Antrim

Good afternoon and welcome to a weird day.. My day started off weird from the beginning when I got some weird E-mails this morning.. one just said.. "Papaya's" and another that said "acorn squash".. and Finally one that said ~ "you tell me!!"... they all had the same subject.. "what it is!"
It took me half the day to realize that they were guessing on the Tuesday blog... Then my phone rang seventeen times while I was talking to someone else on it.. from a number and name that neither Dave not I knew.. Dave tried to call them back with his cell and his cell died.. I mean really died as in ~had to break out an old phone~ died.. After I got off the phone I called them and said "hello this is Patsy.. you called me a number of times" .. They said "Yea do you have any job openings??" They had the wrong number.. even after I told them they had a private home they wanted to know if I was hiring... That was weird.. In fact this whole day has been weird.. a typical Wednesday!! So I'm going to move right on to the weird questions..

1:} ~Of all the things that you have, what is it that have the most of? ~ Wow can you see all the stuff I have? Are you peeping in at all my weird Junk? I have a lot of books and a lot of Tea sets... Would it be too weird if I just said junk? Yea? Well I have a lot of Dolls... I have a lot of Craft patterns and magazines.. I have a lot of Chickens and plants.. I have a lot of a lot of things I reckon.. BUT! The thing I have the most of would be Barbie and her type doll.. I love them.. I collect them.. I will accept them from strangers if they have some they need to get rid of.. I will buy them their own box or carrying case and give them a new name.. I will fix their twisted weird hair and set about building them a wardrobe of sewn or crocheted clothes.. I will buy them shoes and make them mini/ fake picnic baskets complete with food and drinks..I will talk to them when they are trying on their clothes... I will carry them one at the time in my purse.. They will go places like the grocery store and the beach.. They will go fishing and to the homes of my friends and family..to the doctor's office and the library and even to poetry club meetings.. I will crochet for them and pull them naked from my purse and try things on them to be sure that their clothes fit just them...Yes I know I am weird.. Now if you have any dolls Barbie sized or smaller that need a good home..and you will mail them to me.. I will be glad to have them...

2:}~ Natural garden flowers or a store-bought bouquet? I do love flowers.. I can tell you every store bought flower I ever got.. When Anthony was born a family friend ~Charlie~ asked where were my roses? Three hours later I got a dozen red roses from Baby-Daddy as if it was his idea all along.. It was weird to me.. Then on an anniversary years and years later all the co-workers at our job asked him where was my flowers.. At the end of the day just before quitting time.. here came the office manager with a bouquet of daisies and yellow roses..I remember thinking then that yellow roses meant goodbye... I always have weird thoughts.. But in that case I was right and we soon divorced.. Dave sneaked in my house and left me a bouquet of wild flowers with a gift box hidden inside.. I didn't find the ring box till he asked me to marry him and he had to dig the ring out of the bouquet.. Anthony and Myranda sent me purple carnations when I turned 40.. I saved the seeds and planted them to grow in my yard where they bloomed for a long time.. Anthony and Tana and Maya sent me a dozen roses on Valentines day one year... They were beautiful and I even rooted one of them.... Yes I am weird.. I will take a bought flower and try to make it grow again.. Dave often walks around and searches for something blooming in our yard to slip into a empty pickle jar or a cast off olive bottle and then set on the dresser beside my bed.. I often wake up to a flower or even a few times a weed.. But he cared enough to search for something to surprise me..OK! I got off on a weird ramble and almost forgot the question.. I choose natural garden flower... unless you want to buy me a living; growing; that I can plant in my garden plant.. Just get me some seeds..

3:}~ If you were in a situation where it was either starve to death or resort to cannibalism, would you resort to cannibalism to stay alive or let yourself starve? ~ I really don't plan on ever being in that weird situation.. Am I going to cook them in a big pot or just eat them raw? Do I have to kill them or did I survive a plane crash?? I'm fat... I can live a while.. I will watch the birds and see what they eat.. I will gnaw on leaves and/ or bark if there are trees near me.. I will eat snow.. I might even eat some weird exotic animal.. But I'm pretty sure if I tried to eat a person.. I'd throw him/her right back up... Of course who knows they might be good with some bark and bird seed dressing.. and a side of snow... Some days Y'all are really weird...

4:}~ Do you shop with or without a shopping list? Easy answer .. I know what I need and for some weird reason I just am able to remember things like that.. On the other hand if I have carried a list I usually don't get half of it.. either it's too expensive or I change my mind and get something else.. Yep.. I'm still weird!

5:}~ If you were given 20 acres of land and the money to develop it however you chose, what would you do with it? I guess it sounds weird but I have actually thought about this question... I'd build a water/ rock climbing/skate park..that used half of it.. because there is nothing fun for the kids in our town....unless they play baseball.... The other half I'd make available for people to come and grow food and flowers with me.. complete with secret paths ; wind chimes; fish ponds; fountains; and places to sit and think...I guess I'd just have more of what I already have on that ten acres..

6:}~If you could acquire a characteristic of one particular animal, what would it be?.. Man.. Just one animal? What if I want to be a mythical creature with parts from a bunch of different ones? Like maybe the roar of the lion and eye of an eagle? The speed of a cougar? And the smartness of a fox.. Oh wait.. I'm already sly....My kids say I am as stubborn as a mule .... I think as weird as it may sound.. I'll just pass on the animal thing altogether.. I would like that roar though!

Done!! Were you Shocked and surprised that there wasn't a single sexual in any way question here today.. That is truly weird ... almost scary in fact.. I am glad that today's weird questions won't frighten my readers and cause nightmares for my family... The place I used to get my questions from hasn't offered a new weird question in a couple of weeks.. Their last set was about the swingers lifestyle and that whole subject is way to weird for me... I'm way to mean and jealous to ever be a swinger... I'd be swinging from jail house bars.. I know.. I'm weird.. I know a lot of that goes on.. but I am way to weird for that.. call me weird if you want to..SEE! ... I'm about to get mad just from thinking about it..

Of course there are plenty of wild and wacky weird questions anywhere you look on-line... I think every weirdo ever born has a computer.. and those that don't; have a library card...

I am looking into some different themes and schemes and ideas for my blog.... so don't be surprised if I slip up and surprise you with something different.. Have a wonderful weird Wednesday..
Patsy

Another Weird Wednesday!

"Being 'weird' is one of the most best complements you could ever give someone. If no one in the world was weird, everything would be normal, and that's boring. Be different. Stand out. Be the sore thumb that got hammered a couple times by a heavy mallet. Be that sole bird that's flying in the exact opposite direction everyone else is and hasn't a clue it's winter." ~ Sarah Palermo

"People that are really very weird can get into sensitive positions and have a tremendous impact on history." ~ Dan Quayle

"Is it weird in here or is it just me?" ~ Stephen Wright


1. If your boss says, "I would like to talk to you about your Internet usage" what would your first reaction be? ~ Wow what an opening that would be.. I have kinda wanted to ask for permission to get on-line while I'm sitting there in the lobby waiting for a customer to come in or call. I haven't wanted to be told no so I have been just waiting for the right moment. They think I'm just a weird "OLD" Lady so they most likely don't think I know diddly squat about the Internet. I'm not sure they know diddly squat about the Internet. I do know they have AOL on the computer though.. I looked!.. I could offer to give him some blog time for the lodge huh? Maybe I'll use the office computer and give his Hotel a shout out on my blog!? I could maybe talk it up into an advertising scheme and get a few minutes every day. I might have to try that! They would be surprised at how well the internet and I get along... (For an Old Lady I mean!)

2. If your SO asks you "Does this make me look fat?" how do you answer? I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the "SO" stands for significant other. I hate that term. I don't have a significant other. I married Mine.. He's my Husband.. We have papers on each other. I wish Y'all could see me rolling around here laughing at the very idea of Dave asking me if something makes him look fat... He is very thin. I on the other hand would be more likely to know that everything makes me look fat because I am fat. Dave lies and says I'm not fat.. I know I am.. At least plump if not truly fat.. Dave fat... what a concept .. what a weird thought! I will be laughing about this till next week...

3. What is one thing that you pay for, but resent having to do so? I am stingy.. I hate having to pay for everything. I raise my own vegetables and put them in jars. I raise chickens so I don't have to pay for eggs. I even pickle eggs... and those chickens know I'll eat them too if they don't lay.. I tell them so every day.. I call them noodle soup or pot pie if they miss a day.... I reckon if I could only pick one thing I would say the Internet. I personally think it should be free. Maybe I could work something out with my boss......

4. A day is being created in honor of you. How should we celebrate it? If you really want to honor me you should take a whole day and spend it with someone you love.. Plant something if you can... A tree would be good but I'll settle for anything green... I love flowers too but please don't buy me dead ones.. ( and yes that includes all cut flowers!) I'd rather have a living growing maybe even, blooming plant or even a package of seeds. We could call it Patsy's weird planting day and a special prize could be bestowed upon who ever chooses the strangest planter. I have tires of all sizes and the tubs from washing machines and dryers, old mop buckets, coolers, Baskets and barrels, and even a couple of freezers all growing stuff here in my home made jungle!

5. What CD or Album in your music collection do you secretly enjoy, but would be embarrassed if others heard you grooving to it? I have nothing I am embarrassed by or ashamed to have.. Not music or a book or anything at all. If I was ashamed of it I wouldn't have it.. On the other hand I do still have all my Donny Osmond albums from my teen years. I used to be good at pulling them out when My children had friends over. They would roll their eyes and drag their friends away before the albums ever got to the good songs. I might even drag down the old record player and listen to them now that I have thought of them. A little " Down by the Lazy River" and a Little " He ain't heavy; He's my Brother" might be just what I need tonight.

6. How long do you think you would last if you were a contestant on Survivor? I have often wondered that very same thing. I would never have tried before because I smoked but I haven't smoked now in so long I almost forgot that I used to. I could make fire.. yes I know a trick.. I am not afraid of hard work and I am pretty smart about plants ' I know not to eat anything that the birds don't eat..... I am also a normally well liked person... I am good with puzzles and trick questions... I am funny so that might get me a day or two extra. The bugs and snakes I wouldn't mind but it would be my luck I would be put down some where that has rats. Me and rats don't like each other. I can swim but I am not a great swimmer.. Hold on~ can I get on "Big Brother House" instead? They have peanut butter on there. I can back-stab and bull shit with the best of them.. and I bet there are no Mice in the "Big Brother House!" I might even be too plump for Survivor. I'm sure that the rag they all wear for a top is going to make me look fat! I wouldn't want to look fat on national TV now would I? Maybe I'll just pass on the contestant thing all around!

Well there you go.. I have answered all the weirdness questions for today. I personally have had a rather long and tiring day and have planned an early night. I have listened to two of my old Osmond albums and have quiet enjoyed thinking about how my children and my nieces and nephews use to consider it a terrible punishment to be made to listen to these wonderful sounds of music. I have heard music where I actually understood the words. That is a novelty in this day and age.. They also wrote songs with more than just the repetitive sounds of two or three words back then. I'm going to leave the record player out.. One of the children or grand children might happen by and I will play my records for them.. I bet they will run! How weird is that? Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Patsy

Wednesday Weirdness!

"Where's your will to be weird? " ~ Jim Morrison

"Some are born weird, some achieve it, others have weirdness thrust upon them."
~ Dick Francis

“We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose

weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness

and call it love.”~ Santiz

This will be my first try at Wednesday Weirdness. I had checked out the sight and thought about trying it many times but today decided to actually just dive right in and do this after one of My co-workers said to me... " Patsy, you are so delightfully weird!!!".. I took it as a compliment and immediately decided that I would try the Wednesday Weirdness questions for today and maybe make it a regular part of my blog. Please be sure and let me know how you..( the ones who read my blog)... like this new thing! If Y'all hate it I'll toss it. The way it works is that someone else makes up the questions and we bloggers answer them on our blogs. I have been told that the questions vary and that sometimes they might even be a little bit racy! WOW! I might have to skip some of the really racy ones. I wouldn't want y'all to see me blush! Besides my Mama and my kids read this. They would be mortified if I answered some of those questions for all the world to see. Also this first time I am going to choose questions from several different weeks to answer. After all this is my first weird Wednesday! Here goes my first weird Wednesday questions!

1:) What is the most annoying commercial on the air right now? I Hate the smiling Bob ~enzyte commercial. I hate the fact that they use a Figure (Santa) who appeals to children to sell a sexual enhancement drug. I will turn the channel and not watch it. There are actually a few that I hate but I think I hate smiling Bob the worst. I know it airs late and most children are in bed but still... I hate it!

2:) How long do you think could you disappear for until someone would notice your absence and start looking for you? I actually tried that once a long, long time ago. It is part of what convinced me to marry my beloved Dave! I was dating someone else. Dave and I were neighbors and very good friends.. he was my best friend I just didn't know that then!.. He was doing his very best to become everything I ever needed in a man and hoping to be my next husband... I had been having a lot of issues with my health and it seemed that my life was falling apart again. I was lonely all the time except when I was with Dave and our slew of children... I was in a relationship that I knew was going no where at all and yet I didn't want to hurt any one.... I was sick and tired~ of being sick and tired! I decided to vanish for a week or so. I loaded up my two youngest children and away we went to a State Park about one and a Half hours away. I stayed the first week.. having pre-arranged with Dave to call him at my house every night so he could let me know if anyone was looking for me. My Parents I had told where I would be.. I even borrowed their cooking tent. Not a living soul looked for me. I decided to stay another week.. After all. I apparently wasn't needed at home! The Guy I was dating came by once and asked Dave if he had seen me that week... Dave didn't lie when he said no, since I had by then been gone longer than a week.. Just after daylight on the ninth day I heard horns blowing and children laughing. I came out of my tiny dome tent to see Dave and his two children along with another couple, who were our friends, pulling into my campsite. Dave said he couldn't stand it any longer. He had convinced the other couple to come along to help convince me to come back home. Being that I had already paid for the whole week, we had a great group vacation and only a few weeks later Dave and I got married. I don't think I could be gone for more than a few minutes now though before Dave would call my cell phone and ask~ " Hey Baby where you at?"

3:) If you could have the ability to solve problems quickly and easily or the ability to know without doubt every time a person told a lie, which ability would you want and why? First I want to say that I am pretty good at reading between the lines. A lot of people who have told me lies about things would be surprised to know that I knew they were telling me a lie even as they stood in front of me with a smile on their lips and made up a ball faced lie for no good reason. I hate a person who will lie to me. Daddy used to say that anyone who would lie ~ would steal; and vice versa. He also hated liars and thieves! My thing is, and I used to tell this to the young people who would come in and out of my life through my kids.. If I ask you something that you feel the need to lie to me about.. please don't lie.. Just look me in the eye and say.. " Miss Patsy, I would rather not say!" I will accept that as warning that it is none of my business and and move on to another topic... I wouldn't want to cause you to lie. I do know people though who just love to lie. At least that's the way it appears. They will lie about insignificant things. If I ever catch someone in a lie.. I never quite trust what they say again.
~ I would rather have the ability to solve problems quickly and easily. I can right now think of quite a few things I would fix if I could. A few for myself but mostly for other people in my life. So many people have problems that seem to be new to our world. No jobs~ everywhere people trying to find work. Violence and anger in families. Brothers and sisters who don't speak even if they pass each other on the street. Parents and children who haven't spoken in years. I really worry a lot about the problems our children and Grand-children will face. ~ Yea I'd take the problem solving ability any time..... after all.. if a person feels the need so strongly to tell me a lie.. maybe I shouldn't have asked the question.. and if I had the problem solving ability.. I could maybe even fix his little lie telling problem... (smile!)

I only chose three questions for my first try at Wednesday Weirdness. I tried to pick out questions that maybe you would find interesting... If you would like to visit their sight I have included a link for you. Please check them out for yourself. Maybe you will see a question there that you would like for me to answer. Maybe you have a question of you own that you would like for me to answer. If you do then feel free to send it along to me..
Have a wonderful Wednesday!
Patsy
