Sunday Stealing: Never Have I Ever
1. Have you ever had chicken pox?
A. I had them when I was a wee lass.
2. Have you ever shopped in Home Depot?
A. Yes, I have, but I do my best not to.
3. Have you ever spied on your neighbors?
A. I see them out and I wave. Does that count?
4. Have you ever ridden in a limo?
A. No, I have not.
5. Have you ever had a pet fish?
A. When I was very small we had an aquarium. I barely remember it.
6. Have you ever lied about your age?
A. Not that I ... oh, wait. I had a fake ID when I was young. So yes, I suppose I did.
7. Have you ever fired a gun?
A. Yes. I have good aim, too.
8. Have you ever been ice skating?
A. Yes, and on a real pond, even. It is not as much fun on a real pond as it looks in the movies; there are bumps and frozen sticks and lots of things to throw you down.
9. Have you ever played golf?
A. I've played Putt-Putt golf. Does that count?
10. Have you ever hidden on Halloween because you had no candy for trick or treaters?
A. We never have trick-or-treaters. Too rural and too far off the road.
11. Have you ever made a prank call?
A. I'm sure I did when I was younger, way back before caller ID.
12. Have you ever gotten a tattoo?
A. No. I have lots of scars, though.
13. Have you ever had a massage?
A. Yes, and they are wonderful.
14. Have you ever locked your keys in the car?
A. True story. Way back around 1986, on the first day of hunting season, I locked my keys in the car while I was working on an article for the newspaper. My husband was working at the fire station, and in those days, if you had to leave, the rule was you had to take the entire day for your vacation. He had to come and rescue me, and all of the firefighters said it was really a trick so he could have the day off to go hunting. It wasn't, but he wasn't all that unhappy about having to rescue me, either.
15. Have you ever ridden a horse?
A. My mother had a horse when I was a child. We also had a pony, which bolted with me on it. I fell off and cracked a rib and refused to get back on the animal. Not long after that my parents decided horses required too much care and they sold them.
16. Have you ever been to the circus?
A. A very long time ago, when I was a child.
17. Have you ever been to Europe?
A. I have been to Spain and France.
18. Have you ever built a fire?
A. Yes. We have a fireplace. I grew up with a fireplace. I was splitting wood well before I hit my tweens.
19. Have you ever been skydiving?
A. No, but I have been up in a hot air balloon. May I have points for that?
20. Have you ever bought something at a garage sale?
A. Of course.
21. Have you ever walked in on someone having sex?
A. Probably my parents but I don't really recall any particular incident.
22. Have you ever faked an injury to get out of something?
A. I had a mole removed from my chest when I was very young. It left a huge scar. In middle school, I told the gym teacher I couldn't do much physical education exercises because I'd had heart surgery, and I showed her my scar. She believed me and I frequently sat out the very sweat-inducing portions of PE.
23. Have you ever been to a nude beach?
A. No, nor do I have any desire to visit one.
24. Have you ever received a speeding ticket?
A. No, I have not.
25. Have you ever run a marathon?
A. Some mornings just managing to dress and prepare myself for the day is like a marathon. But the answer to the question is no, I have not.

Saturday 9: Don't Talk to Strangers
Saturday 9: Don't Talk to Strangers (1982)
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) When did you recently have a conversation with a complete stranger? What did you two discuss?
A. Thursday I had a bad conversation with a sales clerk. It wasn't her fault that I had to walk all over an entire JC Penny store to find someone to take my money, but by the time I found her, I was tired and pretty pissed. This is the third time I've had to hobble all over JCP to find a clerk, and I told the woman I didn't want her credit card, didn't want her rewards, I just wanted to check out and get out of there and I was never coming back. Then I came home and sent an email to the manager, who had written me in June apologizing for the exact same problem after I tweeted about it. I used to love JCP, and they were my go-to store. Now I don't have a go-to store. I think I need to find a seamstress to make my clothes.
2) In the video for this song, a woman is having a "hot" conversation on a corded, rotary dial phone in her bedroom. Do you have a landline? If so, do you have an extension in your bedroom?
A. We do have a landline. In fact, the extension in our bedroom is still a ROTARY phone. It has push buttons but it connects via the rotary part of the phone system, which apparently is still in place, and thus is the only phone that still works when the power is out but the phone systems are not. When you dial from that phone, you can still hear that rotary sound that phones used to make in the line. It goes "clack clack clack" as you dial.
3) This week's artist, Rick Springfield, says he wrote this song when he was worried that his girlfriend (now his wife) would cheat on him when he was touring. Would you describe yourself as suspicious or trusting?
A. Trusting.
4) He became a daytime heartthrob as Dr. Noah Drake on General Hospital. Do you think it would be cool to have a really attractive doctor? Or would it make you uncomfortable?
A. Usually when I am seeing a doctor I am sick so I really don't pay a lot of attention to what he or she looks like. Actually, the guy who took out my gallbladder was fairly nice looking but he had a miserable bedside manner and he did a crappy job on my surgery and has left me mauled for life. I care more about the competency than the looks.
5) He's discussed how sad he was when, as a boy, he had to leave his dog Elvis behind when the family left Australia. While you were growing up, did your family often move?
A. We moved five times before I left home for good. My husband and I have moved three times in 34 years (the last time in 1987). My parents moved when I was a baby and I don't remember that, then again when I was seven, and again when I nine, and again when I was thirteen. I might be a little off on the ages and time frames. My father remains in that last house.
6) In 1982, when this song was popular, Italy won the World Cup. Do you ever watch soccer?
A. No.
7) "Smiley," the first emoticon, was introduced in 1982. Do you use emoticons in your communication? Or do you avoid them?
A. Mostly I avoid them but sometimes I remember they exist and use them.
8) The Vietnam Memorial was dedicated in Washington, DC, in 1982. Do you know any veterans of that conflict? If so, tell us about him or her.
A. I probably do, but no one comes to mind at the moment. While that war framed my first 10 years of life, afterwards, aside from Granada, I don't remember much about wars until we invaded Kuwait. I am a pacifist by nature, so while I read the news and am up on current events, I tend not to dwell on those kinds of things.
9) Random Question: Your friends are throwing a birthday "roast" in your honor. Which one quality of yours are you sure will be singled out for laughs?
A. My sarcastic and quick wit. Everyone comments on it, so I can't imagine that it wouldn't be something someone would note.

Seeing Rainbows
These were taken with my Nikon P500. I also took some with my new iPhone SE, but I can't figure out how to get them to the computer.

2. The Apple Orchard, by Susan Wiggs
3. Love Letters, by Debbie Macomber
4. Black Beauty, by Anna Sewell

I went through a spate of reading children's books early in the year, when things were feeling dire and I needed some comfort reading.
These are not all of the books I have read this year. I am not reading as much as I once did, but I still read a great deal.
_________
Thursday Thirteen is played by lots of people; there is a list here if you want to read other Thursday Thirteens and/or play along. I've been playing for a while and this is my 517th time to do a list of 13 on a Thursday.

Butting Heads
I caught these two young bucks going head to head outside my window the other day. I think they were more playing than fighting, and it didn't last long.

Remembering the 343
For the 343 firefighters who died on 09/11/2001 in New York City.
Firefighters do a job that most people wouldn't dream of doing. They risk their lives every single time they go to work. When you are running away in fear, they are putting on their hats and heading off to face down whatever it is you are afraid of. Tornadoes, hurricanes, fire, flood, derecho winds, downed power lines or a terrorist attack do not halt these dedicated people. They go forward when the rest of us would hang back.
Like other public servants, emergency service workers have been attacked by various political sectors in recent years. How anyone can deny these brave men and women a livelihood in exchange for running into a burning structure is beyond me.
On this anniversary of the attack on New York City, please remember the sacrifices of firefighters and other emergency services workers. They go where no one else dares to go.
You might want to say thank you to them, too. You never know when the life they save might be yours.

Sunday Stealing: Let's Pretend
Sunday Stealing: Let's Pretend
1. What is your middle name?
A. Puddin' 'n' 'tane. Ask me again, I'll tell you the same.
2. What is your favorite color?
A. Answer me these questions three, 'er the other side ye see. Blue. No. Green.
3. What’s your lucky number?
A. Eight. No, six. Damn.
4. Do you have any pets?
A. I have 70 cows. Moo. Moo. Moo.
5. Where are you from?
A. I am from the green banks of Ireland,
from kettles filled with 'taters
and Celtic blues sung softly to the stars.
I am from the cabins of Virginia settlers,
folks who ventured to a new world
with only a Bible and a banjo.
I am from mothers with fey dreams
who know you're dying long before you do,
and from fathers who drink first,
fight later, and leave bloody prints
on the shores of their wives' beaches.
I am from a reverend who owned
whore houses and from grandparents
who set the West Virginia woods afire
while they made love.
I am from Mother Mary and the Mother Goddess
and Jesus Christ on a stick. I'm from the Shenandoah,
the slow-moving creek, oak trees and blackberries,
peaches and wine.
I am from the fires of World Wars and from spindles
that made thread, and needles that wheedled
thread into cloth that shone like gold.
From all this and more, am I; I am from black dresses,
red hair, cancers and heartache, from tombstones
and graves and moonshine whiskey
made from copper pipes.
My line stops with me; my womb yawns
like an empty cavern, barren and fruitless,
nothing will come forth to let another know
the necessity of the past,
to make it her own, to say to her,
"This is where you're from."
6. How tall are you?
A. Five foot two, eyes of blue, and she's only 22! (Not.)
7. What shoe size are you?

9. What was your last dream about?
A. Something to do with ripe tomatoes and dragons.

11. Are you psychic in any way?
A. I knew you were going to ask that question.
12. Favorite song?
A. Polk Salad Annie.
13. Favorite movie?

A. Not really.
17. Have you ever met any celebrities?
A. Lots of politicians.
17. What color socks are you wearing?
A. White. I think I have a red neck, too.
18. Have you ever been famous?
A. I suppose by some I was considered a local celebrity when I was writing for the newspaper. Lots of folks knew my byline, anyway.
20. Would you like to be a big celebrity?
A. Not now, no. Well, I wouldn't mind being a well-known author.
21. What type of music do you like?
A. Adult Contemporary.
22. How many pillows do you sleep with?
A. Four, plus my hsuband's two, so six.
23. What position do you usually sleep in?

Saturday 9: Sign of the Times
Saturday 9: Sign of the Times (2017)
. . . because Cat recommended Harry Styles
Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this song, Harry sings, "We don't talk enough, we should open up before it's all too much." When you have something serious on your mind, who do you share it with?
A. My husband, usually. I also have a few friends I talk to. And sometimes I use Eliza. Ever used Eliza? Here's a link. Check her out. She was the first computer therapist. If that doesn't work, then I bitch in my journal. Sometimes I might even share something serious with the world by writing it on this blog.
2) As a kid, Harry wanted to be a lawyer because he can see "both sides." Are you good at seeing both sides of an argument?
A. I am. It comes from being a news reporter, from training, and from just being me. I had to learn to keep myself out of situations, stand back and watch, and not form an opinion. Of course, I usually had an opinion - kind of hard to live in the world without one - but I kept it to myself and out of my work.
3) He can't decide which is favorite color -- orange or blue. Help Harry out: which of those colors do you prefer?
A. Blue.
4) Harry says he prefers older women, but would never go out with someone older than his mother. Do you think age disparity matters in romance?
A. To a point. I have a friend in her late 50s who has a husband in his early 80s; she's kind of stuck being a nurse now. But when he was 50 and she was 30, it didn't seem like such a big deal. My husband and I are only four years apart; I don't think that matters at all.
5) He admits to a big crush on Adele, who is six years older than he is. Who are you crushing on right now? (It doesn't have to be a celebrity.)
A. I have a girl crush on Wonder Woman from the movie. And maybe one on Supergirl on the CW.
6) It makes Harry's skin crawl when he sees people use their teeth to open bottles. What creeps you out?
A. Snakes. Actually, being in public any more is kind of creepy. People are so angry at everything. And they have germs. Germs creep me out.
7) When he's on the road, his go-to food is tacos. Do you like Mexican food?
A. No, I do not.
8) Harry has never smoked. Have you ever been a smoker? If you quit, how did you successfully kick the habit?
A. Never smoked, so never had a habit to kick. I do wish they had chocolate patches like they do nicotine patches. It would help.
9) Random Question: As she pulls out of her parking space, an elderly woman in an old car scrapes an expensive car. Then she drives away. You witness the whole thing. Do you make a note of her license plate and leave it for the owner of the expensive car? Or do you just mind your own business?
A. That's a tough question. I think I'd write down the license plate, if I were quick enough to think to get it, and then examine the damage. If it doesn't look to bad (a little ding) I would probably go on my way and mind my own business. But if it looked serious (fender is off), I hope I would hang around and tell the person that I saw what happened and give the number. Failing the hanging around part, I hope I would leave a note. But you never know how you're really going to respond to such things. I mean, I might be having a really bad day and be in a hurry or something. That shouldn't impact "doing the right thing" but it does.

These questions rolled across my Facebook page this morning. So I thought I'd answer them here for today's TT so I wouldn't have to think so hard early in the morning.
1. What was the last thing you put in your mouth?
A. My medication and some water.
2. Where was your profile pic taken?
A. That is a crop from photo taken in 2012 during the county artists' tour. One of my former teachers from college is on the other side of me. A Hollins student who was helping the professor took the photo with my camera.
3. Worst pain you've ever experienced?
A. Surgical pain.
4. Favorite place you've traveled to?
A. Williamsburg, Virginia, as an adult. When I was 12 I saw the Grand Canyon and was quite transfixed by that. I would like to take my husband to see it.
5. Which of your Facebook friends live closest to you?
A. My husband's cousins live right across the road.
6. When was the last time you cried?
A. About two weeks ago when I had a reaction to some medication that made me sick.
7. Who took your profile photo?
A. See above. I don't know the name.
8. Who was the last person you took a picture with?
A. I generally do not have my picture taken with people, so I don't recall. Probably with my husband somewhere.
9. What's your favorite season?
A. It's a tie between Autumn and Spring.
10. If you could have any career, what would it be?
A. I'd just like to be a multi-millionaire and forego the career, at this point in my life.
11. Do you think relationships are ever worth it?
A. Of course. All of them are, even the bad ones. If you don't learn something from a bad relationship, that one is on you.
12. If you could talk to ANYONE right now who would it be?
A. Someone from the year 9595.
13. Are you a good influence?
A. I hope so. I mean, I don't go torching houses or causing trouble. I don't drink or smoke. Somebody reads my words and I hope sometimes they are influential.
And, because this is not the best TT ever, here's a picture of a fawn:
