Okay, I see you are from the Mother Country, so when you say chips, I’m pretty sure that is our French Fries. How did I do?   I know it is not easy to say “French” for your people.  Lol ( I rented a car and scooted around your beautiful island a long time ago. Very beautiful country indeed.) 

Hi @Spock

Yes, chips is the same as French Fries. My mother's ancestors originate from France, so although it would be bonkers for me to call myself French, I do speak a fair bit of French. Although it is very rusty now. I think I could pick it up again quite easily if I lived over there, but its difficult to do so when you're not surrounded by the language it is that you want to improve on.

1. Dog - Golden Retrievers
2. Listen as I have a reading disability of sorts - takes me a long time to read
3. Getting the dog hair off the rugs
4. Don't know where my name came from, to be honest.
5. Hamburg and beans

 

I love Golden Retrievers too. At one time a friend offered me a dalmatian pup, if her dog ever had pups.I never got one, but the idea sounded fun.

Yard work on a slope definitely doesn't sound fun. Well done for doing it.

Yeah, living in GB, I would keep my French ancestry a secret too. Lol

 I thought it may be fun to ask five questions that would be easy to answer.  I will try to keep the questions general enough that people feel free to answer too.

I am happy to start, with my answers to the questions.  I look forward to reading your answers to these questions. 

 

1. What is your favorite animal?

1. What is your favorite animal?

Dog

2. Would you rather read a book or listen to a book being read?

I will occasionally listen to audio books, but I prefer to read them. I'm old fashioned that way.

3. What chore takes you the longest?

A uncle who died as a child.

5. What is your favorite meal?

Pepperoni and pineapple pizza. And yes pineapple does go on pizza.

I had never given thought to a chore being something for women to do.  But some housework truly is a CHORE!

It's been a long time since I had pineapple on a pizza. I love it too.

Lol that was just some tongue and cheek humor playing on old school stereotypes. We all know, the  wife is a man's biggest chore....;)

Fun topic, Annnette... I'm enjoying reading all the answers, too! 

1.  I love dogs for their faithfulness, horses for their strength and endurance, elk for their gracefulness in spite of their size, hummingbirds for their speed, cats for their watchfulness, and many more.  Animalss are awesome teachers!   Too hard to choose a favorite. 

2.  I love to read real books with a pencil in my hand so that I can add comments. 

3.  This time of year, yard work takes longer than any other chore--especially trimming and weeding.

4.  I'm not really sure why my parents chose my name.  It's very easy to spell with only two letters, but people misspell it all the time.  ? 

5.  I could eat a good taco salad every day and never get tired of it.  

I enjoyed reading your answers, especially the reason you give for liking different animals.

Thanks for sharing.
