I’m late today but better late than never. Thanks Sadje the prompt of “generosity.” Thanks Linda for hosting. Let’s get going.
Generosity in word and deed is one of the best gifts we can give each other. I remember my dad as being one of the most generous people I know. He never met a stranger and was always there with a helping hand. I credit his momma, our grandma for raising him and his brothers to be that way.
As always more to come.
Melanie our host with the most has given us some questions from Evil Squirrel (ES). She is SAD as this is ES’s last hurrah on #SYW. As a person who is scared of squirrels, I say they are evil too though truth be told, this one is more fun than evil from what I can tell. Now here we go …
QUESTIONS (NEWEST AND FINAL E.S. BATCH FROM DECEMBER 2021)
Ricky “The Pious” Raccoon asks a two parter: (12-2-2021)
What frivolous, but annoying thing that people do be considered a sin (crime)?
Oh lordy, who am I to judge that? Stay in your lane as you do you AND as long as you don’t impact me or my family, happying sinning 🙂
And how should violators be made to repent (be punished) for it? Punishment by flogging … always by flogging. Ahoy matey! Shiver me timbers.

Mary “The Poster Lamb For Cute” (12-9-2021) asks
Imagination IN and impracticality and logic aside, if you could pick one animal to have as an exotic pet based solely on how cute and adorable it is, what would it be? Hmm, I don’t want exoitc, I just want my doggies. But if forced to pick, I’ll take Teagan’s Tatu Pinkerton aka Fang. HERE is the episode where she used the three things I suggested. Read ’em all though, you’ll be intrigued.

Do you have any siblings? Yes
If so, where do you rank in birth order? Depends on who you ask … lol – I’m a boss baby 🙂
And do you think either of these facts contributed to the person you became? I think so … siblings or no siblings, oldest, middle, or youngest, create varied experiences that make us who we are BUT it’s only one part of a much more complicated system. I’m also my friends and yes I would jump off the same bridge they did … if they did … because I’m a follower. I also have teachers/mentors/etc… all of whom I modeled to become the best me!

12-23-2021 ZAC (short for Prozac because his somewhat maniacal grinning face is rather creepy)…
We all have things that make us happy, but what makes you deliriously, giddily, tail wagging-ly happy? Getting a good night’s sleep and waking up refreshed and fully rested.

Evil Squirrel (and the final question from E.S. “Nest” o’ fun!) 12-30-2021
If you had an alter ego, who or what would it be? Describe some fun or interesting things about them! Well, you’ve no idea but my social experiment had me create an alt account. It’s a thing y’all. I’m by no means the first to figure this out but as I’m still in the middle of a sticky wicket, tis all I can say. This question reminds of the Alter Ego game show – singers compete with Avatars that were revealed in person if they didn’t get picked to stay on the diamond. People really do judge a book by their covers. For shame ….
GRATITUDE SECTION (ALWAYS OPTIONAL)
What are some hopes or accomplishments you’d like to see happen in 2022? Survive until 2023. So far this is looking promising for me … god willing and the creek don’t rise or the vid don’t get me first. Yet another friend caught it, his 2nd bout but this time mild symptoms whereas last time six days of hard times. And he was vaccinated which as I’m told only means, you have less chance of dying or being hospitalized but the jab is not guaranteed immunity.
I have convinced myself, I will get the vid … no longer IF but WHEN. So many cases and no one saying specifically how/when/where. Contract tracing … huh? what? Example, B’s aunt, uncle, cousin, et al from a Christmas Eve Party (they think) having confirmed by at home test, one of the last few on the shelves. Everyone in the fam is positive except little brother who was also immune late time this virus ripped through the house. Ya see, another example of twice to our not yet. But I’m not a doctor, I only play one on TV. <cough, cough> my throat is scratchy. But I kid, I kid … even though this isn’t funny. RIP Brenda, Angie, John …
As always, more to come.
