Share Your World – July 3, 2017
For your main meal do you prefer sweet and sour, hot and spicy, spicy and sweet, bitter, salty, bland or other?
I’ll eat anything except anchovies, olives and anything else that’s both slimy, fishy, and salty.
Barbecue in the yard
What I eat depends on what I’ve got in the house to cook and my mood. Today, because it’s burn and blow’em up day, it’s going to be charcoal broiled meat, probably overcooked.
Where do you hide junk when people come over?
I no longer have junk to hide. Garry, on the other hand …
What daily habit would you like to introduce to your life?
I wish I had something to contribute here, but really, I don’t. I’m okay with life. Short of health returning — the miracle for which I wait — life’s pretty good. Mostly. On the whole.
If you were to perform in the circus, what would you do?
I would have to be a flying trapeze performer. It was up there with cowboy and ballerina for my first professional choices. For what I think are obvious reasons, this is not likely to happen.
It was never likely to have happened at any time in my life, but when I was a wee one, I dreamed of flying from one trapeze to another. I think the magic word was “flying.” I still dream of flying, though sometimes, I also dream of falling.

Apparently to perform in that trapeze act you also have to sport a turn of the century mustache, which I’m not sure would be becoming of you. Lion tamer might be more up your alley, I hear they really love dog biscuits and will perform any trick for one….. the lions, not the tamers.

I would just want to cuddle the lions. I’d overfeed them and they would get morbidly obese. All they would do is lie around the sofas and snore. They’d go outside only when we yelled at them and loll around the kitchen waiting for treats. And they are so big, they could do whatever they want. But burglars would probably not be a problem.
You don’t think I’d look good in a mustache? It would certainly be DIFFERENT.

I’m game for just about anything EXCEPT peas and lima beans. Hate ’em. Pass the anchovies, please.
Junk? — kick it under the table or bed.
Circus? — I’ve already cleaned up elephant dump, rode an elephant, played a clown, shilled a little 3 card monte and “tamed” a lion. I’m ready for the hire wire act with Gina Lollabrigdia. (sp?)

High wire. Right. And worst of all, you’d probably DO it. Sometimes, you make me really nervous.

I do believe that horseback riding use to be part of the circus.

Yes. Usually involving standing up while riding on one of the Percherons … huge horses with a very smooth gate and a flat back. They breed them locally, here.

You can’t be dissing olives. Olives rock 🙂

I know, I know. When I lived in Israel, the whole society oppressed me for not liking olives. The moment anyone said open your mouth and close your eyes, I KNEW they would stick an olive in there. They were SURE if I just ate the right one I would love it. I didn’t.

DUH! it’s a joke Mar, a line from one of the Loony Toons cartoons.., of course we all know he has wings, which is what makes it funny.., unspoken, unexplained funny.

I know it is. And have you ever seen Daffy — or for that matter, Donald — fly? They have wings, but they do not fly. They walk. Everywhere. Oh, yeah. And talk, too.

…. and the one thing they share in common, in the flapping category, is not wings but bills. They’re a pretty noisy pair… yak, yak, yak.., or is that quack, quack, quack if you can call that talking? Good thing they work for different companies , Warner and Disney, or we’d never hear the end of it. I wouldn’t want to be near Daffy in one of his talkative moods for fear of being Sthprayed. Donald is just plain irritating.
