The Morning Dawdle: Wild Aloha!
and FOTD – Cee’s Flower of the Day
It’s Monday morning and what better a time for pictures of flowers — and answering questions — than right now?
Who do you think you might be in an alternate universe?
About half the people living in the U.S. seem to not only be in an alternate universe, but appear to be on a different planet in another system. It’s a little baffling when you spend a lifetime dealing with one society only to find you have gotten old and life in your native land seems bizarre and unfamiliar. I know I’m not alone in feeling like this, but it’s a very peculiar way to feel. I feel displaced. Maybe I’m the one in an alternate universe.
What would be the most surreal situation you could imagine finding yourself in?
I think I’m already there.
You won!! You have five minutes for a Supermarket Dash in the FoodHall – what will you fill your trolley/shopping cart with?
Honestly, I have no idea. We are so lacking in storage space that we buy carefully, even when things are on sale because if we don’t, there’s no place to put the food. Maybe things that don’t go bad like birdseed, dog kibble, flour, rice, dried beans. I think we’d have to get an AWFUL lot of that stuff, so maybe that’s not practical either. Could they just give us money instead?
You have 60 minutes to hide 50 million in hard currency in your house. Where would you put the money/cash to avoid detection?
Sew it in a giant fabric bag and use it as a beanbag chair or sofa. There’s nowhere else to PUT it. Did I mention we have no storage space? We REALLY have no storage space. No kidding.

Thanks Cee. It’s nice when things bloom as the winter-that-wasn’t draws to a close. I have to be careful. Usually when one of us says this, there’s huge blizzard on the way.

Lovely flowers, Marilyn. I love how you always make me laugh at the end of your posts, even when their subject is very serious.

Thank you Roberta. I try to be — if not hilarious — than at least amusingly ironic.

The whole world is fast becoming an alternative place, and rumour has it will get worse…

I often wonder at what point I fell through the cracks of reality and landed here. I’m not even sure where “here” is anymore. I mean, I can find it on a map, but that doesn’t mean much. Besides. I’m sure some cabal-mongers out there are denying the reality of maps, too. Why not? Nothing else is “real,” so let’s dispute geography. After that, let’s attack ARITHMETIC!

We seem to be doing the opposite. Closing ranks and doors, settling in for the long haul. The world can leave us alone for a change…

Jaye and Anita, no happy Hollywood ending in sight here. Not unless you’re on a parallel planet and there are no guarantees there.

Our world has shrunk to our home and garden. What happens out there, hopefully stays out there…

Good answers Marilyn and l agree, l sometimes think l am already on an alternate reality plane here in the UK. Extra large bean bags is awesome and yes give me the money instead was my first response as well 🙂

A lot of the time, I look at the prizes on game shows and think “What in the world would I DO with that?” I’m not going to be sunning myself in Aruba or flying halfway around the world to Hawaii, so just send a check. THAT I can use!

Love your idea to sew the money up in a fabric bag! ❤

It was the only thing I could think of. But not to worry, thieves always cut open cushions and anything where money might be hiding. It’s sounds good, but any thief would find it.

Yup. Definitely. We’ve gone from crazy to out of this world nuts. I keep wondering where the country I grew up in has gone.

Our little battery-operated Robbie just falls on his face. I’m sure that’s an analogy for something — but what?

Skip the analogy, take the trip. Robbie’s waiting with two wheelchairs.

I think it’s more to do with how the thinking of the people/ society has flipped as a whole.
