Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

QUESTION OF THE WEEK 03-01-2021
What is something you have tried really hard to like but just couldn't?
Democrats. Try as I might, I cannot find one good thing about the party in general to like/tolerate about them. Long time Republican who has been living in a Democrat controlled state for 30+ years. In my entire life, I've actually found one local Democrat I can support, but beyond that, there is nothing else that they do that I can support.
Exercise. I do not hate it, but have to reward myself with the TV on to a mundane and easy to follow show. I have been watching all seven years of Gilmore Girls and will have to look for something new soon. (Regarding the post above, I like SOME Republicans.)
Cooked greens, like turnip greens, mustard greens, and collard greens. There was a time when i didn't mind them cooked, then i ate them when pregnant and got so very sick that now i can only eat them raw in salads.
By the way, i will tell my Bigger Girl about peanut butter and mustard. She, like one of the great uncles, loves mustard (he used to eat it on everything, even his ice cream).
I love your answer, Annie-- and your courage in expressing it. Me? I can't think of anything specific that doesn't make me sound like an old curmudgeon. Oh wait.... Uh....
I think political correctness is something I've tried to at least understand but can't. In fact "political correctness" seems like an oxymoron to me. I bet Dr Seuss would agree.

ReplyDeleteNow President is attempting to ban Dr.Seuss for racial undertones.!!! What is happening to us?
DeleteExercise. I do not hate it, but have to reward myself with the TV on to a mundane and easy to follow show. I have been watching all seven years of Gilmore Girls and will have to look for something new soon. (Regarding the post above, I like SOME Republicans.)
ReplyDeleteSo funny. I won't start a new series or special TV show until I have completed my exercise and my household chores. Those shows are then my rewards.
DeleteChurch.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up a preacher's daughter, never thought I would dislike church so much. I don't trust churches at all but I do have very deep faith.
DeleteTomato sauce on Italian food. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteHa, ha, ha..I am spaghetti with canned sauce today.
DeleteConstant music. I know that it is an essential for many people but I prefer silence (or nature's songs).
ReplyDeleteOh dear, I have to have my music playing.
DeleteBeets!
ReplyDeleteI did not like beets until I tried them enough and now I love them.
DeleteTom Cruise!
ReplyDeleteYou and me both. He's a creeper.

Popeye told me to eat my spinach so I do, but not that other green stuff.
DeleteThat’s easy. Natto. It’s supposed to be healthy for you, but I just can’t love it.
ReplyDeleteI had to look it up and it certainly does not sound very appealing.
DeleteAvocado, I really hate the feel of it in my mouth.
ReplyDeleteI do love avocado. It is better with a chip or a cracker.
DeleteI love your answer, Annie-- and your courage in expressing it. Me? I can't think of anything specific that doesn't make me sound like an old curmudgeon. Oh wait.... Uh....
ReplyDeleteWhich Annie? Annie in the kitchen or Granny Annie?
DeleteDogs, I just don't like the way they sniff your arse and jump up all the time.
