Saturday 9: Children and Age of Bloggers

Saturday 9: Children and and Ages of Bloggers

1. Do you worry about your next birthday?

No, as always, I look forward to it.

2. Have you ever lied about your age in the recent past? If yes why?

No. Never. Not to hide my age, nor to advance it (I have never been a drinker of alcohol, so I never lied to make myself 21).

3. Have you ever lied about your age when you were young? If yes why?

Oh. I jumped the gun on this one.

4. How much older have you been a person that you were romantically involved?

Not much. Maybe three or four years at one time?

5. How much younger have you been a person that you were romantically involved?

Same, no big age difference.

6. Have you ever been consider a sibling, rather than parent of your child?

Oh, I've no idea. I doubt it.

7. If you have had children, did you factor in age when deciding to have a sibling?

I haven't any. But if I did, I would put at least five years between them.

8. If you have not had children, are you happy with your choice and/or fate?

YOU HAVE NO IDEA! And you clearly haven't read my blog!

9. Do your siblings have kids? Are you close to them? Their ages?

No kids. No siblings. Now nieces and nephews. Life is GOOD! I have a small number of cousins. That's it.

Interesting Aftermath a From Season Five of "MasterChef"

Do I agree with this? You will have to read it first and decide for yourself. I had long since made up my mind before finding this article. MasterChef Season 5 Fixed: Courtney Lapresi Won Finale After Getting Preferential Treatment – Former Stripper Favoritism BY  STORMY ELIZABETH  ON SEPTEMBER 23, 2014 "They say if you can’t take the heat, you should get out of the kitchen, but what if you like it hot? If you’ve been watching  MasterChef this season 5 , you may have noticed that one contestant in particular seems to  be “winning” challenges  when her dishes don’t seem to be quite up to it.  Courtney Lapresi  has been billed as an “aerial dancer” on the show. So what exactly is that, you ask? It’s a fancy word for stripper. You may term what she does as burlesque, but nekked is nekked and she takes off her  clothes  when she dances, so you have to call them as you see them. Plus is it really fair that she’s up for a MasterChef win aft

A.W.A.D. - 14-Letter Words, 14-Letter Definitions

Back in 1994, when I founded Wordsmith.org on a Pi Day (March 14), I had no idea that one day we'd be celebrating its quadridecennial. Here's what the last 14 years look in numbers: So far we have sent out 3,782 unique words and 297 AWADmail compilations to 640,000 present subscribers in 200 countries, that is more than 1.6 billion pieces of email. Well, this week we're seeing all things 14. We'll feature words that are 14 letters long, and define each of them in 14 letters. acritochromacy (uh-KRIT-o-kro-muh-see) noun Color blindness. [From Greek akritos (undistinguishing) + chroma (color).] tintinnabulate (tin-ti-NAB-yuh-layt) verb intr. To ring; to tinkle. [From Latin tintinnabulum (bell), from tintinnare (to jingle).] tinctumutation (tinkt-myoo-TAY-shuhn) noun Change of colour.

An Interesting Wife Swap...

Image
I'm catching up on our Wife Swap recordings. I'm watching the epiode Burroughs/Padovan-Hickman one that aired on 17 April 2009. The one I watched just before was really quite satisfying - the families both learned a lot and seemed to really take it to heart. This one, however, is back to the familiar mold of putting families that are so totally diametrically opposite families together that they almost can't get along. This is interesting, though, because the Padovan-Hickmans have electricity but don't use it, don't flush often, go for a week without showering and then the whole family uses the same bathwater... I can see where that would be hard, especially for me in that I have very oily skin and hair and would look rather wretched after the next day. But the family themselves are very likable and fun, the father looks more like a kindly grandfather, but really is quite intelligent and pleasant. I would have trouble with the clean thing and I'd miss my iPod
