Well after my all nighter ;) cos Chatbane which you didnt pop into I note :( .. I could definitely go for a quiet day

Sadly I wont get one of those .. till likely tomorrow.

Its freezing cold out and I have to brace myself and go feed the horses .. the ground is crunchy under foot.

And by kitten I meant baby bunny .. which also called a kitten ... so baby bunny or baby guinea pig .. but never mind that now. LOL


ok Winter and Autumn OR Spring and Summer .. which are your faves ;) :P

Oops. Still going to pick the bunny over the piggie. Only ever had one piggie and he was cute and friendly, but dumber than a sack of rocks. Bunnies have more personality.

Winter/Autumn for sure. Me and the sun are not good friends.


Small dogs or big dogs?

Oh always the tuffest questions from you Sors 🤔

I love all dogs .. but depends on the breed .. I have fave big breeds and fave small breeds .. and a few not so faves 😂

And every dog has their own personality .. so tis an impossible choice .. cos depends on the doggo. And I cant possibly base a decision on big or small .. thats just sooo sizist .. and though I do look down on shortness in humans .. despite its heightist indications ..

:LOLS: .. I dont in doggos ;)

So nope .. I mean Im looking right now at 3 of the most beautiful German Shorthaired Pointers and scruffy mid sized mutt and a I dont know what Poppy is .. a cross between a chiwawa and god knows what small mutt .. and theyre all simply gorgeous.

I must break the chains of this game :LOLS:

And I think a little leniency in my case wouldnt be unreasonable 😬

Pushbikes or motorbikes

Erk. Motorbikes, if I must choose. At least they're more likely to follow traffic rules and whatnot. Bicyclists in this area are a menace - which probably isn't fair to all of them, but it's a noticeable majority.


Music from 1960-1990, or music from 1991-2018?

Lemme think...
Write an awesome short story or make an awesome viral video?
(Assume that in either case you're able to convincingly share deep, valuable convictions in a way that brilliantly suits the medium!)
"People without hope not only don't write novels, but what is more to the point, they don't read them.
They don't take long looks at anything, because they lack the courage.
The way to despair is to refuse to have any kind of experience, and the novel, of course, is a way to have experience."
-Flannery O'Connor

Write an awesome short story. Most of the videos I make aren't going to appeal to a wide audience - if I show a friend or two and they like it, that's great, but it would be pretty weird if something went viral.


You have a time machine. You have one trip backwards to any point in human history, then back to the present. You have the choice of either bringing one souvenir back with you, or leaving a modern item in the past. Which do you choose? (And for bonus points, what's the item?)

Parallel universe exploration, because I find the concept fascinating. (Well, space exploration too, but if I must choose.) All the little things that could have such a dramatic effect on history if they'd just gone a little bit differently.


Procrastinate, or get it done now?

Oh youre soooo tricky .. Im a fan of procrastination and getting things done 🤔🤷‍♀️ .. it really depends on what it is that needs doing 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I have been putting off my hand sewing for a very long time .. so its only right I vote for procrastination.. though I am supposed to be doing it now, and instead Im here, NOT DOING it 🤷‍♀️

:LOLS:

You see a great idea for a project on the teev.. do you make it .. construct it .. or buy it ready made?

Depends on how much artistic talent is required. I'm pretty good at general DIY, but terrible at actual art. If it's an art project, I will probably look for a pre-made one on Etsy. I will probably spend about half an hour looking at all the various options, and I probably won't actually buy anything. (Window shopping is more fun than spending actual money.)


Forgive, or hold a grudge?

Hugs. Scientifically proven to do good things for human beings.

Handshake, or air kiss? :D

Rule of Acquisition #34: War is good for business.
Rule of Acquisition #35: Peace is good for business.
Rule of Acquisition #76: Every once in a while, declare peace. It confuses the hell out of your enemies.

I am not a Ferengi. I will go with peace. I think it would be nice to put aside our global differences and whatnot and work on solving problems and whatnot. Vote for me, I'll make whatnot happen.


You are searching for an obscure, out-of-print book, or something of that nature - do you check Amazon or Ebay, or try the thrill of the chase in the real world?

You didn't ask a question, but I'm going to take a bonus turn since I'm borrowing a question I saw elsewhere and I want to throw it out here before I forget it.


Would you rather be fluent in every dialect of every human language, or be able to communicate with all non-human animals?

think I have comparatively short nails - but they need to be long enough that there's white part sticking out to use for leverage on things!
I like colorful nails, but history also says "Unpainted."
I think I've only had them painted like 3 times in the last 8 years - and I can only think of 2.

anyway.. which is more awesome, a tiny bat the size of your thumb, or a kinkajou?

mmm .. another tough choice .. Ill go Kinkajou .. cos why not .. though bats are very cute.

Recently got to look after a feather tailed glider .. he was a male, no bigger than half a palm. And he is endangered which made it all the more awesome to find him alive and care for him.

Yeah .. Im short nails .. and dont sadly see the point in painting them .. but I always paint my toe nails :P

Segway or scooter
