Thanks for the tag!! My answers -

1) Do you have a pet, and if so, have you ever dressed them up? (Pics if available)

No pet YET. But, when I've had pets in the past i must confess i never thought to dress them up.

2) If the answer to 1 is no, why not??

The thought never crossed my mind. I am planning to get a kitten soon, so, in the future i will give it a go!!

3) When was the last time you tried one of the old-fashioned past times? (Kite flying, Bicycle riding in the park, Picnic, going on a boat ride, reading the paper, feeding the pigeons etc) The more old-timey and eccentric the better.

OMG. i guess the last thing i did like that was bike ridding in a local park. Stupidly i sold the bike, so, i cant do that anymore.

4) When was the last time you had a really good clean up of your home?

Today infact!! Not that i did it, i had a cleaner come around and do my entire unit. The place is spotless now and it dint cost me a cent!

5) What do you do (if anything) that makes you feel glad you're alive? (This can be as life affirming or as petty as you like, even if its just "Annoy my shitty neighbour and hear him complain")

Going out/meeting up with my imediate family. My dad, sister and brother are lovely people. I am very lucky to have them!

6) Have you ever felt a moment of true contentment? (Dont feel bad if you havent, I can only barely answer yes to this question)

Hmmm..... Not in a long time. Hopefully that can change :)

Thanks for opening and the tag @Dante...
Wishing all a great Thursday...the week is almost over...seems to go so fast somehow...

1) Do you have a pet, and if so, have you ever dressed them up? (Pics if available)
I have a dog and no.

2) If the answer to 1 is no, why not??
Every year think will get reindeer antlers as would be cute but never do it as worry Shatsu would eat them...lol...

3) When was the last time you tried one of the old-fashioned past times? (Kite flying, Bicycle riding in the park, Picnic, going on a boat ride, reading the paper, feeding the pigeons etc) The more old-timey and eccentric the better.
Oh way too long ago...

4) When was the last time you had a really good clean up of your home?
Try to do every 2 weeks or so...my husband is fairly fastidious so no real piles just more dusting/vacuuming which I admit don't like doing much. Remember my mother's spring cleaning the indows with newspaper and vinegar

5) What do you do (if anything) that makes you feel glad you're alive? (This can be as life affirming or as petty as you like, even if its just "Annoy my shitty neighbour and hear him complain")
Going for a walk with my neighbor every morning (except when I oversleep) and watch the sun rise before work

6) Have you ever felt a moment of true contentment? (Dont feel bad if you havent, I can only barely answer yes to this question)
Yes can think of many moments over my lifetime...none really recent alas as can't seem to slow down the thoughts in my head of what need to do, should do, should have done, shouldn't have done...

Last spring I went to Rum Village Park just up the road from me and was smoking a cigar and enjoying the beautiful scenery while sitting in my car. I had my windows rolled down, enjoying the fresh spring air, a beautiful day. A woman came up to my car and asked if I needed anything. I looked at her and said I am fine. She replied "I can get you little girls or anything you want?" I looked at her with a puzzled expression on my face. She said "Or little boys if you prefer?" I replied "What the hell!" She pulled out a radio and radioed into the police station "This guy is just enjoying a cigar, no problem here." I haven't been back since.
This is really awful. It's like someone has some completely unfounded suspicion in their mind, and therefor thinks they have some unlimited right to make accusations based on that.
That woman was true Karen and should be ashamed of herself
It really goes way beyond that. It's just outright harassment.

I would have just been like, "Hey lady, why are you trying to sell me kidS?" Really though, she seems like a huge weirdo.

This sounds like they have had some problems with podophiles scouting kids in the area, enough to start checking people out, either that or that woman needs to learn to be less of an insulting cow, who knows.

I think more should be done to protect children in general, but it's really government that should handle that rather than vigilantes. Moses is a good guy, and chasing him away from any sort of participation in public life is bad for him and for the community in general.

Thanks for opening @Dante and for the tag @Kiwi2016 . Tagging @Autumn1973 . Come join us :)

1) Do you have a pet, and if so, have you ever dressed them up? (2) If the answer to 1 is no, why not?? I do but it's never occurred to me to dress them up
3) When was the last time you tried one of the old-fashioned past times? A very long time.
4) When was the last time you had a really good clean up of your home? Am doing it right now! After spending the last few weeks busily 'Marie Kondo -ing' everything in sight. Her mission is 'to spread joy' through inspiring us to tidy up. Apparently the average household has at least 270 separate items of clothing, much of it just taking up space instead of "sparking joy". Having got rid of around 15 trash bags of clothes and other clutter, I feel great!
5) What do you do (if anything) that makes you feel glad you're alive? (This can be as life affirming or as petty as you like, even if its just "Annoy my shitty neighbour and hear him complain") I'm really turned on to tidying now!
6) Have you ever felt a moment of true contentment ? Yes, see (4) above

1. and 2. I've never had the kind of dogs that would like or tolerate being clothed.

3. I'm still not sure what all the old timey covers....I walk every day out in the woods, or country or fields, usually with the dogs and if I find horses I'll have something for them in the car like apples or carrots or whatever....feed the fish and turtles in the streams and rivers, feed the gulls at the beach....I bike ride frequently and if anyone invited me for a picnic I would go...

4. I deep cleaned the bathrooms today.....first time in months, lol.

5. Nothing in life makes me feel truly alive currently except when I'm meditating deeply and the moments after. Being in the woods gives me some kind of connected feel while I'm out there.
I did visit with a couple today who own a business that I use and I haven't seen them in about a year so I spent some time catching up with them. That was enjoyable.

6. Contentment. Years ago.
