Hmmm, i think i need an evening café. lately - especially if i don’t get notified of the tag or tags - i always seem to find out when i’m doing ssomething esle like seeing someone about medicare or something. but here i am now and thanks Lane for the café and the tag and also thanks
@Innocent Forever for the tag.
now here goes with the questions. hoping they are not trick questions.
i’m guessing that this: “
(Who makes these up? Ha)” is a bonus question. i don’t know who but i’ll play it safe by taking credit for all the good something or other days. that satiisfies the problem quite nicely i think.
1) what's your favorite fruit or which one's do you favor or even like fruit? yes of course i do like apricots and when i do it is just about as much as my favorite fruits but the problem with apricots is when they are good, they are very very good but when they are bad they are horrid! so that unfortunately disqualifies them from being a favorite. good granny smith apples are a favorite but only when they meet certian criteria. they have to be smallish. the bigger ones are too difficult to eat and tend to be not as tasty. they also need - very important - to have a nice overall speckling. some grannies have no speckles at all and must be rejected. and of course nowadays most fruits are stored for 3 and a half years at 33º in something like a BJ’s warehouse in huge quantities causing small bruises all over that is not good and the unnatural storage gives them a rubbery texture that is not nice. another favorite fruit is the red plum. these may be extinct. they were everyday when i was a kid and they are so delicious its worth the “negatives” that come after eating a whole bag full. i really miss that fruit. watermelon is a summertime necessity so favoriteness applies but only in the summer. now the big winner which is my absolute favorite by a long shot (also suffers from the BJ’s syndrome and also being harvested according to the sellers greed for money rather than wanting to offer the best fruit at the best stage of its life. and this fruit on occasion does appear in its most delicious form but not often. this fruit is of course the pomegranate.
2) are you a rule breaker or keeper? i am a rule breaker. i also fear breaking rules. i’m afraid of punishment, retaliation and the like. but they once upon a time said “be true to yourself” and do the things you love/really want” and for me that always ends up with me needing to break the rules and then i also end up suffering for it because everyone does one or more of the following: rolling their eyes! ignoring me! patronizingly make stupid comments and more.
3) when was the last time you sat on a park bench for ten minutes or so and would you like to describe the situation? i am going to have to ask permission now to interpret this question into considering a park bench and sitting on it for 10 or so minutes into a park path and walking on it for a couple hours. the two are really similar, right? but i don’t want to break any rules. well, here goes now that i’ve decided that i have that requested permission. the last time i walked on a park path was the day before yesterday. the situation was that i needed to walk. i’ve been trying be “healthy” and walking is the kind of exercise i love the most. well its the only exercise i love. and this walk reminded me of another walk quite the same a couple days before and it is what happened the couple days before that i will relate now. it being winter there are no leaves on the trees generally speaking so it is easy to see through the forest that this park is. there was a couple walking up ahead of me and suddenly a hawk swooped down fairly close in front of them and a little further catching a small animal. this hawk lives in this forest and i’ve seen it before. it also frequents the neighborhood where i live and i think it raised a family at the post office across the street a few years ago. so the three of us (2 humans and one extraterrrestrial) stayed there and watched in awe. hawks are very fascinating birds and also birds that one would not think of as living in a city such as new york. so i was really quite enriched by having experienced this. i really know now that i’m living on a planet that has life.
