Hey seabird, just wanted to say yw for the tag, and thank you for selecting a pic, great selection and I’m delighted that it made you feel nice

Loved ALL your post of course, but wanted to answer the q you asked with an absolute YES, I definitely can sometimes “talk too much” or “over-explain”. It is usually if I am trying to explain something, just like to be as clear as possible and hopefully be understood in my “meaning” and things like that. Always trying not to offend anyone, it can be quite hard sometimes and there’s definitely times where a part of me feels like it just wants to keep everything I say “simpler” without much explanation, I usually just end up getting too worried/stressed about my meaning being taken wrong I guess. I probably need to lighten up and not worry quite so much about that sometimes but it is often quite a challenge for me lol :p

Ok I am pretty sure I’m yet again guilty of talking too much in this post lol, just one last thing though which is - thank you for those kind hugs, they are very needed and appreciated, especially right now. Hugs back to you and/or anyone else who is needing them

 

[JMG]

Tysm to ALL who have replied here, I have very much enjoyed reading everyone’s replies

Yw for the tags, and also tysm to those who wished tor me to be feeling better soon. I am feeling the worst I have felt since this started on Thursday, can barely talk cos throat is so irritated and raspy, feels like someone rubbed some sandpaper against my throat and also chest area a bit. Gotta go take more of my gross but fairly effective medication again so hopefully that will help me be able to sleep more (barely got any sleep last night due to discomfort, took about 5 hours, then only managed to sleep for about 3, hoping will be better/easier to sleep tonight at least).

 

[full]

That's a tough choice, but today I'd be a donkey so I'd have an excuse to be an ass.

 

[Javier]

Thank you for inviting me, @JMG. Hope everyone had a good weekend. Wish you a nice week.

1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?
No, thank God I don't get sick too often.

2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?
I think I'd prefer to be a moon. Stars are pretty, but the Moon we get to see, specially the full Moon, is a total espectáculo.

3. Do you enjoy reading?
I do, I just wish I had more time.

4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?
Some kind of eagle, maybe? All things considered, I think I prefer to be a human.

 

[shelled1]

Questions:
1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?
No, hardly get sick in my older age and of course from not seeing ppl

2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?
Star, provide warmth , less likely to be colonized

3. Do you enjoy reading?
Yes, but I hardly have the time/energy

4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?
a turtle!!

 

[KM76710]

Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?

Not anymore. But sinuses always been pretty stuffy and all the rest through my life.

Would you rather be a moon or a star?

Either one would be equally fine with me.

Do you enjoy reading?

Love it and doing it very often on a wide range of topics.

If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?

Honey badger for sure if no other reason than honey badger don't care, honey badger don't give a shit. LOL

 

[Inanimate]

1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?

No, more like once or twice a year.

2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?

A moon. Stars put out so much energy just to sustain themselves, and, as a consequence, no celestial body within their orbit can come too close to them without burning up.

3. Do you enjoy reading?

Not particularly. More often than not, I become more restless than immersed upon reading something I’m meant to enjoy.

4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?

A human.

 

[Neko~boy]

Thank you for the tag. i liked the last one on the bottom row.

1. never used to, but i notice i get sick more often in general now.

3. yes but i take spells where i am not much in the mood to read much and then other times i can't put a book down.

4. Cat

 

[foreverforgotten]

Ty for the tag @JMG (Hug) 💙

I choose the first pic!! So pretty colors kinda like jupiter

Questions:
1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?

-- maybe like once a year. Its usually winter if at all. I seem to be okay in that regard..

2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?

-- maybe a moon. From my human perspective it seems more chill and relax.. ignoring the occasional smack by a meteor/ asteroid lol

3. Do you enjoy reading?

-- sometimes. It's hard to focus and start reading.
I get distracted and put it down. Then procrastinate finishing the book. most books now seem to be from a main character who's like teens to 20 something. I find that hard to relate to..

4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?

-- seagull :3

 

[foreverforgotten]

Thanks for opening up and inviting me @JMG ! I hope you feel better soon.
Questions:
1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?
I don't get colds too much I don't think, but I do have bad allergies often. I used to always get it really bad when I would have a cold and end up with some kind of lung infection or whatever. Did end up getting pneumonia in early 2023. Not too severely, but it still really sucked.
2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?
I'd like to be a moon so I could be best friends with a planet.
3. Do you enjoy reading?
I love reading. I'm doing less reading for pleasure since I'm in my PhD program, but I still try to make some time for it. I at least pick up a book when I'm in the bathroom or sometimes on the bus. I just finished a book called Cult-ish about the language that cults use, and I'm about to read Against Technoableism, arguing against the idea that disabled people need to be "fixed" by technology.
4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?
I wanna be a capybara and chill out and get along with all types of other animals.

Capybaras are adorable lol. great animal choice ✨️ haha

 

[foreverforgotten]

I like all the pictures that you post

2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?
3. Do you enjoy reading?
4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?

1. It's pollen season here. I don't usually get sick. But my nose has been running lately. TMI I know. Even though we have the Boston Marathon tomorrow, my nose wishes to compete.

2. Either. I know not much of a response.

3. I usually read every night before going to sleep. It relaxes me now. usually mysteries although I have recently been stuck in Christian suspense romance novels. I used to do scifi but i find it doesn't hold my interest nowadays.

4. Wolves have always held my heart. They can be loners, mate for life, and very self sufficient. Also have a paint by numbers that I did during my dark days of two white wolves in the dark with birch trees. It is the one thing I wanted from my ex's house, and he eventually gave it to me. It took my two years it was pretty big. My daughter helped and we didn't always fall the recommended colors and it still came out nice.

Wolf is a great choice too! I can see that, I agree too

 

[FFurry]

Thanks @JMG ! I like the dewy valley... reminds me of past treks.

1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)? I doubt it, unless those annoying allergies are colds.
2. Would you rather be a moon or a star? Star? More energy, at least.
3. Do you enjoy reading? Yes, since youth.
4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be? Probably as in my profile pic 😹

 

[Astrid78]

Thanks for the café and tag @JMG
All the pictures look great!
1 no colds but do get seasonal allergies. Every season.
2 a moon because they reflect light.
3 yes, reading was always my escape as a kid, and now I read just because I'm interested in the story.
4 sloth or koala bear
Hope everyone has a great day/night!

 

[Lane]

Thank you for opening and the tag JMG. Beautiful pics as always.

1. I don't often get colds probably because I sleep a lot. 😜

2.a star, they are just twinkly and pretty.

3. Reading is an escape for me. Currently reading The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman.

4. I'd be a house cat, they are just so loved and cared for.

 

[dandelions]

hey @JMG i have been off line! and i did not see an alert. but by now you must be well accustomed to my late Café arrivals! Sorry, I've got a natural lag. i recall that I joined SF in April 2017 but my first post was in something like October. See? but much thanks as always for the tag and this Café which to me has some pics with a lot of draw. I'd even say #6 of the collage has a particularly special draw so....

but i had already decided to do the Qs so i'll attend to those now:
Questions:
1. Do you get colds often (like more than once per month, usually)?
not only do i not get colds often (more than 1x/mo, but for me often would probably be 1+x/year and then i pretty much don't even get them that much. must be my extraterrestrial constitution!

2. Would you rather be a moon or a star?
i believe that a moon gives a much better look at its planet so if being a moon (and i actually wonder about the impications in this question JMG! - like i wouldn't .... or would i? hmmm) anyway i like to watch what i find attractive and you know for years and years before landing on this pretty planet i gazed from afar so i now choose moon!

3. Do you enjoy reading?
sadly reading is horrible for me. i surely have a reading disability that to this day is undiagnosed other than by moi. i always have envied those who love reading and found a way to be somewhere else while being here. the planet sure is pretty but there's so much going on tho make it overwhelm so often. a good book must be a really wonderful experience. and my best reading experiences were to my kids at bedtime when since actual reading was so dif, i read the stories in my mind about the characters that existed in theirs.

4. If you could be any animal, which one would you want to be?
ahhhhhh! been there. done that. really i don't recommend it anymore. just be a pebble or a fallen leaf or best, like in that #6 pic, be a river. thats where i want to go and what i want to be.

now, i will take my seat on this sunny day - my usual spot by that big window with my... hey i think i'll have tea this morning. and think of Cafés past and Café future and hope everyone had a great sunday and now a lovely monday and keep your spirits up and like the dandelion... persevere! 👽

It's funny... it took me probably close to a good year, to begin posting on here (at least comfortably) -- if not, even longer than that! I blame, in no particular order: @total eclipse @born free (disty) & @Witty_Sarcasm . . . I miss that Dolphin she had in her avatar, from before, as it was jumping out of the water; a "perfect-shot!" (indeed) miss/ing you! where-ever you are~ */.)>
