Get to Know You #30

Hello and happy timezones, kind friends! I have greatly enjoyed your responses to my Get to Know You posts!

So, it’s time. Come sit on my porch for a spell. Tea, lemonade and refreshments will be served shortly.

Here are 3 questions! Let’s go!

Use the QR code to read this post on any device.

Here is round #30:

  1. Would you rather sit through a Star Wars marathon or a Lord of the Rings marathon?
  2. What would you have a personal assistant do if you could have someone follow you around all the time?
  3. If someone offered you a million dollars to give up your smartphone forever, would you do it?

Here are my answers:

  1. I’d rather sit through LOTR, but the Mister would probably say Star Wars after much debate because he loves LOTR, too.
  2. I would have them make all my tedious phone calls for me. I hate talking on the phone.
  3. Ummm…. YES! Absolutely!

And now, it’s your turn! If you don’t want to participate, no problem! I’m just glad you’re here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo

Happy 59th Anniversary to you, Mom & Dad! I love you!

Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

Hi Kymber, I’m not a huge fan of LotR’s or Star Wars, but if forced, I would chose LotR’s. I do share a PA with two other colleagues. She does very little for me, but I prefer doing my own stuff. Luckily, the other colleagues do use her more. I’m keeping my smart phone and that is that.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 17, 2024 - 1:33 pm

Hi, Robbie! 😀 Oh, I see. You’d pick the same as me, though if you had to. 😀 You already have a PA! How nice, but then if you enjoy doing your tasks for yourself, I can see how that might be an underused service. And that is fine, you keep it, girl. 😀

Thank you so much for playing!

Thank you for sharing!! For number one, I would probably flip a coin,… for number two I would have the PA walk beside me, not follow, and let them do their job and not give orders… for number three, I would keep the phone for it has more options in dealing with and living life than a million dollars (if you gaze upon those that have the wealth, they still have their phones 🙂 )… 🙂

Hope all is well and until we meet again…
May the love that you give
Always return to you,
That family and friends are many
And always remain true,
May your mind only know peace
No suffering or strife,
May your heart only know love and happiness
On your journey through life.
(Larry “Dutch” Woller)

Hi, Larry! It’s so good to see you!

  1. Flipping a coin is a good idea!
  2. This shows your lovely heart. You are so kind.
  3. I think you’re right about that living life.

Your answers are beautiful. Happy Caturday! 🌺

LOTR! I do this all the time anyway.

I don’t go out anymore but if I did I would probably just have my PA keep people away from me.

I wouldn’t hesitate to give up owning or using a smart phone forever for a million dollars. I already gave that up over a year ago and I don’t miss it at all. In fact if I ever end up needing a mobile again I’ll probably just get a 90s style flip phone.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 16, 2024 - 5:17 pm

We do, too! 😀

That’s a great idea for a PA.

There you go. I remember those phones. 😀

Great answers! Thank you so much for playing!

Jeff August 16, 2024 - 4:52 pm

Most days, it would probably be LoTR, but I could do Star Wars, sometimes.
That’s an interesting question. I would have mine go pick up the grocery orders and do the laundry. I guess that would be a “maid,” huh?
Sure. For a million bucks, I would. As long as I have a phone of some kind. All the apps and stuff I could either live without or figure out a way to do them on the computer.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 16, 2024 - 4:54 pm

That makes sense, Jeff.
I reckon so, but this is an assistant you can tell to do anything you want. lol 😀
Right on! I’m with you on that!

Thank you so much for playing! Your answers are great!

Reply
Laura August 16, 2024 - 10:47 am

Haha! Great questions as always! I guess for me, I’d rather watch a LOTR marathon…for the personal assistant, that’s easy, just bring me coffee and do all my chores like laundry 😆 and then for the final question…sure, as long as I have other means to contact those I love and the outside world lol 😂 good one, Kymber 🩷 thank you! 💰 💵 ☕️

Kymber Hawke August 16, 2024 - 10:53 am

YAY for LOTR! I swear I need to have a LOTR party! 😀 I think my assistant needs to do that,, too. lol Yes, same here with the smartphone.

Love these fun Q&A posts, Kymber! 😀 Making phone calls is definitely tedious and it would be great to have someone else to take care of that. Here are my answers:

1) Neither! Not my thing, but Star Trek – definitely. 😊

2) I would rather have a housekeeper/cook/gardener than a personal assistant, so could I ask them to do some of those things? 😁

3) For a million dollars, I think I could adjust. 🔕

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 15, 2024 - 11:53 am

Thank you, Debbie! I’m so glad you enjoy these posts! 🙂

1) Yes! You’re not the only Trekkie around here. I definitely should have listed, too. 😀

2) You can ask them to do whatever you like. 😀

3) LOLOLOL Right?

Thank you so much for playing!

1) Lord of the Rings, just for all that NZ scenery. We have found each successive Star Wars and Lord of the Rings episode to be increasingly based on war and fight scenes, so have to look forward to something.
2) I can’t imagine having a personal assistant following me around, so I would give them the day off and report back to me on what they had done with their day.
3) In a heartbeat.

Happy Thursday Kymber. Allan

Kymber Hawke August 15, 2024 - 11:42 am

Hi, Allan!
1) That scenery is tops! I hope to go there someday.
2) LOL Good plan you have there!

That’s such a hard decision between LoTR or Star Wars. But I’d have to say Star Wars.
If the personal assistant didn’t do housework I’d have then do all my social media stuff.
Absolutely.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 6:35 pm

Or, you could go with Star Trek! LOL I know it was hard for me to decide, too.

They’ll do whatever you tell them, I reckon. 😀

Absolutely! 🙂

It’s so good to see you, Teri! Thank you for playing!

John W. Howell August 14, 2024 - 4:31 pm

1 A Star Wars marathon. LOTR is too much work.
2 I would have a personal assistant handle everything that doesn’t involve writing. I mean everything.
3 I would give up my smart phone for a Million dollars. It would be like getting paid to kick a heron habit.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 6:32 pm

1 I see what you mean about that. Star Wars it is!
2 LOLOL That’s a great answer!
3 Right? That’s an excellent way to think about it!

As for me

Would you rather sit through a Star Wars marathon or a Lord of the Rings marathon? Star Wars marathon for me
What would you have a personal assistant do if you could have someone follow you around all the time? Lots of things including help me walk the dog
If someone offered you a million dollars to give up your smartphone forever, would you do it? Yes I lived half my life without one and I did not suffer

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 4:22 pm

Hi, Thomas!
You and The Mister can hang out. 😀
Your assistant must love dogs. 🙂
I feel the same exact way!

Your answers are great! Thank you for playing!

Destiny August 14, 2024 - 3:32 pm

Most definitely LOTR…
I’d rather not be followed around…my shadow is enough as it is..😂🤭
If willing to negotiate…and take that “ever” out of “for”….hmmm… might consider then 😋

Happy Anniversary to your parents 🎉

Q1: I once had a Lord of the Rings marathon getting out of the movie theater at 4:30 AM. So, as I do not want repetition in my life, it would have to be Star Wars.

Q2: Do all the administrative work and keep annoying people or salespersons away from me.

Q3: Yes, as long as I can still use a tablet 😊

Have a majestic day Kymber 🌞

Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 1:09 pm

Happy Anniversary to your parents, Kymber!

Would you rather sit through a Star Wars marathon or a Lord of the Rings marathon?

LOTR!
What would you have a personal assistant do if you could have someone follow you around all the time?
My personal assistant would be responsible for catching me in moments I am about to go against my resolutions, jumping in if they could make a difference. So for instance, “I see you are about to watch Love is Blind UK, how about we take a walk with the dog instead, or do some meal prep for next week?”
If someone offered you a million dollars to give up your smartphone forever, would you do it?
YES, done.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 11:47 am

Thank you! They’re having a great day in Frankenmuth. 😀

Right on to LOTR!
LOL That is a good way to use your assistant. 😀

Would you rather sit through a Star Wars marathon or a Lord of the Rings marathon?
—I look at Yoda, who is standing on the left side on top of my monitor. “What a question is this?” he seems to say 🙂
What would you have a personal assistant do if you could have someone follow you around all the time?
—I had a butler ones, not by choice but by trade, and asked him to disappear.
If someone offered you a million dollars to give up your smartphone forever, would you do it?
—Yep, I am already doing it for free. I am down to 3 hrs. phone time a week and it’s marvelous. My phone is only a phone, I have a few apps )(bank/fitness/groceries) the rest I deleted a while back. I am not my phones slave and I don’t jump at every ping anymore. Also, I have stopped answering texts from new customers and clients in general. My life is good! It seems I was the smart one all along.

Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 11:46 am

-LOLOL Yoda speaks truly. 😀
-LMAO You asked the butler to disappear! That’s so funny!

Interesting questions! My answers at the moment (but another time I’d probably change my mind)
1. Star Wars (I’ve seen both but like space tales better)
2. Assistant would organize and clean my house, drive me places, and cook, and do chores.
3. Sure – then I’d go buy another phone with my free money.

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 11:40 am

Thank you! I’m glad you like the questions! I know what you mean about having different answers at a different time; I’m like that, too.

  1. You and The Mister love your Star Wars! I admit it’s exciting to watch. 🙂
  2. Yessss… That would be a great assistant to have.

LOTR for me too, although i did love the early Star Wars as well.
Its too crowded on the bus for a PA, but if i had one, she would need to clean up after my husband so i dont have to, keep the bus organized so he can find things, and help me stay on track of what is more important for me to read and write so i dont spend too much time and energy doing just one thing.
Sure id give up my phone if i could keep my ipad!!

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 11:22 am

Here are my answers : Would you rather sit through a Star Wars marathon or a Lord of the Rings marathon?
Tough question, but I’d side with you Kymber and choose The Lord of the Rings. I’m only interested in the old Star Wars episodes anyway, those with Harrison Ford/Han Solo 😉
What would you have a personal assistant do if you could have someone follow you around all the time?
Take notes when I suddenly get ideas about stories! And carry water around to keep me hydrated, as I forget to drink! And also take care of everything administrative…
If someone offered you a million dollars to give up your smartphone forever, would you do it?
Yup. I’d still have my iPad, and computers, so who cares?

Reply
Kymber Hawke August 14, 2024 - 11:19 am

First, good morning Kymber. second, I love the don’t be shy. it’s is very unique and thoughtful. ok so for my answers,
1, Lord of the Rings, not much of a tv watcher but this one wins for me.
2. Help me on the marketing of my soon to be out book.
3. Easy answer that would fall into the ‘of course’ category
Have a great and peaceful day Kymber.

  1. YAY to LOTR!
