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!
Here is round #31:
- Whatβs the best prank youβve ever pulled on someone?
- What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep?
- How do you like to spend your time after work?
Here are my answers:
- When The Mister and I were teenagers, we had fun forking people’s yards. This is where I explain that – Devil’s Night, but see the picture to the right. It was usually a pre-Halloween prank on an unsuspecting friend. We could then expect to get lawn forked back (with the same forks), most times, many months later when you were least suspecting it. The key was to stick the forks in the ground handle down in order to decrease breaking.
- In 1991, we were gifted a coffee maker that was not only from the 1970s, but it was used. LOL
- When The Mister gets home, we eat dinner, take a walk, drink coffee or tea on the porch, play with our 3 cats, and watch TV or go to a movie. It’s a simple but happy life.
And now, itβs your turn!Β If you donβt want to participate, no problem! Iβm just glad youβre here. A hello would be fantastic, though! Of course, lurkers are always heartily welcome, too. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

I use to fork yards too!!!!! LOLOLOL
You did? I’m gobsmacked! I thought only we did that. π π
LOLOL! On Friday nights we were aa mess!
Us, tooooooooooooooooo! LOL πΊπΈ
Your pranks are hilarious. A used coffee maker? Yuck! Simple but happy life is the best β€οΈ
Here are my answers:
Whatβs the best prank youβve ever pulled on someone?
I actually never played crazy pranks on people (yes very boring I know!). The one prank that I did play was offering a pebble wrapped in a toffee wrapper as candy, but that was a well known prank. Don’t worry, none of us kids were stupid enough to eat it, and we never did this with younger children. If you were angry at your friend you gave them a pebble wrapped in a toffee wrapper π
What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep?
I got a very ugly set of bangles. And they didn’t even fit me! They were hideous to look at. I was forced to keep because it was given by a close neighbour. They’re still very ugly.
How do you like to spend your time after work?
I like to watch movies or anime. I also like to walk in gardens.
Thank you, Aboli. πΊπ©·
I’m so glad you played my game! Your answers were great! πΊπ©·
These are some fun questions! I enjoyed reading your responses, especially about the lawn forks! I must admit Iβve never really been good at pranking people (but I donβt think Iβve really tried). As for my other answers:
2 – We were given a framed picture of my in-laws that we feel obligated to display in our house. And it’s just a very weird picture.
3 – Cooking, eating, going for a walk or swim, gardening, catching up on reading. There just never seems to be enough time!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked them!
2 – Oh dear, that must be a difficult position to be in.
3 – That’s so true! I feel the same way. What nice evenings you have.
Thank you so much for playing. Your answers were great! πΊ
This one is interesting to me. I have never pulled a mean prank on anyone in my whole life. I don’t keep gifts I hate ~ I find someone who doesn’t hate them and pass them on. And a poet is never truly not working.
I can totally understand your answer, Ana. I’ve never pulled a mean prank either. We were just friends all doing this to each other for fun. I can’t understand mean pranking, really. That’s a good idea about finding the gift for someone who doesn’t hate the item. And, most of all, I agree with you about the poet never truly not working! So true!
Thank you so much, Ana. Your answers were thought-provoking. πΊπ©·
As were your questions!
πΊπ©·πΊπ©·πΊ
Eeeeee at the old and used coffeemaker! Lol π
LMAO!!!! IKR? The gifter must have really liked us. LOLOL
Wait… is “gifter” a word? LOLOLOL It’s early. ππ€£
Possibly! I think re-gift is the correct word! I was βregiftedβ a yellow robe from a cousins wife one yearβ¦absolutely hideous but I think the coffeemaker takes the cake! Lolol π
LOLOLOL I don’t know the robe sounds dreadful. LOLππ€£
More good questions.
1) We were playing charades at a friends house and when it came Dan’s turn, he did not know we had all conspired to make it more difficult for him. When he got to the alphabet part of the word, he went through the alphabet so we would choose H. We all sounded off A,B,C,D,E,F,G,I. After the 5th time he got quite cranky and finally figured it out.
2) A really bad hand made knitted blanket in multi colours
3) Well, I am long retired, but in the good old days, it was typically an activity with the kids, then put them to be and finally watch the news. Nowadays, we like to watch the news first and finish the evening with a comedy.
Happy Saturday Kymber. Allan
Thank you!
1) LOLOL That is funny right there!π Poor Dan. LOL
2) Sound atrocious! LOL
3) I think finishing the evening with a comedy is a great idea!
Thank you for playing, Allan! I wish you a happy weekend!
Whatβs the best prank youβve ever pulled on someone? Not sure it was a prank, but when I first met my now ex, I asked him “Don’t you know who I am” in a silly way. It was meant to be a joke, but he was seriously trying to figure out if I was ‘someone’ for quite a while that night. [told me later]
What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep? Can I say childhood trauma? lol
How do you like to spend your time after work? I usually come home ridiculously hungry, and eat right away. Depending on my schedule that day, I most often make my way for the laptop after that. π
Hi, Stephanie!
LOLOL That’s a good one! π
I don’t see why not. Say anything you like. I’m sorry for what you’ve endured, though.π©·
Sounds like a good evening to me!
Thank you so much for playing! Your answers were terrific! Happy Weekend to you.
Happy weekend! Your prank question is so smart and revealing!
LOL Thank you, Stephanie. π
Great answers, Kymber.
Whatβs the best prank youβve ever pulled on someone? Honestly, I don’t do pranks.
What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep? I don’t think gifts can be terrible, it’s our attitude toward people or our attitude in general, that makes anything terrible.
How do you like to spend your time after work? Every day, to unwind, I play ball with our dog Vader. He makes me π
Thank you! πΊ
It’s probably best if people don’t. lol
I see what you’re saying and that makes a lot of sense. Good point!
LOL He makes you. I love it!
Thank you so much for playing my game! I hope you have a terrific weekend! πΊπ©·
You have a lovely, relaxing life, Kymber. I’m happy for you.
Thank you. We have our ups and downs but I wouldn’t trade the life I am living for anything.
Great questions! Whatβs the best prank youβve ever pulled on someone?
I love pranks! Best were when me and my half-brother were kids and they had opened a joke store in town where we bought tiny βdynamiteβ sticks to put in cigarettes. My stepdad was the unfortunate target, and I can still see him that time once after dinner lying on the bed all sooty around his mouth and the cigarette in shreds. I had probably inserted the little dynamite thingy too far… It got to a point when he was actually shaking when he lit a cigarette. Anyway, he didnβt give up smoking, though, and Iβm pretty sure they arenβt allowed to sell these todayβ¦ Mom bought a fart-cushion and poor dad didnβt sit down without checking for weeks. I wonder how he survived us?
What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep?
A wedding gift from one of my best friends who, Iβm sorry to say, had terrible taste. It was a carved picture in wood, that I promptly hang on the wall when I knew she was visiting. Luckily, I quickly moved to another country, so surprise visits were out of the βpictureβ! (Bad pun, couldnβt help myself)
How do you like to spend your time after work?
Just kicking off my shoes and take a mug of something steaming hot to the couch with an audiobook and hope I donβt fall asleepβ¦
Hahaha Your poor father! I would have quit smoking after that one, for sure. LOL
LMAO! That’s so funny that you hung it up right before she came over. LOL I had someone make me pillows for the couch that made me shake my head, so I got those out when she visited, too. I’d forgotten about that! lol
Not falling asleep is so hard to do! lol I think your evenings sound perfect.
Thank you so much for playing my game. Your answers were great!
Happy to make you laugh!

I’m lurking today.
Hi, Ernie! No problem! Great to see you! πΊ
Have a great day Kymber!
Thank you! You have a great day, too, Ernie!
I’ll be participating, of course, but no idea when it will go live. Early next week or so. I don’t remember how far I’ve scheduled my posts π.
YAY! So glad to hear you’ll be participating, AM. There is no rush or deadline. π
I do that with my posts, too. π
Great to see you! Oh! I almost forgot to tell you! I sent you an email through your contact form, but I don’t know if you got it. All it said was that my response to your prompt will be published Aug 28th at 10am. πΊ
Yeah, I got the email. I just forgot to respond. The email I use was not on that device, but I read it. Thank you β€οΈ
No worries. I’m so glad you got it. π πΊ Have a great day!
Best prompts ever! π
I enjoyed reading your answers π
You are very mischievous and creative, and I’m glad to hear that you lead a happy life π
Woot! Thank you! πΊ
I’m so glad you enjoyed my answers. Your encouragement means a lot. π
Happy FriYAY!! πΊ
#1 – I’m not much of a prankster, and I cannot really think of anything but I do remember one my dad played on my mother when I was like around eight. He had called my mom down the street from the grocery store on the payphone (I know my age showing), and told her he had been arrested. My mom was so distraught. I vividly remember that, and then he walked in the door a couple minutes later, as she was trying to get ahold of the grandparents so she could go bail him out. I will never forget that!
#2 – Any present that is put in one of those giftbags that are decorated with glitter. This past christmas, I got christmas presents in a full on glittered bag, and I kid you not, glitter got everywhere. I don’t know why they make those present bags have glitter on them. It is the most annyoing thing on earth.
#3 – So I work at 5AM, and am off around 2-2:30pm so I usually go to the library after work with my laptop for a few hours, and get some writing done. Honestly, It is the only leave me alone quiet time I get, and I am trying to write a book. So library for a few hours after work, and then head home, cook dinner, do some end of night chores, hang out, then sleep. On a typical day.
Thank you so much for playing my game! I really enjoyed your answers!πΊπ©·
Guurrrlllll KymberNoodle, you were quite the prankster girlfriend. Love your Q & A! We always learn something new about you. Love this post! ππ₯π€ππ
Good, clean fun in a little town. π I’m so glad you loved the Q&A, ChickiePie! And I’m tickled you stopped by! Hugs and smooches! πΊπ©·
Oh my dear KymberNoodle, hugs and smooches to you too babydoll. You always know how to entertain your audience my friend. Thank you! π₯°ππΌπΈ

Whatβs the best prank youβve ever pulled on someone? As a kid we found some piano wire and as it was after nightfall in the dead of winter we stretched it across our street at about windshield level. Then we put a snowball on the wire and waited. Sure enough, a car came along and did about three 360s trying to stop before hitting the snowball. We ran away and laughed till we peed out pants
What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep? I only had to keep the terrible pair of cuff links until the divorce.
How do you like to spend your time after work? Well, after the writing day, I like to prepare a great meal and glass of wine.
That’s a clever prank, John. I’ve never heard of that one before! lol
LOL Yes, that makes sense.
That sounds so nice. π
Terrific answers! Thank you so much for playing the game!
Love your forking prank.
Here’s my offering
https://pensitivity101.wordpress.com/2024/08/22/get-to-know-you-31/
Thank you! It was so much fun! Following your link now! π
Thanks!
I’ve never heard of forking a lawn before. What a hoot! π
Pulling pranks isn’t something I’ve ever done. As for gifts, we received an ugly, ornate tea set once that we’ve never used, but is still in the china cabinet. We’re both retired now, but we usually didn’t do much after work, other than have dinner, walk the dog and watch TV (or fall asleep in front of it!). Weekends were fun times, though!
LOL I think it’s a local thing because even when I tell other people in my state what we did, they immediately know where I lived. haha
That’s a good thing, probably. Who needs all the trouble? Ohhhh, ugly tea set! Such a bad gift! lol You know, thought, that sounds like a good evening to me, Debbie. π
Thank you so much for playing the game. I had fun reading your answers.
Hi Kymber, Iβve never played a prank like you described. Worst gift was a straw beach bag from my MIL. So not me. After work I blog, paint and read depending on how early or late I finish.
You are a better person than me. hahaha Yeah, you can’t really get rid of it if you MIL got it for you. I feel your pain. That sounds like a relaxing time in the evening.
It’s wonderful to see you, Robbie! Thank you for playing the game!
My pleasure, Kymber. These are fun posts.
I’m so glad you enjoy them, Robbie. πΊπ©·
I’m terrible with pranking – and can’t keep it up! 2. I’ve kept an awful revolving unicorn ornament that plays a hideous tune. That was from my grandmother. 3. After work, I do pilates and catch up with a friend.
It’s great to see you, Esther! Thank you so much for playing the game. π
Thanks, Kymber.
πΊπ©·πΊπ©·
I’ve never been a prankster. 2. A bizarrely colored shirt. Purple, green and turquoise. 3. Reading.
Thank you so much for stopping by and thank you for playing the game. π
lurking today, Kymber π
“forking people’s yards”…lol that sounds fun π€
No worries, Destiny! It’s nice to see you. πΊπ©·Oh, yeah, forking yards was so much fun, and trying to be quiet when we did it. LOL πΊπ©·
picturing that ….lol cute and hilarious π€£
LOLOL ππ
Great question–“What terrible gift have you gotten that youβve had to keep?” We’ve all been there, haven’t we?
LOL I’m glad you could relate to it. haha I think you’re right that we’ve all been there at one time or another. π
