  2. Our answers are the same. I like a nice dinner out occasionally, but curling up on my couch with dinner and a movie is my preference. And texting – ask if I’m available if they’d like to talk because I’m usually at work or in the middle of something with writing. I couldn’t have said it better about acknowledgement or anonymity.

    1. Thank you, Teri. Our answers are similar a lot of the time. Girl, I read your “The Power of Three” book and I didn’t want it to end! It was so good. I am hoping to review it soon.

  3. Thank you for sharing!!.. as for #1, whatever works at the time, for #2 easy listening music, my Kindle with a good story and a cup of tea, for #3 I am not trying to draw attention to me but share thoughts, ideas and memories with others but I am not trying to hide either… 🙂

    Hope your path in life is paved with peace, love and happiness and until we meet again…

    May flowers always line your path
    and sunshine light your way,
    May songbirds serenade your
    every step along the way,
    May a rainbow run beside you
    in a sky that’s always blue,
    And may happiness fill your heart
    each day your whole life through.
    May the sun shine all day long
    Everything go right, nothing go wrong
    May those you love bring love back to you
    And may all the wishes you wish come true
    (Irish Saying)

  4. Texting.
    Both. Dinner and a movie is great; whether it’s a meal out or takeout/delivery and streaming, doesn’t really matter to me.
    I’m much more recognition-driven than I used to be, but some of that is having been in situations where others have taken credit for things that were my ideas. I don’t take credit for things I didn’t do, and I give credit where credit is due, and I expect the same of others.

  5. Hi Kymber, I also prefer texting. In fact, I hate phone calls. TC likes fancy restaurants so I go. I prefer cooking at home. I also like recognition for writing, art, and work performance. If you work hard at things, it’s nice to get feedback and be part of a community of like minded people.

  11. Thanks for doing these kinds of posts, Kymber! My answers:
    1. Depends on the conversation. For surface exchanges, I’d rather text. But with in-depth conversations, I’d rather call.
    2. I like the occasional nice dinner out. But I’m more comfortable with takeout and a movie.
    3. Acknowledgement. If it’s about my writing, it’ll make me glow for days. If it’s about something I’ve done, I appreciate the effort that another person took to thank me.

  12. Calling or texting? I like texting so my family and friends can respond to me when they have time.
    Fancy dinner or takeout and a movie? Both. I like fancy dinners on special occasions.
    Acknowledgement or anonymity? Both. It depends.

  15. These are my answers

    Calling or texting? I don’t like calling so texting but if family does not answer a text I’ll call.
    Fancy dinner or takeout and a movie? Both. Fancy dinner for special occasions
    Acknowledgement or anonymity? As for your that all depends.

    1. Same here. In fact the other night, my son didn’t answer any of my texts. So I sent him another to the effect of, “I’m calling an ambulance because I think something has happened to you.” In less than a minute, he called me. LOL

      Thank you so much for playing! Happy Friday!

  16. Love your answers KymberNoodle. But actually, I LOVE calling better than texting. ☎ I’m a natural born talker ladybug! Love these and Happy Thursday! 😍💐😁💋🤗

  17. I enjoyed your answers!

    Calling or texting? – Texting, but lately I also really crave phone calls. I’m not great at exiting them before they get tedious, which is why I default to text.

    Fancy dinner or takeout and a movie? Fancy dinner, because I do it so seldom.

    Acknowledgement or anonymity? I’d answer similar for this one. It really depends. I like doing things secretly, but there have been times it was the wrong call.

    1. I hear you about phone calls. I default to texting, too.

      I hope you get out for a fancy dinner soon! 🙂

      I see what you mean about anonymity.

      Thank you so much for playing. And Happy Friday!❤

  20. I L <3 VE that you do these, Kymber <3 and I so enjoy yours and everybody’s answers! 🙂 My response is all of the above (lol) !!! I’ve been at a fancy restaurant on the phone and texting at the same time while dying of embarrassment trying to be inconspicuous … Ohhh, has your phone gone OFF at the movies yet (Kill me NOW) !!?

  21. Calling or texting? I like calling better. My thumbs are just not small enough to do a cogent interchange.
    Fancy dinner or takeout and a movie? I do like both but since covid I have succumbed to the joys of eating in my PJs
    Acknowledgement or anonymity? Give me acknowledgement every time. When someone says they like my story I’m all goose bumpy. Acknowledgement keeps me going.

  22. Round #40 – This or That:
    Calling or texting? Texting. I’m hard of hearing, so I abhor chatting on phones, especially on today’s smartphones.
    Fancy dinner or takeout and a movie? Takeout and a movie. Fancy dinners are too pricey.
    Acknowledgement or anonymity? In the writing world, at least? Acknowledgment. I wouldn’t publish blog posts, novellas, or novels under my own name if I wanted anonymity. Otherwise….

  23. Awesome answers as usual Kymber 😊 will be posting on this one later 🙏 but I agree with you 😀 happy Thursday! 💕 🐈‍⬛ 🐈

  24. I agree with you, texting is better for me. I’ve never liked talking on the phone.
    Once in awhile it’s nice to go to a sit down restaurant, but we haven’t been since before the pandemic. We get take out all the time, and watch TV. Suits us fine.
    I am happy when people like my writing, and if I do other things I don’t need anyone to praise me for it, I just do thing because I want to.

  25. Greta questions and answers, Kymber. For me- talking comes first, then emailing, then texting – though I still plod through all the words and with no shortcuts, so the younger memebers of my family roll their eyes!! LOL Meals out are fun ( as long as no one is ‘phubbing – eyes fixed on mobs and ignoring all around them!) See, I’m OLD!! 🤣🤣🤣. Anonymity ever time – so embarrassing to be put into the limelight – and not needed … unless… unless it’s about my books – then I can shout it from the rooftops that I’m still here and writing. I’m not really that old – but I have been sixty for a few years. Love your posts. Judith x

    1. Thank you, Judith. 🙂

      The younger ones in my family roll their eyes at me, too. LOL

      LOL I didn’t know about “phubbing.” A new word for the vocabulary! 😀

      I agree that it’s embarrassing to be in the limelight. It’s simply not needed in my world either.

      Haha. I love it!

      Happy Thursday, Judith!

  26. I always prefer to call. Speaking to someone is so much more personal.
    I like fancy dinners as a treat to celebrate something. But a cool ol’ movie and takeout is always welcome!
    Like you, it depends what it is. Writing – it’s good to get acknowledgement, but I’m happy to stay in the background for other things.

    1. That’s true. And you can hear the inflection in the voice for better understanding.

      I agree with you 100%!

      Yes, I understand that completely.

      Thank you for playing, Esther! Happy Thursday!

  27. Wow! 40 already? You’re on a roll, Kymber. 😎

    1) I prefer calling to texting, because my arthritic fingers have a hard time with that tiny keyboard. Better now, since I synced the phone with the laptop. 👍 Good thing, since phone calls seem to have fallen out of favour. 😆

    2) Both. Fancy dinners out have become an occasional luxury, though, since restaurant prices have skyrocketed. Takeout is something we do more frequently.

    3) I agree with your answer. We all have our public online identities and it’s nice to be acknowledged for our creative efforts. Private good works are done from the heart and don’t need recognition.

    Reply

    1. Right? I can’t believe it’s #40 either! lol

      1) Arthritis would definitely make a difference. I love that my phone is synched to the laptop, too.

      2) Same here. I totally agree with you.

      3) You said that so well, Debbie! Yes!

      Thank you for playing, and happy Thursday!

  28. These are good questions. I’ll give it my best shot:

    Honestly, most of the time, neither. I would rather email. But, if instant communication is necessary, I prefer texting of calling, which has changed over time. I much prefer in person conversation, though, to any of the above.
    Fancy dinners are nice, maybe once a year, for special occasions. In general, I prefer takeout and a movie. Or maybe a movie at one of those movie grill places.
    While acknowledgment makes my ego feel all warm and fuzzy, most of the time I prefer anonymity. Like you said, I don’t need a pat on the back for my “good deeds.” It gives me joy to see some one say, publicly, “this need was met,” without saying that we were the ones who contributed. It’s even more fun if I can do it without the person in need knowing it was me.

    1. Hi, Jeff! I’m glad you like the questions.

      I agree with you about speaking to people in person. I’m always worried when I text that since the recipient cannot hear my tone of voice, they might take it the wrong way.

      I think of fancy dinners for an anniversary or something, like you. I love going to the theater, so I agree with you totally.

      Yes! That is fun when they don’t know it is you.

      Thank you so much for playing! Happy Thursday!
