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!
Round #79:
If you could only eat one kind of candy for the rest of your life, what would it be?
What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever worn?
If animals could talk, which one do you think would be the rudest?
Here are my answers:
Butterscotch Discs. Brach’s used to make them, but I don’t know who does now.
Sunglasses. Okay, here is the story…
Back when I was a hospice nurse, I spent day in and day out driving all over creation to visit my patients in their homes. One morning, it was particularly sunny so I reached down to grab my sunglasses off the passenger side floor of the car. They’d clearly been stepped on because one of the arms was broken off. But they were all I had, so I put them on anyway and went about my day.
I drove everywhere like that; in and out of houses, talking to families and doing my visits. I was so proud of myself for being prepared and meeting the needs of my patients.
It wasn’t until I was finally headed home, hours later, that I caught a glimpse of myself in the rearview mirror. The sunglasses weren’t just missing an arm.
One of the lenses was gone, too!
So, yeah, I spent the entire day wearing half a pair of sunglasses like it was completely normal.
True story.
Seagulls. I mean they already steal your fries. Imagine if they could talk, too! Or the llama. They already spit on you if they can. lol
Now, it’s your turn to play! 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
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

I actually do not eat candy. I don’t like it and often it is dusted with gluten. But if we can include chocolate then it would be chocolate covered cherries from the local chocolate specialty store.
Yoga pants with a hole in the inner thigh I did not know was there.
Hyenas!
They are the best. Anything in individual pieces that could stick together, not just candy is often dusted with flour or a gluten something to prevent the sticking.
M&M’s
The haircuts my parents made me get as a child.
Crows: Some crows attacked the nest of a family of cardinals near us. I read that they eat the eggs of other birds.
Reese’s PB cups. (R.I.P. Kerry)
A winter hat indoors after having a shunt put in my head as a kid and the teacher making me take it off even though half my head was shaved. School kids suck.
Cats. Everyone knows it’s cats. The looks they give you. Pet me. No, not there. Feed me now. “You have food.” I don’t want THAT food. lol
Mars bars. I have them like once a month but can only eat 2. I’m not really a sweet tooth.
Too embarrassing even to share. Not yet at least
Doves. Coz they can literally destroy a building by shitting everywhere. And the hoot a lot. They’d probably take a dump on me then call me ugly to boot😅
It would be some kind of chocolate that’s for sure!
I once tried to get away with wearing a guy’s button down with a belt like a dress…to work! At lunch I went to a local thrift and found some leggings to go under it.
The Billy goat. I have never encountered a nastier, mean, stupid, aggressive animal.
If you could only eat one kind of candy for the rest of your life, what would it be? I would eat Daim a Swedish candy bar with chocolate and hard caramel in the middle. Or may fruit snacks like Wine Gums.
What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever worn? Swim trunks that cracked leaving a big hole.
If animals could talk, which one do you think would be the rudest? I think crows would be very rude. They are already rude.
Daim sounds really good!
Oh no! You poor guy to have had that happen to your swim trunks.
I like that you said crows and think you’re right about that.
Cherry Mash or Bing
9 years old. The Beatles had arrived in the U.S. and were all the rage. I was invited to a birthday party of an older girl. The theme was dress as your favorite Beatle. I didn’t want to go. I wasn’t into the Beatles. My mom thought it would “do me good” to socialize (it didn’t). She dressed me as Ringo… Well her idea of Ringo. I already had a short, straight hairdo that she combed like a Beatle’s and she put her maroon, v-neck high school varsity sweater over a button-up white shirt on me with one of my dad’s ties, a pair of black jeans, and loafers.
I was mortified.
Geese are mean and rude without being able to talk. 😂
I’m tempted to say my cat would be the rudest animal, but it would probably be macaque monkeys. Those little dudes will run right up to people and grab food out of their hands, they raid villages, and during dry seasons when fruit is scarce, they’ll invade big cities like Hong Kong and Mumbai, not only stealing food but anything that catches their eye.
As for candy, gotta be Reeses. Having leftover Reeses after Halloween is dangerous for me lol.
I don’t think I’ve ever had the butterscotch discs you mentioned, but they sound good.
1) $100,000 bar. All the food groups: chocolate, caramel, fat & sugar 😆
2) I went to a toga party once and waited until the last moment to look for a sheet. All Sue could give me was one of our 4 yo’s with Barney all over it. Def got some looks.
3) Crows had a remarkable memory and recognize people… and they tell other crows. If you get on their good side, they’re very chill, but if not, they’ll follow you around squawking 🤨😂
If you could only eat one kind of candy for the rest of your life, what would it be? This is a tough one, but Kit Kat wins
What’s the most embarrassing thing you’ve ever worn? I took my kids to a hotel pool and forgot my suit. I had to buy a Speedo in the gift shop. The kids couldn’t stop laughing.
If animals could talk, which one do you think would be the rudest? I think the rhinoceros would be the rudest.
Funny story about the sunglasses! 😆 You obviously were very focused on your work, which is admirable. 💫
1) Has to be chocolate, especially Swiss, Belgian or German.
2) Looking back, some 60s fashions were pretty embarrassing, although they were the height of fashion at the time. One outfit I had: Neon green mini skirt with a multi-coloured vertical-striped blouse, and large, round, green plastic earrings. To top it off: White lipstick. 😆
3) I’d say cats, because they are so independent and do what they want. They don’t really care what their humans think, unlike dogs.
Milky Way bars…oh I am so not telling…let’s just say it involved a few mai tais a bar, and music by Santana…..the only “rude” animals I have ever met are……..sea gulls!
1 Chocolate. I k ow that’s the easy answer but it’s true.
2. Your sunglasses story made me laugh, and I have a glasses story too, but its reading glasses. I broke mine when we were on a trip and couldn’t find others to buy for a long time. So, I taped them back together and they worked. I got so comfortable with them I took them to breakfast one morning to read the menu, my phone etc, and got very strange looks from other customers. The funny thing is Richard had gotten used to them too, so he didn’t remind me!
3.mosquitos
Easy answer or not, chocolate is goood.
I’m glad my sunglasses story made you laugh. Your reading glasses story made me laugh, too.
Mosquitos! So true!!
1) English toffee. It is something I have only at Christmas.
2) An ugly sculpture. But that was the point. People were told to give out the ugliest gift they had ever received to someone new…Lucky Me.
3) Craows. They just can’t shut up and always the same sound over and over and over.

Hyenas, likely because I am influenced by the Lion King movies and there they were complete jerks.
They sure were! I didn’t think of them, but I’m certain you’re right.
I hadn’t any idea it was dusted with gluten. Chocolate covered cherries are so good. I bet they’re even better at the little shop.
Oh no. lol
Yikes! I agree!
They are the best. Anything in individual pieces that could stick together, not just candy is often dusted with flour or a gluten something to prevent the sticking.
I did not know that. One really has to know the ingredients in things!
M&M’s
The haircuts my parents made me get as a child.
Crows: Some crows attacked the nest of a family of cardinals near us. I read that they eat the eggs of other birds.
Oh, those haircuts. I remember those! I always ended up with a pixie cut and the neighborhood boys asking me if I was a boy or a girl. lol
Crows is a good answer!
Reese’s PB cups. (R.I.P. Kerry)

Cats. Everyone knows it’s cats. The looks they give you. Pet me. No, not there. Feed me now. “You have food.” I don’t want THAT food. lol
RIP Kerry. 💗
School kids do suck. And so did that teacher that made you take the hat off, bestie.
You can pet me exactly 3 times, then I bite. LOL
Mars bars. I have them like once a month but can only eat 2. I’m not really a sweet tooth.

Doves. Coz they can literally destroy a building by shitting everywhere. And the hoot a lot. They’d probably take a dump on me then call me ugly to boot😅
I don’t have a sweet tooth either but Mars bars are good!
I love that! LOLOLOL I can see doves doing just that!
[…] Chocolate Hobnobs, and plain digestives on a plate, so it must be time to join Kymber over at Boomcha.com for this week’s Get to Know […]
It would be some kind of chocolate that’s for sure!

The Billy goat. I have never encountered a nastier, mean, stupid, aggressive animal.
I hear you on chocolate!
I would have used lunch time to get some leggings, too. lol
Yes, for sure, the billy goat.
The story about the sunglasses gave me a laugh
LOL I’m so glad, Jo-Anne! It was a funny kind of day.
Hahaha about the half pair of sunglasses, too good! My answers to the fun questions are on my blog! xo
LOL I’m glad my sunglasses gave you a laugh. 😀 Can’t wait to read your answers!
1- chocolate covered cherries
2- probably something at Halloween
3- ants because everybody steps on them!
The Mister loves chocolate covered cherries, too.
Halloween is a great time to wear something embarrassing. lol
Yes, I bet you’re right about ants.
Yummy!
Right on! 🙂

Oh dear. I’m sorry for your mortified 9 year old self. 💗
You are right about geese!

I love macaque monkeys, but you are right about them. lol
I love Reeses, too!
The butterscotch discs are so, so good!
I’m a first timer here.

Hey Kymber! Happy Thursday! Here are mine…
1) $100,000 bar. All the food groups: chocolate, caramel, fat & sugar 😆

Hey, you’re right! It has all the food groups! Clever!
LOL at the Barney toga. Love it!
I hope I stay on the good side of crows. lol

Oh no. Dad in a Speedo. lol
I hadn’t thought of the rhino, but I bet you’re right!

Thank you, Debbie! I’m glad you understand how I could go the entire day with broken sunglasses. 😀
Yum. Chocolate.
I love the outfit you put together. Sounds awesome!
Yes, true about cats!
Milky Way bars…oh I am so not telling…let’s just say it involved a few mai tais a bar, and music by Santana…..the only “rude” animals I have ever met are……..sea gulls!
We won’t tell. Whisper it. lol

Love Milky Ways.
The Mai Tais will do it every time. lololol
Seagulls, for sure!
See’s dark chocolate nougat.
I have no idea about something I’ve worn that was embarrassing.
I’m with cats. They are most honest about everything.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week. Love and hugs. ♥
Dark chocolate, yum!
That’s a good thing. LOL
Cats – good answer!
You have a fab day and week, too, my sweet friend. Love and hugs.

Happy Thursday Kymber. Allan
English toffee is sooo good! You have a lot of discipline to only have them at Christmas.
LOL about the ugly sculpture.
You’re right about crows!
Happy Monday, Allan!
