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 #103⋅⋆ ─────
1. What’s something you enjoy that would confuse a time traveler from 1920?
2. What’s a tiny superstition you follow even though you know it doesn’t matter?
3. What’s something you do that always feels like it should have background music?
───── ⋆⋅Here are my answers⋅⋆ ─────
- Binge watching an entire season of a show in one sitting. They’d expect reels, projectors, and a ticket booth. Instead, they’d see me tap a screen, watch hours of story appear instantly, and wonder why the machine never needs to be rewound.
- I knock on wood even when the wood is questionable. If I’m in the kitchen, I tap a cabinet. If I’m in the car, I tap the dashboard. Half the time I’m not even sure it’s real wood, but I do it anyway like I’m keeping fate on its toes.
- Opening the fridge and staring inside like I’m waiting for a plot twist. It’s just leftovers and condiments, but the moment always feels like it deserves a slow, suspenseful score.
And now it’s your turn. If you’d rather just read, that’s perfectly fine. A quick hello would be lovely, and quiet lurkers are always welcome. xo
Thank you so much for reading, liking, lurking, and commenting! You are important!

I love these questions and your answers. I’ve never thought of music while staring in the refrigerator, which I’m definitely famous for. That would make the experience ever more fun. Especially, since I tend to do it a few times a day. Sometimes, only minutes after the last time I looked in. Like something new will suddenly show up. LOL
Here’s mine:

Thank you. I love how you described that refrigerator moment. It really is its own little ritual. Looking forward to your answers!
Binge watching is a good answer. Someone from the 1920s would be amazed and so confused at the same time. 😄
Thank you, Jenn. I think so, too. 😂
I liked these answers
Thanks so much, Jo-Anne!
Fun questions, and I like your answers! I do the knock wood thing, too, and that last one looking in the refrigerator is such a good answer. It would be great to have it play music, too.

Can’t wait to read your answers! Thank you for joining in!
What’s something you enjoy that would confuse a time traveler from 1920? Telling Alexia to turn on the TV.
What’s a tiny superstition you follow even though you know it doesn’t matter? I always say knock wood when discussing an outcome.
What’s something you do that always feels like it should have background music? Waiting for the kitchen hot water to get hot. I swear it goes to Boston first.
If your hot water’s going all the way to Boston first, it must be stopping for coffee on the way back. No wonder you’re standing there waiting.😂
Here’s my entry Kymber 💜

Cool! Thank you so much, Maggie!🩷
What’s something you enjoy that would confuse a time traveler from 1920? My computer. My cell phone. There are so many things.
What’s a tiny superstition you follow even though you know it doesn’t matter? When I’m walking I touch certain things as I pass them. I have no idea why, but if I don’t something awful will happen.
What’s something you do that always feels like it should have background music? Walking. Someone should be playing the Rocky theme song.
Have a fabulous day and rest of the week, Kymber. Love and hugs to you and scritches to the kitties. ♥
I like how your answers move from everyday tech to touching things on your walk because it feels right. And the Rocky theme for walking made me laugh. I can just picture it! Have a fabulous day, Sandee. Love and hugs back, and the kitties will enjoy every scritch.🩷
Those are great questions and great answers. Below are mine. I should say that I changed the numbers by adding a Q because I’ve noticed that numbers by themself vanish.
Q1. What’s something you enjoy that would confuse a time traveler from 1920? —
I use my Samsung Galaxy Android, made in Korea, to connect with the world, ask AI questions, and I use GPS to track traffic, and GPS uses the General Theory of Relativity for accuracy, and to share pictures of dogs. On top of it the name, Galaxy, a one of trillions, that’s a cluster of hundreds of billions of stars, and people did not know what a Galaxy was back then.
Q2. What’s a tiny superstition you follow even though you know it doesn’t matter? —
Before I review a book, I make sure I read all of it without skipping anything (except the end notes). If there was something in the book that I did not read I won’t review it. It does not matter if I did not like it. That’s not really superstition, just kind of OCD-sort-of, but I am not superstitious.
Q3. What’s something you do that always feels like it should have background music? —
That would be me walking the dog. Beautiful happy music.
I love how your answers escalate from sharing dog photos to invoking the General Theory of Relativity. The happy‑music dog walks are my favorite part, though. That’s exactly the kind of everyday moment that deserves its own soundtrack.🌺

Thank you so much for joining in! I can’t wait to read your answers!
Having a cell phone in my hand. You can make calls from that thing? You can play games and text with people all over the world? What’s texting? You can get the weather in Beijing, China? Why would you even want the weather in another country?
Thanks, Bestie. Your time‑traveler reaction made me laugh. The weather-in-Beijing part is perfect. You always find the angle that makes the question fun.
What’s something you enjoy that would confuse a time traveler from 1920? ~ constant use of my iPhone
What’s a tiny superstition you follow even though you know it doesn’t matter? ~ counting things and considering certain numbers “better” than others
What’s something you do that always feels like it should have background music? ~ feeding my kitty
Thanks, Paula. The iPhone answer is a good one for that question. The number habit is interesting, and I liked the way you described it. Feeding your kitty with background music is perfect. Thank you for joining in!
Love your answers Kymber.
Here’s mine today

Thank you so much, Di. I’m glad you liked them.
I’m looking forward to your answers!
Constant use of my computer
Knock on wood
Sitting on the front porch at twilight in my rocker…..
Hugs, Pam
Pam, I like the mix in your answers. That quiet porch time at twilight sounds especially peaceful. Thanks for joining in this week.🌺
I like that thought with opening the frig!
LOL Thank you, Jacqui!

Can’t wait to read your answers!
The only one I can think of something is number two – when I board an aircraft I always use my right hand and place it on the fuselage of the aircraft before going onboard. It seems to work!
John, I love that you do that. Everyone has their own little ritual before boarding, and yours sounds like it brings a bit of reassurance. Glad you joined in this round.
a fop hat
speak it into fruition
no honking no elevator back ground music noize please
Your answers were delightfully unpredictable. A fop hat and no background noise is a very specific vibe. Glad you joined in.
You’re right about how opening the fridge and staring inside deserves the suspenseful score, Kymber 👍
I like this week’s questions. Here are my answers for today: https://aptivisjoyfulcorner.wordpress.com/2026/08/27/get-to-know-you-august-27th-2026-103/
Aptivi, I’m convinced half of life’s everyday moments deserve dramatic music. Opening the fridge is definitely one of them. I can’t wait to read your answers! 🌺😊
Thank you so much, Kymber! I’m with you 👍 those moments indeed deserve dramatic music score. ☺️🌸
Thanks, Aptivi. They really do. 🌺😊😀
You’re welcome, Kymber 🌸😃
