Easy-peasy!



TWO foods you can't stand

Sushi
Oysters

(Runner-up, watermelon)

FOUR foods you love

Aged cheese

... on a regular basis.
Other "once in a while" favs include everything from escargot ... to onion rings ... to butterscotch.



TWO places you never want to see again

Hospital emergency room
Belize

Alaska
Tuscany (Italy) 



TWO musical artists who make you want to change the station

Mariah Carey
Any rapper

... and if I need a fire lit if company's coming and the house needs cleaned?   Let's go with Fleetwood Mac ... turn it up!



TWO moments you'd like to erase

Let's not go there; some things are 
far too personal.

FOUR moments you'd like to relive

Times spent with loved ones, now gone before.

I'd enjoy hearing your answers!

  2. I agree, sushi does not even sound good to me. However we disagree on oysters, I do love 'em. I did like Belize (I am sure I would not like their Emergency Room! either) But their one lane roads were interesting treated as two lanes. LOL
    Ahhh, I would like to see Ireland, Tuscany would be good also. Always enjoy our visits here. Hugs to the Saxy Guy!

  3. I never want to see another emergency room either, Myra. With all Danny's been through the past two years, there's such a thing as medical burn-out. Four foods I love? Switch salmon to crab cakes, and you have mine. Have a blessed Sunday!

  4. I have more than two that I would like to do over, but they will remain unmentioned.
    I am glad I chose today to pop in on all my old friends and found out you did NOT put Bradenton Fl on the list of places to return to, I mean why not the MadSnapper accross the table from you in Cracker Barrel? REAlly?
    glad to see you still have your humor and wish mine would come back, it might have just peeked out in this post.. I will not comment on ER, that says it all. the only food I love that you mentioned is butterscotch

  6. Some things are indeed too personal. I'd have to think carefully before answering these. There are many foods that I loathe and many more that I love. I hate sushi and lima beans. I admittedly love oysters - preferably smoked.
    Can't stand rap music. Dylan and Willie Nelson annoy me.
    Places I never want to see again - - hospitals, physical therapy, Texas.

    Two moments I'd like to erase? How about two hundred moments...... Jon

    1. I used to loathe limas, too ... until someone began putting them in camp stew.

  7. Wow ... Waylon Jennings and Fleetwood Mac. Great taste in music. You take me back to my radio presenter days. Also Tom T Hall, Bobby Bare, Willie Nelson, Beatles, Rolling Stones, 60s and 70s music. I even had Father Francis Maple singing live.

    I never had snails or oysters. But agree with you on your food choices.

    Great answers, Mevely. God bless.

    1. Your radio presenter days sound so enjoyable. I'd love to hear more sometime.

    2. I did manage to save some tapes from my Christian programs "Time for Reflections". I have put them on my Blog. Click the tab at the very top entitled "Reflections Soundtracks". The recordings are entitled "Victor on the radio" - including two with Fr Francis as guest.

      My other music programs (mostly 60s and 70s music) were not recorded. I just played records and chatted with people phoning in, or guests visiting the studio. It was mainly a music and chat show on Sundays from 3:00pm to 7:00pm. Too long to record.

      God bless, Mevely. Thank you for your interest and support.

  9. Foods I detest...liver!!! the rest i can manage to eat though not often.

    Love Gaither Gospel music, Andrea Bocelli, Old time Oakridge Boys and the group Home Free (a cappella at it finest.
    I would like to erase the time that I got our tour group lost and late for their banquet with the College President on my bus coach. My stomach turns when I even think about it now. Incidentally we did finally make our destination. This was before cell phones and GPS..groan.
    I would like to relive many of our vacations and trips that were wonderful adventures.
    Great questions Myra.

  12. Having just left the ER and Hospital, I can truly say I hope to never have to go there again! Although I was well taken care of, all things considered, I'd far rather be in a nice cabin in the mountains or a beautiful hotel on the beach or someplace with lots of great room service! LOL. I enjoyed and appreciated your answers...I totally get it!

  16. I love watermelon and pan fried oysters. I won't eat chicken gizzards or anything too hot and spicy. I love my food on the mild side. l love fleetwood mack, especially their song about aging. I don't like hip hop or rap music. I love Texas and going to the beach. I don't much like Ohio and the cold winters there. I likes to be hot much more than I like being cold. Hope you have a wonderful new week and many serendiptous moments! Love, ma

  17. I agree with you on most things. I hate rap music. Can't say much for sushi, oysters, fish, and coconut.
    No more hospital rooms.
    Never been to Belize - why did you not like it?

    1. Long story (destination wedding), but much had to do with the weather. Plus, it (seemed to me) was/is like a third-world country.

    1. That's definitely someplace I wouldn't ever want to work.

  19. Love me some oysters (not raw) but don't know if I could tolerate escargot !!! ☺ Sure can relate and agree with seeing another hospital. Been there too many times in recent years. I had a fun time visiting today, hope all is well with you♥

    1. I think the melted garlic butter has lots to do with me enjoying escargot. Good point about rap!

  20. I agree with the sushi. I like the four foods but I do try to stay away from steak because of my cholesterol. I agree with the emergency room. It takes all day! Those are nice places you visited. I love Barry Manilow and have been to several of his concerts. Definitely spending time with your loved ones would be nice.
