Friday 5 for June 24: Scattergories Part 6

What random letter was generated by the online random-letter generator (this doesn’t really count as one of your five questions)? R

1. What brand or model of car, whose name begins with the letter, would you like to get?

R is for Rolls Royce. Nothing but the finest for this letter!

Rest and relaxation though I do that year round.

My 4 radios + Rolls Royce: iPod Touch, Insignia, Alcatel, Sony.

3. What’s an item in your desk whose name begins with the letter?

Radio!

4. What’s something, whose name begins with the letter, that you find frightening?

ROACHES! The Big B-52 ones that walk upside down on the ceiling and fly toward you when you try to kill them. Yuck!

5. If you had to get a tattoo on your upper arm, what’s something whose name begins with the letter that you could live with?

I'm not a tattoo kind of a guy but if I got one showcasing the letter R, I guess it would combine a Rolls Royce with a Rose... then you got a Rose Royce... oh that was a disco group from 1976.



Have a great weekend folks!

Friday 5 for June 17: A Week of Good Behavior


I am blessed to be alive and share God's gifts with you.

From Scrivener's Friday 5 blog: "Hello, and welcome to this week’s Friday 5!  Please copy these questions to your webspace.  Answer the questions there; then leave a comment below so we’ll all know where to check out your responses.  Please don’t forget to link us from your website!"

1. What’s the dumbest thing you did this week?

Skipping my daily walk.

2. In what way did you save yourself time or energy this week?

Usually walking to the nearby places that I shop at. Saved energy by not using the car.

3. How were you wasteful of personal and natural resources this week?

Sometimes I flush 2 or 3 times per session.

4. When this week did you take advantage of the opportunity to keep your mouth shut?

When I am with my friend Daniel, I avoid the subject of rail. He is strongly pro-rail, I am anti-rail. Best not to bring it up if we want to preserve our friendship.

5. In what way this week were you blessed or fortunate?

After my heart surgery nearly 6 months ago, I am blessed to be alive each and every day. Plus God gives us daily natural gifts to enjoy -- flowers, sunshine, sunrises, sunsets, the moon, stars and more.
