1. Share one way you think the world has changed for the better since you were a kid?
Technology — the Internet, cable or satelite tv, laptop computers, portable tablets, wireless smart phones. It is amazing. I now have friends on every continent of the world, including my mates down under. 🙂
2. How ’bout one way it’s changed for the worse?
Technology — you have to be a super woman to take advantage of it all. Plus, you can get so caught up in it all that you never leave your house. Downside, everything is virtual. You forget about time zones, and there is also a lack of the personal contact : you know: face to face. You really have to be careful not to let it become an addition. (Hey, it is too late for me.)
3. Starlight, starfish, starling, Starbucks…your favorite ‘star’?
Starlings. I love taking pictures of birds and then going to Starbucks or my local coffee shop in the starlight and upload them. I don’t get to see to many starfish except on the Internet. (See number two about the personal contact.)
4. Name a song that’s overplayed, but you love it anyway?
5. When did you last have home made ice cream? In June at Grill Marks, a Greenville, SC burger joint on Main Street. There ice cream is homemade. You have to try their Dutch chocolate milkshake. (Awwww, yum.)
Your latest favorite flavor? Dutch chocolate, now.
6. What do you think is the best way to inspire or motivate people? Listen to their ideas or read what they have to say, find the most important or most exciting thing and praise them for it.
7. When was the last time you were without power? Last week when a storm hit in our county. We have without power about three times this summer for several hours each time.
8. Insert your own random thought here.Back to the over doing it again: this post is my second one today. If you missed my morning post here it is:

I’m an avid birder too…if you ever post your bird photos on your blog, do consider adding the post link of your photos on my Birding Blog Meme that opens each and every Saturday at 12 NOON [Texas Central Daylight Time]. The other birders that share their photos would really enjoy what you spot and photograph. [the link to my birding blog is on my personal blog’s sidebar “I’d Rather B Birdin” —the bumper sticker like graphic]
By the way….dutch chocolate sounds yummy ’bout now!!!
How did you make my mouse curser turn into a rose? 🙂
Hi, I didn’t. My blog designer did. Click on her Charming by Design icon at the bottom of the right hand side bar. She is totally responsible for my blog design.
Some of our answers were very similar! We used to live in SC for 9 years.
Enjoyed reading your answers. I like Phillip Phillip! Enjoy the rest of your day….
I’ve wanted to go to South Caroline for quite some time i will try that place if i am ever in that area! My mom will love it since Mark’s my brothers name and that’s his favorite kind of food aka “brown food” 🙂 Dutch milkshake sounds heavenly! Enjoy your day!
Just so you know this is the first time I’ve heard either one of the videos. I’m so out of it.
Have a terrific day. ☺
Hi, I haven’t seen the videos either but I hear the songs everytime I am listening to the radio in the car. 🙂
