WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #364



1. In Monday’s post I mentioned I would incorporate the word I was given for letter K into this week’s questions. That word was karaoke. On a scale of 1-10 how excited would you be to find out there was karaoke happening at your next gathering/outing with friends? 10=gimme that microphone!, and 1=I suddenly remembered there’s somewhere else I need to be. Have you ever actually done karaoke? If you had to perform karaoke what would be your ‘go-to’song?

I don't remember ever doing it, way too shy, but at this point and time in my life I would like to give it a try. I would give it an 8! "Can't Smile Without You" by Barry Manilow. 

2. How do you listen to music these days? Favorite app or do you listen the old fashioned way? Do you have music playing often in your home? Is there still a CD player in your car?

I listen from my phone on Google play but usually buy the songs on Amazon. I still play CD's in the house and still buy one from time to time if it comes with a free download. That way I can play it in my car or in the house. So yes I have one in my car! I could listen from our Google Mini Nest. 

3. The HP lands on US tax day this year. Or what used to be tax day before everything including filing your taxes was cancelled, delayed, postponed or extended. FYI- filing your taxes has not been cancelled, only delayed for a bit.

Besides staying away from anyone and everyone, what have you found taxing lately?

Took me awhile to figure out what HP was....LOL! Everything is taxing. Nothing has really changed in my daily life, we are usually home a lot, yet I feel each day is taxing right now. I can't seem to complete anything and the day is over before I know it.

4. You’re without power so no oven, and you can’t open your frig or freezer in order to keep what’s in there from spoiling. And you don’t have access to take out. What will you make us for dinner?

Sardines!!! OMG this is a hard one. Our pantry is full of canned goods but they are normally heated and I'm drawing a blank here. I imagine I could put together one of those no bake cookie recipes or protein bars. 

So here is my husbands answer...."you can still light the gas stove with a match so we can heat things up."  

5.  I’ve seen this exercise going around Facebook and thought it would be a good one to include in the HP...what are five things everybody seems to love and go crazy for that you personally don’t care for?

Good question, I'm not sure. I will say Football and Baseball, can't think of anything else. 

6.  Insert your own random thought here.

OK, I must be brain dead because I can't figure out what HP is that lands on tax day.

Theresa said...

I love your song choice for karaoke. I would sing along with you :)

Gloria said...

Enjoyed your answers today.
#6 made me laugh and that's
good these days.

MadSnapper said...

Silly slapstick movies.

Susan said...

That cartoon is funny!

Great song choice Debby. I LOVE Barry Manilow; and, in fact, used to have an adult crush on him. :)
That face mask is hysterical!

betty said...

I love that wine mask :) Never tried karokee either but enjoyed hearing it the one time we were at a bar and they had karokee night. I think its cool there are so many ways to listen to music these days between CDs still plus Pandora, etc. Makes one never have to have quiet unless they want to have quiet :) Just thought of this so I'll ask, how's Mark's sister and family getting along here in this area?

Had to chuckle at your HP comment. My first thought was Harry Potter. LOL! Loved your random thought cartoon. Give me a white one please? :)

ellen b. said...

Yep, I miss my gas cooktop. Everything in this bungalow is electric! Happy Hodgepodge to you. BTW it took me a while to figure out what HP was, too.

maddie/cadesmimi said...

I wish I still had my gas stove, too!
Debby, the days slip by for me, too, without me getting much accomplished. Oh, well...

No karaoke for me unless I have A LOT of drinks and I really don't drink too much! lol
I would LOVE a gas stove myself.

Elizabeth "Libby" Day said...

When my husband was reviewing my post, he asked the same question about what is HP. Joyce gave us a brain challenge as well as the questions this week, didn't she.

NO...NO....and NOPE..I have never done and unless I am drunk out of my mind I will never do(haha I don't do the drunk part either)...I can't hum in tune, so you know I can't sing in tune. NOPE...

2. How do you listen to music these days? Favorite app or do you listen the old fashioned way? Do you have music playing often in your home? Is there still a CD player in your car?

The radio in my car never gets turned off. The only time it did was when mom rode with me. She hated a radio. Said it reminded her of the days of the depression with only a radio to listen to. TV is usually going all day. But if I want music I have a cassette, CD, radio combo. Plus a record player. At work, I always had a radio going at my desk but working now, we are closer and even down low I don't want anyone to be bothered.

Not being around people...I love my friends

COOKIES...haah

5. I’ve seen this exercise going around Facebook and thought it would be a good one to include in the HP...what are five things everybody seems to love and go crazy for that you personally don’t care for?

with you on the sports I think

6. Insert your own random thought here.

Random thoughts are so hard for me ...you see I can express them freely until I am told I can or are asked to....haha. I think right now, will the world bounce back and when.

Cathy said...

I couldn't figure it out for awhile either. lol

Joyce said...

I often use that abbreviation for the Hodgepodge, but my husband read it and asked, 'what's HP?' ha! I'm not feeling overly productive these days but I think that's okay. I'm normally high energy and this feels like the right time to insert some quiet. Take care and stay well!

Carla from The River said...

Ha.. your random.
We can sing together. :-)

Secret Agent Woman said...

I have never done karaoke and likely never will.

I'm with you on football and baseball being of no interest. I'd add pretty much all other sports to that!
