WEDNESDAY HODGEPODGE #585

Thank you Joyce.

1.  It's been said January is 'the month of opportunity, inspiration, and change." Which of the three do you need most right now? Elaborate.

I'm going to go with change. That would be regarding my health. I need help for my back issues to be taken care of. I need to see someone about my ankle and I have to have my cataracts removed. 

Things are pending on all of them and I do have appointments set up, it's just the fact that they are months out and that is frustrating. 

2. Do you consider opportunity as something that comes to you or something you create for yourself? 

I'm not sure about this one. I think it can go either way. 

3. The British Museum opened on this date (January 15th) back in 1759. Do you like visiting museums? Do you have a favorite? 

I have been to several over the years, but haven't been to any in a long time. I always liked the Field Museum in Chicago. I was also very impressed with the Louvre Museum in Paris and another museum in London. 

4. It's National Oatmeal Month (yes, apparently it gets a whole month as opposed to a single day). Do you like oatmeal? How often do you eat a bowl of oatmeal? How do you like yours? What about an oatmeal cookie? Is that a sweet treat you enjoy? 

I do like oatmeal but I forget to eat it. I haven't had it in awhile. I like it by itself but I also like it mixed into yogurt. Yes, an oatmeal cookie would be a sweet treat to enjoy. 

5.What's something useful you learned in high school?

When I was in high school they had two great classes that I believe were useful. Home Economics was one of them. I also liked a class that taught you typing, shorthand and copy machines at the time. It prepared me for my office job after high school. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

On Monday the 20th our first born, Adam, is turning 46. We will be celebrating with him this coming weekend. Where does the time go? Adam is just amazing, extremely kind and a wonderful husband to Gabby and a amazing father to James. We are very proud of him. 

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADAM!
WE LOVE YOU SO MUCH AND
WE ARE SO PROUD OF YOU.
LOVE, MOM AND DAD

Happy Birthday to Adam! Such a nice looking young man! Oh, I love oatmeal cookies with nuts and raisins, warm out of the oven. I may need to bake some now! LOL. I do hope you can get some relief for your medical issues soon. Waiting for needed appointments is no fun. Have a wonderful time with your family.

Happy birthday to Adam. You can see why James is such a cutie:) I hope you are able to get some "change" with your health concerns. That is a lot on your plate! Here's to change and healing in 2025!!

I hope you get some help with your health problems, waiting for appointments is so frustrating.
I remember home economic classes at school and they were so helpful for later life.
Happy birthday to your son! He sounds like a wonderful man, you must be so proud.

Love, Carla

Happy birthday blessings to Adam! I, too, took Home Economics, typing and shorthand while in high school. While the latter served me well, Home Ec is well, best forgotten!

I'm so glad yu have got all the appointments scheduled but sorry they are so far off. Hopefully you will get the relief you need.
Happy Birthday to your First Born. He's one handsome guy. Glad you will get to celebrate with them this weekend.
I am so glad I learned to type in high school.
It sure is better than the "hunt and peck" method.
I think I will be making chocolate chip cookies for Dave today. Oatmeal...not so much. Not my go to flavor.

Happy Birthday, Adam. I eat oatmeal but the only way I can say I like it is in oatmeal cookies. I have been toasting oats, sunflower nuts and raisins and using as ceral to hide the taste. before IBS I loved it with just butter and salt or sweet and creamy.
I like some museums, not all though. Ringling Brothers is my favorite, and I would like to visit the glass museum in st Pete. I like old homes that are museums.
I got a C minus in home ec and the only thing I hated more than home ec was GYM and business math. wait, I hated everything in school

Great answers, I enjoy museums I hope Adam had a great birthday

Chatty Crone said...

I am like you - I love oatmeal but forget to eat it. IT is so good for you.
Happy birthday Adam - I love the photo of your family. Beautiful!

Happy Birthday, Adam! I'm so glad you live close to your mom and dad. About oatmeal, for some reason I've been craving it every day. I cook up a batch in my Instant Pot, mix it with raisins, and store it in the fridge to nibble on from time to time. Unusual, but it's healthy and makes me happy.

Susan said...

Happy Birthday to Adam! My son Andrew just turned 44 on Wednesday! Time goes by so quickly. I need to have my eyes checked again because I think the cataracts on the right are getting worse. Praying your other issues can get resolved quickly!

Cindy said...

Happy Birthday to Adam! Sorry about your health issues. Maybe the doctors will have cancellations and will call you to come in sooner! I eat oatmeal every single day for breakfast. It's good, especially during the cold winter months.
