Silly Search

***

It seems every day I go googling, or wiki-ing, or AI-ing, searching for answers to all kinds of things. Sometimes I do want a real answer, and other times it’s just for fun. Here’s what I mean …

I look up for true facts about a subject … yes I do.

I look up about something I’ve seen or heard or read to find out more – yes I do.

I have trouble wording my search question so it will give me a relevant answer – yes I do.

I look up how to pronounce words quite a lot. One from the other day that I’ve wondered about is the word ‘archive’. Is it ar – chive (like the onion chive) or is it ar – kive (with a hard sound K), well it turns out it is the one with the K sound … not the onion chive. I’ve always called it chive, but now I know.  haha

I like making up stuff to look up to kind of play a game with the answer deal … stump the google or whatever. =  yes I do.

I sometimes look up my home address … but in different cities and countries. Very interesting what shows up… sometimes fancy houses, sometimes a vacant lot.

I make up poems with some of the extras on the list of what to search next – yes I do.

Sometimes I do get a blank stare, or a no answer, so Yay I’ve stumped the answer deal! haha

So today I think I’ll make a note on here on what silly thing I’ve looked up.

Today so far I’ve looked up … stuff about the tv show McGyver. I never watched that show, but I knew about it. This morning we were watching it, and I noticed there was a younger guy playing the lead character, McGyver. So I was confused. I thought the person was much older in that show. And I found out I was right. It was a new updated version of the show. Not real current, but more recent than the ones from the 70s.

That’s so far today… and the day is early 8 a.m. here ( ugh time change today). No telling what else I’ll want to look up.

How about you? What kinds of things do you look up?

random thoughts

***

Sometimes I keep a list of thoughts I have randomly, and here are some.

 

1. Buffalo Wallow. I think I mentioned this one time before, but when I was a kid we had a low place in the front yard that was always there. I imagined it was where buffalo in the old days would roll around in the dirt.

2. Dinosaur earbuds. I had some earbuds and one side quit working, so I asked my husband to get me a new package when he went to the store a few weeks ago. He did, and they work fine. They have dinosaur (T-Rex) head on them, so it looks like I have dinosaurs in my ears now. haha!

3. Odd Google searches. I’m always thinking of odd and weird things to look up. Today’s was the Squid Gourd. What’s that?? Well it’s a decorative gourd that is pretty newly developed. It was at our store with all the other pumpkins and decorative gourds. It looks kind of like a squid, actually. It’s green and yellow with lots of fat tentacles looking things around the edges. It says on the label it’s name is “Squidmo”  haha

4. Funny things I hear wrong. Mostly I hear things wrong because I’m only half way paying attention, to someone talking, or to what’s on TV. Anyway, on Oct 11, 2024 – a bank advertisement on TV I thought they said ‘this is the Muggle Bank for you!”

***

  1. Funny memory first thing this morning Oct. 15. I saw a moth fluttering around, and it reminded me of my moth story, but also we used to call them ‘candle bugs’. Why? and also when the girls were little the older one told the younger one  that moths were really ‘space coasters‘ !!! and they lived in the house walls, and would come out of this little hole we had in the wall. This of course wasn’t true. But the younger one believed it and was always afraid of them when she saw them. (I think there was a kid’s tv show with that name back then, too)

This is a moth, but the ones that swarmed us that day were just dark gray.

Thoughts about this and that …

What if all the kid actors of TV shows from a long time ago and those of more recent shows got together and knew each other and lived in the same neighborhood? That would be interesting, weird, and maybe fun? Let me list who I can think of:

  1. Beaver & Wally Cleaver , Eddie Haskell, Lumpy Rutherford (Leave it to Beaver)
  2. Dennis (Dennis the Menace)
  3. Opie ( Andy Griffith Show)
  4. Mark ( the Rifleman)
  5. the Brady kids (Gregg, Marcia, Jan, Bobby, Cindy, Peter ) the Brady Bunch
  6. Harold (Hazel)
  7. Little Ricky ( I Love Lucy)
  8. Eddie (the Munsters)
  9. Sheldon & Missy & Georgie (Young Sheldon & Big Bang Theory)
  10. Robbie, Chip & Ernie ( My 3 Sons)
  11. Betty, Bud, & Kathy ( Father Knows Best)
  12. Buffy & Jody (Family Affair)
  13. Timmy (Lassie)

I know there are a lot more I’m forgetting about, or that I don’t remember much about the shows they were on.

And then, what about the pets the kids had?

Timmy had the collie dog Lassie

Harold had the big mix breed dog Smiley

The Brady’s had Tiger the dog. What happened to their cat, Fluffy?

The Douglas’s had the shaggy looking dog, Tramp, and when Ernie came along he brought his dog Wilson. But what happened to Wilson? No one knows!

The Anderson’s had temporary pets, a kitten, Fluffy, who Kathy thinks she did magic on and turned him into a bird. Also she finds a bird and tries to keep it for awhile. Kathy tried to keep a pony in their garage, who belonged to a photographer, too.

The Cleaver boys were always scheming to get a pet. They sent off for a baby alligator, and hid him in the bathroom for awhile, before giving him to an alligator farm (which just happened to be in their town! Yeah right! ) Then Beaver tried raising pigeons, which didn’t work out at all. He pretended to own a parrot for a pet show at school (but it was rented). He had a rat, and some mice one time, too. Plus dogs and cats were , heh heh following him home, but he wasn’t allowed to keep them. Oh, and a monkey, who caused a whole lot of trouble. He didn’t stay around long. They also had a horse in the garage for a day or so.

Mark had his horse.

Dennis had some fish, and was always trying to get a horse. Funny, I remember in the cartoons, Dennis had a dog named Ruff, but I don’t remember him having the dog on the TV show. Wonder why?

Opie had a pretend horse called Blackie, and got in a lot of trouble with his pretending for awhile. He did have a parakeet or canary for a short time, and also saved some baby birds, but finally let them fly away. (why I will not watch this episode ever … he killed the baby birds mother bird with a slingshot)

***

📚📚📚📚📚

Something else … I like to read book reviews, if they catch my attention that I might like the book. So I read about it, and save the title and author, in the hopes of someday getting the book to read the whole thing. I have notebooks full of these.

But I never do. I never have any money to buy a book, so why do I keep a list of those that sound good that I might get someday, when I know that day will never come?

Is it enough to just read the snippet of what the book is about? Is that enough to say you’ve pretty much read the book and got the main point to it? It doesn’t feel satisfying, though. I’m sure there’s more interesting parts to the book.

However, I have bought books that look like a fabulous one that I’d love, only to be very disappointed. The blurb part was the only good part of the book. Everything else was just blah. So I wasted my hard to come by money on a crap book. Ugh! So now I’m afraid to even buy any more if I could, because they might be a waste of money too.

Now, you might say just go to the library and those books are free to check out. Sure they are, and I love going to the library. But now I’m not able to get out of the house to go anywhere, much less the library. Also, the last few times I did go, I couldn’t find any of the books on my lists, and very few new ones looked any good. Plus a new book you only get a few days to keep it, and it might take me longer. Then you have to re-check it, and finally have to travel back to the library to take it back. Where we live the libraries, we have 3, are too far away anyway.

Yes, I’ve tried the online checkout deal, Libby, or whatever it’s called. It never worked for me. Every book I tried to get they didn’t have, and it would be many months before they would. All the free kind of books are the kind I’d never read, like cheesy romance kind.

So, not long ago I threw away sacks and boxes of actual books I had. I didn’t want to, but I’d read them so many times I was bored with them. Plus they were taking up so much space. I still have a bunch, so I just keep re-reading them, even though they are so boring now. My kindle is full of boring ones, I’ve read over and over too.

Well, enough complaining.

Random Post From 2018 + More Stuff

Random Post From 2018 + More Stuff

***

Sometimes I want to post something here because it’s weird to only have one flower post. I usually have lots. But sometimes I get mostly all caught up with challenges, with reading your blogs, emails, comments and answering, and leaving some for you, too. I still have plenty of time to do some more. Maybe you get tired of seeing my posts. Sometimes there are quite a few it seems.

Oh well, here’s the one from 2018 about random thoughts.

Random Post # I can’t remember

***

One – There’s a balancing point, it seems for me, between having way too many emails and blogs to be read, and being all caught up, with nothing new to read. I still don’t know which is the best.

Two – Some parts of a day pass really fast, but other parts of the day go by so slowly. Why is that?

Three – Three is still the magic number.

Four – Every day we ask what’s for lunch, what’s for supper, and nothing sounds good…ever.

Five – Do TV ad marketers really think that playing the same imbecilic ads multiple times will drum up business?

Six – Clumsy should be my middle name.

Seven – Just looking at my email notices, and the oldest one I’ve never deleted is from May, 15, 2014. It was a reminder that my Tumblr site was a year old. I haven’t looked at it in all these years. Does anyone still use Tumblr? I couldn’t really figure it out. Is it a dinosaur of the internet?

***Now I have these lines on here, and don’t know how to delete them.

Now back to today: There were some weird lines I couldn’t figure out where they came from. But they are gone now.

1. I went to my eye doctor appointment Monday. All was good, but I need new prescriptions for my glasses. It will be about 2 weeks when I get them. I keep my frames, because I like them.

2. I spent some time looking for a song. I hear it in my mind, but not sure of the words. Had no idea the name or the artist who sang it. It was from 1976! I’ve found it before, but I keep loosing it. Finally found it. It is “Love Is Alive” by Gary Wright. I remember we had a green 2 door car with black vinyl top, I was expecting my first child, I was listening to it in the car one time when I had to stop in the Kmart parking lot and throw up. Then I had some lemon drops candies.  hahaha

3. Every few years I get  to wanting to find a couple of books I read long ago. I cannot find them, and it bugs me so  much. I’ve asked here on the blog if anyone knows them, but no one does. I know I didn’t make them up! Same for another song I can’t find.

Here’s what I know about them: …

Book – a sci/fy kind maybe – has some weird animal dog? called a Padog.

Book – “Point of No Return” – about a couple of military groups in Japan in the winter time – they had a horrible time in the weather.

Book – “The Green Room” or “In the Green Room” – I know there was a green room = it was the holding room when you first get to heaven, while you learn how heaven works, and what you are expected to do there.

Song – Heard this lots on the grocery store music that plays while you’re shopping. Sort of techno? Couldn’t understand any of the words, but one – a drawn out ooookkkkaaayyy…

That’s all.

Here’s that song, “Love Is Alive”

One Word Sunday – Star

For Debbie’s challenge:

Star

I like the name of this bright orange flower. It is a Sun Star Succulent flower. The many petaled flowers surround a green stalk of segments. They look kind of like a tall artichoke!

Odd Thoughts

❓❓❓

Sometimes I find myself thinking odd thoughts. Why, I don’t know. Maybe you do, too?

Here’s something.

Have you ever been reading a blog post from one of your regulars, and what you’re reading is totally different in some way? Like, the subject is slightly different than their usual, or the tone/voice sounds off and not like the usual? I have this happen every once in awhile.

Then you think to yourself, how dumb I am. I was reading a different person’s blog the whole time. Then it all makes sense.

I see my email notices list and click on one I want to read, but somehow I clicked the one above or below, and so I’m on a totally different blog than I intended … but I think I’m on the one I wanted. So it sounds all wrong. This happened the other morning already. I read a blog by someone I’m pretty sure is a guy’s blog. But the one I was reading sounded like a girl was writing it. What was going on? Then, I realized I was on a different blog than I thought. haha 🙂

***

And here’s another …

You follow all kinds of people’s blogs and get to know a little about them through their posts. Sometimes there are a couple of bloggers who could be almost twins, in that they sort of look alike (if you’ve seen photos), they write about the same type of things especially if they both do the blog challenges, and you wonder if they even realize this, or if they know of the other one’s blog. I could switch their names and their posts could almost be mirror images. Not that they are copying the other, because they aren’t, and they don’t even know each other, as far as I know, and they live in different countries, even. But they are so alike it’s strange.

thought I might write a poem with some magnetic poetry tiles, but then found out I’m not really in a poem-ing kind of mood.

it’s father’s day, but both mine and my husband’s dads are not with us any more. both my daughters did give their dad gifts, phone calls, and texts today and on friday, too.

the kids in the house behind ours are having fun jumping on their trampoline. to keep cool they have the sprinkler spraying on them as they jump.

i usually do a song on sunday for song lyric sunday, but i couldn’t find one i liked, so i skipped it today.

the other day my grand-daughter and i were doing the phone face-time, which we do a lot of times. i was having my coffee and eating a cookie and taking small bites in-between talking. we talked for about an hour and right at the end of the call i finished my one cookie. She was laughing so much about my ‘never-ending cookie’ which lasted the whole phone call.

my daughter, grand-daughter, and i went to visit my aunt the other day. it was nice to be out of the house again and seeing family after so long.

i still do the coloring books sometimes, but not so much recently. i should do more, as i do like it.

i’m still thinking about writing about all the different houses i’ve lived in. i tried to find some photos, but only came up with a couple, so i kinda got out of the mood. for now, but still want to.

my computer or rather WP has been acting strange the past few days. i guess it’s still doing it? i’ve been told by several different readers that when they click on my name it takes them to my admin page and not my blog page. i don’t know why, or how to fix it. i did chat with the WP helpers and they checked but couldn’t find anything wrong. … except there is!

i haven’t been capitalizing anything, just because i didn’t want to.

so … hope y’all have been having a fun weekend!

Letter to myself:

Dear Ghost,

Be flash about music

Rules challenge you

Scared?

Behind tragedy, smiles escaped

Independent evening learned

Worldwide – pick anything

Myths painted without fun

Peace, rain, art … Quiet ahhhh

Medicine pin release
