It’s Monday and this week Melanie is posting questions set by other bloggers.
Check it out here
QUESTIONS FROM BLOGGERS (MY PARTICIPANTS ARE GREAT!!)
Tena (I can’t find her blog, does anyone know if she’s left?) What constitutes a sandwich in your opinion? Is it only the standard two slices of bread, filling (including spreads or meats and cheeses and veggies), put together in a stack?
I like a BLT (bacon, lettuce and tomato) on granary bread, but a fresh baguette with bacon and mushrooms is equally as good. Toasted banana sandwiches are nice, as our the club sandwiches with three pieces of bread and two different filling.

Marilyn of Serendipity (In March, didn’t get the date. My bad) Are ‘strong’ and ‘tough’ in regard to character the same thing or different? Please explain your reasoning for either side you pick.
Strong is a power game (Will too) but being tough means you probably endure more.

Paula Light of Light Motifs II (4-5-2022)
- What’s your opinion on RSVPs?
Obviously, formal occasions require them, but what about invitations to dinner/movies and the like?
If a friend invites you to something, are you obligated to reply?
What if you say yes and change your mind?
How much notice is enough?
Is it OK to simply no-show to a casual social event you’ve already agreed to?
If you are asked to RSVP, it is common courtesy to do so. If you cannot make it, it is polite to inform your friend to that effect as soon as possible, even if you simply changed your mind.
As to say yes and be a no show, you would be off my Christmas card list unless there was a damn good reason.
I once catered for 30 people for a New Year’s Eve party, even checking with most of them the day before. I had originally invited 50, so thought 30 was a good average. There were 7 of us, and 5 of those were my own household. Never again.

Sadje: (4-5-2022) Do you think Hell has walls?
We build our own walls to protect ourselves. Who is to say that is not our private hell?

A Unique Title For Me (Jim) (4-5-2022)
- What would you name your boat if you had one?
This Way Up
What will finally break the internet?
Greed
If you had to change your name, what would your new name be, and why would you choose that name?
Ethel, but you won’t catch me streaking.
What are some things that sound like compliments but are actually insults?
You’re looking well (read You’ve got fat)
If you could know the absolute and total truth to one question, what question would you ask?
Why?

Cyranny of Cyranny’s Cove (4-28-2022 – from her amazing “Cyranny’s Quickie” series) What’s the most impressive, or oddest thing you’ve ever fixed with duct tape (or something similar)?
Can’t think of anything, but I did once use chopsticks to mortar in a tumble dryer vent.
I hear ya on the party 😞
I was fuming. It was all his (ex partner) friends who were free loaders for food and booze. He’d arranged a barrel of lager, which he ended up drinking with the two mates who did turn up. Guess who cleared up the mess.
I’d spent weeks cooking and freezing and it all had to be thrown away.
I had that same thing happen and I had the OPPOSITE happen. The party to which no one came and the wedding to which everyone and their friends and children came. We invited 85 people — the number the room could hold (maximum) and ordered food for that many. 112 showed up and there wasn’t enough food. We should have eloped to city hall.
Our wedding was quiet, just 9 of us. Brilliant day and we all went for a meal in the local pub where I’d reserved a function room.
You’re looking well, oops sorry for saying that.
Ha!! No problem. It was always Other Brother who said that and he’s a fine one to talk now. Mind you I havent seen him since Mum’s funeral in 2018 so maybe he’s slimmed down now.
I am so glad you are not Ethyl. LOL Great answers.
Me streaking would not be pretty!!
Same here.
Interesting questions and very interesting answers. I’d have taken the food and refrozen it. want to guess what that man would be eating for the next month?
Sadly the food I’d prepared couldn;t be refrozen but the family did have leftovers for a few days.
Chopsticks are VERY creative! Wow. Thanks, Di, for Sharing Your Wonderful World with us! If I’d catered a ‘do for 50 and I got a total of 7 guests show up, I’d have been very tempted to go around to the other 43 and take them the leftovers on a plate. Say something in a backhanded compliment sort of way: Oh maybe “Gee, but you’re LOOKING WELL!” 😂 I’m sorry I was slow in getting ’round to the SYWs, and thank you again for participating! Loves to Maya! 🙂
You’re welcome. Hope you saw her pics today.
