Welcome to the July 8th edition of Thursday Thunks!
(which we always seem to post on Wednesday)
Where we make you think a little bit before you blog!
We pick a subject, and your job is to interpret it anyway you want.
Write about it on your blog... simple as that.
Maybe you can interpret it as a picture - we don't care!
Please only leave a link if you have written a Thursday Thunks post.
Please mention us in your post, and link back to the blog here.
Don't forget to go visit the other participants' blogs.
Read and comment about all their Thursday Thunks responses!
That's what all this is about after all, isn't it?
We'll have so much fun and become lifelong friends....The TT questions are brought to you by Bud, the color of my eyes and the number 333333.
1. The temperature in Mooseheadville, Canada was 34 below. Most of the U.S. is in a serious heat wave. In Connecticut, it was 92 degrees in the shade. What do YOU do to beat the heat? The temperatures listed in the question are in degrees F. You can find out where Moosehead Ville, NS, Canada is by clicking here. For my Canadian readers, the conversions (from the question) to degrees C are: 36.7 below and 33.3 degrees C. The reason I specify “in the question” is because the research I did about the weather for today in Moosehead Ville is very different. Today (Wednesday night) in Moosehead Ville the temperature was 72 degrees F which converts to 22 degrees C. And now for the second part of the question: To beat the heat, I stay in the shade and drink / eat as much cool food / beverage as I can – pop, water, iced tea, slushies, juice, smoothies, ice cream, watermelon. I also get in the pool or run through the children’s sprinkler.
2. What is your favorite summertime song? I would have to say that my favorite summertime song is Summertime Blues by Alan Jackson. When I was in high school, we used to listen to this song all the time; it quickly became a favorite of mine. I like Alan Jackson’s songs.
3. Besides nude beaches what's your favorite outdoor summer activity? Our favorite summer activity is having a campfire with friends. We stay out way too late (kids come too) and have way too much fun when we do. We haven’t had enough of these campfires this summer. I feel like summer is quickly slipping by!
4. I'm inviting everyone to a cook-out with Kimber and Berleen. What should I cook for you? I’d love a veggie kabob and some fruit salad.
5. When selecting your swimwear do you go for sexy or practical? I’m all for practical. I think swimming suits are immodest, so I go for as much material as I can without being weird! And usually I’ll have a cover over that.
6. Back in the day, did you ever have a summer fling? If yes, do tell. (Names not required.) A summer fling! Hmmm. I would have to say, not really. When I met Jason, I thought that he might just be a summer “fling”, and so I questions him on it to see how serious he really was about the relationship. Well, it turns out he was really serious; 10 years and 7 children later, we are still married and still loving’ life!!!
7. Do you know anyone who hates air conditioning? If yes, what is their reasoning? We don’t have air conditioning. Air conditioning conditions the body to a much cooler temperature so that when you do go outdoors your body (potentially) goes into shock from the drastic change. I don’t like being warm, but I don't like the drastic temperature change either.
8. When and with who was your last skinny dip? I have never skinny dipped.
9. How sick of LeBron James are you? Who is LeBron James????
10. When you were a kid, what was your best summer? Hmmm, I can’t say that I have a best summer memory. A lot of my summers run together because they were very much the same. Lots of camping. Lots of traveling. Lots of different homes. Not bad, just not memorable.
11. Belly up to the bar. We serve ANYTHING. It's 100 degrees. What should we pour for you? A tall glass of iced tea with lots and lots of ice!
12. Is there a favorite meal that you like to have in the summer? Anything served outdoors. As long as there are not many bugs and it’s not too hot or too windy, I love eating outside.
13. Do you think they will solve the oil spill in time for the Gulf states to enjoy summer? Nope, I don’t think that they will.
Well, there are my “thunks” for the week. Check out others at Thursday Thunks: Heatwave
