Wednesday Medley


Welcome to this week’s Wednesday Medley!

If you want to join in the fun...copy the questions below and answer them. The just go visit Here and link up!!!

Here we go!



1. During Red Ribbon Week a red ribbon or rubbery silicone bracelet is worn to remind others to live drug free lives and honor the sacrifices of all those who've have lost their lives fighting the war against illegal drugs.

Do you have family members or loved ones in law enforcement? No I do not but I lost my first cousin Mike last night. He passed from using illegal drugs and was brain dead.  His son took him off life support over a week ago and he finally passed last night. DON'T USE DRUGS! It is your family that suffers! Wearing any memorial ribbons or bracelets? No, I am not.

2. There isn't an International Day for October 30th.

What is your suggestion for a new national or international day? How about international powerful women day!

3. On this date in 1938, Orson Welles performed his radio play of H. G. Wells' The War Of The Worlds. Some people understood it to be an actual news broadcast of a Martian attack though there were disclaimers throughout the show.

Have you witnessed an example of people behaving to the contrary in spite of warnings? Every time I fly on an airplane! HA

Bonus question: Did you listen to or do you stream radio shows? Listen to books or prefer reading? Definitely prefer reading

4. Happy 80th Birthday, Grace Slick!


She sang with psychedelic band Jefferson Airplane and later reincarnations Jefferson Starship and Starship.
All rock 'n' rollers over the age of fifty look stupid and should retire. — Grace Slick.

Is pop music solely the domain of younger artists? No way! I still love Grace Slick!

5. Tomorrow is Halloween. Any fond memories of Trick Or Treating or escorting little ones while they made the rounds? I love taking my nieces and nephews trick or treating. I am out of town for work this week so I will miss it :-(  Favorite costume? I was a person riding a unicorn last year - by far my favorite. When I was little, I was obsessed with Planet of the Apes and wore the plastic Planet of the Apes mash and costume for at least three years in a row!!

Bonus question: As an adult, have you attended a Halloween party or fancy-dress ball? My friend from high school invites me every year but I never go because it is a true PARTY and I do not drink so I do not think I would have that much fun  Sexy? Or spooky? Definitely funny or spooky - I do not do sexy Halloween! HA

6. Please share with us something interesting about your week. As I shared above, my cousin Mike passed away last night. Please keep him and his family in your prayers. My Aunt is suffering the loss of her son. :-(

Please leave your link below. Thank you!

  4. Ha - sexy Halloween always cracked me up but not enough to wear one. I'm with you funny or spooky. And I'm so sorry about your cousin...a life lost to drugs is especially tragic. It was great "meeting" you on the blog-o-sphere. Have a wonderful evening.

    1. Thanks so much Terri - his parents and sister are so very sad. It is a little frustrating that they did not mention drugs in his obituary though. They said stroke but in reality it was an overdose. It does not help anyone to sweep it under the rug though. UGH. Have a great day!
