Queasy Hodge Podge

Joining the ✨Hodge Podge✨for the second week in a row. Will wonders never cease?

🎄1. Are you more task oriented or people oriented? Elaborate.

Oh I am task oriented, but wish that I were people oriented. And, truth to tell, I'm not all that task oriented either.  Now what does that make me I shudder to ask.

🎄2. December 15 is National Wear Your Pearls Day...do you own/wear pearls? If you're a man answering the question, does your sweetheart own or wear pearls? Everyone share a 'pearl of wisdom' with us here today.

Yes, I own a string of pearls. They belonged to my grandmother's great-aunt. They need to be restrung so I do not wear them. I don't think that I am a pearl wearing kind of gal so probably won't bother to have them restrung. I do think that pearls are beautiful and I enjoy seeing women wear them — such a classic look. 

I'll share a pearl of wisdom found in John's things:
Forgiveness is an event and Forgetting is a process.

🎄3. Speaking of pearls...oysters? Are you a fan or not a fan? If you answered yes, tell us your favorite way to eat oysters? If you said no, be honest-have you ever tried one or does just the idea of eating an oyster make you gag a little?

Oysters? No. I am not a fan. The very idea of eating a clam or oyster on the half-shell does make me feel a bit queasy.

🎄4.Time Magazine has named President-elect Donald Trump Person of the Year. Let's take presidents and presidential candidates out of the mix for a minute. If a political figure had not been chosen who would you name Man or Woman of the Year for 2016?

Okay. Must read this question carefully because I approve of Time's choice. Don't see how they could have avoided that selection or made a better one. Since I can not choose a political figure...let's see. Guess that I do not know enough about current culture to make an educated choice. I certainly would not choose most of the Hollywood crowd nor most of the Nashville crowd nor most from media nor most from sports. If I knew of a medical person making a profound difference, perhaps I'd choose her or him. 

🎄5. The Pantone Color of the Year for 2017 has been announced, and it's a vibrant green aptly named-greenery. Your thoughts? Is this a color currently in your home or wardrobe? Will you add something in this shade for the new year? Click here to see the color.

I like other shades of green better, but what's one more color in my house?!😏  Unlikely that I will wear a color that has the potential to make me look queasy. Queasy seems to be coming up often today. (No pun intended.)
🎄6. Today I've had too many
of THESE.

🎄7. Share a favorite lyric from a favorite Christmas carol.

Oh, come, Desire of nations, bind 
In one the hearts of all mankind; 
Oh, bid our sad divisions cease,  And be yourself our King of Peace. 

~from  "Oh Come, Oh Come, Emmanuel"

🎄8. Insert your own random thought here.

♪Christmas is coming, the goose is getting fat...♪
Oh I did get that area that was troubling me ready for Christmas.
