Let’s play.

.

Try.

You might even enjoy it.

.

.

I don’t mean buying a big waterfront house with hot and cold running gardeners or a snazzy little Lamborghini for running errands…. those go without saying.

I mean something that’s insignificant to others but seems like pure bliss to you.

I’ll go first.

I want…

A personal hair stylist at my beck and call to keep my big ‘80’s hair looking perfect all day, everyday!

.

.

She/he doesn’t have to follow me around with a brush and a can of hair spray all day, but my hair is labor intensive and not having to worry about styling it would be a real treat.

How about you…

What rich person luxury would you give yourself?

.

Let’s play.

.

You’ll have to think for a moment, but have faith…

I think you can do it.

.

I can think of quite a few I happily lived without back in the day but can’t imagine surviving the loss of now….

Power windows in cars. Did we ever roll them down manually? My mind boggles at the physical effort.

Microwaves. I don’t cook with ours but reheating leftovers quickly is one of life’s simple pleasures.

DVRs. The pleasure of watching what I want when I want cannot be beat.

But if I’m honest the number one modern convenience I can’t do without is my iPhone. It holds my 23,710 photos and keeps me in touch with long lost friends. It’s my dictionary, my calculator, my encyclopedia, and my address book. It’s a source of video entertainment, games, and shopping. I call, I text, I email. I bank, I navigate, and check the local weather. Most importantly? I blog with you lot.

Sadly, I’m not exaggerating when I say I’d be lost without it.

.

.

So how about you…

What mod con will they pry from your cold dead hands?

.

Let’s play.

.

You know the drill.

.

My predictive text is always giving me weird suggestions when I don’t want them. Let’s see what it has to say when I do…

.

I don’t, but okay.

.

Do I?

I have a lot of it, but I’m going to say no.. I probably don’t need more pictures of it.

.

.

Third time’s a charm.

I’ll go with that.

🍸

What does your predictive text think you really need?

.

Let’s play.

.

You may have to think for a minute, but it won’t hurt. I promise.

.

.

Soooo many to choose from, but I’m going with the scene that chokes me up no matter how many times I see it.

.

.

Casablanca.

The part where the Nazis start singing the German anthem and Paul Henreid instructs the band to play La Marseillaise. The French patriots stand, sing… and drown out the Germans. A simple, poignant moment where good triumphs evil.

It’s classic.

.

.

If you’re young… and you’ve never seen Casablanca? Please do so immediately. It’s the perfect movie.

Drama, romance, humor, war.

Love, loss and sacrifice. I don’t care how many times I watch it… it never disappoints.

Now you.

What’s your favorite old Hollywood movie scene?

.

Let’s play.

.

Because if you’re here? You’re already bored enough….

.

.

I stole this from FB, and some of the answers are worth sharing.

.

.

Drat.

.

.

Thank you, but I’d rather not.

.

.

How sad.

.

.

How many players do you need?

.

.

Kudos!

.

.

Too funny!

Here’s mine –

(And talk about perfect timing)

Severance.

🤣

Somewhere nearby, my husband is cringing.

Now you…

Title your sex life by the last show you watched.

.

Let’s play.

.

Because it’s time to reflect.

.

.

Kale.

After the window installations disaster, roof leaks, the loss of a toenail, my husband’s eye surgery debacle, numerous home remodeling nightmares, the erection of view busting greenhouses across the street, crazy property tax increases, catching Covid, a cancelled holiday trip, a non existent Christmas and a dead water heater? I cry uncle!

Kale.

My 2024 was wall to wall 🥬 .

Now you. What food represents your year?
