Welcome to Sunday Stealing. Here we will steal all types of questions from every corner of the blogosphere. Our promise to you is that we will work hard to find the most interesting and intelligent questions. Cheers to all of us thieves!
This week we stole from Follow That Dream. Bonnie, who posted it, admits she stole it from Stella. Now here it is, just waiting for you to steal it for your blog …
Stolen from Follow That Dream
1. My bestie and I once …
One of them and I went to Las Vegas in September 2024, which was my first time and likely my last, though I had a good time.
2. When I’m nervous …
I look around a lot.
3. My hair …
Has been receding since I was 17.
4. When I turn to the left, I see …
A shred bag blocked the front window.

5. My favorite aunt …
My great aunt Deana (Adenia) Yates was born in 1908, the youngest of my maternal grandmother Gertrude Williams’ siblings. She is to the right in the picture above with her sister, mother, and niece (my mom). There are more descriptions here.
My sisters and I visited the house that Deana and Gert shared, 13 Maple Street in Binghamton, NY, almost every day during lunch and after school during the academic year.
If I hadn’t been watching JEOPARDY with Deana on weekdays at noontime, I might not have become so obsessed with the program that I tried out for the show in 1998. I taught her canasta, and she taught me 500 rummy. She played SCRABBLE with me a lot. Sometimes, I would watch her “programs” with her and her sisters, the CBS soap operas Guiding Light, Edge of Night, and Secret Storm.
I was sad when she died in 1966, in part because she was a buffer between her sister and me. Gert didn’t think a boy should wash the dishes, which I did at home. More than once, Deana said to her sister, “Leave the boy alone!”
6. I have a hard time understanding ….
Consider this an expletive-filled rant about the politics in the last six months in the United States, and the capitulation by media (I’m talking about you, ABC, CBS…) More people will become sick and die.
7. You know I like you if …
I tease you and/or engage in circuitous wordplay.
8. When I was 5 years old …
Among other things, this.
#1…I love that memory! My friends and I never ventured too far away. Loved your answers. Have a great day!

Hmm, your nervous habit reminds me that when I’m nervous in public I become hyperaware, but I tend to studiously avoid eye contact and generally ‘face front’ and move fast. I don’t look around at all, except peripherally.
Your story about snapped suspenders is hilarious.
Such interesting answers!
your answers were really interesting. LOVED the link to the post about when you were 5 yrs old. Omg that’s hilarious.
Happy Sunday
I echo your expletive rant and raise you another. Isn’t it just crazy?
I loved reading about your great aunt and your relationship with her!! Your answer about your hair made me chuckle!!
I’ve been to Vegas. I, too, probably won’t go again.
I’m stunned about the politicial situation in the US. It’s incredible what’s going on over there.
:o)
Cheers
