Wednesday Hodgepodge

 I'm linking up with Joyce and the gang for another round of Wednesday Hodgepodge!

1. What rule of life should never be broken?

"Do unto others as you would have done unto yourself". If the world truly operated in such a fashion, I don't think we'd have all of the problems that we have today. I'm not saying there still wouldn't be problems, but I don't think they'd be as rampant.

2. What's your favorite family recipe? 

Hmmm. That's a good question.

3. Is the media manipulative? 

Hell to the yes. I have a hard time watching the news much anymore because everything is far too dissected - everyone keeps telling me everything and makes it hard for me to think for myself.

4. Hubs and I saw Skyfall last weekend...are you a fan of the Bond films? If so, who's your favorite Bond?

I'm not sure I've ever sat through one entire Bond film. For some reason, I've never been a big Bond fan. Although, I like Daniel Craig as an actor and I'm pretty sure he makes a good James Bond. Not that I would know . . . I can name only 3 actors off the top of my head that have played the character and I think there have been at least a dozen.

5. What is one thing you hope people never say about you?

"Selfish and uncaring". I know I can't please everyone, and I don't consider myself any more selfish than the average person, but I try to do right. Sometimes I fail, but that only makes me human.

6. What's a nearby tourist attraction you'd like to see, but haven't gotten around to visiting? 

The waterfalls around Whiskeytown Lake. I will try to see them next summer, I think.

 Also, Yosemite National Park. I've lived within driving distance my entire life and have yet to visit.

 7. Where's your favorite tree?

Hmm, good question. Don't think I've ever thought too much about it. I will go with a Weeping Willow. I just want to sit under it and read a good book, my own little hide-away. Although, I could do without the probably ants, though.

8. Insert your own random thought here.

My car needs an oil change. Should get that done on one of my days off this week. I'm usually right on top of it, but since funds have been a short recently, I've put it off  until I had a regular paycheck coming in. Which means I'm probably due for a tire rotation, too . . . sounds like an exciting errand day for me this week!
