Wayward Wednesday
The other day I saw a box of cigars.
Each cigar was about five inches long and about as round as a quarter.
What kind of man smokes a cigar like that?
Who is the seventh dwarf?
What if all the Halloween monsters turned real
for one minute at the stroke of midnight?
Why do people continue to harm children?
Have you seen the women at the market whose carts
look as if they were arranged by a stylist?
What do their homes look like?
Are you one of those women?
What if you won the lottery?
If we weren't supposed to make Jack-O-Lanterns,
would we still have pumpkins?
Where do birds go when it rains?
Who uses pi?
Why do writers write?
Rescued Chilean Miners. Yes!

Yay for the miners!
Elizabeth - Maybe you can bribe one of your kids into asking their science teacher....
And yes, yes, yes to the rescued Chilean miners! How wonderful to see something positive on the news.
Was the 7th dwarf Dopey? See all the burning questions and this one has me stumped.
So glad about the miners, that is nothing but good news.
Elspeth - I'd like to see the before photos, too.
Holly - I can usually only recall six names, not always the same six :)
And I have no idea of the correct order.
Alex - Right before I came here, I read 18 have been rescued, 15 are still underground. Better than half!
Elana - I agree. One would have been good. All will be a blessing.
Lydia - Chuckles are wonderful! I agree about the good news.
Yay for the miners!
Hoooray for the miners! They is well and free!
2) Dopey
3) Did you see that episode of Buffy? It was EXCELLENT!
4) Because some people are EVIL.
5) My cart looks like that. My house does not. Different philosophies. The cart thing is about fitting as much as possible so packing like a puzzle. The same philosophy applied to a house makes for crabby hubbies.
6) I would be able to write full time (if it were a large enough win to pay off the bills AND pay kid college, AND make up for my wages+insurance+retirement.
7) LURVE pumpkin soup and pumpkin bread.
8) head under wing
9) Geeks and circles.
10) Geeks and circles *cough*
11) YAY!
And my code word below is 'tuity' - what does that mean? ;)
Some of these questions are provocative enough to deserve their own post....

I actually got a little excited at the prospect of the monsters being real for one minute. Does that make me evil? LOL
Hannah - Seriously?
Hart - You ROCK!!!
Talei - Both the miners and their families. 'tuity' eh? Maybe Tuity Fruity? Or Not.
Words Crafter - Maybe one day. Long on ideas. Short on time.
Clarissa - Neither can I since I'm a little claustrophobic to begin with.
RaShelle - Nah, I don't think so.
Well, those Halloween monsters - it is what "All Hallow`s Eve" is all about. The Celts said that at the end of the old year(Oct.31 then)all the deads were coming out of their graves. And you can IMAGINE how decayed some looked! If it weren`t for pumpkins (it was turnips at first), we`d find something else to frighten them off.
I wish we could frighten off those child abusers too. Kick them in the empty graves!
Today ALL the miners are out and safe. Modern technology is good for something! And comradeship under bad circumstances. Wonderful!
And the "harm children" comment made me think of last night. My hubby was watching some true crime show about a couple brutally murdering this 92-year old man and his wife. For no reason.
WHY?
I use pi. I made two of them for a recent family gathering. Oh wait, that's pi without the e. Sorry.
Linda - The situation with the miners was very moving. It made us realize the world can change in the blink of an eye. And it showed us what we can accomplish by working together instead of looking for differences.
Helen - Pumpkin Pi?
We need to save the children.
If I won the lottery, I would have to look around me to see who needed my help; the money wouldn't really be mine.
As always, Carol, a thought provoking list!!
Ann
Have the greatest weekend!
