guessing @ 7.

how many plant species are in your front yard?

Not sure.

Same question.

I don't know plants that well to be honest. My mother was a big gardener but to me they just look nice but I don't do any gardening. I have several plants in my garden but no idea what they are except for some bluebells.

Have you had a good day today?

Relatively yes, even though a drunk guy at my neighborhood library was giving many people (including me) a hard time. Thankfully, the library staff kicked him out before the situation got worse.

Are you drinking anything right now?

No, though I probably should be.

Same question.

Water.

Same question.

aitch too oh.

what are you eating right now?

Nothing although I ate two slices of cheese pizza and a green salad for lunch.

(It was a little too much, but I was hungry.)

Regardless of how often you read books, what are the greatest satirical novels ever written?

Don Quixote of La Mancha ,
The Canterbury Tales (Middle English: Tales of Caunterbury) ,
Till Eulenspiegel is the protagonist of a German chapbook published in 1515 (a first edition of c. 1510/12 is preserved fragmentarily) with a possible background in earlier Middle Low German folklore.
Van den vos Reynaerde (English title: Of Reynaert the Fox)
The Life of Gargantua and of Pantagruel
The Metamorphoses of Apuleius
In Praise of Folly, also translated as The Praise of Folly (Latin: Stultitiae Laus or Moriae Encomium; Greek title: Μωρίας ἐγκώμιον (Morias enkomion); Dutch title: Lof der Zotheid), is an essay written in Latin in 1509 by Desiderius Erasmus of Rotterdam and first printed in June 1511. Inspired by previous works of the Italian humanist Faustino Perisauli [it] De Triumpho Stultitiae, it is a satirical attack on superstitions and other traditions of European society as well as on the Church.
The Taming of the Shrew.



same question

Max Havelaar. About the atrocities committed by the Dutch government in the Dutch East Indies (currently Indonesia).

What kind of activities, hobbies or interests do you like to do/share with others?

Watch films, write mystery stories, spend time with family or my girlfriend, learn or improve speaking skills of new languages and be a regular at my neighborhood library.

What languages have you made attempts to learn?

I have taken a little Spanish and some French in high school, then Latin in college. Unfortunately by now I've forgotten most of what I learned, but I keep thinking about going back through my Latin textbook. I might do that sometime when my brain feels up to it.

Same question.

None so far.

Have you ever written anything in a secret code only you could read?

No I have not.

Same question.

in the army i was told my abysmal penmanship was a secret code.

choose one-
join the army
join the coast guard
join the GOP

eat seaweed

Eat seaweed. I'm thinking the edible kind as in lava bread or something . All the other options would be so unsuitable.

How many languages can you speak/write and what are they?
