10 on the 10th: June!

10 on the 10th…

May was one of those months that flew pretty quickly. Nigel had a couple of tests, and we’re now waiting for his appointment with the surgeon. He has been using a walker everywhere and is supposed to stay off of his feet as much as possible. That’s almost impossible with him. He’s so used to being out in the yard or the garage, just puttering around. And, he absolutely hates watching me do the chores he feels are his domain. He will probably have both hips replaced at some point, hopefully, sooner rather than later. The way he’s going, he’s going to be a bionic man! Prayers, positive vibes are appreciated as we make our way through this.

I love Would You Rathers but had a hard time coming up with those related strictly to June. These are more summer Would You Rathers. I do hope you’ll play along with this month’s 10 on the 10th and maybe elaborate a bit! Please either link up your post (and any others you’d like), comment, or email me your answers.

Without further ado…

Would you rather go camping in a camper (your pick on the style) or stay at a five star resort? This one takes very little thought! I would much rather stay at a five star resort as long as someone else is paying! I would pick one that had lots of different spa services. But, I have also wanted to go camping in one of those all in one campers. I think touring the country in one of those could be fun. And, who wouldn’t want to go glamping?

Would you rather watch a movie in the backyard of a good friend or go to your favorite band’s concert with your worst enemy? I would definitely watch a movie in the backyard of a good friend. Life is short so why spend time with someone who is your worst enemy. I think I’ve truly only ever had one enemy in my life, and the enmity was all on her side. In fact, I didn’t realize how much she disliked me until her former bestie asked me how I dealt with the woman hating me so much! I just had to laugh because why waste so much time on hatred, right?

Would you rather have chub rub because you forgot your protective gear or a big blister on your heel because you’re wearing cute but new shoes? This is a tough one. I have had chub rub, and it is awful. But, a blister on your heel feels really bad, too. If I have to choose, I’m going with the blister because you can always shift your foot around and relieve the pain on the blister. The chub rub, however, just gets worse and worse!

Would you rather meet your great-great-grandparent or your great-great-grandchild? I definitely want to meet my great-great-grandchild! I don’t feel a connection to a great-great-grandparent, but I know I would feel a deep connection to any of my grandchildren. Plus, that means I’m going to be living for quite a while more!

Would you rather be hot and sweaty in the humid outdoors or cold and shivering in an overly air-conditioned room? Another easy one…I would much rather be cold and shivering in an overly air-conditioned room. For most of the years I taught, our building wasn’t air conditioned. It was horrible…and smelly…and did I mention horrible? I know the question is outdoors, but the same applies to the inside! I don’t like to be hot and sweaty anywhere…even when it’s cold and I’m working out (hahaha…yes, I do that). Besides, nothing said I couldn’t have a sweater or jacket to put on in the AC!

Would you rather eat a melted candy bar or a piece of cold pizza? I know many are going to disagree with me on this one. I have never, ever liked cold pizza. In fact, I don’t like cold food that is meant to be warm/hot. So, I’m not going to be eating a cold piece of fried chicken. But, a melted candy bar…well, I can just lick that goodness right out of the wrapper if I need to do so. Again, no one said I couldn’t, so I just might pop it into the freezer to firm up a bit, then eat the melted candy bar!

Would you rather go for a day without access to any social media or emails or would you have to remain on social media all day long? I’ll opt for the no media or emails. It would bother me not to be able to read my emails, but most of the 100s I get are from companies trying to sell me something. I have never taken a vacation from social media, but I’m also not on it every day for long periods of time.

Would you rather dress like a person from the 1950s or the 2050s? Can you tell I was getting desperate? Hmmm…let me think. The Dior New Look was around for part of the 50s, and they had those really fabulous dresses with the nipped in waists and big skirts. But, they also wore heels and hosiery (with either a girdle or a garter belt). Even so, I think I’d go for the fashions of the 50s. The women just seemed so casually chic then. And, I’ll be close to 100 in the 2050s so let’s not even think about that!

Would you rather eat ice cream covered in pizza sauce or a pizza covered in chocolate sauce? Well, the first one sounds just disgusting. So, I’m going with a pizza covered in chocolate sauce. Underneath the chocolate sauce will be a chocolate chip cookie crust, marshmallows, toffee bits, and maybe chocolate chips! Then, I’ll add some whipped cream on top! But, I’ll skip the cherry! I always give those away.

Would you rather fly like Superman or swim like Aquaman? Dang…I used to love to swim. I was at our community pool as often as I could be when I was a kid. But, somewhere along the line, my claustrophobia kicked in when it came to water, and I don’t like to be underwater. I do love being in a pool, though, so feel free to invite me to your next pool party! So, by default, I guess I’d rather fly like Superman! I doubt I’ll be stopping any speeding trains or bullets, though.

Wrap it up, Marsha!

I had to chuckle as I was answering the one about being hot and sweaty. My students would have lunch and recess all together. So, when they came in, they’d be hot and sweaty. Would You Rathers were such a fun way to settle them down as well as get that cooling process going for them. I miss my fourth graders, all of whom are now adults. I think they kept me young. So, can we talk? Did you have an easy time with this set of WYRs? Why do you think these appeal to us so much? Have any of you ever camped in a yurt? Please leave a comment or two, and we can talk. I promise to respond as soon as possible.
