HODGEPODGE NOVEMBER 14


1. What's something you think is under appreciated. Explain. 

I would say some artists, some are real good but don't know the right people.

2. As winter approaches how do you stay productive? 

 I don't want to stay productive, I just let it go and wait for better times.

3. What's a popular food you don't like?

 Peanut butter, already the smell disturb me

4. What do you think is more interesting-art or history? Elaborate. 

 I think you can't compare art with history. Art needs creativity, which some people have others not. Art also has its history. 

 The other History is the past made by humans, and you can't change it.  I like both. I used to paint and loved to read history books.

5. What advice would you give to someone half your age?

To enjoy life as much as you can, but honestly I don't like to give advises unless somebody asks me for one.

 6. Insert your own random thought here. 

I had believed that the paper mountain concerning Rick's passing had disappeared as it is now more then two years ago, but no, the police had checked my license plate and stated that it still was on Rick's name ! it almost seemed to me as if he had been my chauffeur! What had happened ? The car was in my name, I paid the insurance and taxes, but the sleeping busy officials forgot to put the license plate in my name too.

In Belgium, the wife keeps her maiden name from birth to death, so I have to get a new license plate now, otherwise I have to pay a fine and all that because everything went haywire during the Corona period. Of course that made me very furious and upset. Now I can drive my car around to hand in the papers to the different services ! Why make things easy if you can make them complicated ???

  1. I like both art and history as well, and I think very often they go hand in hand. You learn things about history from the art, and you can appreciate the art more when you know the history. That's awful about the license plate and that it still isn't sorted out! How frustrating! I hope it's resolved soon and that the rest of your week is happy!

  2. Bureaucracy drives you wild, doesn't it? I hope it's sorted now.

  3. I also appreciate art and love history. I'm sorry for the snafu with the paperwork. These kind of things can make one crazy. I hope it's easily sorted. Have a nice day!

  4. Oh how annoying about the number plate. Here they belong to the car so no need to change them when ownership changes - unless you have a particular plate e.g. a personalised one that you want to keep then it gets more complicated. I hope you can get it sorted without too much hassle.

  5. I on the other hand love peanut butter, and most other nut butters as well.

    What a pain with your car's plate. As if those police didn't have better things to do...
