************************************************************
Friendly Fill-Ins are four fun and easy statements to complete. Ellen of 15andmeowing provides the first two statements and the final two are offered by McGuffy Ann Morris of McGuffy's Reader. They try to make sure they will be fun to both answer and share. On Friday, the linky will be posted at or about 12:00 AM. Please head to one of their sites, link up, and share your thoughts!
Here are this week's statements with my responses underlined:
Week 26: November 4, 2016
1. Peace ____________________________.
2. I need to ___________________________, but I keep procrastinating.
3. A friend is _____________________.
4. I _____________ try to _____________________.
1. Peace is possible, we all need to want peace more than we want other things.
2. I need to clean and organize my house, but i keep procrastinating because who in the world wants to clean their own house after cleaning other people's all day long?
3. A friend is someone you love and make time for.
4. I always try to vote in every single election. Even if i don't like who is running, i go vote. The only time i didn't was because i ended up in the hospital, and it was a local election and the person i wanted didn't stand a chance anyway. It still bothers me that i couldn't. Too many people have fought to give me the right, and too many women wished they could and never got the chance for me to waste the opportunity.

I love kitten enthusiasm! And, your answers are always so genuine, too. Peace is absolutely something we all need. And, yes, we need our friends, too. They are the ones who love us without judgement. I vote, too. It is a responsibility. Hugs, my friend.
ReplyDeleteKittens are so much like children. Cute but demanding.
ReplyDeleteAww, they are thriving, but I knew they would with you.
ReplyDeleteNow put down the coffee and feed these precious babies.
Have a purrfect Feline Friday. ☺
Such cute kittens. Thank you for participating in the fill-ins, great answers. I understand how you feel about voting and I made sure my niece registered as soon as she turned 18. It is sad to think that people in other countries don't have this right. I can see why you wouldn't want to do any more cleaning when you get done with other houses. Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDelete#1 Peace is just a word.
ReplyDelete#2 I need to stop procrastinating...
#3 A frend is rare and more priceless than gold.
#4 I never try to dissuade a person from a position that they are completely married to.
Look at those adorable little faces! Cutest little kitties ever! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery cute kittens. Great post!
ReplyDeleteI agree that cleaning is a chore. It is said that the sign of a good, busy mechanic is that HIS car won't run. If his works right, then he has too much time on his hands.
ReplyDeleteAt least for this election, we have a good 3rd party candidate. Usually we have to pick the best of the bad choices.
Chicken Lady Day...that's a good one. But I think not even a Chicken Lady could get me over my fear of public speaking. Mrs. Pennington couldn't do it; nobody can.
ReplyDeleteRegarding your #2: I don't think that I would want to clean my house after spending all day cleaning other folks' houses. That's too much like bringing work home with you. Like, enough already!
I agree with you about voting and, for the most part, I have voted every time since I turned 18, at least in the main elections. I am glad that we found a great third party candidate to vote for this time for president, one that doesn't make me doubt whether I chose the right one or not. May God bless this country with a president that truly loves this country and the people in it!
Your kitties are beautiful. :)
Have a blessed weekend.
Make time for Peace - so so true.
ReplyDeleteAwwwww, cute kitties!
