Friendly Fill-ins

Each Thursday Ellen of 15andmeowing and Lorianne of Four-Legged Furballs, provide Friendly Fill-in questions.

Ellen came up with the first two questions and Lorianne came up with the last two questions.

If you need help, please let either Ellen or Lorianne know.

Here are this weeks questions:
1, I am not always ___________________.
2. I refuse to eat ____________________.
3. I would happily accept a job offer at _________.
4. _________ is a job I could never do.

Here are my answers:
1. I am not always able to keep up with all my projects. I don’t stress about them anymore though.
2. I refuse to eat grits or cornbread. Grits have zero taste and cornbread is always so dry.
3. I would happily accept a job offer at retirement. I’m not working for anyone anymore.
4. Politics is a job I could never do. They both lie and I’m talking about both sides of the aisle.

  1. Memories of Eric and Flynn – I started this blog to show my holiday photos but haven't added to it for so long, but you can see my other holiday photos at https://allatseawithme.blogspot.com My main blog is my cat blog at https://twodevoncats.blogspot.com
    Memories of Eric and Flynn says:

    That is a very handsome cat! I have seen grits in the buffet on the ships but have never been tempted to try them. Even the name is enough to put me off!

    What a beautiful cat that is.
    I like your fill in answers. Totally agree with that last one. Even the ones that start out with good intentions get drawn in to the dark side of politics. Oh wait, there is only one side of politics so it’s all the dark side 🙂

    The kitty is such a beauty! I love grits with lots of butter and salt and pepper and an added fried eggs sometimes and I’ve learned to add sour cream to my corn muffin batter. It makes them not so dry.

      Your mom makes that for you or is that what mom likes. Have a woof woof day and weekend, Miss Molly. My best to your mom. 🙂

  4. Rosey says:

    Hurrah for retirement and boo to politicians! 🙂

    1, I am not always happy that I live in an apartment (but I’m grateful to have one).
    2. I refuse to eat meat (just never liked it).
    3. I would happily accept a job offer being an administrator at the college (I like teaching high school but I miss the money of an admin job).
    4. Being an actor is a job I could never do.

      I wish you had a beautiful home of your own. We don’t eat much meat here. Have a great day and long weekend. 🙂

    Happy Friday Sandee. What an adorns fur ball.
    I’ve been away and missed you all but back today after a shortish birthday week hiatus.

    Love your answers. Sounds so me!

    Have a lovely rest of the week. Hugs xoxo

  6. Wing Commander Basil & The B Team – UK – Well, now there's a question! Furstly and most importantly I'm a cat if mew hadn't already guessed. I got my Wing Commander status in September 2018 but that hasn't slowed me up at all! I tweet, Instacat, FB, Tumble & Pin too and now there's Basil TV on YouTube. All in all I'm a thoroughly Modern Cat; a cat of the 21st century, mew might say. My human & Purrsonal Assistant aka P.A. is Cathrine Garnell, and she writes books including a tale about my fictional alter ego, Basil the Bionic Cat. [See Books Page] I live in a multi-cat household, and mew can meet the rest of The B Team here most days of the week, as they all like a turn on the blog. I like mice, but then don't we all? I also like fresh tuna, chicken and prawns. I LOVE catnip, not in any excess I might add before mew jump to any wild conclusions. Thanks so much for dropping by, as we The B Team, love making new furriends, so do leave us a comment and say hi.
    Wing Commander Basil & The B Team says:

    Supurr fill-ins Sandee, we wouldn’t want to work in politiccs either, it’s far too corrupt! Happy weekend!

    My GBGV Life says:

    Mom is happy to hear someone else doesn’t like corn bread. She can’t stand it. Politicians are nothing but actors and liars. They used to have a job to do,now they spend most of their time trying to win votes rather than working for the people.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      Yes they spend all their time fundraising, acting like babies and campaigning. 🙂

  8. MadSnapper says:

    I refuse to eat onions or anything like snails or gator tails. I tasted both once and that was enough. also don’t eat crab or lobster. agree about no work i would take and no way polictics

      Sandee says:

      They are tasteless and apparently you’re supposed to load them up with all kind of things that have flavor. 🙂

    Eugenia says:

    That is a gorgeous kitty! I love grits, especially cheese grits. I agree with #4 – they act like playground bullies. Happy Friday!

  10. Cecilia Upchurch says:

    Sandee you have never ever had grits or cornbread prepared by me!! Grits are probably an acquired taste. While working at NCSU, many of the grad students from different parts of the USA would ask about Grits.
    I started keeping a box of Quaker cheddar cheese Grits in my office and butter in the fridge. If the wanted me to make it for them I would. I converted many to the joys of grits…Some were just happy to say they had at least tried them.
    I am known as Queen of Cornbread. Mine is very moist and cake like, My daughter calls it dessert. She often eats is for breakfast with honey.
    Happy Friday
    Hugs Cecilia

      I would love to try your grits and your cornbread. I’ve tried many and both have been awful. Happy weekend, my friend. Big hug. 🙂

    Patricia says:

    Beautiful cat but wouldn’t want to have to keep its long hair untangled and silky. I am very happy retired and have no interest in having a job, though sometimes I get bored.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      The last kitty I had had long hair like this. Lots of combing. It was fine. 🙂

    L.M.G. Miller says:

    What a gorgeous kitty! And thank you for joining in on the Friendly Fill-Ins! I know what you mean with #1. Though, admittedly, I still regularly stress about not being able to complete all my projects by the time I want them done. Some of these projects are self-inflicted ones, though, so I probably should work on not worrying about them so much. And I am with you on #4. I could never work in politics, as I’m a terrible liar. Have a wonderful weekend!

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I’ve learned to quit beating myself up over things anymore. It’s a good thing. Thank you for co-hosting the fun. 🙂

  13. DrillerAA
    DrillerAA says:

    That could be a Santa Claus cat with that white fur looking like a beard.
    I really like your fill-ins and agree completely that I could never be an actor. The whole entertainment industry doesn’t appeal to me.
    1, I am not always happy about my situation, but like the apostle Paul, I have learned to be content.
    2. I refuse to eat liver. Never have liked it and never will.
    3. I would happily accept a job offer at a high school or college as the official sports team photographer.
    4. Emergency room doctor/nurse is a job I could never do. You never know what!’s coming through the door, how many pieces are coming, and are the all going to arrive at the same time. No thanks

      Sandee says:

      Love your fill-ins and you’d be great at #3. Hollyweird and politics are about the same thing anymore. Happy weekend. 🙂

    messymimi's meanderings says:

    Grits are like rice and potatoes, you aren’t eating them for the grits but for the toppings, butter, salt, peoper, cheese, gravy, shrimp, bacon, grillades, etc. It’s not socially acceptable to just eat a stick of butter, but you can put all you want on the grits or rice or potatoes or your favorite butter carrier.

    That cat is regal looking.

    Have a great weekend, hugs!

      So to make them not tasteless you pile favors on top of them. I didn’t know this. 🙂

    Magical Mystical Mimi says:

    Omg. I am so with you on grits! I felt like Joe Pesci in My Cousin Vinny, what’s a grit? A grit, a collection of them, is a great big pile of gross, not eating it. I do like cornbread if it’s made right, which should not be dry. I like it with chili and with beans n’ cornbread in the fall.

    • Sandee – California – Home of Awww Mondays, Happy Tuesday, and Wordless Wednesday.
      Sandee says:

      I’ve always had dry cornbread and I always try it. I think I need some of Cecilia’s cornbread. 🙂

  20. Curious as a Cathy says:

    Sandee,

    It’s hard to keep up with projects. I’ve been pulling my hair out for weeks and months pulling things together to keep life less stressful for vacation. Thankfully, the light is growing brighter and stronger as I’m just about out of that tunnel.

    I love grits and cornbread but don’t eat either frequently. When eating plain grits I think they tasted best lightly salted with a pat of butter. Grits are good with a full southern-style breakfast which includes eggs, sausage/bacon, gravy and biscuits. Mmm! Of course, there’s shrimp and grits which is especially yummy. There was a restaurant in town we’d love to get this at but as long since closed. I made shrimp and grits once. It turned out good but it was a bit time consuming. I’d like have some shrimp and grits again, though. Cornbread is dry. Plain cornbread is good in milk. Have you ever had it like that? That might be a country thing. lol When I make cornbread it’s usually because I’ve made chili or pinto beans, either way the cornbread goes into my beans and that’s good eating. You can make your cornbread a little adventurous by adding cheese and green chiles before pouring the batter into your pan. One of my favorites is to use spicy fried ground beef, onions, cheese, and jalapenos. I pour part of the batter in the pan, then layers all of these extras in the middle before pouring the rest of the batter on top. 🙂

    I’m not interested in taking a job outside the home after all these years. I used to think that I would want to do something but I have enough to keep me busy. The extra money would help in many ways but I would give up other things I feel are very important.

    Politics is a stinky, corrupt job to have. You’re right both sides are horrible with one being worse than the other but it’s just a game for many of those clowns. All it is for them is the power and your money. They don’t care about anything else, even you. The main reason I wouldn’t want to be a politician is no one would support my agenda to keep God first with family and country second. Drop taxes on the classes, especially the working class and enforce a program that frees up tax dollars going to dead beats in our society. I’m not speaking of those with a legitimate reason but the leaches who can work but won’t because it’s easier to get a government check each month. There’s so many other things I’d change but the evil ones in office would make sure I either never got in or pushed out the next term.

    I enjoyed reading your fill-ins, my friend. Have a good weekend!

      Sandee says:

      I don’t think I’ve had good grits or cornbread. I want to have cornbread that’s not dry.

    That is such a beautiful cat. The long fur, the whiskers, and those eyes!

    I would never want to go into politics, either! And it seems like the people who would/could actually be good and honest leaders are the ones who would never even consider going into politics.
