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’m usually _____ but sometimes I can be ________.
2. A new show ( or book or food) I like is _________.
3. I would like to skip ____ and jump right to _____.
4. I haven’t _________ since _________.

Here are my answers:
1. I’m usually very gregarious, but sometimes I can be very quiet.
2. A new show (book or food) I like is Jack Reacher. He’s 6’5″ and 250 pounds of solid muscle.
3. I would like to skip reading the instructions and jump right into putting it together. Hubby reads the instructions first and then puts it together. Drives me crazy, but his way is the better way.
4. I haven’t pumpkin pie and ice cream since I started my diet/exercise program. I miss it so.

    Jack Reacher sounds like quite a guy 🙂
    I’m somewhere in between you and your husband when it comes to putting things together. I jump right in and read the instructions as I go along.

    The mama cat and her kitten are so precious! Mom doesn’t like figuring out new things nor does she like to read instructions. For her it is best if someone just tells her how it works.

    Very sweet photo. Thank you for hosting Feline Friday and participating in the fill-ins, great answers I am like you in not wanting to read instructions and my hubby is like yours in reading them. 🙂 Have a wonderful weekend-have some pie. 🙂 XO.

    Morning Sandee
    Too funny on the instructions, that is often the exact case here.
    What a precious mama cat.
    Ian has decided to visit us this afternoon with 2-4″ of rain and windy and gust that could be 50 mph.
    I just took in all the potential projectiles in the yard. There is some foul language coming from lack of bird feeders.
    Hugs and Happy Weekend.

    Eugenia says:

    I don’t read the instruction ahead of time but read them as I go along. It’s easier for me to do things step by step. Pumpkin pie with ice cream sounds yummy.

    Mama kitty and her kitten are adorable. Happy Friday!

    What a sweet mama and baby! Great answers for the fill ins. I like to jump right into something without instructions, too. Fortunately, my husband is the opposite way, too. Have a great weekend!

    Meezan says:

    I can sort of relate to missing pumpkin pie and ice cream. I have to stop eating popcorn (at least for a while) because it’s causing complications with TMJ. Popcorn is my favorite snack and I’m used to eating it daily. I miss it so much!! As for sweets, I gave up soda in 2014. It was so difficult at first because I was addicted to it, but now I’m to the point where I no longer crave it. It was worth it to give it up. Keep at it with your health plan. It will get easier. 🙂

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

      We hardly ever have sweets. I’m good with that. I’ve not had soda in years and years. I drink water instead. I’ve been on my plan for almost two years now. It’s easy. 🙂

    Aww, that looks like a very sweet mama cat and of course the baby is adorable. Ooh, I’ll have to check out the new Jack Reacher. Really like that series (both the books and the movies). Have a lovely weekend. Pumpkin pie is so seductive; good for you not being sucked in. Yet. 😍

    DrillerAA says:

    That kitten looks like it’s mom’s favorite.

    The funny thing about the Jack Reacher character is that Tom Cruise is barely 5′-5″ and may not weigh 150 pounds soaking wet.

    I’m usually the quiet type but sometimes I can be the funniest guy in the room.
    A new show ( or book or food) I like is my wife’s latest version of a lemon ice box pie. It is out of this world..
    I would like to skip the diet and jump right to the beach body.
    I haven’t had serious pain since my knee replacement surgery last year. The wonders of modern medicine.

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

      Love your fill-ins. I agree with Cruise being a poor choice, but the first book was done with a guy that does Reacher justice. It was a great show. 🙂

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

      Alan Ritchson is the new Jack Reacher in the Reacher TV series. He fits the look of Jack Reacher. Great show. You can find the shows on Amazon Prime. 🙂

  17. Rosey says:

    I have seen Jack Reacher, the movie (on a plane ride to Europe). It was good. 🙂 I didn’t know it was a show. Also, I don’t like to read the instructions either. I’ll start to and then just throw them aside and wing it. There has been more than one time I’ve had to disassemble to reassemble the right way. 😉

    Here’s mine:
    I’m usually quiet but sometimes I can be animated.
    2. A new show (or book or food) I like is Virgin River (I liked the first second one was rinse, repeat, recycle…and I guess since there’s two seasons it isn’t new, but it was new to me).
    3. I would like to skip dieting and exercise and jump right to being back to my pre-menopausal weight.
    4. I haven’t gotten over the fear of running out of toilet paper since Covid hit, lol. I always make sure there’s a little extra in the house.

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

      Love your fill-ins. Virgin River is good. I think we just watched season 4 and they are filming season 5. I’ll watch that as soon as I can. Great show. We have extra toilet paper too. 🙂

      Sandee says:

      I hear you, but reading all the instructions is a waste of time to me. 🙂

    What a great Mom and kid shot! And Sandee, I love your fill-ins. Jack Reacher is one of my favourite fictional people. I think I read every one up until 3 years ago and I’ve listened to many of the audio books, usually during the 2 hour rides to the big city. And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve sat in my car listening to the end of chapters! And when it comes to directions, being the good technical writer I am, I always read the directions first. I love your posts! Barb

      Thank you sweetie. Jack Reacher is wonderful. What a great author Lee Child is. Love to all and a smooch to Marv. 🙂

  19. 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:

    Fabulous fill-ins, and the P.A. is reading the Jack Reacher books, she’s about to start the 7th, the TV show is epic, and the movies are pretty epic too! Happy Caturday and thank mew for hosting, as always!

    What a cute photo of that momma and her kitten!

    Reacher is so cool. I think they did a wonderful job adapting the books to the series. As for putting stuff together, I am definitely like Zane in that I read the directions first. 🙂

    Happy weekend, my friend!

    Cute picture. Your house is the opposite of ours, my hubby never reads directions until after the fact…makes me crazy. He also argues with the GPS directions…I thought it was a man thing.
