SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2016 WEEK 25

With your answers, please remember we are in the SYW world which may not always match our reality.

How many languages do you you speak?

American English with a smattering of Spanglish!! Meaning I speak Spanish but poorly. Must improve my Spanish speaking skills once I retire.

What are some words that just make you smile?

FREE MONEY!! LOL!! CHOCOLATE!!  VACATION!!

If you were the original architect of one existing building, which building would you select?

Perhaps the Flat Iron Building or the Grace Building in New York City. I like the shapes of both buildings.  Here are links with more information on both edifices.

Would you rather have telepathy or telekinesis?  (Telepathy is the communication using your brain waves, telekinesis is channeling the energy onto physical objects to cause substantial, observable physical changes.)

Telepathy. I would think that this skill would be more useful in understanding and communicating with other living beings human, animal and plant life.

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up? 

SUMMER!! Hooray for Sun, Sand, Beach, Baseball, Brooklyn Botanic Gardens, walks in the park and Heat!!  Also last Thursday was wonderful. Quiet in the Main Building and I had a great time working overtime in the satellite building. I enjoy working in the satellite galleries so much that I’m going to request a transfer. Speaking with one of the supervisors over there I learned that his wife had given birth to a baby boy two months ago!! Great baby news!!

In the upcoming week and weekend I look forward to attending a Brooklyn Cyclones ballgame (minor league) and attending Curlfest an event for Black Women who wear their hair Natural! Naturalistas Rule!!

SHARE YOUR WORLD – 2015 WEEK #36

If you were a pen, what type, style and color would you be?

A Fountain Pen with purple ink. I often feel like an anachronism. One born out of time, meant to be in another century. As a kid I had some fountain pens and I loved them despite the fact that they could be messy. One just had to learn to tame that ink! LOL!

How many languages do you you speak?

One. English. Took Spanish in High School but that was over 30 years ago! However living in New York does give me opportunities to use my rickety Spanish skills. One day I will master the Spanish language.

Are you a listener or talker?

I listen but really enjoy talking more.

Rather Have:  Which would you rather have, 2 million dollars or true love? 

True Love. Uncle Sam would take most of the $2 million leaving me with not much left. However with true love you never know. Perhaps my next man will be a millionaire and I’ll have both Love and Wealth! 🙂  LOL!

Bonus question:  What are you grateful for from last week, and what are you looking forward to in the week coming up?

Being able to spend time outside enjoying New York City and today having fun hiking the Ramble Nature Trails in Central Park.  I’m becoming a Real Rambling Rosie!!  😀 LOL!!  Check out my pictures:  http://roamingurbangypsy.com/2015/09/07/rambling-through-central-park/

Looking forward to my upcoming vacation!! Yessssssss!!!!!!!!  More rambling and exploring the Big Apple!! Booyah!!

Bye, Bye Rosetta Stone!

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Take That, Rosetta!.”

Take That, Rosetta!

If you could wake up tomorrow and be fluent in any language you don’t currently speak, which would it be? Why? What’s the first thing you do with your new linguistic skills?

Spanish.

Large Hispanic population in New York.  In fact Spanish is the most widely spoken language in New York at least I believe so. Also Spanish is like a second language here. Many jobs require that applicants speak, read and write Spanish.

Shock my Spanish speaking friends by fluently conversing with them. They would be so pleased because they always encourage me to practice and watch the Novelas.

Study Abroad ~~ Where and Why?

Study Abroad

If you were asked to spend a year living in a different location, where would you choose and why?

Spain!  I went there many years ago when while stationed in Germany. One of the best vacations I ever had. Would love to perfect my Spanish, immerse myself in the culture, food, history, customs and take up residence at the Prado Museum!  Plus Spain is a beautiful country!  Can’t wait to return!
