July 2024 Prompts - Part 2
Sep. 1st, 2024 10:01 pm1 JULY: Second Half of the Year Day: How has the first half of 2024 been for you? It was rather a mixed bag. I had aa good trip to Portugal and the Azures. I enjoyed assorted theatre going and various events with friends. I went to some interesting genealogy talks, but am still way behind in research. I went to several fun storytelling events. But I also had to deal with some household crap.
2 JULY: World UFO Day: Do you believe in UFOs? I think that there are unidentified flying objects out there, but that doesn’t mean that those objects are extraterrestrial in origin.
3 JULY: International Plastic Bag Free Day: How often do you use cloth or non-plastic bags? I use cloth tote bags most of the time.
4 JULY: Fourth of July: Fireworks. Yay or nay? I like watching fireworks better from indoors where the weather isn’t so icky.
5 JULY: Bikini Day: When is the last time you wore a bathing suit? I swam in a swimming pool in Lisbon.
6 JULY: Play Outside Day: What’s your favorite outside game? I can’t think of anything. Bt when I was growing up I played tennis a lot, as well as softball and basketball around our neighborhood.
7 JULY: Chocolate Day: What’s your favorite way to eat chocolate? Snap off a piecee of chocolate. Eat slowly.
8 JULY: Coca-Cola Day: Coca-cola. Yay or nay? I sometimes drink Coze Zero, but there are other soft drinks I prefer.
9 JULY: Dimples Day: Do you have dimples? Do you find them attractive? I don’t think I have dimples and I never really notice them on other people.
10 JULY: Kitten Day: Would you ever take care of a kitten? Yes,but there is still the fundamental problem that kittens have this annoying tendency to turn into cats.
11 JULY: Cheer up the Lonely Day: What’s the best way to cheer up the lonely? If someone complains to you about being lonely, you can suggest things you might do together. Or you can tell them that it’s okay to do things alone if they want to. In other words, let them lead the way.
12 JULY: Motorcycle Day: Have you ever driven a motorcycle or ridden on the back of one? No, and I have no desire to.
13 JULY: International Skinny Dipping Day: Have you ever been skinny dipping? Yes, but it’s been a long time.
14 JULY: Bastille Day: Is there any place you’d like to storm? Hmmm, if I could storm a site where hostages are being held with some reasonable chance of surviving, sure.
15 JULY: Gummi Worm Day: Have you ever eaten a gummi worm? No. I hate the texture of gummy candies.
16 JULY: World Snake Day: What would you do if you could shed your skin? Maybe have the best pedicure ever.
17 JULY: World Emoji Day: What emoji do you use most? I use smileys a fair amount.
18 JULY: Nelson Mandela Day: Who is your hero? This is tough. Probably Sophie Germaine, who was the first woman honored by the French Academy of Sciences.
19 JULY: Celebration of the Horse Day: Have you ridden any animal other than a horse? Only on carousels.
20 JULY: World Chess Day: Do you know how to play chess? I do, but I haven’t played since about 9th grade. My cousin, Maria Rivka Chwoles-Lichtenfeld, was the Lithuanian Women’s Chess Champion in 1954 and 1955 and won the Israeli Women’s Chess Championship in 1957.
21 JULY: Legal Drinking Age: When did you take your first sip of liquor? I’m not sure, but it was probably in my early teens. Or possibly earlier if you count a shot of schnapps my parents gave me on New Year’s Eve.
22 JULY: Mango Day. Mangos. Yay or nay? They’re okay but not my favorite.
23 JULY: Math Week: Do you like math? I like math, but I always preferred science to pure math. Linear algebra was much better than working on proofs.
24 JULY: International Self Care Day: What do you do for self care? I find it helpful to try to get enough sleep and exercise and eating sanely and such.
25 JULY: World Drowning Prevention Day: Do you know how to swim? Yes, but I don’t think I’m a particularly good swimmer.

27 JULY: Love is Kind Day: What’s the last act of kindness you performed? Mostly listening to various friends in distress.
28 JULY: Buffalo Soldiers Day: Do you like reggae music? Yes, I do, but I like ska even more. Madness, The Specials, The English Beat, Mighty Mighty Bosstones are a few bands to start with.
29 JULY: Rain Day: Do you like rain? I like light rain if I have to be out in it. I hate drenching thunderstorms, however.
30 JULY: Cheesecake Day: What’s your favorite flavor of cheesecake? Cheesecake is a flavor and should not come in flavors. Though, to be fair, my all time most popular recipe is for chocolate-rum cheesecake.
31 JULY: Avocado Day: Do you like avocados? Not particularly, since I am not fond of mushy foods.
2 JULY: World UFO Day: Do you believe in UFOs? I think that there are unidentified flying objects out there, but that doesn’t mean that those objects are extraterrestrial in origin.
