The question on February 18 is 'If you won a game show, what would you want your grand prize to be? I believe that most people would want cash or a new car, but I think I would like a menagerie of small items for my home from furniture to appliances or another choice of a grand prize would be a tiny house that seem to be all the rage for some for even now Amazon has tiny houses for sale. That's it a new tiny house as long as it has room for a small library. How about you?

As the question for February 21 is "Please don't BUG OUT! but what is your favorite insect and why? What is you least favorite insect and why? Believe it or not, my favorite insect is the lightning bug otherwise known as a firefly in a tie with the Daddy Long Legs. Lightning bugs because they are fun to catch and collect and watching them light up and the Daddy Long Legs to watch them wiggle when you grab their long leg. To tell the truth insects a necessary evil for various ecosystems. I have no least favorite insects now.

Moving on to Thanksgiving
Tonight is All Hallow's Eve. Now it is the time to think about giving thanks and it all starts tomorrow with All Saints Day and saying thank you to all who have gone before. Thanksgiving is a day that brings families together and to show gratitude for what they have accomplished hopefully for the good. We all hope to be bountiful in what we do in our lives no matter what we choose. It's time to put away the scary and bring out the joy of harvest time and to help others in need and give thanks for surviving tonight.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Words of Radiance
Words of Radiance by Brandon Sanderson And so we come to the yearly ovation for Mr. Sanderson. The man is a genius, his lecture series is one of the most important resources ever developed for writers, and I’m yet to pick up a Sando that’s scored below a 70. I have critiques that we’ll come to, but suffice to say I am a big supporter of Sanderson.

Bruce Lee and The God of War: Kuan Ti
It starts with love.. The Power to the God Of War and Wealth Walk into a Chinese restaurant (even in Oklahoma, USA), a Chinese police station, a kung fu martial arts studio or even a Chinese temple and you often see a red faced warrior holding a heavy quan-do (spear like weapon).

Love your answers, Mark! It reminds me that my daughter and son-in-law are building a guest house first on their property, before they build their own home. It is very much a tiny house. Then they will live in it while they are building. They are doing everything themselves, including cutting the trees and making the materials for the cabin. It is even handicap accessible. I wondered if it might be my home one day, if anything happens to my husband? She said it is for their company. She wouldn't admit she has me in mind, if she does.😊💕
🏆Tiny houses do sound exciting. It's crazy cool, that Amazon listed them. At this point, what are they NOT selling? lol. Prizes from winning a game show 🤔 I think I would want lots of books, lol. 🦋🦟My favourite insects are the Red Admiral butterfly — it is beautiful — as soon as we left our house one day. We saw one on the ground. It didn't fly away so we took a picture of it. From that day onwards, it became my favourite. 🦋🦟My next one. Since I couldn't pick just one. Is the dragonfly. One whizzed by when we were in the forest. I remember wanting to follow it. This was a fun and lovely read, Mark 🤗 ❤️ 🖤
How about a tiny library that has room for a bed? :D I'd love that!
I thought I commented on this before it’s gone now lol nice job mark well done My best bug is a lady bird as they are gentle kind bugs and worst beetles and cockroaches and spiders 🦋♦️🦋
Fabulous Mark 😊♦️😊
