Today, I’m joining in with Share Your World. I loved today’s questions. Here are they and my answers.
1. Is it wrong to sell store-bought pastries at a bake sale?
No. It’s a little unauthentic, but it’s not morally wrong. In fact, with the licensing that’s required to sell food (or cosmetics), it may be wiser. I know this from the time I made handmade soaps for my staff and fellow patients in the psych hospital. They wanted to give me a small amount of money for it and I didn’t object, but I did make it clear that I didn’t have a license. When my staff sold a traditional new year’s treat in large quantities at my ward, the manager did make sure he had a license.
2. Have you ever interacted with the police?
Lots of times, mostly for my own safety when I was in a mental crisis. I have however also been in contact with the police for the mere crime of being (or appearing) lost. I will soon write a post on this topic.
3. What will you remember most about this past year?
So far, the most memorable moment of 2019 was my being approved for long-term care.
4. Is it better to have fungus on your toes, your tongue, or your pizza?
LOL. Since a pizza with mushrooms on it is called fungi at least here, I prefer that. Not that I like this pizza, but it’s much better than having a toe fungus at least. I am so happy my toe fungus was finally (mostly) eradicated after many years of suffering when I got oral medication for it last year. I have no experience with a tongue fungus and I’d like to keep it that way.
5. What is one slang word that makes your skin crawl?
I don’t know much about slang, but ableist slurs definitely make me angry. I’ll go with “lame” for now.
Wonderful answers to Share Your World! Thanks for participating and I’m glad you got approved too! I’m gonna have to re-think the mushroom/fungus idea…it’s brilliant! 🙂

Astrid:
good point about the cakes and the soaps. [unless authenticity is one of your central or core moral and ethical precepts/tenets].
Usually these licences are check-by-check; tick-by-tick and can be got through a course or a day centre.
I am the sort of person who feels funny when a family member brings a store-bought cake when I know their cooking would be better or as good as the store-bought cake unless I really like the cake and it’s a delicacy in that store or that neighbourhood.
Tongue fungi are often diagnostic of health issues.
One place I would not like to have a fungal infection is under my breasts. Cousins discussed it last November [2018].
I did something that I’ll remember for the rest of 2019. I broke my bed. The timber was not so good and the balance had been shifting for a while when I was awake and asleep.
That traditional New Years’ treat – we’ll have to have some of it in 2020, won’t we?
Okay: slang word that I hate. Yours truly was on Merriam-Webster a few hours ago and the way SANCTION has transformed into a deeply unholy word for holy things or law. I learnt also it was a noun and a verb.
Another word which has become this is CANCEL as in CANCEL CULTURE.
Carrie-Anne from Welcome to my Magick World wrote about the slang words for piercings – many annoy her especially in a professional context. Terms of trade and/or art!
Melanie Cee:
I am fond of all sorts of mushrooms – not necessarily cooked. I like enoki; shiitake and all the mushrooms in an Asian grocery store [they live usually on the top shelf along with kimchi]. I also find fermentation really great and would like to experiment with it on a pizza.
Suze:
Your comment made me think about Adrian Mole and his aunt Grace Pool who worked as an orderly in a prison setting . Their thing was toothbrushes especially of the teddy bear kind.
Adrian Mole is in a series of very funny diaries by the late Sue Townsend.

I intend to miaow my way – or claw my way – back in to a Friday blog
