Earthly Comforts 
You have awoken to a new day after a restless night filled with strange dreams and have discovered a dead person sitting on your toilet. They are a stranger to you. What do you do?
Go back to sleep and hope that it’s just a nightmare. 😰
Are you a hat-wearing person, and if you are, which style do you favour?
Never wore a formal hat. Had those woolen caps when I was younger.
How many posts do you create and publish each week to your blog?
I post 2-3 posts a day so for a week, perhaps 14- 17 posts. No more than this.
How often do you talk to strangers?
Whenever the need arises.
How many tee shirts do you own?
None while I m in Pakistan. When I was in America, I had many.
Do you or have you ever ironed socks? If so, why?
I don’t like wearing socks! Ironed or otherwise 😂
Do you spend too much time online, and would you know if you were spending too much time online?
I’m only online when blogging. It can be 3-4 hours a day. Not too much, I hope?
Does your family or any of your real-life friends read your blog, and perhaps more importantly, do you let them, or do you want them to?
Sometimes I share a post with my family on our family WhatsApp group. Otherwise they don’t read my blog regularly. I have no objection to them reading my posts.
What do you think the secret is to living a happier life?
Keep your expectations minimal or better still non-existent. Be in charge of your own happiness and don’t expect others to provide it.

Call police
Are you a hat-wearing person, and if you are, which style do you favour?
If I wear any hat at all, tiz a baseball hat 🧢 Red Sox only lol ✌️is usually the hat you will see me wear if I need a hat
Also… one other hat I might wear is cowboy hat – but that is only at a rodeo or something like that
Possibly a beanie beret during winter 🥶
Otherwise I am not a hat wearer
I do not wear hats for fashion
How many posts do you create and publish each week to your blog? Varies on the time I have available and also my mental stability lol ✌️
How often do you talk to strangers? DAILY!!
How many tee shirts do you own? A gazillion – I sleep in tshirts and wear them a lot when home ❤️
Do you or have you ever ironed socks? If so, why? Nope – too much work – who gonna notice my socks lol
I did once have an employee who came to work with shark socks – where looked like a shark was eating their legs 🙄😑 yeah not good for funerals
Do you spend too much time online, and would you know if you were spending too much time online? No I don’t just when I come here or if I am looking up information. Yes I would know because I would get antsy and bored – I have too much to be doing than to be online… work, kids, dog, friends – yeah I do not have time – internet is for downtime if I have some and not too exhausted
Sometimes I watch things that I want to know more about so I will google and read – or if someone says something I don’t know of – I will google that 😄
Does your family or any of your real-life friends read your blog, and perhaps more importantly, do you let them, or do you want them to?
No they do not – I don’t mention I have a blog… some sorta know but I refuse to tell them where to read … is for me and my own healing ❤️🩹 If they know me personally then there is no need to know my blog.
What do you think the secret is to living a happier life? Not having social media, so that you don’t have negative things, judge or compare yourself… having amazing people in your life – ones that make you laugh and share memories with you, knowing yourself, being happy with who are, find the positive or enjoyment in everyday moments, don’t mind too much what others think (care about others, but be yourself) – I find marching to my own drum way better ❤️✌️ I did it “my way” 🎶
Also helps to understand life does have ups and downs … everyone has a story and everyone is quirky 😉
Enjoy life and the moments given – because one day you won’t have it.
Live, love, laugh 💋

Mm, a cowboy hat, mm, yes l can see you in one of those, very nice style.
Are the socks on the deceased ironed Trisha? It’s something l have always wondered. Shark socks sound awesome!
Good answer regarding the blog, solid and truthful.
And this … fabulous answer 🙂

Ok I’m at the school waiting – see how close lol
Yeah cowboy hat not often – like I said – when is called for … you know “when in Rome” lol … so if I am at an event or something yes lol
For wind, rain or bad hair days is – Red Sox hat 🧢
Sometimes warm beanie (beret type is one I have) covers my ears and is floppy – also doesn’t make me look electric too much lol (hair) ONLY when deathly cold!! 🥶
Otherwise I like no hat and hair down 👍 the wild look 😘
I also don’t like hat hair lol
Hahaha you make me laugh with ironing socks lol – do people do that? I can’t remember if my grandparents ever did that, but I do not think so with socks lol ?? 🤷♀️🤷♀️
It reminds me of one time someone asking me if I shave my arms lol 😄😄 I have very very very blonde hair on my arm so you can’t tell – but no I don’t – I had never heard of or knew people did that lol … omg no way do I wanna spend that much time shaving 🪒 … I already do enough places lol – I would be in the shower forever!! That would drive me insane!! And the upkeep – nope 👎 no I do not lol
But as far as socks go… some families might iron their loved ones socks – it is whatever the family wishes – some bring socks, some don’t … is preference or how wish to be.
I definitely do NOT iron socks either lol
My socks are typically cotton ❤️ nice and comfy – white or black lol … I might have some Irish socks lol
The shark socks were very cute ❤️ but not for funerals lol
Yeah ❤️ I like my answer there too lol 😘✌️❤️ thank you ❤️
And again thank you for checking on me ❤️😊

Hi Rory,

I not only talk to strangers, I let them wear my baseball caps when I invite them in to use my toilet. The few friends and family who actually read my Blog know exactly how often I post. I own more than 80 tee shirts because I never wear the ones I am given (I only wear shirts with long sleeves). I know I am spending too much time online when I start counting shirts and answering questions about ironing socks. Picking the right partner is the key to a happier life.
