Wednesday Hodpodge: Volume 535

 

For the life of me I can't figure out how to do that linky button thing that's available on the Wednesday Hodgepodge. Anyone have any suggestions how to use it? For now, here's the original post for anyone else that wants to participate.

1. Do you have a word for the year (WOTY)? Yes. If so, and you'd like to share, please share. How do you decide on a word? If you don't have a word are you still on the hunt for one for 2024? I pray, then let God show me His direction, or, at least I hope I do. So far I'm not being very bold. Nothing much has changed. 

2. January 23rd is National Pie Day. Will you celebrate? Do you like pie? What's your favorite?  No, I won't celebrate. I like pie but it's too deadly for my blood sugar. My favorite was Baked Apple. 

3. Tipping. What are your thoughts, expectations, as to who, when where? Do you appreciate a store/restaurant giving a 'suggested amount'? Have you ever left an extravagant tip?  I have given some waitresses a "nice" tip (more that 10%) but tipping has made eating out almost impossible for us now. It's come down to either eat the meal or tip. Time to eat at home 99.9% of the time because I don't like to be unkind to the server. Besides, it's cheaper and safer for my health to eat at home. It seems there's too many carbo laden meals in most restaurants, so, most of my meal gets left on the plate.

4. Share with us one household 'tip' that works for you.   I'm drawing a blank here.  πŸ˜‘

5. Influencers on social media are people who've built a reputation for their knowledge and expertise on a particular subject. Do you follow any influencers online? Have you made a purchase or tried something new because of that 'influence'? If there's one you particularly enjoy tell us who they are and why you enjoy them.   Until this question, I didn't know what an 'influencer' is, so, that is a no all the way around. 

6. Insert your own random thought here. 

The hydrocortisone shot yesterday went well. The shot burned like stink for an hour but I can already feel relief for the "Weaver's Butt". Now Steve's twisted a muscle in his back, bless his heart. πŸ’“ He has a Chiropractor appointment today. Not to worry. The Doc always sets him right. Funny how if it's not one thing it's two others. πŸ˜œπŸ˜…


Ride Safe,

  1. Welcome to the Hodgepodge tribe!
    So glad you're already feeling relief from that shot!! I'm definitely going to ask my provider for a referral b/c the state of my lower back/hips isn't getting any better. I'd love to get chiropractic care again, but due to the osteoporosis, they won't touch me.

  2. So glad that backside is doing better!
    I don't mind tipping in restaurants, but I feel like tipping is out of control everywhere else. Everyone wants a tip now!

  3. Welcome to the Hodgepodge! I am not super tech but will make a try at telling you how to insert the button into your post. You go to the button on my sidebar and highlight ALL the text in the box just below (not the button itself, just the text). Then you hit copy and go back to your post and paste. I am on Blogger and to get the button text right I have to be in html mode as opposed to compose mode. I type in compose mode switch to html to get the button text posted, then revert back to compose mode. Once you insert it you can move it around. I might have confused you more lol. I also feel like tipping has gotten a bit ridiculous. Everyone wants a tip now and quite often you're doing all the ordering, pick up, and clean up yourself. Hope you have a great day and that shot helps you feel better!

  5. Love your blog. Beware all the doom porn fed by the media, even that new video by Ohio sheriff. All he heard and spoke about was from Wray the director. Remember, we have already won, the tomb is still empty.

    1. Thanks. Oh, I definitely beware of all that the so called media put out there. 😁 I only trust God's word completely. Don't know who the Ohio Sheriff is. I'll google it.
      Thanks for visiting! Stay safe out there. πŸ’Œ
