A No Joking Hodgepodge


 

No foolin'! April is here. What's one fun thing on your April calendar? 

April is the month that my parents died in mum on the 12 and dad on the 21, so not a happy month for me.

It's often said, 'A fool and his money are soon parted'...what's the last thing you wasted money on? 

Had to give this some thought but I can’t think of a single thing as I am careful with money.

April 2nd is National DIY day. Are you a do-it yourself kind of person or maybe you're married to one? If so, what's the last thing you DIY-ed. If you're not a DIY-er what's the most recent job you had to hire someone to complete? 

Nope I don’t do any DIY, I leave that to Tim.

Do you eat lamb? If so do you have a favourite dish that calls for lamb? 

Of course I eat lamb, lamb is popular in Australia, I love a lamb roast.

Do you fit a stereotype in some way? Explain.

No, I don’t think I am 

Insert your own random thought here. 

I know many may disagree, but I do not understand the point of April Fools Day, maybe it is because often the so-called jokes and pranks are not funny in my opinion. Some are degrading and embarrassing to object of the joke.

  1. You should do a series on dumb holidays from around the world. I agree April Fools is dumb but it's TRADITION!

  2. I used to love playing along with April Fools, but it's lost most of its appeal with me, b/c all the people who don't know where the line is.

  3. I've never cared for April Fools jokes either. Some take it way too far. I am wondering about the origin of this particular holiday? Not sure I even know. I hope you're feeling better.

  4. ((HUGS)) That is really sad about your parents both passing away in April. Good for you being careful with your money. Nice to hear that you enjoy lamb. I kind of agree with you. I certainly don't need April Fool's Day. Hope you have a nice weekend.
