From This Side of The Pond asks the questions, we answer here: http://www.fromthissideofthepond.com/2018/01/stuck-in-hodgepodge.html
1. It's that time of year again...time for Lake Superior University to present a list of words (or phrases) they'd like to see banished (for over-use, mis-use, or genera uselessness) in 2018. You can read more about the decision making process and word meaning here, but this year's top vote getters are-
unpack, dish (as in dish out the latest rumor), pre-owned, onboarding/offboarding, nothingburger, let that sink in, let me ask you this, impactful, Cofefe, drill down, fake news, hot water heater (hot water doesn't need to be heated), and gig economy
Which of these words/phrases would you most like to see banished from everyday speech and why? Is there a word not on the list you'd like to add?
None of those words bother me, what does is "game changer" I hate that!
2. What's something you need to get rid of in the new year?
Oh, there is lots...I buy out estates and resell...but, personally, clothes. I have so many I don't wear.
3. Where do you feel stuck?
At the scale. This year I lost weight, but I can't get over that hump. I'm afraid that means I need to exercise and I am not a fan of that!
4. January is National Soup Month. When did you last have a bowl of soup? Was it made from scratch or from a can? Your favorite canned soup? Your favorite soup to make from scratch on a cold winter's day?
I love soup, made pea soup yesterday and making chili today. Yes, all from scratch and our home raised and grown items (we live on a small farm). Chicken and Stars my favorite canned soup and beef barley is my favorite!
5. Tell us one thing you're looking forward to in 2018.
Gardening. My garden fell flat last year - too cold and too much rain - not to mention, I was too busy to take care of it. So, I am slowing down and doing the things I want to this year.
6. Insert your own random thought here
I did the "best 9" on Instagram. When I look at this, I am reminded of how blessed I am and that maybe 2017 wasn't so bad! Happy New Year!
Blessings from Ringle, Wisconsin.
