Sisters and March Questions?

Hello all,

I see that it is question month. I cannot imagine anything about me that a person might want to ask, but just in case.....go for it.

So as not to make this post a total loss, I got this picture from my daughter and thought some of you ladies with older/younger sisters could relate.


Blessings,
George

    Love that photo George!!
    I was the older sister who hated being dressed like my little sister, lol.

    Ok, so here it goes:

    What is your love language? What is Nina's love language?
    (gifts, quality time, words of encouragement, physical touch or acts of service)

    What did you do with Nina on your first date?
    Is there anything you haven't done but have on your bucket list?

    hugs,
    Cali

      Hi Cali, thanks for the insightful questions. I am so glad you liked the picture of those adorable little girls!

      My love language is physical touch. I love to hug everybody, including guys that are not homophobic! Nina and I hold hands when we walk and when we sit together in a movie or church. I used to work in a government job where touching was fowned upon, but I did it anyway and nobody ever objected. I was at one of those "conventions" with a large group of managers and the big boss was talking about sexual harrassment and I spoke up and said hugs were good and to prove it I would hug him, so he said ok. I went up in front of the entire group and we hugged. It became a tradition for the two of us after that at all the forthcoming gatherings!

      Nina is a toss-up between quality time and touch. She likes to have a special time for all the various celebrations and sometime just to get away and spend quality time together without all the interruptions of life. She is also a touch person and so in that aspect we certainly compliment each other.

      Nina and I actually met on a blind date! We had mutual friends and got together for a trip to a German festival. We ended up going country western dancing later and I asked her for her number. A week or so later I called, but she didn't remember who I was (great impression I made, no? lol) She says that she never expected me to call and that was the reason she had forgotten! Well, she agreed to go out again and were married a year later!

      People tell me I am nuts, but on my bucket list I want to be a high school history teacher! I love kids and am astonished about how much history they are totally oblivious of today! I also love music and would like to direct a high school jazz band and teach a flying ground school to the kids.

      Thanks for the questions!

      HUGS! (seemed appropriate :-)

    Hi George, :). Very cute pic of the sisters. I can relate from the sister and the mom with two girls perspectives.

    Questions. Hmm... Besides spanking, what do you and Nina like to do on your time off together? Does Nina like to fly with you?

    Thanks George. :). Many hugs,

    <3 Katie

      Hi Katie, weren't those two little girl adorable! I figured a lot of y'all would relate to that image in one way or another.

      Besides spanking, at home Nina and I like to go to sporting events, see movies, and attend concerts of our favorite groups. We both love to travel and we have seen a lot of the USA. We are hoping to travel to Europe and visit there too. We enjoy looking at open houses on Sunday after church to get ideas for decorating. Or some evenings we just make popcorn, put on an old movie (I am blessed because she actually likes WWII movies and spy flicks along with the traditional girl movies) and drink wine until we fall alseep on the floor (real exciting couple aren't we?).

      The company I work for does not allow non company persons to travel on the airplanes, so she does not get to fly with me. I have a long lost of places that I want to show her and I hope that we can buy a small airplane of our own and visit all those places.

      Thanks for the questions,

      HUGS (I am going with that salutation tonight!)

    Well happy to see you around out here again George.

    No questions for you, just wanted to share a story. When I my sister was in her early teens, she wanted my Mom to sew her this awesome outfit ( gah, it was the 70, awesome means highly flammable(from friction) polyester with a navy background and white and red flowers- how American...sigh) anyway, my Mother obliged. What my sister DIDN't bargain for was the matching outfit my Mom made for me, her 4 year old sister, out of the 'left over' material. We have many photos of us traveling out West with ________ in her outfit holding me looking not so impressed!

    As a mother of multiple boys( who are spaced like stair steps as my Mom would say) I used to dress them the same if we went somewhere like the zoo. I told Barney this way if one goes missing we can say he was wearing....THIS and grab another one of our boys! LOL...

    Oh here is a question...how is that exercise regiment coming along?
    love

      Hi Willie,

      Sounds like that could have been a picture of you and your sister....or maybe it WAS you and your sister! Good idea about dressing the boys the same for ID reasons. I bet they did not care or even mention it.

      As for my exercise commitment....it's only Tuesday! Ask me again on Friday! LOL

      Thanks for sharing the story.
      HUGS,
      George

    Yep, that photo just about sums it up!!! :)

    Okay, you fly all over the world, is there a place you have not been to yet that you long to see?

      Hi Es May,

      Interesting question I had to think about, but I came up with Easter Island. I have been intrigued with those monolith stone heads ever since the first time I saw a picture of them. Nina said it is too remote of a place for her, so I guess I will have to make that trek alone!

      Thanks for asking!

      HUGS (still going with that salutation)

    Cute picture George. I am the little sister and I can relate perfectly :)

    Does Nina read your blog? Since you travel for your work, when it's time for vacation, do you just want to stay home?

      Hi Queenie,

      Interesting how many ladies are relating to that picture. I guess it is a sister thing!

      Nina does not regularly read my blog. She really is a vanilla girl and while she is happy to spank me, and has fun doing it, she doesn't really understand the emotional need and is not as interested in TTWD in general as I. I really wish she would be more involved and get to know some of the wonderful people in this community, but I am just thankful she is willing to be as involved as she is. Like a lot of us, I was very nervous the first time I told her of my desire to be spanked! Perhaps in time she will become more actively engaged in the community and I can convince her to write a post about her feelings.

      I do like to travel on vacation even though I fly all over the place for a living. It is so much fun taking Nina and showing her some of the great locations I have visited. She loves to travel and see not only the USA but we want to travel to Europe.

      Now if I am home from a trip and have a few days off, I am a homebody. I can stay in the house doing stuff for 2 days without ever going out, and I suppose that is a result of my job.

      Thanks for the questions.

      HUGS,
      George

    Great humour in the picture, George. Loved it. Fortunately, having a boy and a girl, I was never tempted to dress them the same. LOL! I don't really have any specific questions for you. What a shame Nina never gets to fly with you. I do hope you can hire or buy a little aeroplane and take her somewhere nice, one day. Oh, I know, "Where would you like to travel with Nina for a long holiday if you had total carte blanche?"

    Many hugs
    Ami

      Hi Ami,

      Tough question. I will have to give that some thought! Give me a day or two to come up with an answer.

      HUGS,
      George

      OK Ami, given carte blanche I would take Nina and first do a boat trip down the Rhine or maybe the Danube, then visit all of Europe and England and end up in Scandinavia at one of those Ice hotels to see the northern lights!

      Thanks for the idea....how about you and Dan join us!

      Blessings,
      George

    Hey George...love the picture...really made me giggle. Love the answers you have already given. ;)

    My questions: If you could have a weekend house party with five people (living or dead) who would they be?

    Blessings...

      Hi Cat, Glad you liked the picture, those little girls were sooo adorable! I had to do some serious pondering for your question.

      I considered going with a group of fascinating biblical persons like Moses, Abraham, Issac, Noah and Joshua, but decided that would not be all that great...after all it is a house party and what would I serve to that group? And then you would have Moses reminding us of the commandments and Joshua would want to go battle someone and Noah would be worried about the weather and it would just get way to out of hand!

      So then I thought how about a Hollywood type of crowd with the likes of Harrison Ford, Matthew McConaughy, Sandra Bullock, Clint Eastwood and Ingred Bergman, but thought no, they are all nice folks but I would probably regret that I wasted an opportunity to have significant social intercourse with mere actors (although it was a tough decision because I fell in love with Ingred the first time I saw Casa Blanca).

      So I finally decided I would pick a group of folks that I thought I would enjoy spending an evening with regardless of who they are or what anyone else might think! So here goes:

      My choices would be in no particular order of preference;

      1. Thomas Jefferson. He was an intelligent man with uncommon sense. I would like to ask him about what the founding fathers really expected the USA to look like. I also would like to talk with him about his interactions with Napolean and how he managed to negotiate the Lousiana purchase. I tell you Thomas would be the guy to take with you to negotiate for a new car!

      2. President Bill Clinton. I didn't agree with all of his politics, but the guy is a Rhodes scholar a muscian and has a great personality. I am sure he could entertain with stories for hours. I would like to ask him "Really Bill, Monica? At least JFK romanced Marilyn!" And can you imagine getting him and old TJ together!

      3. Barry Manilow. He is in my opinion one of the most underrated muscians in the country. He made his start in Jingles like State Farm "Like a good neighbor" Band-aid Brand "Stuck on me", McDonalds "You deserve a break today". I so admire his talent and he seems like such a great person, I would love to watch him play the piano....and after all any party needs a piano player!!

      4. Sarah Palin. I don't agree with all of her politics either, but she is a mom, a governor, a vp contender (ok they her and Sen McCain were not really all that much in contention, but she was a trailblazer) and a Fox news personality. I think she would be a delightful person to talk with. God knows the girl is not shy about sharing her thoughts and opinions! And seriously, I say good for her to any woman who can send the message that young girls should not be limited in their imagine for their future asperations and dreams.

      5 Last someone I doubt many have heard of. Dr Deborah Tannen. A New York Times best selling author, with books like "You Were Always Mom's Favorite", Your Wearing THAT! Understanding Mothers and Daughters In Conversation" and "You Just Don't Understand,: Women and Men in Conversation". She is a remarkable lady with a unique insight into relationships and I would love to spend not just an evening, but a week talking with her. BTW if you are nterested her website is: www9.georgetown.edu/faculty/tannend

      So there you go! My fantasy house party. I am taking a sign up list for anyone who wants to be invited. Now all I have to do is figure out how to resurrect old TJ and we can pick a date!!!

      Thanks Cat that was a lot of fun!

      Blessing back to you...

    As the little sister, I can totally relate. I still raid my sister's wardrobe when I visit her. She's not too interested in mine.

    I had one of each so was able to get them into a few matching frocks when my son was tiny. I'd have to drug him now to get them to match (and possibly drug my husband too).

    I've loved reading the answers above.

      Leah, thanks for the comment. I am glad you enjoyed the picture and is it not the way that "little sisters" are the one's who wants to emulate their 'big sisters". Nina was a little sister and she just adores her big sister!

      Buy your son a six pack of his favorite brew and he will dress in anything you want! It is just the way we guys are! Like I tell Nina,"I have my price....and it is not too expensive!" LOL

      Blessings,
      George
