@rasmasandra! You are the lucky recipient of random comment number 14, do you feel lucky? Here’s a thought. “On a deeper level you are already complete. When you realize that, there is a playful, joyous energy behind what you do.”. Eckhart Tolle.
I do like the quote. I am glad to be the lucky recipient. Unfortunately, anxiety got me down and so I have not been here so long,
Sorry to hear about the anxiety – anything we can do to help?
Not a thing I am doing my best to help myself. I am taking Valerian root drops three times a day and the situation seems to be decreasing so I think this will go away soon. I just hate it when it happens because it feels worth when I am alone.
This is a great quiz as always. Today I have all the correct answers.
Well, good for you and thank you for taking the quiz,
Great quiz, love the Mark Twain museum, wow!
Thank you, Carol. Yes, I certainly would love to visit the Mark Twain museum,
i love the quiz as always – Hartford is an interesting place. It is on my future weekend trip list!
I have been many times to Bridgeport and to Trumbull but never got to Hartford. Doc.
it is a fun city overall, lots to see and do. we were there for a street fair (sometime in the summer I don’t recall) lots of fun!
You got 4 out of 8 right!
Not bad at all and thank you for taking the quiz,
