Reading at night? morning? can you read in the middle of the day? Average amount of time? what is the most hours? (I struggle with reading in the day, unless i'm by the pool). curious to know
Polishop is actually the name of a Brazilian shop that sells electronics. But according to google it is also a mal that sel0ls all kind of products.
It depends. Usually at night these days when I have finished other tasks. I don't spend much time reading any more. At the most half an hour, than I become tired if the book isn't very enthralling.

Eggs: Sunny side up, poached, 3-minute (boiled), scrambled, 100-year (Century egg)... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Century_egg , or other ?
What a wonderful garden, tailor, thoroughly planned and well kept, with the delicate cherry blossoms. Enjoyed very much
Most kind of eggs, but don'tcare so much for poached.. Not so keen on century eggs either, but it's an interesting method of preservation if there isn't a fridge around.
Potatoes- mashed, cooked,fried, cooked with peel, etc.?
Potatoes of all kinds in moderation... I remember as a child eating them raw. Tater Tots... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tater_tots and Hash Brown potatoes are also a favorite :)
Throwing pots (ceramics), beating a rug, cutting a rug https://www.quora.com/Do-you-know-th...e-cuttin-a-rug, or beating a dead horse (idiom) ?
I love potatoes with butter and I cook them usually without peeling them.
Beating a dead horse .Did you see the last emoji at litnet? None of these. I prefer to let the dogs loose as we say herewhen someone wants to express anger.
Slang or dialect?

Slang or dialect?

Dunno, prolly slang.

Rainbows and black holes.
Berries or burgers or both?

Christmas tree trim: Tinsel, bows, ornaments, fairy lights, or indoor color lights projector ?
Haven't ornamented a Christmas tree for ages. When I was a kid we used to have a real pine Christmas tree with real candles, some ornaments, cho olate ornaments and maybe snow made from cotton flufs. For me this was the only real Christmas tree. Today I think artificial Christmas trees are a solution that avoids the cutting of numerous pine trees just that they may ornament a house for a few days.
Painted Easter eggs or chocolate eggs?
Nor I.
Chocolate Cadbury eggs :)
Holly wreathes, warm hearths, halcyon days, or hackneyed holidays https://www.timeanddate.com/holidays/fun/ ?

Lol! Warm hearts and Monkey Day. Just had halicoon days, so no, thanks

Lol, Tardigrade Day (I had to peek at the list, it could take the place of Go to Work Naked Day), International Talk Like a Pirate Day... and A'phabet Day or No "L" Day (perfect day for writing lipograms https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lipogram amongst other things)
Mardi Gras, Halloween, Christmas, Easter, or Chocolate Cupcake Day ?
Lol! I go with Chocolate Cupcake Day the least important and the most concrete one.
lipograms seem to be the opposite of alliteration.
Christmas fruit: dried figs or dates?
Lipograms are more a challenge of doing without. Here's one I wrote without using the letter 'e' ( after 1- edit where I left one in, lol)
"I forgot my mantra." - from th film Anni Hall (1977) / Lipogram
writing my thoughts down
hours thaw’d slowly day by day
mimicking thick snow
day turns into night
to such things our stars applaud
Scorpio rising
a stygian night
yon mountains shrink into thought
practicing haiku
night into bright day
mankind should not know sorrow
lost in affliction
Find joy, notwithstanding pain
a crowning glory awaits
5/17/2025 r. 6/5/2025
Hmmm... tough choice... going with dates :)
