Game: This or That

Necessarily both

Favorite cartoons: Snoopy, Garfield or other?

Those two and so many others: Dilbert (R.I.P. Scott Adams), Calvin and Hobbs, Pickles, ...

Sweet pickles, cucumbers, dill pickles, or November ?

Cucumbers as salad or sandwich.

tomato soup, salad or drink or Rotten Tomatoes?

I like the service that Rotten Tomatoes gives, but sometimes question the bias that pervades it. Tomato soup is ok, but prefer a cream of chicken soup or creamy veggie soups. Salad is a definite favorite with Ranch dressing and garlic flavored croutons. Drinks: Sparkling apple/pear based drinks, Peppermint tea (hot or cold), lemonade, and water :)

Waterfalls, waterspouts, water clocks, or Big Ben ?

All of them. Have a picture of Big Ben totaly made of small clock pieces.
Insects:fireflies, bees or Praying mantis?

Would love to see fireflies !, Bees and Mantids :)

Porcupine, Echidna, Sea Urchins, or Sea slugs/Nudibranchs ?

Love porcupines! See my avatar.

Ocelots, oxen or onomatopeias?

Oxen

Mats and rugs on the floor or bare floor?

:) Ocelots (gotta love the kitties :) ), and onomatopoeias... I need to use them more with my poetry :)
Mats and rugs on the bare floor.

Going to the dentist or waiting hours to get a customer service agent at the end of a phone query ?

Some mats. no rugs at present.

None!

Seeing a doctor in the hospital when you are ill or talking to him through the phone?

My cell service is unreliable, so direct visits.

Cello, mellotron, automatons, or Yahtzee ?

Cello music.

Tom cats, tomboys, tulips, turtles or spinach?

Tom cats, tulips, and I love spinach :)

Naps, caps, rap music, or capes ?

Naps, naps, caps and rap music.

mountains, milk, monke or kites?

mountains and kites

Pancakes, waffles, Eggos, or Legos ?

Pancakes and waffles. Don't dislike Legos either!

Rhymes, rings, rarities or skunks?

Rhymes, rarities, and oddly skunks :)

Poetic devices: onomatopoeia, rhyme, alliteration, or other?

Love poetic devices ingeniously applied but prefer to write verses without rhymes because of the freedom it confers.
Same question?

I love incorporating poetic devices into my poetry. Rhyme for rhyme's sake is something that I struggle with preferring internal rhymes unless playing with certain poetic forms - sonnets for example. Poetic forms are a constraint I like to wrestle with... these last few years I have employed an 'acrostic Golden shovel' poem form, which I find very mischievous, as in a very recent poem :)

Choose a color/colour that best suits you: Reds, blues, greens, other ?

Blue.
Choose a bird:
Parrot, pigeon, robin or other.

Parrot... they're hysterical :)

Quick snack: Banana, string cheese, popcorn, potato chips, other ?

Dry bananas, cheese,cheese balls: https://braziliankitchenabroad.com/b...-cheese-bread/

Books: hard cover, soft cover or e-books?

I love dried banana chips... need to buy some in bulk. Mmmm... The recipe sounds absolutely delicious :) Tapioca flour, I had no idea.

Prefer hard cover. My last 2-books where 50-50: 1-hard cover "The Poetry of Emily Dickinson"/Arcturus Publishing a Christmas gift from my Grandson's family - inspired by his wife who has taken a recent poetry class in college and knows my preferences, and one soft covered "Selected Masterpieces of Polish Poetry"/translated by Jarek Zawadski given to me by a sister from church a few weeks ago... both on this desk with another poetry book, by my friend Stephen Meadows (soft cover), "Winter Work" :) :) :)

Same question re: your last 2-3 selections ?

Tapioca flour is much used for tapioca pancakes. One makes them in 3 minutes without fat and fils them with whatever one wants because the taste is neutral.

I don't have my library any more, because of a mites plague.
One of the last books I got were some copies of Kafka's America, which I translated, in a nice blue hard cover. Also the only book I bought, the most recent poems collection by Adélia Prado, "O Jardim das Oliveiras"(The Olive Garden).It's a soft cover, but not as soft as the pocket books. I don’t know how to post images on Litnet or I would post the two covers.
Electronic devices: Alexa, Smart TV or Smart Watch?

Prefer Alexa smart speakers... I have the Fire TV, and a smart watch (not so smart). My phone has a hands free version of Google Assistant where "Ok Google" allows simple queries, timers, and alarms; it also has a hands on version of Alexa which can access my smart speakers, smart plugs (lights) and simple queries.

Southern Hemisphere Capitals: Caracas, Bogota, Brasilia, or Lima (or other) ?

Sounds a bit complicated so many devices. My TV is still the old punchy turbo model. I feel it strains the eyes less than the LED models.

I know only Brasília and Buenos Aires and I like both.

Favorite state: California, Nevada, Montana or other?

California

Desk accessory most used: White Out, stapler, paperclips, envelope opener, other ?

Stapler and paper clips. l had an envelope opener inherited from my father in the format of a dagger. But one doesn't get envelopes anymore. People use almost only internet communication and the Brazilian post is gone .bankrupt.

Preferred forms of comunication: phone, e-mail, SMS, WhatsApp, other?

I too have a dagger type letter opener, from my Mother, that I should find for the few bills that still get mailed to me.

Text... I hate phone calls, which is only exasperated by my spotty cell service.

Pastels or vibrant colors/colours ?

Vibrant colors! Although since I got old I wear more discreet colors.

Wall colors:all walls the same color or different colored walls in the same room?

Same in the same room

Goblins, giants, or Sorcers ?

giants

Would you rather live on a canal boat or in an RV for the rest of your life?

In a canal boat.What is RV?

Linux or Ubuntu?

Canal boat on the Seine :)
Not into the Linux universe... I tried it eons ago... reminded me of CP/M.

Supplements: C, D, B, or other ?

At present fibers. What are C, D and B?

Vitamins: C, A, B or none?

?

All three and more.

Online book formats: .pdf, EPUB, .doc/.docx, or other ?

kindle

Do you read the Foreword and preface or got straight to chapter 1?

Epub. It's much lighter than pdf and the books look like paper ones.
I usually read first the main text. When I like it, I read the other texts.

Films or Plays?

I read the foreword and preface and back cover first.

The number of times you've read your favorite book: 1-3, 4-6, 7-n ?
