Fun question! If you were stranded on an island and were only given three songs that you could listen to while waiting to be rescued (or not rescued 👀), which three would you pick? MY ANSWER: "Dusty Bibles" by Josiah Queen, "Can't Steal My Joy" by Josiah Queen, and "The Truth" by Megan Woods"...what about you?!

In My Mind by Lyn Lapid, Send my Love by Adele, and The Feast Meant for Everyone by Tom Booth and Sarah Hart.

Thank you! Unfortunately couldn't fit a Marino or BoyWithUke song

"Wave" by Janet Evra, "Blackened" by Metallica, and "Known You Always" by The Fray. Jazz, thrash and pop rock. Variety makes for more entertainment.

Metallica is really good! Do you like Master of Puppets?

Good thinking! Variety would definitely help if you're stranded!

Wait that’s actually such a great idea!!

Hey y'all! Hope everyone is doing amazing! I just wanted to let y'all in on a few (quirky) food combos! 1. ketchup and eggs (scrambled, hard-boiled, fried, you name it) 2. grapes and cucumbers (especially, if the grapes are super sweet, the cucs really balance it out!) 3. Peanut butter and honey (or maple syrup) 4. This last one is kinda wild and unheard of, but my mom introduced me to it, and I didn't hate it: a PB&J fried egg sandwich (I guess eggs are very versatile) I let my friends try it and they hated it, haha. Oh well, there's a first for everything:)

I want to add on to your list!! Ice cream and French fries is one of my favorite "quirky" combos!!!

Ooo, yes! That's another really good combo!

Hey, it's been a while! How's school going for everyone? Not sure if there are still some people enjoying their summer break, because I know a lot of schools start in September (I started mid-August lol).. I hope everyone is doing well!

I love 5th grade way more than last year! Although it's my last year in elementary, which is not the best fulfillment. Plus, my teachers are giving a lot more homework than in 4th grade

I may be homeschooled, but I know I can say one thing. Wait for middle school. There will be more.

Pretty good for me, I suppose! Middle school is actually pretty fun

Pretty great! Although Spanish is a bit hard at times, it’s honestly kind of fun :D I started mid-August too!

I'm loving the structure of my freshman year. Studying is something I'll definitely have to grow accustomed to, but I love being an ROTC cadet, and am making good grades.

Oh, you're not how old I thought you were, lol. I am very glad that you are getting good grades, and I'm very sure that it'll stay that way. Are you going into the Airforce after this, judging from your username? I have a lot of military veterans in my family, so people in the military/going into the military have a special place in my heart. Gotta remember to listen though, lol.

No, I'm planning on Marines. I'm in Texas, though, not Kentucky. I am in an AFJROTC unit at my high school, so I do know more about the Air Force than the other branches. I am planning to read up on everything before I commission so I don't have regrets.

Oh, you're in Texas! That's a very good idea to read about it, yes. What's making you choose marines?

Not awful, which is a start. I have a load of exams coming up, so I'm trying to study for them. Keyword "study". School aside, fall is here, and I'm all for it! I do admit, it's kinda cold. My hands feel like ice blocks as I type. Hope you are doing fantastic:)

Good, how about you? I'm taking Spanish this year and absolutely loving it!

Hi I'm new! Can you tell me about this club?

Hiya! So nice to meet you:D @techfashion0315 pretty much explained all there is. Just enjoy each other's company!

Welcome! So you just talk, share updates, give shoutouts, create little quizzes to get to know each other, etc. Just have fun!

OMG, Thank you so much! Shoutout to @doggiechristmas and @ferndeafgal for being so kind!
