11. The first National State lottery in England was drawn in 1569. The first prize was £5,000, and other prizes included tapestries and high-quality linen cloth. How much does it cost to enter where you live (and have you ever bought a ticket)?


In Arizona there a big number of lotto games. Some winnings are In the thousand dollar range and others in the millions. Lotto is $2.00 a ticket. Not to long ago the lotto was in the billion dollar range. An Australian man won it.

Yes, I’ve bought tickets when it goes higher than 50 million dollars. But I’m weird, I only buy one ticket. If I could win I could Do it with only one ticket. So $2.00 a ticket isn’t going to break me. I could use a win. 😁

10. Are you impulsive, or do you take time to make decisions?

I take time for the most part. However, I've felt pressured from time to time about making up my mind. Then I sometimes make a decision that I later regret. I need to make decisions on my own time, not someone else's time. Basically, I need to stand my ground and take the time I need. The only time I'm impulsive is when I'm shopping for baby things. I can't say no to myself. I'm terrible. So I guess I am impulsive. 😁😂🤣

Challenge #5

In your own space, create a list of at least three things you'd love to receive, a wishlist of sorts. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it and include a link to your wishlist if you feel comfortable doing so.

I hate asking for things.

1. Pray for some peace. It's getting uglier in the US.

2. I would love a cool new Sentinel icon. I only have about six total.

3. A little drabble from the Sentinel fandom. I love drabbles.

Have a fabulous Friday.

9. What time do you usually get up and go to bed each day?

I get up between 9:00 and 10:00 a.m. I got to bed between 1:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. I sleep anywhere from five to seven hours. It depends on how I feel. For example, this morning I couldn't calm down, so I was up until almost six. I got up 3 1/2 hours later. Now and then I take a gummy and sleep for 7-9 hours. I just don't want them every night. I'm dying to read if anyone else sleeps as I do.

8. Do you look back on your school days with fondness? What was your favourite subject to learn?

I don't have very many good feelings about school. I had some good teachers but had very few friends. I was so shy. It was really sad. I had things going on in my life that I couldn't get away from. When I met my husband it was like the first person I could ever talk to. I'm very grateful for his help. Because of his guidance, I got some great therapy. I really came out of my shell. I'm glad I met my hubby at school but I was glad to be done with it. Well, this was pretty boring. 😂

I admit I first started watching this series because I loved Phil Coulson in the MCU.

And I admit the first eps of the series are not my favorite because they had too much monster/strange thing of the week spiel but when they hit the Clairvoyant storyline and especially Season 1 Ep 10 "The Bridge" where they started hitting their stride, I started liking the series more. The tie in story to Captain America: The Winter Soldier sealed the deal and I was hooked on the series from there on out.

The very first relationship I loved on the series was the Dad/Daughter relationship between Coulson and (Skye) Daisy because he really was her Dad in every way that counted but blood.

I think towards the end of S1 and into S2 is when I started falling in love with the other characters.

Wow they're so young in the ep I am watching now, especially Fitz!

ETA: I took what I wrote here and expanded on it for my first Fannish 50 entry HERE!

7. In 1803, Henri Herz, an Austrian pianist and composer, was born in Vienna, Austria. Have you ever learned the piano? If not, would you like to?

I took lessons for a year with my brother Dan. After the year he was playing classical music and played the organ at the church on Sundays. I on the other hand could play one piece called the spider dance. Our teacher told my mom I just didn't have it. It took me a year to play one song. Let that sink in. And you would think I would dislike my brother for his talent, but I worshiped him. He was like an angel. He worked with me for a year on singing lessons. He told me my voice was like an angel. I realized that people do certain things well and others not at all. We sang together for the next eight years. Best time of my life. It all started with the piano lessons. Now aren't you glad you read this? 😂😂 oh, I still talk to him once a month for two hours. We're very close. This is a pic of him. He's a religious artist and the stain glasses window behind him is one of the many in his house. His home is gorgeous.

6. In 1709 The Great Frost began during the night, a sudden cold snap that remains Europe's coldest ever winter. What temperature will it reach today where you live?

I wouldn't do well with a cold snap. I'm still wearing short sleeves and flip-flops. The temperature today was 65° F. But we have five days coming up with rain and mid-fifties. That's winter for us. Then it pops to mid 60s. I don't like the rain and the cold. No flip-flops tomorrow. Brrrrr. We need the rain, so I can't complain. (I just did) 😂😂 I'm in Arizona, by the way.

Has anyone seen the movie Rental Family, with Brendan Fraser? It's not streaming until the end of February. No one wants to go with me. (I can't drive) My hubby will go if I talk him into it.

5. Are you looking forward to any TV shows this year?

I'm not aware of any new shows coming out. I look forward to the shows I watched last year. I also hear Rental Family with Brendan Fraser will be released on Hulu and Disney in late February. I'm going to try to be patient.

I don't watch too many newer shows. This is a list of my favorites.

Snowflake Challenge #3

Write a love letter to fandom. It might be to fandom in general, to a particular fandom, favourite character, anything at all.

Dear Jim and Blair,

It has been 28 years since I first discovered fanfic for the Sentinel. No one had to drag me; I jumped in willingly. You both kept me company on nights I couldn't sleep. You made me laugh, made me angry, and made me fall in love with you all over again. Looking back, I wouldn't change a thing. You'll always be my favorites, even when I play in other people's sandboxes. Looking forward to many more years of writing about you.

Love,

PattRose

I can’t believe it’s already the fourth of January.

4. Do you have any travel plans arranged for this year?

We have nothing planned so far. But I need to go see my brothers and my sister in New Mexico, so we’ll probably go in April or May. I didn’t get to see anyone last year because we went to Greece. We sometimes go for no reason to California since it’s only six hours away. We both love it there.

Anyone else have any big plans for travel?

1. What’s the first thing you think of when you consider the year ahead?

A certain person will hopefully be gone and soon. You all know who I'm talking about.

2. What’s the weather like today (warmer or cooler than average)?

It's 69° F. So it's a beautiful January 3rd. This is pretty normal for Arizona.

3. There is a Wolf Moon tonight - it will be the fourth supermoon in a row. Have you seen a supermoon before?

I'm sure I have, but I can't remember for sure. I will check it out tonight.

This is Dakota Rose. She is our 14 1/2 year old Labradoodle. She is such a mama’s girl. But we love her. We used to have another doodle named Lily Rayne. She passed away in early 2025. She was 15.

My favorite dog in fandom would be Diefenbaker from Due South.

Hello, all!

I'm some variant of "Fleet Sparrow" everywhere that I have a username (sites, emails, mobile games, hit lists, wanted posters, etc.), so if you've ever seen that around and wondered if it was me, the answer is yes.

Snowflake is one of those things I've done in some form pretty much every year since I found it.  It's a nice start to the year getting back into fandom.  This is the first year in a while that I don't feel so rushed about it.  RL stuff has eased up to a manageable level and this year's round feels like getting back into the parts of fandom I used to really love.

The main thing I want to get here, I think, is get into the habit of using DW regularly.  This is what I say every year--so, clearly, my track record is Not Great--but this year it feels much more likely to happen.

So, hi, all!  Excited to start 2026.

Hi, I'm PattRose. Ive made some incredible friends on DW and Snowflake Challenge. I always look for new friends. I am 73 years old. I can't believe it either.

This is my third year. I love this community. I always hope to see someone interested in the same fandoms that I write in. Here is a list of my fandoms.

The Sentinel (tv) write and read
Due South (tv) read only
Murder She wrote (tv) read only (thanks to spikedluv)
Almost Human (tv) write and Read
Will Trent (tv) write and read

Something else about me, is I write Children's books. I have four published and working on six more. It's so much fun.

We are in shock. It’s been in low 80’s and high 70’s for almost two months. Yesterday and today is damp and cloudy with 65°F. It’s finally winter. At least it’s not 20° so there is that. Happy New Year to all of you. The snowflake challenge starts tomorrow. I know I’m excited. Hugs!
