Friday’s 5 Flavors are all about comfort or is it? | Filed under General
Welcome to another Friday where we have an opportunity to love, to live, to feel and see all of the gifts that we’ve been given, and to share with the many great people in our lives! Love is not a word that describes my feelings; it is not a technique by which I fulfill my needs; it is not ideal, abstract and pure. It is my correspondence with or in response to someone. Love is me and my actions to others, yes I love life and I love many in my life so just call me Love.
Thank you for the many who visited and took part in the Ms. Vickie’s Wednesday’s Wondering, I enjoyed it and hope each of you did as well. I will be sharing the images that I received over time. Some of you know more about me than you did, maybe more than you wanted but remember this is a place to come, enjoy yourself and forget the problems of the day for a moment. I am allowing you to know me as I peel more of the layers away you will find out, yes I enjoy using inspiration, using humour, teasing and even flirting but I’ll always be a true Southern Belle and I know where to draw the line.
Now for Friday’s 5 Flavors, name your favorite:
1. Soothing sound:
Anything ‘water’ like rain, waves, brooks, or ocean
2. Comfort food:
Chocolate
3. Relaxing music:
Kenny G
4. Gentle voice:
Yours whispering in my ear
5. Calming smell:
Freshly cut grass right before and after a rain
So come set a spell with Ms. Vickie, relax, listen to soothing sound of the rain, enjoy some chocolate but most of all enjoy the friendships that are forming here on Our Porch. Do you have a Friday’s 5 Flavors you would like to share here, if so send them to me at my e-mail address and you will be featured right here on “Our Porch.”

I am not surprised at the relaxing music you chose and I do like to stop and listen to the winds.
You are welcome Bubba and I’ll be checking on you again when I get that little hint all is not right that is what friends are all about. Sending you the best thoughts, and wishes for next week and the test. Remember I’m here if you need a friend to chat with.

Chocolate, my mamma’s cooking.
3. Relaxing music:
Classical music

Jude, my friend and soul sister have you noticed how so far the soothing sound for everyne has to do with nature, and the females want their chocolate and the calminhg smell seems to be nature related as well.
I hope those prying eyes of Bob’s is not paying to much attention or he could use this against his harem.

Interesting questions! Oh - and I wanted to tell you I’ve included your site in my Friday Feature’s segment. Stop by and time to have a gender. Take care, my dear.

Definitely soothing MV.
1. Rain mixed with ocean waves
2. Coffee (it’s food here)
3. Soundtracks
4. Hounds snoring
6. Same as you
TGIF!
Thank you Ben, my little place seems almost complete now that you are a part of us here. I missed you when I left AlwaysVictoria.
Those hounds are so special and yes their snoring would be music to my ears so soothing music it would be—you forgot my beer on your way over.

Hi Vickie.
Soothing sound;
Rain on a tin roof
Comfort food;
Chocolate coated ice-cream
Relaxing music;
Frank Sinatra or Pan flute music
Gentle voice;
Any of my kids saying, G’day Dad
Calming smell;
Fresh mown grass
Fresh baked bread
A fragrant rose
And the beat goes on.
Glad to see you again Peter, you have been missed and I was just about to send a search party out for you. Oh to hear a child saying G’day that would be a gentle soothing voice to me….of course I am fond of the G’day and the accent anyway.

the ocean and the rain on a tin roof

Chocolate anything
3. Relaxing music:
Enya

my mother

Hello Vicki–How nice to see you think of your mom’s voice as the gentle voice. Has it always been that way? Just gives us our chocolate, and all will be well with the world or almost.
Hope you are having a great weekend.

1. Soothing sound:
Without a doubt - the ocean waves, as they rush ashore, relentless, washing up on the beach, then rinsing back, back to regroup and charge again.
2. Comfort food:
Probably popcorn, but any food I see seems to comfort me - for about fifteen minutes. Then I require more comfort.
3. Relaxing music:
I love music, so any beautifully flowing toon will do - guitar, orchestra - it doesn’t matter.
4. Gentle voice:
I sometimes like the even gentler voice of a loving gaze, a quiet smile, a gentle touch, a hand in my hand, a head on my shoulder.
5. Calming smell:
Of all the smells I’ve ever smelled I’ve never smelled a smell the smells like this smell smells - all the smells of loving.
Randy my dear what can I say, feed me a little popcorn and you might catch a loving gaze come your wayand I have a feeling the head on your shoulders just might soon one day lead to the smeels of loving while the music plays in the background.

I need some relaxation… thank you for easing my mind!
1. Soothing sound:
Ocean, river, gentle wind through the trees, soft cricket sounds.
2. Comfort food:
Cheese enchiladas!
3. Relaxing music:
Some of the mellower 70’s/80’s rock.
4. Gentle voice:
Deep, calming voice or one like my mom’s.
5. Calming smell:
Rain from a thunderstorm, lavendar, vanilla, fresh baked bread.
Love & hugs!
Karen–Oh the sounds of nature are so soothing but now cheese enchiladas for that comfort food and where does the sound of the G-Whiz fit here?
February 4th, 2006 at 3:52 pm
1. Soothing sound:
I have to agree with you on the rain, brooks, ocean one.

Salty snacks

“The Breaking of the Fellowship” from Howard Shore from “The Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring” soundtrack.

My nephews when they are playing with their toy trucks, making that truck sound that little boys makes.
5. Calming smell:
Vanilla
Have a great weekend Ms V!
Gary, We are finding out we share a few things in common—that is always nice to know about friends and you are so right about the smell of vanilla being calming. Of course you need that after spending a fun filled time with your nephews.
Enjoy your weekend Gary, have a little fun.:)

1. Soothing sound:
Mountain stream waterfall
2. Comfort food:
Ice Cream
3. Relaxing music:
Native American flute
4. Gentle voice:
Female on the jazz radio station I listen to.
5. Calming smell:
Honeysuckle blooms in the still morning air
GB- I thought that soothing sound was just and you jumped on the harley and cranked it up, right before you headed off for a ride. Oh my ice cream, comfort food yes but you could also use it to lead to a few other things if you wanted to
I thought I had the gentle voice oh wait no that was sexy voice–never mind. The honeysuckles are a smell like few others especially those we have growing around us.
Have a good weekend and take a ride if you get the chance.

Soothing sound: water (rain, a waterfall, a fountain)
Comfort food: CHOCOLATE (a woman’s perogative)
Relaxing music: Spanish guitar, especially Jesse Cook (hubba hubba)
Gentle voice: Michael McDonald’s singing voice has always melted me like buttah, but Curtis’ deep, soothing speaking voice is the ultimate
Calming smell: the forest after a rainfall
Oh Ms. Ellen we have so much in common, in more ways than one. Our man’s voice can do so much for us.
Hope things are going better for you, I have not been very good about getting around and reading as much as I once did but you are never forgotten.
February 4th, 2006 at 8:18 pm
I thought I did this, but that’s what I get for thinkin…
Soothing sound - rain on a hot tin roof
Comfort food - chicken and rice, collard greens, fried cornbread (yeah, I like to eat)
Relaxing music - Balance, music for peace and inspiration (actually I haven’t listened to it yet, but I just know!)
Gentle voice - my dad, and I miss it so much
Calming smell - Old spice….
*HUGS*
Ms. Sally, You have a gentle voice my beautfiul friend and one I could listen to for a very long time. We both do miss our dads, special they were. The sound of rain on a tin roof brings special memories to me —those of my grandmother (dad’s mom)
Hope you are having a special day. Sending you very special hugs.
February 5th, 2006 at 7:27 pm
Rain at night, train sounds too, classical music, chocolate, the smell of clean sheets that have dried outside in the fresh air–these are a few of my calming things.
