National months and national days get a bit silly, but they’re fun to play around with, and what would we post on IG without them, when we’re out of photos of our cats and breakfasts? With apologies to our friends participating outside the U.S., here are a few things some of us unofficially celebrate nationwide this month.

1. November is National Peanut Butter Lovers Month. Are you a peanut butter lover? What are some ways you enjoy consuming it?
2. November is National Roasting Month. What did you most recently roast, and how did it come out?
3. November is National Gratitude Month, which of course leads to the American Thanksgiving holiday. What are you particularly grateful for this month?
4. November is National Inspirational Role Models month. Who are some of your inspirational role models?
5. November is National Family Stories Month. What’s an oft-told story in your family?

Thanks for participating, and have a lovely, safe weekend!

This week’s questions (and their explanatory introductions) are inspired by this Mental Floss article about words in other languages without English equivalents.

1. Iktsuarpok is Inuit for that feeling of anticipation when you’re waiting for someone to show up at your house and you keep going outside to see if they’re there yet. Who last invoked iktsuarpok in you?
2. Georgians call it shemomedjamo when you’re really full, but your meal is just so delicious, you can’t stop eating it. When did you memorably shemomedjamo?
3. Zhaghzhagh is Persian for the chattering of teeth from the cold or from rage. When were you last so cold (or so enraged) you experienced zhaghzhagh?
4. A bilita mpash in Bantu is the opposite of a nightmare: an amazing dream. Whenever a dream question shows up in memes, half the respondents say they don’t remember their dreams, but here we go anyway. What is one bilita mpash you remember?
5. In Thailand, the feeling you get when you don’t want someone to do something for you because it would be a pain for them is greng-jai. When did you recently resist greng-jai and ask someone anyway?

Thanks for participating, and may your weekend be safe and LAGOM!
