I do (or don't). Do you?

[StarSong]

I did not. Trashed it shortly after the wedding. The bottom was dirty and ragged from being dragged all night (despite being bustled up after the ceremony) and a few places had small tears from people stepping on it. It wasn't heirloom quality and I had no interest in paying to clean, repair or buy an heirloom box for it. Or worse, be obligated to drag it around for the rest of my life.
Good thing, too. My daughter and DILs all had their own ideas, and styles changed dramatically during the 30 years between my wedding and the first of my children's wedding days.

Like me, you tend to lean toward practicality rather than sentimentality. (Not dissing sentimentalists, some of my best friends are very sentimental!)

 

[Tish]

I do.

Like me, you update your technology regularly. ( A smart t.v. is the next thing I need to update)

 

[StarSong]

Some tech I do, some I don't bother with. Bose stereo system is at least 20 years old but it suffices. We have a smart TV because DH wanted it. By my reckoning it didn't simplify a thing. He still has four remotes lined up to manage the surround sound, TV, DVD player and cable.

Like me, in case of emergency you own some radios that operate on house current or batteries.

 

[Tish]

I do, and a CB, UHF radios as well.

Like me, you have a power generator.

 

[StarSong]

I do, and a CB, UHF radios as well.

Like me, you have a power generator.

I do, but have no idea if it will still run since it hasn't be run in many years. Might need some tinkering. DH has that on his list for this summer.

Do you maintain a stash of emergency food, water, batteries, etc?

 

[Tish]

I do

Do you buy produce straight from the farmer?

 

[StarSong]

I don't live in a farming community, so no.

Like mine, your preferred local grocers sell gorgeous produce at very reasonable prices.

 

[Tish]

I do

Like me, you need more than 1 coffee in the mornings.

 

[Gemma]

I don't. Just one will do me until evening,

Like me, you consume fruit every day.

 

[StarSong]

I do.

Like me, you like and frequently eat lavash type flatbread.

 

[Tish]

I do

Like me, you are competitive.

 

[StarSong]

I used to be but have found that I'm much happier when intentionally avoiding competitive situations.

Like me, in your life you've dealt with a lot more obnoxious winners than sore losers.

 

[Tish]

Oh Gosh yes.

Like me, you watch /listen to the news every morning

 

[Ruthanne]

I do--but sometimes at noon or at night too.

I vacuum at least once every two weeks do you?

 

[Tish]

I do but more often.

You change your sheets every 3 days

 

[Sunny]

I do not.

Like me, you write for a local newspaper.

 

[Sassycakes]

I Don't

You have a good memory

 

[StarSong]

I seem to.

Like me, you nearly always have potatoes, yellow onions and red onions in your pantry.

 

[Tish]

I do

Like me, you support your local farmers.

 

[StarSong]

I don't have local farmers, but I do buy plenty of produce.

Do you know your blood type? (Mine is either A+ or O+, I forget which...)

 

[Tish]

I do A+

Do you check your own blood pressure?

 

[StarSong]

When I remember to do so. Just checked it. 109/72 which is a little high for me. My BP has always been good.

I sometimes check my blood oxygen level, do you? (A lot of us bought those little oximeter gizmos when the pandemic hit.)

 

[Sunny]

No, I don't have one of those. (Your blood pressure sounds wonderful, StarSong!)

Like me, you enjoy creative writing.

 

[Tish]

I do

Like me, You don't use your microwave often.

 

[StarSong]

I do use my microwave often, almost exclusively for reheating, but also for starting baked potatoes that I finish up in my countertop convection oven.

Like me, you rarely use the broiler feature of your oven. (It's been years for me.)
