True or False...

True-ish, plenty of towels and Kleenex, but need to get TP with grocery order before Thanksgiving.

You have received an early holiday present recently.
 

True in the winter, false in summer - new furnace in 2011. I keep the thermostat at 65°F - warm enough for me most times, but my house is COLD in the winter on windy days. I might as not have the windows for all the good they are (double-hung, single-pane). I can see the curtains move when the wind blows. I tried stuffing newspapers between the windows which are about 4 inches apart; didn't make much difference. My house is a Devil's Island sweat box in the summer.

You had a favorite toy as a child.
 
False. I grew up with siblings who were very close in age (three of within a year - including twins) so my youthful entertainment was more about playmates than playthings.

You have toys from your youth (I don't).
 
True, many more than that over the years. Birds, fish, lizards, turtles, dogs, cats, bunnies (outdoor hutch), and probably some others that don't immediately come to mind.

My firm rules for my kids about pets:
1. No invitations would be extended to close relatives of anything I'd paid (or would pay) an exterminator to rid our home of the wild version. Therefore, no mice, rats, hamsters, guinea pigs, etc.
2. No pets that needed live food. Nothing that ate live crickets or goldfish or "feeder mice." Period. No discussion whatsoever.

Did you have rules about acceptable pets?
