True or False...

True. Vandals hit the neighborhood a few years ago and wrote racist graffiti on cars and garage doors, including our RV. Based on video cameras it was narrowed down (though not air-tight proven) to be a teenage boy visiting a nearby family and the son of that family. Fortunately, everyone was able to remove the paint with gasoline and other solvents. Everyone helped everyone else and the crisis was over fairly quickly. The police investigated because it was a hate crime. They spoke to the family that seemed to be responsible. Later that day, a few retired police officers who live in the neighborhood also visited the parents and had a serious conversation with them. The problem has not repeated.

You've had to go to the hospital in an ambulance.
 

Oh dear. So false. I'm really, really not good with body fluids that erupt from the mouth, and so-so with anything below the equator in people over the age of five.

If you were to love a man in uniform, it would likely be a paramedic or fireman rather than a police officer or soldier.
 

False. My husband needs to be chauffeured to the doctor for an epidural in his back, meaning pup-pup and I will be waiting in the car - and it's going to be toasty today. I'll try to find some shade and will turn on the AC as needed.
Doctor doesn't permit people to drive themselves.

Summer fruits at the peak of flavor are becoming available in your area.
 
That's exactly right. I've had 3 cortisone injections in my lower back over the years , and the Docs won't let you not only drive home, but even go home unaccompanied .. . Hope your hubs gets some relief soon... and you don't roast in the car...
True..I suppose..I don't buy many fresh fruits tbh.. I don't eat a lot of fruit except strawberries and bananas.. mostly I buy frozen..

You do your own manicures
 
Thanks for the info and good wishes.

Re manicures - nowadays, yes, I do my own. I had acrylic nails for many years though. Loved the way they looked, hated the hassle of having to get them done every two weeks.

You had acrylic or porcelain nails during some period of your life.
 
True for snipping errant bits, but false for anything approaching a full haircut.

The first time you had your hair cut by a professional you were fairly deep in your teens.
 
Oops...double post ^^^^^

False.. never knowingly had anyone be murdered on a street where I live...

False about the haircut..I was about 12...

You were closest to your paternal grandmother out of all of your grandparents..
 
While teaching? False. Shirts, ties and suits or sport coats w/slacks for the men, dresses or skirts/blouses for the women. I don't even recall whether teachers wore mortar boards and cloaks during our graduation ceremonies. Truth be told, I was so happy to be sprung and eager to hit the post-graduation parties that graduation itself is a complete blur.

With age and experience you came to realize your youthful instincts were correct: The teachers you thought were complete jerks or terribly incompetent were indeed that. Likewise, you had it right with the teachers you thought were highly skilled and caring.
 
Yes all of our teachers except the much younger ones ..( French teacher and Gym)... wore Mortar Boards and cloaks while teaching...

False.. I haven't a clue how my idea of my teachers were true.... most of them were old anyway.. and I moved out of the country when I was 19...but I suspect they were all just as I thought they were , bullies...(except my English teacher who was ironically American from one of the Carolinas, can't remember which)

Did you get punished at senior school.. was corporal punishment part of the regime...
 
False. Corporal punishment was permitted when I was in lower grades (living in NY) but not when I lived in NJ, or at least not in the schools I attended.
I never suffered a school's corporal punishment - can't even imagine it, but I did serve plenty of detention in my last year of HS for ditching school or skipping classes.

The idea of one day maybe having to wear adult diapers is a terribly distressing thought.
 
Not exactly a happy thought, but "distressing" would be an overstatement. There are a lot of worse things I can imagine! :(

You experienced an earthquake yesterday.
 
False, I'm happy to say. I did read that Maryland was experiencing seismic activity. Hoping it's settled down. From what I can tell they were quite small and caused no damage or injuries. No doubt they rattled some nerves though.

Your local stores continue to require masks even though they're no longer government mandated.
