[dicksbro]

True . Quiet nights and even mornings would be nice especially cuddled up to my other half.

T or F: Cuddling up to your SO is always a pleasure.

[gekkogecko]

True.

T or F: Physical health issues prevent you from doing the above as often as you'd like.

[dicksbro]

F - more a case of too many things going on in our lives to give us the time we'd like to have. :(

T or F: You've taken one or more river cruises on an old-fashioned riverboat.

[gekkogecko]

False.

T or F: you've ridden in an open-cockpit biplane.

[dicksbro]

T or F: You've descended into a salt mine.

[gekkogecko]

False, although contrary to rumor, I've heard they're rather dry and pleasant to work in.

[dicksbro]

[gekkogecko]

False. No realneed or opportunity.

T or F: You anticipate need to mow the lawn at least two more times this season.

[dicksbro]

T or F: You enjoy a good night out every once in awhile.

T or F: You keep a small collection of wine for quiet dinners or surprise guests.

[gekkogecko]

False, people here allergic to that stuff.

T or F: The streets in your neighborhood are exceptionally dirty right now.

[dicksbro]

F … at least not "exceptionally."

Lines designated driving lanes, crosswalks and parking spaces are freshly painted and that makes things look pretty nice overall. Only where there's construction does it look a little messy. :shrug:

T or F: You haven't had to wear a jacket yet this fall.

[gekkogecko]

True, I suppose...though I wonder which definition of fall you're using.

T or F:
You find news commentary comedy reporting more accurate than standard 'news" shows.

T or F: You is plum tired of the campaigning and constant requests for money. :(

T or F: Dutch Apple Pie is your favorite pie.

[gekkogecko]

[gekkogecko]

False, no real interest.

T or F:
You've already upgraded tot he latest in "smart" technology (phone, watch, etc)

[dicksbro]

F … when my last phone got lost … I decided not to renew and there's been a lot more peace and quiet. :D

T or F: You're recently went to the movies.

[gekkogecko]

T or F: You need a haircut.

[kleclere]

True thinking sometime this week.


T or F: You enjoy watching documentaries.

[dicksbro]

Depends on the topic, but generally yes I do. :)

T or F: You've got work to do on your home before the colder weather sets in.

[gekkogecko]

True. I do wonder if it will get done.

T or F:
You've had much trouble sleeping lately.

[kleclere]

True but only when the air goes out.


T or F: You have big plans for the weekend.

[gekkogecko]

False, I need to do a whole bunch of tedious things instead of any big thing.

T or F: There's no rest for the (you) weary.

[dicksbro]

T even if you were hoping Kleclere would be the respondee. Seems like I've got more to do than ever and time to do it is scarce. Frustrating. :( Getting older doesn't help. :(

[kleclere]

T or F: you are feeling old today.

[gekkogecko]

False, I just feel busy.

T or F:
You are undecided about a Halloween costume this year.

[dicksbro]

F … haven't even thought about it although we'll probably just be home that evening. Too early to tell.

T or F: You still have chores to do around the yard.

[gekkogecko]

True, leaves are starting for fall off the trees.

T or F: You're listening to music while perving Pixie's.

[dicksbro]

F right now. Have on "Murder She Wrote" on cable

T or F: You have a package on order.

[gekkogecko]

False.

T or F:
You may be a fruit fly. You like bananas.

[dicksbro]

T … at least the part about liking bananas. Maybe I was a Minion.

T or F: Winter is coming on too fast.

[gekkogecko]

False, summer won't let go around here.

T or F:
You have the rest of the month planned out already.

[Goofy]

False - I's got sum of it by golly, but taint got all by no means. Nope. Shore do not.

True or false - Yuz still ride a bike now and den.

[dicksbro]

I did until mine wore out a few years ago and I've never replaced it. Actually, I think I have once or twice since then on my son's bike. So I guess that's a weak true.

T or F: You have a busy schedule for the next few weeks.

[gekkogecko]

So freakin' true.

T or F:
you have a lot fo things distracting you from all the other things.

[dicksbro]

True. Very true.

T or F: You like to get out into nature whenever you can.

[gekkogecko]

True, but the 'whenever I can" becomes increasingly rare.

T or F: You've never learned to handle a sail boat.

[dicksbro]

True. My wife and I did take a very small one out and did pretty well with it (nothing fancy … but we did make it out and back again :) ), but never really had any formal training.

T or F: You've finished up all your fall outside work.

[Goofy]

Heck no. I usually wait till all me leaves be down fer I collect 'em.

Be it true er false: You be a big Mickey fan I betcha.

[gekkogecko]

Not so much, I'm rather "Meh".

T or F:
You live near a (local, state, or regional) park.

[dicksbro]

True … several as a matter-of-fact. Jubilee State Park just west of Peoria; McNaughten park near Pekin Illinois … a city park of maybe 2,000 acres … and within an hours drive south the 16,000 acre Panther Creek State Park. and several others not too far from us, but those are the big attractions. About 2 hours from us is one of our favorites, the Robert Allerton Park … a 50-room mansion sitting on a 5,000 acre estate donated to the University of Illinois by Robert Allerton whose father used to own the Chicago Stock Yards during the Civil War and several hundred thousand acres between Ohio and Illinois. His son's home was where he managed a lot of Illinois and Indiana land.

T or F: You enjoy stopping every now an then at markers posted along highways for things of interest (often local).

[gekkogecko]

True, although I don't often get the opportunity to do so, I tend to enjoy it when I can.

T or F:
You enjoy "adult" coloring books every now & then.

[dicksbro]

F … I've seen a couple of "adult coloring pages" on the internet but haven't one anything with them.

T or F: You're ready to skip winter and go straight to spring.

[gekkogecko]

False. I like having a 4-season year.

T or F:
You're tempted to completely skip any and all gift-giving events for the remainder of the year.

[dicksbro]

Tempting, but, it probably won't happen. Especially, Christmas. Although the past few years (the kids are grown now), the number of gifts has gone down and they tend to be more practical than the "toys of old."

T or F: You're expecting a warmer than usual winter.

[Goofy]

T (I guess). Last couple years seem to suggest that. Kinda hope so, I don't do so very well in da' reel cold stuff.

T or F: You been to Disneyland or Disney World.

[gekkogecko]

True.

T or F: You've seen snowflakes in your area already this season.

[PantyFanatic]

Only snow FLAKES so far but have been told the next couple days will give us our first few inches for the season.

T or F: Like Goofy and me, you don't look forward to winter as you once did.

[dicksbro]

TRUE

I think my disenchantment with snow began either when I started to drive or when I first shoveled the drive. :D Now if I could just sit in the house and watch the flakes come down with no need to go anywhere, my answer could be different. But, that's not likely and so SNOW SNOW GO AWAY COME AGAIN SOME OTHER DAY AND SOMEWHERE ELSE FAR AWAY :D

Hopefully, todays won't amount to much.

[gekkogecko]

Hm, I'm going to interpret that as a T or F question, "Do you know people you hope, like the snow we're going to get, won't amount to much?"

True-though I won't name names.

T or F: You have too much laundry piled up, and are barely keeping up with the demand.

[dicksbro]

True. Gotta get busy and clean up (pun intended) the surplus. :)

T or F: You're hoping for a warm up in the weather soon.

[gekkogecko]

False. I'm pretty much indifferent.

[PantyFanatic]

And I'll take that as a T or F question. :rofl:

I pasted 'indifferent' a while back. It seems to be connected to longevity. I've gone from looking forward to the crisp-clean winter to play in :xmas:, to it's OK :), to indifference :rolleyes:, to not so soon or so much :mad:, to enough of that crap :rant:.

T or F: You are about to polish off the last of the Halloween candy.

[dicksbro]

And I'll take that as a T or F question. :rofl:

I pasted 'indifferent' a while back. It seems to be connected to longevity. I've gone from looking forward to the crisp-clean winter to play in :xmas:, to it's OK :), to indifference :rolleyes:, to not so soon or so much :mad:, to enough of that crap :rant:.

Ah, a short summary of LIFE. Well put, PF, well put. :boink:

T or F: You are about to polish off the last of the Halloween candy.

False … already completed that task. It was a tough job, but somebody had to do it. :)

T or F: You're looking forward to seeing family at Thanksgiving.

[gekkogecko]

False. Most of the family that hasn't died off yet are whack jobs, and not in the happyfun way.

T or F: You rely on the services of a recent immigrant in some direct way.

[dicksbro]

T … now sure if I rely on him for services, but he has certainly proven to be a good friend and his family is top notch. :thumbs:

T or F: You're tired of all the political crap going on and the divisions it's caused.

[PantyFanatic]

True.
I'm passed tired and pasted pissed at ALL of them. I'm somewhere I never believed I could be. :boohoo: Ashamed of my government, NOT my country!

T or F: You also think the weather people over-did the end of the world forecast for our first winter shot.

[gekkogecko]

Probably true, but as I paid little attention to the alarmist crap, I missed most of it.

T or F:
You find REM, Eeyore, and Nostradamas to be incurable optimists.

[Goofy]

I dunno but yuz a pretty sharp fella so I say gotta be true. Shore hope I was rite.

T or F: I was yuz favorite Disney character.

[gekkogecko]

False. Better'n Mickey Mouse, but I never really had a favorite Disney character.


T or F:
You like late November, because the grocery stores start stocking Egg Nog.

[Goofy]

T I reckon. Usually only have a cup or two, but it shore do taste gud.

T or F: Yer gonna see da new Star Wars pixer show.

[dicksbro]

T … at least we expect to. Probably will. I think we've seen all the Star Wars movies up until now.

T or F: You like to watch the history channel on cable.

[gekkogecko]

False...don't have cable.

T or F: You enjoy Altoids mints.

[dicksbro]

T … they are refreshing.

T or F: You wonder what ever happened to some of those that used to be regulars at Pixies. :(

[PantyFanatic]

True :o Starting with myself. Personally, Pixies has been a very real and important part of my life and still is in spit of my lack of posting the last few months. I will often peek in, read the few faithful post, not adding anything except the additional low posting status. Kind of a self perpetuating syndrome. :spin: I can honestly say I have no days that someone of the people I've actually met and many I've only come to know on line here are not real thoughts in my mind. Things are changing for me right now but have often over the past eighteen years since I found my home here at Pixies. I hope some of the other Pixies regulars come back and become more active also.
(I bet that was WAY more than you wanted in this thread :roflmao:


T or F: Do you recall when you would find three pages of new posts every day? :D

[dicksbro]

True. I do remember those days. Used to be a wild place … sometimes almost too much … could hardly get a post in on some threads.

T or F: You still love Pixies-Place but wish more would post.

[gekkogecko]

True, almost axiomatic.

T or F:
There's some 'winter' activity you've always wanted to do, but still haven't.

[dicksbro]

True. I've often thought it'd be fun to visit a ski resort in Colorado or someplace … not to go skiing but to enjoy the winter scenery, take some pictures, and be with my wife on a nice get-a-way.

T or F: You've never had rabbit stew.

[gekkogecko]

I honestly can't remember. Knee-jerk says true, but the back of my mind says maybe with some Chinese friends for New Year.

T or F:
You house needs specialized lighting somewhere, other than for holidays.

[PantyFanatic]

False~ A major advantage of down-scaling five years ago gave me the VERY non-regretted chance to install all LED everywhere except the attached garage where I installed 8' fluorescents. Even have a couple outdoor solar night lights.

T or F:
You decorate outside extensively for the Holidays.

[dicksbro]

False. I used to (depending on how you define extensively) but haven't for the past few years. I got one of those "projection" lights and use it now. Not bad, but not as festive as it used to look.

T or F: You love Pekin Duck?

[gekkogecko]

Hm, not where to stand on this one.
I certainly like it, don't turn it down when its offered. But I usually go for more spicy foods.

T or F:
The change of seasons presents no problems for you personally.

[dicksbro]

T (so far). Only heavy snows, bitter sub-zero temps, icy roads and sidewalks turn me off anymore. Haven't had more than teasing samples of the snow and a few times temps in the teens. So far, so good.

T or F: You're hoping for an early spring. :wish:

[gekkogecko]

False, I think an 'early' spring is only going to be one more sign of anthropogenic global warming.

T or F:
You have recently and unexpected run out of some paper product in your house.

[dicksbro]

Almost true. Happened to notice the bathroom tissue was getting low, so got some yesterday. Not a good thing to run out of.

T or F: You love to hunt deer when it's in season.

[gekkogecko]

False, never had the opportunity.

T or F: Despite owning several flashlights, they're never where you need them, when you need them.

[dicksbro]

True - that does seem to be the case more often than not.

T or F: A watched pot …


… can give you a migraine.

[gekkogecko]

False.

Though in my experience, a watched pot never boils.
I don't work in an iron foundry.

T or F:
Your time clock hours frequently don't match your payroll hours.

[dicksbro]

False … not since I retired anyway.

T or F: You're ready for spring already.

[gekkogecko]

False, too busy with lots of winter stuff to pay attention to spring yet.

T or F: Your living space is being overrun by empty delivery boxes.

[Goofy]

T or kinda seems dat's da case sumtimes.

T or F: Yer a hopin' fer a white Christmas dis year.

[gekkogecko]

False. I'm utterly indifferent.

T or F: You keep breaking and having to replace your hot beverage travel mugs.

[dicksbro]

False, but sure as I say that … :(

T or F: The Ravens will go all the way this year!

[gekkogecko]

Most likely true.

T or F:
You like hanging onto obsolete technology.

[PantyFanatic]

True. :o As long as it still does the task intended in an acceptable way. In a manner we all have to. In today's world, as soon as we get technology it is obsolete.

( I was told "Do not be the first into a new technology NOR the last to leave". )


T or F: You find it hard to believe Christmas is just two weeks away.

[dicksbro]

True … very true. Seems like every year the distance between Thanksgiving and Christmas shrinks. Except at the stores. They start Christmas right after Easter. :yikes:

T or F: You wish the world could return to simpler times.

[gekkogecko]

True. The world was all so much simpler when we were all just single cells, and we could reproduce by fissioning, rather than all this messy (and chancy) sex to worry about.

T or F:
You find weather that other people find inclement, rather pleasant.

[dicksbro]

Hmmm … going to say false … but it's a bit iffy. Sometimes I may say something like it's not too bad or sounds pretty good when, in fact, that's just relative to maybe a bitter cold snap just the day or days before.

T or F: You've leared to like the "O" colas rather than Diet or Regular.

[gekkogecko]

False, not big on colas in the first place.

T or F: You haven't taken a long-distance railroad trip in years.

[Goofy]

True. Ain't done one of dem fer a years and years. Be a fun thing to do I's think .

T or F: Yer havin' company at yer place dis Christmas I'm a thinkin.

[gekkogecko]

True. Not necessarily looking forward to it, but yes.

T or F:
You have a work issue to resolve that was caused by idiot cow-orkers.

[dicksbro]

F - although if I were still working … could be those COW-orkers would have caused issues. ;)

T or F: You're looking forward to Christmas with anxious anticipation.

[gekkogecko]

False, it's usually more of a hassle than a joy.

T or F:
You would rather spend a vacation somewhere with a better climate than you home.

[dicksbro]

Gotta admit with the colder weather and snow … it gets tempting to think of warmer spots to get through the winter months.

T or F: You've bought yourself a new warm winter coat for this winter.

[gekkogecko]

False, the old is still quite serviceable.

T or F: You need to buy at least one piece of new furniture.

[dicksbro]

T … our couch is in need of replacement.

T or F: You're pinning your NFL hopes on the Ravens! :)

[gekkogecko]

False, I'm so meh on American football these days.

T or F:
What a long strange trip it's been.

[PantyFanatic]

True, so very true. ;)


T or F?
Your station is coming into view. :rofl:

[gekkogecko]

False. I think the light at the end of the tunnel is an oncoming train.

T or F:
You haven't been 'eating right' in the past couple of weeks.

[dicksbro]

F … although the day before yesterday when I had a very upset stomach I didn't eat much of anything. Little chicken noodle soup was about all I could handle.

T or F: You'll be staying home for Christmas.

[gekkogecko]

True: other people are coming to us.

T or F:
You're excited abotu recent...political developments.

[PantyFanatic]

True if you find shame and disgust as 'exciting'. :banghead:



T or F:
You never thought you would live long enough to see the end of our government as we were taught.

[gekkogecko]

Unsure how to answer that...I have always been cynical enough to realize that, even as I was being taught "how our government works" is not the way it has ever worked.


T or F:
Today has been a brightly sunny day for you.

[dicksbro]

It was (Fri). And, while not warm, it was definitely better than normal for this time of the year. :) Plus, our snow is about gone except in areas that stay shaded. They'll be going over the next couple of days.s
T or F: You're hoping for a white Christmas.

[gekkogecko]

False. I am indifferent.

T or F:
Your ability to drive in snow exceeds that of the general population in your area.

[dicksbro]

True … at least I think so. Of course living in Minnesota part of my life gave me lots of practice.

[Goofy]

Hee hee. No T or F for me to answer …

DAT'S True! Hardy Har!

Tru or False: Yer lookin' forward to da New Year I'm guessing.

[dicksbro]

True. Not sure of any plans yet, but I am looking forward to the New Year.

T or F: You've already got your plans made.

[gekkogecko]

False: I have a vague outline, but I might have to change at the last minute.

T or F: You ensured that your s/o got all the things they wanted for christmas.

[dicksbro]

True. At least all I knew of. :)

T or F: You're ready for a new year … with all it's campaign contribution requests and everlasting commercials on TV.

[dicksbro]

Ready or not … IT'S HERE! So, I guess I was ready.

T or F: You're already planning for the next holiday … MLK's Birthday? Easter, maybe?

[gekkogecko]

False, the next thing I'm planning for is the upcoming election.

T or F:
You are already on board with referring to the 2020s as the "Screaming Twenties"

[dicksbro]

Hadn't really thought much about that … at least for now … so I guess that makes my answer false for now. :(

T or F: You're hoping for more time doing things outdoors this coming year.

[gekkogecko]

False, I already know 2020 is going to be an extra-busy year.

T or F:
You've mostly ditched print reference books for on-line material.

[dicksbro]

Kind of False. Especially for subjects I hold a particular interest in it's more like I use both sources … whichever seems most appropriate at the time or both together.

T or F: The new year is tending to be much cooler … okay … colder than the last part of December. At least so far. :(

[gekkogecko]

False, quite the opposite in this area. Though January is supposed to e colder.

T or F: you know at least one person affected by the brushfires in Australia.

[dicksbro]

False … I think. I don't believe Sharni or OldFart are at risk … at least I hope not.

T or F: You've experienced something like the danger of fire threatening you or someone close to you before.

[gekkogecko]

Most likely false, but memory is a little fuzzy.

T or F:
You car needs a repair costing much $$$.

[Goofy]

F … fer now anyhow.

T or F: You already done gone n' seen dat new Star Wars movie.

[gekkogecko]

False. I've been on the fence about it.

T or F: you local weather today is typical for your area and season.

[dicksbro]

True. Darn it. I surely loved the days in the 50s. *sigh*

T or F: You like "hot wings"

[gekkogecko]

True.

T or F: Your favorite fish to eat is tuna.

[dicksbro]

False. I love tuna, but walleye is probably my favorite.

T or F: You have gone skinny-dipping before.

[gekkogecko]

True

T or F:
You doctor says there's a range of vitamin pills you should swallow daily.

[Goofy]

F but I do have meself one each day … one of dem general things.

T or F: Yous goes to da movie shows every now and then.

[gekkogecko]

Hard to answer, depends on your view of "now and then".

T or F:
The winter (or summer, if you're in the southern hemisphere) has already produced some home repair projects that you will be able to do when the weather moderates in the spring/autumn.

[dicksbro]

True. Nothing really major, but some. Biggest one, I think, is removing some overgrown bushes. :(

T or F: You've never taken an ocean cruise.

[gekkogecko]

True.

T or F:
You've never taken all three major modes of long-distance transportation (train, aircraft and motor vehicle) in one day.

[dicksbro]

False … but close. When we went to Japan we took a car to the train station in Minn. and the train then to San Francisco where the next day we left for Japan on a Pan American "Clipper Northwind" flight to Tokyo.

T or F: You've ridden a train within the past year.

[gekkogecko]

True.

T or F:
You have withing the past week, participated in some form of social gathering.

[Goofy]

True. Got together with Mickey, Minnie and Clarabelle just last weekend.

T or F: You be glad when all this dang political stuff gets done.

[gekkogecko]

False, I will be indifferent. Because "when all this dang political stuff gets done" won't be until I'm dead. For me, at least. The dang political stuff will go on for other people.

T or F:
YOu live int he neighborhood of a sports stadium.

[dicksbro]

False in our little tow.

Peoria does have minor league baseball and college level sports.

T or F: You probably watch too much TV each day.

[gekkogecko]

False, I watch very little at all.

T or F:
You have a large and ever-growing collection of beverage mugs.

[dicksbro]

True … well, I guess that depends on what's meant by "large." I've got quite a few coffee cups from our local Pumpkin Festival held each fall; several beer mugs, and other mugs of different kinds.

T or F: You had a flat tire at least once in 2019.

[gekkogecko]

False; not even on my bicycle.

T or F: You can already tell the days are getting longer.

[gekkogecko]

False, so many health issues that I can't keep any sort of regular schedule.

T or F:
Your favorite local restaurant has closed recently.

[dicksbro]

False … for now. Actually, a little "Hot Dog" place that makes some of the best Coney Dogs I've ever had was told that the city wanted to "tear them down" but apparently they've received a delay as the couple that runs the stand has a lease for another 4-years or so and then they planned to retire anyway and the city is backing off for now.

These Coney Dogs are fantastic and the small shop has been in business for years. Our kids who live as far away as Georgia long for visits when they can get an order of these wonderful hot dogs. .

T or F: It's cold today but a warming trend is on the near term horizon.

[gekkogecko]

True, but only warming because it's colder than normal.

T or F:
You currently have an earworm, a song you just can't get unstuck from your head.

[Goofy]

Must be false cuz sumtimes I'll have a song that I think about but usually its not da same each time.

T/F: Today gonna be busier den normal.

[gekkogecko]

True, got extra stuff to do at work, got to visit wife in hospital on the way home, got to try and get ready for tomorrow...

T or F:
You haven't been eating "right" lately.

[dicksbro]

Probably true but I've still managed to get my blood sugar back under control It had gotten too high so I clamped down on my eating habits.

[gekkogecko]

T or F:

You forgot to post a follow-up T or F question.

[dicksbro]

Oops.

T or F: You're ready for spring to get here.

[gekkogecko]

False: I'm just going one day at a time.

T or F:
You have a bit of consumer electronics gear that needs replacing.

[dicksbro]

Probably getting a bit close. My laptop is getting old and one of these days I'll have to think about replacing it. Hopefully, though, it'll hang on for a while.

T or F: You enjoy taking short trips to see local scenery or events.

[gekkogecko]

True.

T or F:
Your household is running out of paper products.

[dicksbro]

False. I think we're in pretty good shape … for now at least. :)

T or F: First nice day you are hoping to get your car washed.

T or F:
You have more work commitments this year, causing you to cut back on your social calendar.

True, but my definition of 'nice' may not be your definition of 'nice'.

[gekkogecko]

T or F:
You've never tried to entrap anyone with the slippery banana peel trick.

:)

[gekkogecko]

Unfortunately, true. I hate that shit.

T or F:
People panicking over COVID-19 are causing you trouble, personally.

[dicksbro]

False. Haven't seen what I would call "panic" yet. Most people seem to be accepting that the odds are presently low and that "Flu" is a bigger threat (although no panic over that, either). Could change, I suppose, but I don't see much chance right now.

T or F: Things are going pretty well for you right now.

[gekkogecko]

Mostly true. Got most of the problems with recalcitrant machinery worked out.

T or F:
Someone withing hearing distance is audibly upset right now.

[dicksbro]

False. I think everyone's asleep but me and I'm not upset about anything right now. :)

[gekkogecko]

T or F:

You regularly suffer from other peoples' TMSS (too much stupid stuff).

[dicksbro]

Yeah … at least to a degree. Especially spam in emails that generally is pretty dumb. (Ads)

T or F: You've had a lot of rain recently. (We have had 3+ inches in the last few days)

[gekkogecko]

True, and continued true for today-see my weather report.

T or F:
you have a bunch of scrap paper that you haven't yet recycled.

[dicksbro]

True. :( Gotta get busy and clean that out.

T or F: With COVID-19, we should have lots of time but somehow it's all getting filled in.

[Goofy]

Dats true, db. Does seems like even wid da stay home stuff, ders not enough time to gets stuff done.

T or F: Stuff ain't goin too bad even wid did COVID stuff goin' on.

[gekkogecko]

True for me, the only down parts are I have to work from home (office is actually a better work environment, oddly enough), and worse, I got my hours cut in half.

On the up side, I do still have ajob, and I dont' have to deal with the four-hours a day commute, and I can get needed things by deliverysince I live in the 'burbs.

T or F: You've had enough rain in your area lately that you're under a flood warning.

[dicksbro]

The area has been and they've issued a flood warning for our town but so far we're okay.

[gekkogecko]

True or False: The weather in your area has been significantly cooler than it should be for your location/time of year.

[dicksbro]

Been a bit eratic, that's for sure. Nice temperature-wise yesterday but windy that kept it feeling a bit cool. This early morning it the upper 30s but with a high in the mid-50s. Then, by next weekend, they're predicting us to be back in the 70s. Haven't really seen a graph on how we're doing compared to historical trends, but either about even or a little below wouldn't surprise me. So I guess the best answer is … I dunno.

T or F: You remember the day you met your spouse if you're married.

[gekkogecko]

True, although said spouse remembers the second time we met as the first...odd that.

T or F:
You own a small collection of specifically-themed beverage mugs.

[dicksbro]

True. Over the past few years I've been collecting coffee mugs from our local "Pumpkin Festival" held in the fall.

T or F: You've got special plans for Mother's Day.

[gekkogecko]

True, but they don't involve anything having to do with motherhood. Other than making my wife breakfast this morning.

T or f:
The weather in your locality has been unseasonal: either way hotter or way colder than usual.

[dicksbro]

True or at least it seems that way. The temperatures up and down swings; the rain (probably not unseasonable) and the winds (my wife has commented that the last several years seem to have stronger winds that we remember from our youth. I kind of think so too.

T or F: You sill once in a while fly kites?

[gekkogecko]

False, that sort of activity does a nasty number on my back.

T or F:
Looking out y our window, you can see several different kinds of trees, but you can't tell which one is which.

[dicksbro]

False. It's pretty dark right now. When it gets light, then I could.

T or F: You area is seeing a moderation in the number of COVID-19 cases recently.

[gekkogecko]

Both true and false. The actual number of cases doesn't seem to be moderating, but the number of hospitalizations and deaths certainly has.

T or F:
Ug. Too long of an interruption tht I forgot the T/F dilemma I was going to post.
Um, maybe I'll ocme back to thsi later.

[dicksbro]

False, I hadn't forgot because I hadn't thought about it until now. :shrug:

T or F: You and your spouse or SO have made good use of the time you've had together since COVID-19 has kept us home more.

[gekkogecko]

True, but I am seriously missing time with my partners, other than my nesting partner.

T or F:
You are still relying on delivery mostly to get your necessities.

[dicksbro]

False - we have used some deliveries, but we've also gone shopping during "senior hours" especially since facemasks are required for most of the stores that are open. And, our town hasn't yet had any COVID-19 cases confirmed. Knock on wood.

[Goofy]

Didn't give me no T or F thingy fer me to answer so I use da same as yuz db. Wez gone shoppin' sum with doz masks n' all. Asked one of dem checkout people how day cud tell who da bank robbin' folks were since everybody got demselvs masks. She laughed and says dat up above her pay level.

T or F: Yuz put on gloves n' mask if you shop?

[dicksbro]

Sometimes true, Goofy. Always put on the mask but not always the gloves. I do wash my hands a bunch during the day, though. Probably one symptom of COVID-19 should be dishpan hands. :shrug:

Anywhow, you still on, Goofy?

T or F: You love being outdoors.

[gekkogecko]

True for the most part. Often couldn't apply it, even before the pandemic.

T or F:
When driving through "fallen rock zones" you don't worry about the past tense...

[dicksbro]

True. I don't usually worry about it … although a couple of times I can remember, there were rocks that had "recently fallen" and were still by the side of the road. Probably sped up a bit to get past them. :)
