True & False pt. II

[thessarabian]

true

the next person wishes it was fall already

[GreyBeard]

False. I know better than to wish my life away. Time is fleeting enough as it is. But I would welcome some cooler temps.

The next person has kept up with weeding their garden this summer.

[thessarabian]

False- I've given up and decided to just grow weeds.

The next person has come to almost enjoy blackouts because it means no invasion of technology

[GreyBeard]

False. We not only lose invasive technology such as tv and computer, but we also lose useful technology such as running water. I also have about 30 cubic feet of freezer space stuffed with enough foodstuffs to last us a month if we don't make it into town. I hate seeing that go into defrost mode.

The next person maintains a large cache of food in their house.

[ValS]

True! I have been laid up a few times and unable to drive, so I make sure I have plenty of staples, including dry milk (ick) and the stuff needed to make bread. Plenty of canned goods, of course, and a freezer full of frozen vegetables. And don't forget the raisins and prunes!

The next person keeps jugs of water ready, just in case.

[thessarabian]

False- I probably should, but water has a tendency to grow things if you leave it sit for too long, so I prefer to jug water only when a disaster is imminent.

The next person has eaten military rations (the dried/canned/preserved stuff they eat on the battlefield).

[ValS]

False. But I would try it if available. My nephew says it's not that bad.

The next person eats stuff with uncooked eggs in it.

[thessarabian]

False

The next person doesn't eat eggs at all.

[GreyBeard]

False. But I have cut back from three a day to one a day since my cardiologist asked me to reduce my cholesterol.

The next person has no diet restrictions.

[LutherMan]

True
Next person won't post for at least a week...

[thessarabian]

False!

The next person is working on a long term craft or DIY project

[ValS]

True. I started a Beekeeper's Quilt. It is made of small two-sided hexagons knit of fine-weight (sock) yarn which are stuffed with a bit of polyfill. When you have about 350 of them, you tie them together with bits of yarn. It takes good knitters a few years to make all the "hexapuffs," and even then, the blanket is not that big.

The next person's dream house has a pool.

[GreyBeard]

False, Too much maintenance, unless it were long enough for some serious lap swimming.

The next person has a new event on their fall schedule this year.

[thessarabian]

False- the events have stayed the same, only the details have changed.

The next person is in a rut and is itching for a change.

[GreyBeard]

Yes and no. I just found out about another pastor friend who is moving for the second time since I've been here at the back of the north woods. It gets my foot itching a bit, but I have to keep reminding myself that after four moves in seven years prior to settling here 5 1/2 years ago, my family would much prefer that we stay put awhile longer.

The next person uses a wireless mouse.
