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.

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.

True.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

False. I'm pretty much indifferent.

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.

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



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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

False...don't have cable.

T or F: You enjoy Altoids mints.

T … they are refreshing.

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

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

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.

True, almost axiomatic.

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

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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:

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.

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.

False, never had the opportunity.

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

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

T or F: A watched pot …


… can give you a migraine.

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.

False … not since I retired anyway.

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

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.

T or kinda seems dat's da case sumtimes.

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

False. I'm utterly indifferent.

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

False, but sure as I say that … :(

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

Most likely true.

T or F:
You like hanging onto obsolete technology.
