1. Small town. Went to school with mostly the same group of kids k -12. A few came n went over the years but small rural redneck schools so everyone went to the same parties..and most groups had a mix...mulitasked rednecks I guess..athletes, nerds, cowboys n girls, some dis fancy horse shies, others strait rodeos, track cheer softball choir, honor roll..
I went to my friends highschool graduation in Gilroy ca..near more city areas and the school kids politics were well defined and it was a culture shock. Her classmates were *******s..

2. Pups, barn cats, 2 aging , a slew of chickens n turkeys and all my trees n bushes that give me delicious fruit for my efforts.
And my lime tree..she's a sweet girl..gives me limes.

3. Back yard for my view n chilling..bed when I'm tired, lazy chair for being lazy..shop for puttering..middle of field when I'm contemplating the universe..

4. Just what I always do..get stuff done n relax

5. Both..I love it all..I just have to control my gluttony

Fun questions..!!

That's why it didn't work out. It was 100% his fault for being named wrong.

No, that wasn't it at all.
I can share a lot of things but my husband isn't one of the things I will share.
My marriage was crowded: me,my husband, and his girlfriend was in it.
Wasn't room for me and our sons.
Hence why I have trust issues.

Android


Two Linux (Mint) computers, a couple Raspberry Pi's running Linux, and two Windows computers.


Tomatoes! Lots of varieties - please don't make me choose!


Three cats, a dog and a Senegal parrot. The parrot is the boss.


Favorite TV show would be Firefly. I really don't watch TV anymore. Favorite radio program is probably Echoes. I used to regularly listen to The Survival Podcast by Jack Spirko, but I haven't in a while. Maybe I'll listen to TSP today while I work.

Great questions!

Almost my bedtime and have been awake since about 2:30 am. When I first read you had two linux, I thought it was the pet question and read it as 2 linx and thought is that legal? - then reread

 

[Amish Heart]

Well they're cats. Kind of.

1. What group of people did you hang out with in High School?

There were 46 people in my graduating class, so we didn't really break into groups or cliques. But I was friends with the computer dorks, being one of them.

2. What living things do you take care of every day?

Myself, my wife, three cats, a dog and a parrot.

3. Where is your favorite spot around your home that you love?

In the living room in front of a fire with the TV off. Unless it's summer, then my favorite place is probably my home office.

4. If you have a day to yourself, by yourself, what are you doing?

Hiking in the woods or walking for miles along the Eerie canal.

5. Do you prefer salty things or sweet things, and what is your favorite?

Savory, so that means salty. Probably smoked ribs or brisket is my favorite.

1. What group of people did you hang out with in High School? Mostly guys who were in my Scout troop (we were no longer Scouts in high school and the guys and gals who were in our high school conservation club). We would get together on many weekend nights at a local park, build a campfire, and sing songs. Most of the songs were by Peter, Paul & Mary, Simon & Garfunkel, Bob Dylan, and other contemporary folk singers. Which one below is me?

2. What living things do you take care of every day? Just each other and birds. We have no pets or livestock. We also sponsor a child in Nicaragua.

3. Where is your favorite spot around your home that you love?
In front of the fireplace on a cold, snowy winter morning.

4. If you have a day to yourself, by yourself, what are you doing?
Depends on the time of year. Warm weather: puttering and maintaining things in the garage. Cold weather: coffee and a good book by the fireplace

5. Do you prefer salty things or sweet things, and what is your favorite?
Salty and sweet together. Favorite is brown sugar smoked salmon.

Just now getting around to answering

1. highschool in Germany is different from here, it starts in 5th grade and ends either in 10th or 13th , depending on what school you go to and what you want to do, so it is not like here, plus everyone in my highschool was pretty much the same ( German, white middle class and smart LOL) so there wasn't any specific groups that hung out, we all got along pretty well. There were around 40 kids in my class, and the classes stay the same until 11th grade when you get to pick certain subjects. I had 3 really good girl friends there, but my best friend went to a different school

2. currently 31 sheep, 42 goats, 4 dogs, around 20 chickens , 1 husband, 1 son ( I feed them LOL), plus gardens in summer but there is not much left

3. my recliner in the livingroom. We have really large windows and a beautiful view

4. I never have any days by myself, but today I am sort of resting from all the activity the last few days and I am sitting here watching Netflix, will take Otto for a hike up the mountain later ( but I really didn't rest all that much, just got done stacking some wood)

5. really both, or combination of both, perfect thing that has both is Korean fried chicken with spicy sauce ( sweet , spicy and salty) or a good cake like blackforest cake

looking at everyone else's answer I guess 5 was junk food , so that would be chips for me

Okay, I know this is early, but otherwise it would be late! I apologize if any of these are repeats. Here we go:
1)What is your personal anthem or quote?
2)What is your favorite memory with your family when you were a child?
3)When was the last time you climbed a tree?
4)Where or what is your personal heaven or place to be?
5) Are you afraid to die?

 

[Pearl]

Great questions Buttercup! Early is ok! 1) Better not answer that one ! 2) Setting up the Christmas tree! That and hanging outside lights with my Dad! 3) I climbed a tree two years ago. Hubby got his saw stuck in another tree close by. I climbed a tree to throw a rope around the one he was felling so he could pull it it down with the old garden tractor. Everything went well except for me trying to climb down! No more tree climbing!! 4) The pool, watching all the critters, and the woods! 5). Not afraid to die, but have no desire to do so!

1. “There is only one tactical principle which is not subject to change. It is to use the means at hand to inflict the maximum amount of wound, death, and destruction on the enemy in the minimum amount of time.” – General George S. Patton Jr.

2. I only remember one Christmas with two parents. The woman who birthed me made a big meal and my pops carried me around the room as she cooked. We opened presents and sang songs then watched a Christmas related movie. I think I was 5 or 6 years old.

3. A few weeks ago. Went on the hike with the lady and was showing off. Only climbed up one branch though.

4. I have no personal heaven, only actual heaven. Unless you mean a female run topless gun store that sells donuts, then that place.

5. I have no fear of death as I am already dead to this world and alive in Christ. I will merely move from this place to another, better place. Although it is possible that death is afraid of me.

1)What is your personal anthem or quote? EMBRACE THE SUCK

2)What is your favorite memory with your family when you were a child? When I was older , helping Dad set up the presents for the younger brothers and sister.

3)When was the last time you climbed a tree? Sometime around 1990

4)Where or what is your personal heaven or place to be? Sitting on the sofa with Lori and the cats, watching a movie and eating popcorn.

5) Are you afraid to die? No, the preparations are done, and when it's my time, I'm ready. Nobody gets out alive

1)What is your personal anthem or quote? I'm not sure.

2)What is your favorite memory with your family when you were a child?
Waking up one morning and one of my uncles was sleeping in my brother's bed. He had gotten out of the army, taken the train to Mobridge, South Dakota. My dad went to pick him up to drive him halfway home. I don't remember how he got the rest of the way home.

I must have been around 10. I always had a tree that I claimed as mine and I climbed it frequently in the summer months.

Home, by myself. Peaceful and quiet.

5) Are you afraid to die?
Nope! I have been waiting for many years to see my mother again.
