Ok, my turn! Blue jean pants or bib overalls?
Blue jeans. I have yet to find a pair of overalls that fit me. I'd pick them if I could
I don't care for either really..
Please elaborate!!
Jeans!! A lot easier when you have to pee!!
Anyone who picks bibs, please be sure to wear a shirt under them!! ( And underwear)!! Thank you!!
I don't like wearing jeans..I keep a pair I got for 25 cents for when I have to pick up haybales..that's it.
I had a pair of jean overalls long ago..they were cute and pretty comphy..but if ya gotta go pee , they are a hassle.
Jean material is heavy, doesn't dry fast if it gets wet , hot in summer n not warm in winter. They are sturdy n last , lots of folks wear them at work but I wear a hiking pant.
I wore a ripstop tactical pant I kept from my uniform I had worn working in the jail untill they wore out. Then I got a lightweight hiking pant for work. Comphy , quick drying, roomy for layers in winter but light weight n cool in summer. They are tuff enough for scrambling about on my machine or lumber and I know if I get caught up in chains hopefully NEVER..I can easily rip them off if I need to unlike jeans..
I never really liked them n only worn them when I was younger because I looked good in my wranglers or 501's..
Now that I'm older I'm more about comfort and staying cool in summer, tee n shorts usually..winter is warm layers n jogging pants or those gym Capri pants.
I've never been much into fashion ..
And teeth

Skip that topic, I like to enjoy my food. I go too deep.
We talk about past Thanksgivings in sharing our memories with a newish son-in-law, discuss food preparations, other family members' recent happenings, dogs, cats, other ideas for future holidays.

Neither one of you will live long enough to learn all of those things.
With celery. I like celery any way shape or form.
My coffee mug says This Could be Beer. My daughter gave it to me. I got some great looks from management when I used it at work.
Then I am coming to your house. I am always the Lone Ranger at family dinners; all of my wife's family. They like to play "Dueling Ailments". Who is in the worst health? Who just got operated on? Who is in the hospital? Mine is worse than yours. It takes all of my will power not to get knee-walkin', commode huggin' drunk.
I will take the 6000 square foot house. I would make it a fortress with a deep larder.
My sister and a previous sister in law would play dueling ailments!
Usually my Mom or I would have enough and say something offensive 
! We would try to wait because we didn't want my brother to have to leave with his wife! I REALLY like being reclusive!!

6000 square foot house. Yes.
There would be a library, a planetarium, a greenhouse, an area with a waterfall, large kitchen and larder, many other areas, did i mention the indoor gun range?
@Morgan101 you are welcome to join us. Unless the medical team is in attendance (one is a nurse, one is a p.a.), it would be pleasant. (I would like to usher them into another room as they loudly discuss their jobs and workload but there is not another room to do so). But i really need that 6000 square foot home cuz this place doesn't fit us all for family dinners.
As time has passed, I have realized there have been times (in other houses) when I don't recall my LH being in attendance...it is because he had had enough and had gone outside, to the garage, the basement, bedroom, etc.

I currently live in about 500 square feet--maybe a little more but definitely under 600. The cabin I hope to retire to is about twice the size and I consider it a palace.
6000 sq ft is a lot to clean and heat/cool and pay taxes on.
I'll stick with tiny--it's what I'm used to.

Would you rather have a pet that could live as long as you do or a tree that grew perfect apples every year no matter the weather or other conditions?
Yes! Sorry, both. Pretty sure that is not how this works. LOLWould you rather have a pet that could live as long as you do or a tree that grew perfect apples every year no matter the weather or other conditions?
Tough choice, but I think I would take the apples. I have had 50 years worth of pets, and I think I have had all the fun I can stand.
I'm with Snappy, both

I’ll take the apple tree 
I played by the rules, and picked one, but in my heart it would be both.
The apple tree! It would be hard being old and taking care of the pet that is just as old! (Do husbands count)?? Donkeys live to be about 40, I'll be 80 when Buddy is 40!! So I guess I already have the pet that will live as long, probably longer than me!! Show me some apples!!
