Yes, for sure.
2. Are you as bad as Jack is at cooking?
I don't really know, I almost never cook.
3. Ever shot an elk or other animal?
No, I wouldn't even kill a mouse.

Nope
6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire?
Yep, but a long time ago.
7. Ever lived in an apartment above a laundromat (or other retail establishment)?
No, but I did live in pretty bad places when I was in school.
8. Are you as good a horseback rider as Lureen -- or can you stay on the horse, anyway?
I think I went riding twice, and I stayed on the horse both times.

A few, but no one close to me.

I admit it, I am worse than Bobby, I am always losing stuff.
13. Ever socialized with the fire-and-brimstone crowd?
Just met some once when I was going to go to school down south, and came right back up north, wasn't the place or crowd for me. But I realized later I should have tried to stick it out. I think the south can be cool and interesting and it was a great school.

Yes, I very well.
19. Did your mother keep your bedroom the way it was when you were a kid?
No not exactly the same.

delalluvia:
1. Do you have a low startle point? Yes, but it's hard to tell since I tend to freeze and thus always look cool and calm. ;D
2. Are you as bad as Jack is at cooking? Almost.
3. Ever shot an elk or other animal? No, but I almost shot my own leg once though. I was at an outdoor shooting range, had my gun cocked and at the second I was squeezing the trigger, a horsefly bit the shit out of my leg. I instinctively swung my arm down to swat it away...holding a cocked handgun. Not too bright. I didn't accidentally fire, thank all the gods, but it was a close one.
4. Was your dad right? No.
5. Ever drunk whiskey straight out of the bottle? Yes and promptly spat it out all over the dashboard of the car. In front of my boyfriend. Rather embarrassing.
6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire? Yes.
7. Ever lived in an apartment above a laundromat (or other retail establishment)? Not yet.
8. Are you as good a horseback rider as Lureen -- or can you stay on the horse, anyway? I can stay on a horse, I've had lessons, but not at a full gallop.
9. Do you know someone named Jack? No.

11. Do you ever bring home freshly caught fish? Yes.
12. Are you worse than Bobby when it comes to losing stuff? No. I hardly ever lose things.

14. Would somebody looking around your home comment that you need more furniture? No.
15.. Do you watch TV during dinner? Yes, daily.

18. Do you remember (or know) how it is, being broke all the time? Yes, and I don't recommend it.
19. Did your mother keep your bedroom the way it was when you were a kid? Heck no. She redecorated the second I moved out.
20. Have you ever scattered someone's ashes? No. Not yet anyway.

:laugh: Good thinking -- that's much safer! Unless, of course, you're using it on the Thanksgiving dinner table ... ;)
--- Quote from: Lynne on February 21, 2007, 02:11:06 am ---11. Do you ever bring home freshly caught fish? No. However, my father used to bring home freshly killed squirrel. He'd skin 'em, freeze 'em....leave 'em til next year, at which point he would toss them and go thru the whole routine again. It was like he expected Mom to 'cook' them, which clearly wasn't about to happen. :)

:laugh: That's an interesting family custom!
--- Quote from: David on February 21, 2007, 03:29:36 am ---6. Ever slept on the ground beside a campfire? Yes. Even when we had the motor home, we ALWAYS slept outside, unless it was raining. Mom and Dad would sleep in the motorhome, and we would sleep outside under the stars and next to the campfire. We would talk all night long and tell ghost stories. Sometimes we would sneak away and run around the campground while everyone else slept! It was fun.

Fun memories ... :)
--- Quote from: Penthesilea on February 21, 2007, 05:28:22 am ---5. Ever drunk whiskey straight out of the bottle? No. Only drank whiskey once in my life. Was at a birthday party I was invited to in Scotland. After saying I wouldn't like whiskey, I earned a stern look and the reply "You're in Scotland, lady!" I gave in :)

Hey Chrissi, I drank my first whiskey in Scotland, too! Not my last, though ... ::)

No! Thank God not, I am pretty bad with a can opener though...

But I bet you don't use one while lying on your back and opening a can of beans on your stomach, Mel! :laugh:

:laugh: Technically, yes. But bottle-swigging is proper whiskey etiquette.

As a Northerner who lived in the South for seven years, I completely agree! But you can always go back someday.

Fear of doing something just like that is one of several reasons I don't use guns.
