Yep, I was in danger of falling asleep on the table and then Bob nudged me and reminded me we have internet access here so I got my lap top out.  But they are packing up now, FINALLY,  time to head back to bed....nighty nite sweetie

Sweet dreams, Dottie!

52. Verbose or taciturn?

I veer towards the taciturn, but can be verbose when I’m in the company of people I trust, like here at BetterMost!

That's okay that you answered your questions with explanations, too, because it just shows that you feel at ease with your Bettermost friends! And I like reading all the reasons from everyone.

Another opposite---it's winter there? It's summertime here, but it was just in the 80's F here today. It's 64 tonite---VERY cool for JULY. I like it.

I went to bed, but got up again.  Drank my non-decaf tea too late.

I got a bit carried away with this one. It was a cold, wintery afternoon, last weekend, and I was bored. I started noticing the different choices I had made around my home (carpet/wood floors, curtains/blinds, terracotta/plastic planters, etc., etc.) and started listing them all.  I really should have stopped at yin/yang haha!
