    False - got my good morning kiss but no hug - I think I need to institute a hug in with the good morning and night kisses - they've become too rote.

    I have (besides DH who is #1 best friend) 4 best girlfriends and about a dozen more really good girlfriends - talk about being blessed!

    Artsee:  Maybe we had the same kook.  And thanks for the recommendation for the new Enya CD, I was wondering about it.

    I did take a helicopter ride over Hoover Dam years ago - what a thrill.

    The next person is remembers when practically everything over $10 went into layaway - and it wasn't a bad way to buy!

    False ...don't remember that, my mom would never buy unless she had the money. I think it's a European think.

    Yes I did hug and kiss my family this morning before they went out to start their day. No one leaves unless I get my hugs and kisses.

    Next person just did some ironing....I just finished some, but I hate doing itUndecided

    True, the hose word was a blast back, grin. And before hose as school girls, we wore long stockings made for cotton.  They were white and beige.  I always wanted white ones!

     The next person has been on a sleigh ride.

    True.  A sleigh ride, what a wonderful memory.  Went to a cabin, had hotdogs over an open fire outside.  It was such fun!!

    The next person hangs clothes outside all winter except when it's snowing or freezing rain.  (I hate ironing and yet I do that.)

    False, if I did hang my clothes outside now, when I brought them inside they would be able to stand on their own lol

    False, but I love to go caroling!! I went every year when I was younger.

    My3girls.... if you've been around these boards much, I'm sure you do know. LOL

    I went sledding as a kid.... not now. I might kill myself going down and I probably wouldn't be able to get back up the hill.

    The next person can actually wear belts.

    True, under the shortest skirts.  What sassy butts we had with shorts under skirts. Laughing

     The next person had the world by the butt at 14 and loved every minute of it. My I certainly am a butt person tonight,

    True - we put in hardwood floors when we built - based on the fact that they are SO easy to clean and keep clean - I disagree but they are lovely.

    I did not have the world by the butt at 14 - hated, hated, hated my teen years - my childhood best friends grew into really cool teens - I was tall, gawky, skinny (way before skinny was in), glasses (4-eyes), crooked teeth (mom couldn't afford braces) and all I wanted to do was stick my head into a book.  I finally hit my prime at 18 - kept going, never looked back unless I wanted to cringe.

    The next person would go ice skating if her ankles would still hold her up!

    True - I'm taking an elderly gentleman grocery shopping today - he's too proud to ask anyone for help so I have to remember to volunteer otherwise he does without food.....oy.

    The next person remembers bowling when there was a man in back of the alley who reset the pins when you knocked them down (I once got my ball back with a note in the finger hole asking me out!)

    True!! My BFF of 14's father owned a four lane little alley in the basement of a service club.

    Your story about the note is a TRUE one-of-a-kind, thanks for sharing.

    The next person water-ski'd as a fav past-time.

    False never water skied.

    I too loved the note in the bowling ball story.  Like out of a movie.

    False, we have soooo scaled down Christmas this year. No gifts, back to a no stress peaceful celebration.  But it does feel strange, going into shops and not Christmas shopping.  I admit I will make gifts for the grandsons, but no toys or electronics.  Am I getting old or just jaded?

    The next person sometimes shakes their head at the fact that 2008 is almost over.

    True. At times. I seem to go in cylces of sleeplessness and then a run of sleep. Never can figure out when it will be what.
