The Next Person Game

Mini1

False. But I should be.

The next person is glad tomorrow is Friday.

WellWater

True....I like Friday even though I work on Saturday so it doesn't signal the end of my week, it's still a good day.

(Pallir: Hope your surgery goes well and your healing process is smooth)

The next person is in shock over the news that Hostess Cupcackes is shutting down  (I grew up loving Twinkies)

gardengumby

no kidding - I had no idea...  so I guess, true!

(Pallir, I hope your surgery goes VERY well!!  Are you having a DIEP?  5 1/2 hours is all?  Mine was 10.... (for one breast)

The next person is planning to retire in 2013.

ruthbru

I am seriously considering it.

the next person will miss many aspects of her job when she does retire

gardengumby

probably - I will certainly miss the troubleshooting, as I enjoy it - but there's more that I won't miss

the next person has to work late tonight....

pallir

My job ends when I go to heaven, and I'm hoping to be too happy to miss even the best parts of my job down here.

The next person enjoys working with their hands . . . 

((Thanks to gardengumby and WellWater for your well wishes. I am having an LSGAP or hip flap procedure with Dr. Flores, it's not as long nor as difficult and is supposed to take between 4 and 5 1/2 hrs, if all goes well.  The vein is longer than the traditional SGAP and this makes it easier, they say.  The recovery is supposed to be easier on the body, too.  Should be in the hospital 2-3 days.

About Twinkies,  my DH mentioned it to me this AM and I said, "Oh, no! I love their cream filled chocolate cakes." He said, " Well you better enjoy them now 'cause the whole company is goin' tits up."  Before he realized what he'd said, I told him, ". . . must be nice . . ." It's nice being married to a man who can laugh with you, even when it's at himself!))

Mini1

They used to say that cockroaches and twinkies would be the only thing that survived a nuclear attack. Guess the roaches will go hungry now. :-)

ruthbru

The next person is now craving Twinkies

gardengumby

LOLOLOL - no 'fraid not.  I haven't eaten one in probably 40 years.

The next person wishes that every blessed thing wasn't made into a chance for political posturing.

Mini1

TRUE!!!!! The election is over. Put on your big girl panties and over it.

gardengumby

No Xmas decorations going up, as we'll be on vacation over Christmas

Going to play some this weekend 

The next person is going to have a little glass of wine tonight and enjoy the evening.

gardengumby

True if I can drag myself to a store.

We are going to Kona (big island Hawaii) for a month. I can hardly stand waiting!



The next person is having cranberry relish on thanksgiving.

pallir

False-my DH has to fly on Thanksgiving and won't be there to eat it, so my two sons and I will have cranberry sauce. (We'll bring it out for him when he gets home Sat. for leftovers - the best part!) I grew up thinking that the highlight of Thanksgiving was being able to get the cranberry sauce out in one piece!  I had NO idea where it came from, but I just loved everything about it...still do, LOL!

The next person is baking a homemade pie for Thanksgiving . . .

gardengumby

true -  hubby ordered pumpkin, but is waffling now and thinking maybe he wants berry instead.

the next person remembers the little boxes of mincemeat spices they used to sell this time of year.

pallir

TRUE!!! Had no idea what mincemeat was and didn't want to. I figured that if there was chocolate, buttermilk, banana pudding . . . why would I want to eat something that had sugar AND meat in it?  It did not sound tasty, at all, and was therefore, relegated to the "dubious culinary offerings" folder; along with Blood Pudding and Spotted Dick (among other things!).

The next person is already cooking . . . 

ruthbru

false...I am being the company for the change
