THIS or THAT Game

yes! I live in NC and we experience all 4 seasons and I love them all. Autumn is probably my favorite.

Summer or winter?

yes if it's wet. I make my own mosquito spray from essential oils and it works so good. Since I have LE I must be extremely careful with the right side.

Outside or inside. I prefer to be outside!

Both! I love all gardens!

Zoos or nature centers

Big animals. ..Lions, tigers and bears...oh my!

A nature center has wild life that's native to the area. Animals and plants both.

Busy days or laid back days, which do you prefer?

Hi Aussie!!

I guess my only real hobby is cross-stitching. But I LOVE it!! I haven't done much of it for the last year or so. I really need to get back to doing it again. I miss it!!

Do you enjoy crafty hobbies or sporty hobbies?

I like to watch soccer on TV. And college football. But that's about it.

Do you like soccer or football?

Yes! I'm working on it daily now that I can get in the pool everyday. (Weather permitting!)

Do you like cardio workouts or strength training?

Oh, good grief no!! That sounds too much like work!! Lol I do the stretching exercises my PT gave me but that's it. I'm thinking about doing some Yoga.

I did aerobic exercises back in the 80's at a ladies' gym. It was the most strenuous thing I have ever done!! I remember crying trying to get out of bed. And just sitting down was next to impossible!! I remember saying "Ow, ow, ow!!!" all the way down, and then all the way back up as I stood up!! Lol

Have you ever done Yoga or not?

Oops I was answering Vargadoll at the same time as you, Aussie!! It's funny I answered your question about aerobics in the 80's!! Great minds think alike!! Lol

I like my life right now (minus the medical stuff) but I don't mind trying SOME new things. No bungee jumping, no zip lining, no jumping out of airplanes. Lol

Do you like extreme sports or very safe "feet on the ground" types of activities? Lol

Not at all. The safer the better is my motto!! Lol

Do you like winter activities or summer activities better?

Yes, I do.

Do you do volunteer work with any groups or not? (I should but I don't)

Sometimes I do. I know I "should" volunteer more often. I did when my girls were younger. I was a Girl Scout leader, PTO treasurer, parent volunteer, an Ohio Reads volunteer in the kindergarten classes, classroom aid, band booster, soccer Mom, etc.!! But as they got older I just got burn out!!

Do you ever feel like you are "expected" to do things or not? (I did back then!!! Lol)

Ocean, I think you have plenty of things on your plate, so please don't feel guilty about the things you don't do.

Yes, often I do feel like I'm "expected" to do things and sometimes I really am but sometimes I'm not.

Do you find it helpful to talk through other people's expectations or not?

Thanks, Aussie. I try not to feel guilty. But sometimes I can't help it. And yes, I do find it helpful to talk through what's expected.

Now, the snow question. Yes!! We get more snow than I care to think about!! Some years are worse than others!! Everybody here talks about the Blizzard of 1978 as the worst ever. It shut down everything!! I was a teen. But I remember being out of school for 2 weeks. We got around 35" of snow!! It was crazy!! Our average is 22" per year!!

Do your seasons noticeably change or are they the same all year?

Yes- we even have a generator. It's powered by propane and can operate the entire house. I always have to much food in the house! (And toilet paper..lol) we could probably go a month without needing anything if we used everything we had.

Do you like flip flops or sneakers?
