I'm with you there!  Moving is an evil plot to drive us insane.

Roses.

Who is your favorite poet?

On a positive note, having a new home and decorating it is a good part of moving.

Edgar Alan Poe is my favorite poet, ever since junior high school.

What do you enjoy doing when spending time with kids?

 

[Kat0121]

My only human child is 21 so I don't spend time with "kids". DD and I like to just chill and have a drink or 2.

do you have satellite radio in your car or house?

 

[Margret]

Nope, no satellite radio.


What kind of crafts do you like to do? (And do your cats try to "help" you with them?)

 

[cassiopea]

I like sewing, particularly historical dresses. 







What is your hair colour?

 

[debbila]

It's a blonde/brown color, natural color is grey.

Do you play board or card games with family/friends, that are not computer games?

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Yes, I play cards with my family. It's a Italian game called Brisecalla.

What is your favorite website, beside TCS?

 

[debbila]

Facebook

How long have you had a computer?

 

[foxxycat]

Since 1981. My dad bought an Atari ST computer that year. Later he taught me about BBS boards which is the old internet where each bbs board was dialed by your phone then talked to the computer on the other end.


How long have you had a cell phone?

 

[laura h]

Since 1997. And it was huge flip phone. I thought I was so cool. My BF at the time bought us matching ones. I told him I couldn't imagine needing one. Now I can't imagine not having one.

How often do you vacuum/clean your house/apartment/flat?

 

[desmond]

Twice a week.

What is your favourite Chocolate?

 

[debbila]

I vacuum once a week since I have just one cat and only the bedrooms are carpeted. The other rooms I dust mop & damp mop when needed, a couple times a week.

Do you do your own yard work, such as lawn mowing & raking, or do you have a gardener?

 

[margd]

When I had a garden, back in the good old days, I did all the gardening myself and loved it.  Except for raking up leaves.  We had a smallish garden but a lot of oak and walnut trees.

If you have a car, where do you take it for work?  Do you work on it yourself, take it to a dealer or take it to an independent garage or other? 

 

[foxxycat]

Small stuff I try to do myself. Otherwise its a small shop down the road from work. They pick up my truck and do the work then after drop it off and I pay them after work. They don't charge for diagnostics and do a good job and cheap.


Would you ride a lawn mower or pass?

 

[stewball]

I don't understand the question.

 

[foxxycat]

If you had a choice to cut your grass by riding a lawn mower or not ride it at all. I worded it wrong. I should have said that if you would use a push lawn mower or a ride on lawn mower. Sorry!!

 

[margd]

It would depend on the size of my lawn.  I've used a push mower many times on a small lawn but believe me, if it had been any size at all, I would have used a ride-on mower.  

What is one thing you hope to accomplish in 2016?

What is one thing you hope to accomplish in 2016?

To learn to sew.. I've just bought a machine.

And so my question is, are you a good sewer?

 

[Margret]

It depends on what kind of sewing you mean. I'm reasonably good with needle and thread, and with a good machine I'd probably be a good machine sewer, but my machine is extremely old, and my options are limited.

OTOH, I greatly enjoy making Temari, which is a three dimensional form of embroidery, with strong geometrical components.  (For a whole lot of pretty pictures, do a Google search on "temari" -- without the quotation marks, of course).

So, what other crafts do you enjoy?

 

[lonelocust]

I enjoy all sorts of textile arts/crafts in addition to sewing. I dabble with knitting, weaving, embroidery, and whatever else I can make up out of scraps. I also like simple woodworking and making of anything decorative. I just like craftiness in general but am only any good with fabric.

What's your least favorite chore?
