The ^ > V Game

[lonelocust]

^ I don't get along with most of my genetic relations or talk to them much/at all, but it doesn't bother me, so I don't know if that's a rift or not. My siblings are cool though.

> I got my kitties shrimp as a Christmas treat, and the one who usually wants to get into all food didn't like them. The other two loves them.

v What's your favorite outfit to wear?

 

[debbila]

^ My favorite is a casual pair of pants and a pretty top.

> I was worried that one of the gifts I ordered wouldn't get here in time for Christmas. It came today ( Christmas eve ). So I was wrapping at the last minute.

> After being sick, I didn't have a Christmas tree or decorate the house.

v When do you take down your Christmas tree and decorations?

^  January 1, or the first week of January.  

>  I've been a total slug today, completely wiped out by the holiday

v  How did you feel today?

 

[moorspede]

^ I'm still worried about my overweight cat. I look at her and feel so guilty. 

> The temperatures are going to be very high this week, I hope we don't get bushfires

v How are you handling the weather?

 

[Primula]

^Our weather is perfect. Only a single snowfall so far this winter & no more in the current forecast.
>May try to volunteer at local food pantry this Thursday.
vDo you volunteer anywhere?

 

[lonelocust]

^I was volunteering at a local petting zoo, but they need fewer people in the winter, and also I moved slightly further away, so not at the moment. I'm really very shy with strangers, so even though there's a lot of good organizations I wouldn't mind volunteering with, I just would rather work with animals than people not because I'm a misanthrope but because talking to strangers is stressful for me.

> People who know me don't believe me that I'm shy because I'm not quiet or unconfident.

v Are you shy, outgoing, or somewhere in between?

 

[hbunny]

^ I'm not shy, but don't speak much in groups unless I am called upon to speak.  I'm basically one of those people that doesn't say anything until I have something in particular to say.  My philosophy is that I keep my mouth shut and ears and eyes open LOL

> I am afraid I'm getting the flu.  Came to work today to get a break from the nonstop holiday cleaning, etc.  I had to get back to a normal routine.  But I'm sitting here feeling horrible and pretty sure I have fever, I ran the air conditioner all the way to work because I was sweating.  I've told everyone to stay away from me. 

v Do you enjoy talking on the phone?  I rarely talk on the phone, I don't like to talk on the phone, but I almost everyone else I know talks all the time on the phone.

 

[margd]

^  I don't enjoy talking on the phone that much, with a few rare exceptions.

>  My sweet tooth has completely taken over my diet these last few weeks.

v  When was the last time you had your blood sugar levels tested?

 

[lonelocust]

^ I'm not 100% sure that it's ever been tested, but I'm also not sure it hasn't.

> I know a lot of other things I've had to had tested. Last time it was vitamin D.

> What is your blood type if you know?

 

[moorspede]

O positive

Count your vices, you don't have to name them

 

[AbbysMom]

^ It would be a high number :lol3:
> tired today
V did you sleep well last night?

 

[hbunny]

^ I did.  Went to bed at 7:45.  I have a cold, no flu, but back at work today.

> We have a ton of folks out having tested positive for the flu!  I want a plastic bubble!  My cold is bad enough!

v Are you looking forward to 2017?  I'm ready for 2016 to be over.

 

[Kat0121]

^ Sure. Why not?

> Poor DD has a bad cold. 

v What did you have for breakfast?

 

[hbunny]

^ So far, only coffee, which is very unusual for me, I'm usually starving when I open my eyes.  But this ear and head congestion has me feeling bleh.

> I think 2017 is going to be FABULOUS!  Then again, I am usually the optimist in the group heehee

v Are you ready for the days to start getting longer again??  I can't wait for the first flower to bud!

 

[Kat0121]

^ Most plant life does fine here in Florida during the winter. Yeah I guess so. It doesn't really feel much different though

> I am very optimistic about 2017 too. I don't see the point of going into a new year with a negative outlook. It never helps. 

v What is your favorite brand of coffee?
