4. My answers:
1. Are you a cat person or a dog person?

I like and have both, but I lean toward a dog person.

2. Do you now, or have you ever taken care of a relative in your home?

My mother lives in my home. She is sick and can be a challenge at times, but I'd never put her out.

3. Have you ever been seriously injured? As in, broken bones or hospitalization?

I've never had a broken bone. Mishaps that required x-rays or stitches, yes. But never anything really serious.

4. Paper or plastic?

Plastic.

5. Do you like sweets?

Not really. For my birthday, I prefer a devils food chocolate cake with no frosting. My mother and siblings like sweets and eat frosting straight out of the can. Yuk! They are also diabetic. My mother swears I was switched at birth.

5. My Answers...
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 02:16 AM by Solon
Cats, they taste less gamy :evilgrin:

Yes, my mom when she had a blood clot in her leg, it was horrible seeing her in that condition.

Tonsillitis when I was a kid, only time I really stayed in the hospital for a physical reason. Cuts and bruises a couple of other times, and a hairline fracture, no hospitalization, when I was in middle school, on my middle finger.

Paper

Yes I do, I confess to having a sweet tooth. Chocolate is my favorite.

12. I wanna play...!
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 03:13 AM by Kentish Man
1. Are you a cat person or a dog person?
Cat. We have 3, and have had a total of 8 in the past 10 years, including 5 at once at one time! (ETA--attrition due to two runaways, 2 deaths, and one that our daughter took to live with her. That cat has an intense hatred of the existence of all other being on the planet except for our daughter. Weird.)

2. Do you now, or have you ever taken care of a relative in your home?
Yes. My mom had a stroke 10ish years ago, and she lived at our house after she got out of the rehab facility

3. Have you ever been seriously injured? As in, broken bones or hospitalization?
No. Closest thing I've had to an injury is a cracked rib, about a month ago.

4. Paper or plastic?
Reusables, bought at the stores here (Tesco, Sainsburys). We have a ton of them now for some reason!

5. Do you like sweets?
Yes. I prefer cake to candy, though.

17. Good Morning Answers
Edited on Tue Jun-03-08 05:51 AM by new_beawr
1. My family has three cats, I prefer dogs though.

2. Besides my children, no. My Dad was treated (successfully) for throat cancer five years ago, my four brothers and I spent time at his house helping out. While a miserable experience, it did work and it was good to spend a lot of time with my brothers.

3. Just an Appendectomy, knock wood.

4. Reused Paper

5. I like fresh fruit, when it's local and good.

25. Okay, I'll procrastinate a bit longer
1. Are you a cat person or a dog person? Dog more than cat but I'm not really an animal person. I don't hate them, just don't care to have pets.

2. Do you now, or have you ever taken care of a relative in your home? Well, my brother lived with me for a semester when he was in college but that's it. I guess I took care of him because we all know how young males are but it wasn't like taking care of an aging or ill relative.

3. Have you ever been seriously injured? As in, broken bones or hospitalization? I've broken my left wrist six times and had two operations on it; have also cracked a rib, chipped my right ankle, broken my left ankle, and broken two toes. I was hospitalized for a week after removal of a brain tumor. But...I never get sick.

4. Paper or plastic? Paper. Or cloth.

5. Do you like sweets? I like fruity sweets; I am not a huge chocolate fan.

3. Have you ever been seriously injured? As in, broken bones or hospitalization?
mild concussion from a head-first mountain bike crash.

now even gives you 5 cents back for each time you BYOB (Bring Your Own Bag)and for each bag... so, if you use 3 of your own bags, you get 15 cents.

Dog person.

Yes, I've given free room & board to two of my sisters, as well as the husband and baby for my older sis. Also my mother & grandmother.

Hmmm... injured, no. But I was born with a birth defect that necessitated hospitalization for observation, to decide whether surgery was required. It wasn't. Took them months to decide that though, so I was stuck in the hospital for what seemed like aaaaaages (I was only young), so I think that should count! :P

Neither paper nor plastic - reusable canvas!

And YES I *love* sweets! What? There are people who don't?

No.

It really does make me antsy when I see so many in checkout lines not using them. So I'm just showin love for those that do in these posts.

61. I'm the same way. The other day at Whole Foods I was really surprised to see the
person bagging my groceries wrapping half my items in PLASTIC BAGS before putting them in my tote. I stopped her from doing it, saying I could just throw the totes in the wash if they got dirty. But how weird is that? I hate even having to put my produce in plastic bags. I only do it when I have a lot of the same item. Otherwise they just go into my cart loose.

I love not having millions of plastic bags in my house anymore.

66. I'll play
1. Are you a cat person or a dog person? Depends on which one has recently thrown up on the rug.

2. Do you now, or have you ever taken care of a relative in your home?
yes, my mother had surgery on her leg and had a 12 inch incision with staples. I brought her home to take care of her and she kept getting up to play with my kids!!
3. Have you ever been seriously injured? As in, broken bones or hospitalization?no broken bones, bad case of cellulitis, almost lost my finger.Put me in the hospital for 4 days (my kids were really little then so it was almost like a vacation!)

4. Paper or plastic? i plan on getting canvas ones as soon as one of my regular stores offers good ones (or maybe i'll get some more totes like my book bag from yard sales)

5. Do you like sweets? sometimes nothing else will hit the spot!

69. Looks like there is a strong promotion for reusable bags.
I'll look into that, but I'm sure my mother will have a cow about it. :eyes:
