Bonus Question(s):
Which person are you?
a.) I take bags of groceries into the house in a number of trips of manageable loads.

If so, tell us briefly why your plans were changed. Several years back we were suppose to spend the holidays with relatives and never made it because of ice and snow which caused terrible driving conditions similar to what is going on now in some parts of the states.

Today's Question:

a.) I take bags of groceries into the house in a number of trips of manageable loads.
b.) I try my hardest to take all my groceries into the house in one trip. Me!

Just for Fun:
What kind of puzzles do you like to do:
Word puzzles (anagrams/crosswords/word-searches/ciphers, etc.)? word search
logic?
jigsaw? We did a *lot* of these when I was a kid. I tried to get my kid interested, but no.
mathematical (sudoku/Kakuro, etc.)? Sudoku
mechanical (Rubik's Cube, etc.)?
other?

Last night a camera club meeting with a presentation on the type of photography I like was canceled due to weather. It snowed yesterday and last night. At 7:00A here this morning, the temp was 2 degrees. We don't get hardly any snow accumulation. The issue here is always ice. The roads are hilly.

Bonus Question(s):

a.) I take bags of groceries into the house in a number of trips of manageable loads.
b.) I try my hardest to take all my groceries into the house in one trip.


I leave groceries in the trunk that do not have to be refrigerated/frozen and bring them up the stairs the next day I go out if there is more than I can carry up the stairs in one trip and I don't need them immediately. I need to hold onto the railing so it's not the kind of person I am but what I'm physically capable of doing. Thank God for plastic bags which are easier to carry up the stairs than paper bags when you have a few.

I like word puzzles/games like cryptograms, Flip Words (computer word game), anagrams but I really don't like word searches. They bore me.
