Greetings. Other than to post a few crappy questions now and then, you won't see much of me until about the end of August. I have to get a bunch of things done at home before I head off to a celebration being held in my honor. Will be lots of stinky cheese and cheap beer consumed.
Saturday's Questions:
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove where you live?
If so, do you use them?
Do you have any portable heaters or air conditioners to use where needed.in your home?
Ever written an article or story for a magazine?
Ever thought of writing your autobiography?
Items such as cucumbers, apples, and potatoes...do you peel them before eating?
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove where you live? There's a fireplace
If so, do you use them? Sorry to say I don't. When my parents lived here my dad plugged up the flue to keep the heat from going out when the fireplace wasn't in use
Do you have any portable heaters or air conditioners to use where needed.in your home? We cool our house with 2 portable air conditioners. We have one in the den and one in my bedroom. Best thing we ever bought!
Ever written an article or story for a magazine? I wrote several for a newspaper in high school
Ever thought of writing your autobiography? Wouldn't want to bore everybody to death
Items such as cucumbers, apples, and potatoes...do you peel them before eating? Sometimes I peel potatoes before cooking, usually don't peel them if I'm frying them.
Fireplace in livingroom. It has become a collection place for whatever.
Central Air and Heat Pump. Electricity bill this month is $125.
I don't remember writing for a magazine but have been published in National Essay Book as a teen.
I have about a page written of my life growing up in the mountains of North Carolina. I even have a title for the book but got bored fast and thought about how it would be received. I don't think anyone wants to know how much better life is in an area they look down on than any other place in this country.
As to peeling the vegetables: Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't.

Ooooh that sounds like fun, whatcha being honored for? Bring the good cheese and expensive beer this time. You don't want to look unworthy or cheap. Don't bring the moose.
Saturday's Questions:
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove where you live? No, for emergencies I have lots of candles and a small portable propane heater that I haven't had to use for several years. Actually it's still unopened and unused. It's nice to have a heat source if the power goes out for a long time.
If so, do you use them? I probably wouldn't even if I had a fireplace or stove. I'm allergic to gas heat so can't have that either.
Do you have any portable heaters or air conditioners to use where needed.in your home? The heater I mentioned and no portable a/c, I have to open the windows and turn fans on if the air goes out.
Ever written an article or story for a magazine? No but I did get written about, if that counts. It's a long story but basically I pointed out in a letter to the editor of the local idiot newspaper, about his sad little paper and the many errors in spelling and grammar I found. The jerk didn't mention my name, but he went on a rant about the letter I sent. He was so cruel and mean, and all I was doing was looking for a job as a proof reader.
Ever thought of writing your autobiography? I have. And, I did. Getting closer to making that call to a publisher.
Items such as cucumbers, apples, and potatoes...do you peel them before eating? Yes. Unless they are those 'new' potatoes, their red skin in very thin and edible. Those are the best potatoes there are, imo.
Well, I guess that is all
Thanks Mutt for the Q's and congratulations on being "honored".

Saturday's Questions:
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove where you live? No. I'd love to have a fireplace. We had one in our home when I was growing up and I still miss it.
If so, do you use them? N/A
Do you have any portable heaters or air conditioners to use where needed.in your home? Not presently. I used to have a little ceramic space heater but it died. I never replaced it. I either walk around to warm up or put an Afghan on my lap if I get cold.
Ever written an article or story for a magazine? Only if the high school newspaper counts.
Ever thought of writing your autobiography? No. It would be boring!
Items such as cucumbers, apples, and potatoes...do you peel them before eating? Usually, no. However, in the wintertime when veggies in our local stores are shipped from lord-knows-where and have thick coats of wax on them to preserve them, I peel them. The wax is supposedly harmless, but I find it yucky and disgusting. Usually, I avoid buying cukes in the wintertime because of the wax coating.
Well, I guess that is all. Thanks for the questions, Mutt!

Saturday's Questions:
Do you have a fireplace or wood stove where you live? No...I use to have a wood burning fire place years ago and I loved it though.
If so, do you use them? N/A...but since then I have developed adult onset asthma, so it would probably irritate bother my breathing nowadays.
Do you have any portable heaters or air conditioners to use where needed.in your home? Yes upstairs and downstairs. Although we have central air and heat....it's getting old and in extreme temps need a little extra...plus the portable ones have a dehumidifier and that helps me breath better at times.
Ever written an article or story for a magazine? No.
Ever thought of writing your autobiography? No, That would bore everyone to death.
Items such as cucumbers, apples, and potatoes...do you peel them before eating? Not generally...but sometimes I do and sometimes I don't!
Pppppttoui! Cucumbers are nasty. I don't eat them. Sometimes I peel potatoes. Depends on how I am cooking them. I always peel apples.
I have a wood stove. It's an dark blue, enameled covered, cast iron Waterford from Ireland. Easily heats 2500 sq feet and could do more. When I've been snowed in and the electricity has gone out I have never been cold.
I have a portable ac. The kind on wheels. It's sort of a pain in the neck to set up. Fortunately I haven't needed it this year.
