Yes, a friend who is a tequila fan insisted that I try Dulce Vida Anejo Tequila. It is very pricey, has won lots of awards, yadda yadda yadda. It didn’t convert me - I still don’t like tequila. HYE shelled a large quantity of nuts(say a couple pounds or more), that you collected yourself, at one sitting? ---

No. I’ve only ever shelled a few nuts at once, and not that I collected. Have you ever gone to a “pick it yourself” farm or orchard for any kind of fruit? ---

Yes, I’ve been to local apple orchards. And when I was a kid, we’d often pick bushels of blackberries in the fields near our house. Have you ever canned your own jellies or preserves? ---

Yes…well, I “helped” my mother make jams and preserves when I was a kid. My help usually consisted of one part peeling or pitting for every four parts of tasting. As an adult, however, I’ve pickled cucumbers and beans from my back garden on a number of occasions. HYE owned a record player with a 16 rpm setting? And more importantly have you ever played or listened to an actual 16 rpm record? ---

Well, my Dad had one and I inherited it. He did have some 16 rpm’s, and played them once in a blue moon. I don’t know whatever happened to them. Have You Ever wolf-whistled at girls? ---

Yes, but it wasn’t like you might think. It was on stage, as a part of a community theatre production. Have you ever owned, or looked after for a period of time, a black cat? ---

Why yes I have. Just finished fostering one. He was quite the character. I hated to give him up. His new Mom will do great with him. And I can go visit. Solid black with green eyes and a kink in his tail. Have you ever driven a tractor? ---

Yes, many times although never for actual ‘field’ work of planting or cultivating. I’ve used them as snowplows, brush hogs and backhoes and in one case used one to run a powered post hole digger. have you ever went to get ‘just one’ slice of pie or cake and ended up finishing the whole thing? ---

Yes, many times. Pizza too. This was back in the old days, when I thought I could eat whatever I wanted. HYE gotten injured falling on ice? ---

Yes, last year, while walking. My tailbone ached for a few days. HYE helped a kid build a snowman? ---

Does helping my kid sister count? We were both kids (I was maybe 11, and she was 8), and there was a big snowfall, and she wanted to build a snowman. “Will you help, Spoons?” Of course, I did. I liked to play in the snow too. In the end, we built a great snowman. Have you ever skated on an outdoor ice rink? ---

Yes, and my ankles always ache a little afterwards. HYE done any downhill skiing? ---

Yes, I’ve been skiing 4 days this winter (2 of them record cold days too) and in fact I’m planning a ski afternoon on Saturday. Re **Spoons** ’ question on skating, it brought back good memories as I learned to skate with friends at Wollman Rink in NYC’s Central Park. I don’t want to go back there since now Trump’s name is displayed prominently \>:-{ Have you used a thermos for hot drinks or soup? ---

On an almost daily basis. I have a 32 oz thermos of coffee within arm’s reach right now and I’ll drain and refill it before lunch. I almost never use it for anything other than unsweetened black coffee and I have a separate small one that I will rarely use for soups or broth. You didn’t ask about foods but one of my favorite breakfasts is to cook oatmeal in a wide mouthed food thermos. Put in the fixins, top off with boiling water, seal and shake, come back in half an hour for a piping hot, no muss, no fuss way to start the day. HYE added rum, bourbon or other alcohols to your hot chocolate? ---

No, I don’t think I ever have, although I like my eggnog with a generous shot o’ rum. HYE gone shopping and then realized you forgot your wallet or purse? ---

Never. I always check for my wallet, keys and cell phone before leaving the house. HYE tried to give up coffee, but couldn’t? ---

Yes. (sigh) HYE had to take your pet the Vet because of something you did to it? (I stepped on my Yorkies back foot and broke a toenail off at the quick. It wouldn’t stop bleeding. She had to get a stitch. I feel soooo bad) ---

I didn’t, but my mom did, when she accidentally drove over the tail of our beagle mix dog, Casey. He bled a lot, too, and the vet had to amputate the end of the tail, but he otherwise had a long, happy life after that. Good dog. HYE met a pet named Casey? ---

I know a guy who drives a truck, and he has a cat named Jones and a large nasty parrot named Casey. HYE hitchhiked over 200 miles? ---

No. In fact the longest ride I ever got, the one and only time I hitchhiked, was about two miles. HYE run farther than 10 miles (16 kilometers)?
