**I keep the doggy toothpick I give away the hospital toothpick** Family had 2 before I was old enough. One was named Bear (to match the cat, Lion - an aunt had Tiger). But I don’t remember the other’s name ☹ I was hospitalized within the past 2 months for a badly sprained ankle. In, xrays, perscription, ice, splint, crutches, the works. Before that, I had to go in for stitches after a school bus wreck in 3rd grade. ---

> [@Revenant\_Threshold](#): > > Anyway, my turn. \*\*I’ve never voted for a winning political candidate. \*\* So you’re like a anti-Bellwether dude 🙂 I actually managed to vote for the current government here, but I have never voted for a specific candidate (I only get to vote for a party). So I’ll leave it up to you on how to interpret the answer. ---
