False, although my SO has been cutting my hair for the last twenty years. I used to really enjoy waiting my turn in the barbershop on Saturday mornings, listening to the old boys swap hunting and fishing stories and talk about the weather. TNP likes going grocery shopping. ---

False. I sometimes find coins on the ground while running; once I found a dollar. The next poster is physically incapable of typing out “the next poster.” ---

False, none that I’m aware of, although my daughter has been allergy tested and the results came back negative. The allergist said some people, like my daughter just react more strongly to seasonal changes. I think I might too. TNP prefers online shopping to going to the mall or shop. ---
