That would be true. It would be true no matter what team was having a parade. However, I would be freezing my patootie off if I were to walk onto my front porch.
The person under me has already finished doing their taxes.

False. I was supposed to. We had an appointment with H&R Block today. And then we got a foot of snow, and blowing, drifting winds. So no.
The person under me has had at least one somewhat exotic pet (says she who loves those who have had boa constrictors and chinchillas and lionhead bunnies....)

Ummmm, no, that would be false. Unless you count thoroughbreds, and they are tools, not pets.
The person under me is taking care of a sick spouse.

False. What a shame! Poor Thom came home at last only to be attacked by all those foreign microbes living in cool wet Seattle? I used to have a killer (in both senses) flu remedy. Can't remember it all, but hot water, lots of fresh minced ginger and garlic figured strongly in the mix. A shot of rum doesn't hurt either. It's funny how this game makes me want everyone to chime in. Ok, I'll just abide by the rules.
The PUM likes PB and mayo sandwiches.

True, omgoodness, I thought I was the only one!
The person under me doesn't like holiday decorations.

My mother used to eat peanut butter, cucumber and mayo sandwiches. Surprisingly tasty.

And Gracie, I don't like holiday decorations. This year, I put out a sparklely sign that said "Ho. Ho. Ho." That was it. I just can't get into all the decorating. When I had kids at home, I did more but no longer. And I haven't had a tree in forever. When the kids were small, we spent every Christmas in Fremont. Then the cats climbing and knocking them over. Then general lack of interest.

I think Jane is constitutionally incapable of following rules. But at least she's reading this and offering additions like cucumber on PB and Mayo sandwiches, something I'm quite willing to try. In fact, I might bring up another recipe thread or start a whole new one. However....
The PUM remembers polishing white Keds.

Post by Gracie on Feb 7, 2014 14:35:28 GMT -5
False. But I do remember white CANVAS Keds. I embroidered mine, little hearts and flowers, when the trend was embroidered jeans and denim shirts (yes I embroidered those too.)
The person under me did not discover Garrison Keillor on their own.

Post by BoatBabe on Feb 8, 2014 17:47:27 GMT -5
True. In May of 1980, right after Mt Saint Helen blew up, I took my 3-yr old son to Northern Idaho (outside Potlatch, to be exact) to tend a goat farm while the owners flew to Boston to apply for a job. They told me, during my 30-minute orientation to the house, the grounds, the multiple herds/flocks of animals AND the goats, "The radio is tuned in to 'A Prairie Home Companion.' Here is the on/off knob. Don't push any buttons."
It was an old stand-up-on-the-floor wood cabinet radio. I didn't, and my son and I fell in love with Mr. Keillor in the midst of 2 tons of volcanic ash per acre.
The person under me is watching The Olympics.

False (but I did discover GK on my own one Saturday evening as I was driving home from somewhere).
The person under me will be going to church tomorrow (i.e., Sunday) morning.

Post by BoatBabe on Feb 8, 2014 22:42:27 GMT -5
False, but I will be praying for our continued health, happiness, safety and comfort.
The person under me is listening to music.
|
|

Post by Jane on Feb 9, 2014 11:25:35 GMT -5
I don't listen to much music. NPR is usually on in my house. My soul has rarely responded to music, although it is pleasant enough. I enjoyed the music on the Grammys even though it was mostly all new to me. When I hear a song I like, my tendency is to google the lyrics.
The lovely person under me is sharpening his/her pencil to tackle the NYTimes crossword puzzle.
|
|

Post by BoatBabe on Feb 9, 2014 21:28:22 GMT -5
False. We only do the New York Times crossword puzzle in pen, thus carrying on Thom's Mom, Madeline's legacy. We are not as good as her. We continue to try.
The delightful person under me hopes The Time Jumpers continue to play on.

Post by liriodendron on Feb 11, 2014 8:48:05 GMT -5
The person under you is unsure just who The Time Jumpers are (are they before my time or am I simply clueless?), but if it would make you happy, BoatBabe, then yes, I hope they play forever!
The person under me plays Words with Friends. (And if they do, would they like to play with me?)
|

Post by BoatBabe on Feb 11, 2014 9:54:18 GMT -5
HA! The person under you is unsure just what Words with Friends is (is that like online solitaire only with other people, or am I simply clueless?) but if it would make you happy, Lirio, then yes! I hope someone plays with you very soon!
The Time Jumpers are a group of studio musicians who get together and play what they want, instead of backing up all of the famous musicians. Sometimes Vince Gill sits in with them. They were on the repeat show this past weekend.
The person under me has something special to do today.

Post by Jane on Feb 11, 2014 16:12:42 GMT -5
Taxes? My husband is doing the taxes. I am washing baseboards in preparation for carpet cleaning later this week. Wow, those activities are about as anti-special as they can be.
The person under me is planning a major trip this summer.

Post by Gracie on Feb 11, 2014 17:12:10 GMT -5
True, sort of. I will move to Michigan for camp again. But my honey will be playing vintage base ball on Mackinac Island, so for the first time ever I'll actually STAY OVER on the island! I have been there many times, but only for the day. So yeah.
The person under me--like me, tonight--HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO MAKE FOR DINNER! (I know, but it's true!)
|

Post by Jane on Feb 11, 2014 20:04:52 GMT -5
Well, dinner's over. I had scrambled eggs. Bill had vegetable soup. We are a daring couple.
Where in Michigan is your camp? As you may recall, both gail and I lived on Mackinac Island the summer of 64 (1964, not 1864) and met at that time.
The person under me has had more than one broken bone.

Post by liriodendron on Feb 11, 2014 20:19:47 GMT -5
False. I have never broken a single bone and hope my good fortune holds out for the rest of my life.
(BoatBabe, Words With Friends is like Scrabble, but a single game can take days to finish. I usually have multiple games going at once, some with people I know and some with random players, but I'm always up for a few more if anyone ever wants to give it a shot. You can either play through Facebook or via an app on your smartphone or tablet, which is how I play. My user name is icouldbereading if anyone wants to start a game with me.)

False, only a little early as I prefer to move slowly early in the day.

False, only a little early as I prefer to move slowly early in the day. The person under me has great ideas for wonderful things to make for breakfast. False. However, it is True that I know that person. That person is My Dahhlink. The person under me is fluent in more than one language, if you count American English as one.

Post by gailkate on Feb 12, 2014 9:43:09 GMT -5
False. Not fluent or even sub-competent in any language other than English. I took Latin, French and German in H.S. but used none of them (well, I wasn't expecting a lot of Latin conversations). I don't understand all the grousing about immigrants who "can't even speak good English" when probably 90% of native speakers can't speak a word of another language beyond hello-goodbye-thank you. Here's another topic I want more on and will hop over to the daily thread to ask.
The person under me loves Valentine's Day.

Post by Gracie on Feb 12, 2014 11:37:00 GMT -5
True. I am a hopeless, shameless romantic, and that's really saying something for the amount of heartbreak I've been dealt in my lifetime.
The person under me does not drink to celebrate the big holidays which seem to call for it (St. Pat's, New Year's Eve, all that.)
|
|

Post by Jane on Feb 12, 2014 15:36:24 GMT -5
I don't really drink at all. No surprises there. However, on Monday, at a contentious steering committee meeting for the PAC of which I am a member, I drank two coffees/Baileys. I needed it.
The person under me enjoys driving.

Man, that is SO true!
I love road trips. Longer road trips are better. Of course, I am driving. I must drive. Passengers are welcome.
The person under me likes grits.

True (though I very rarely have them).
The person under me has never knowingly been in Spain.
