I tend to hope for the best but prepare for the worst so both or neither I suppose. Someone suggested that pessimists are just disappointed optimists, I think that true.

RU keeping an eye on the depths of your tyre treads?
 
Yes, I’m a gourmet cook…they’re the ones who don’t cook much right?
I had dinner in a gourmet restaurant once, I don’t remember what I ate but strangely I remember exactly what it cost!

RU hoping for a new aftershave or perfume for Christmas, delete as appropriate, you can’t have both as far as I’m concerned. NO!
😉
 
I’m totally naive at cards, I can play rummy, a very simple card game but I’ve never played poker, maybe canasta a couple of times. I’m not good on some kinds of details, I remember places but not road names for example, some things I remember exactly though. Lol.

RU fond of channel swapping on the radio or tv :roll_eyes:
 
No…if I don’t know exactly what I want to watch I usually just turn the TV off (or not turn it on in the first place). Radio? What’s that? 😉

RU forgetful?
 
I’ll give a long answer to that one because it may help someone a little.
I used to have a bad memory, or what people sometimes call a bad memory. In fact most people don’t, if you consider how many things you do remember as opposed to that one thing you forget!
So I was to take an exam, it worried me. I used a memory technique and remembered 2000 clusters of information in fourteen topics. When I took the exam I couldn’t wait to show them how much I knew, most powerful I’ve ever felt in my life! I passed easily.
Having done that I also found that my normal memory increased immensely and since then I’ve never seriously thought that I have a bad memory at all, consequently my confidence is good about memory and that helps too. I recommend trying this if you doubt your memory.
Merry Christmas.

RU having a lovely Boxing Day walk today?

We do not celebrate Boxing day, but I certainly hope all that do celebrate this holiday have a great one.
RU going to attend a New Year’s Eve party next week?
:clinking_glasses: Cheers
 
Not in person, my family are going to one and taking a full size cardboard cut out of me again like last year. They said that people actually preferred it, especially my aunt Freda who is a bit deaf and apparently had a very long and interesting conversation with it last year. My cardboard cut out now gets taken shopping more than I do too… it’s like ID theft really.

How about RU going to a New Years party next week?
🍇 🍦 🍹 🍺 :plate_with_cutlery:🥄 sorry, I should really tidy up

No parties for me this year.
I may borrow your cut out idea for a later get together though, or when my brothers in law come for a visit. 🤣

RU a coffee or tea drinker?
 
It’s a funny thing. When I was young I was shy so I found parties very stressing, now I’m older I’m ok with people mostly but due to tinnitus I can’t handle the noise. So…my cut out is cut out for parties but not me ha ha!

I drink both tea and coffee, more tea than coffee mostly because I have sugar in coffee but not tea.

RU wondering how you’ll work off all the extra rich food you’ve just eaten over Christmas?

Not yet. Need to get through New Year’s Eve first…

RU taller than your father is/was?
 
Yes, much taller than my dad was. My sons are taller than me now but youngsters are soooo tall it’s untrue! Growth hormones in the food chain I think.

RU thinking of new hobby for 2019?
 
Good heavens, no. I’ve got more than enough to do as it is. 😳

RU leaving your Christmas tree up until the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord? (January 13th this time around)
 
Kind of. Really only swing dancing or line dancing.

RU a fan of any sports team?
 
The Indians, the Browns, the Cavs, and the Buckeyes…not necessarily in that order.

RU setting yourself up for failure by making New Years’ Resolutions?
 
I do not make them, which solves the failure problem. 😁
RU and early morning riser or a sleepy head.
