I am definitely a liquor cabinet. That one I got, the others I am still working on alone, on the front porch with my fly sweater....Damn auto correct....swatter. R
Here’s the ones I can answer unambiguously.
3 – city
4 – mental
6 – porch
10 – public fishing
13 – liquor chest (it’s those Finnish genes)
16 – rational
17 – suede
18 – political
25 – NYC (isn’t this the same as 3?)
re 19, I’m anti-McD’s but have gotten over gourmet restaurants too. At least the very fancy ones. So how do my values stack up?

Thanks for playing, guys and gals. No values chart or key. Always been an advocate of self-introspection and thought this was a clever approach. I marvel at how I used to be one and am now the other of the above. And also, some stymied me. Also some are simply and at times paradoxically both for me. Take care!!! best, libby

The Dems are filled with wiltsmockent.en,

There's more to read

I'm a firework, but sometimes I feel like a plastic bag. Good post!! //R
A post to set one thinking.

Woman, this is me:
(you asked!)
A student of roses, a mental tortoise, lookin out his picture window
Rather too much HERE.
Not into trespassing nor fishing, more a flyswatter , waiting for flies .
A ping pong ball of a man, I suppose.
A liquor chest fellow, a walker no more on thin ice, cuz the tulips is blooming.
Better late than never, is what they say of me.
So intuitive I could implode. Also rational god help me.

And from Kansas...
I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone
All my dreams
Pass before my eyes with curiosity
Dust in the wind
All they are is dust in the wind
Same old song
Just a drop of water in an endless sea
All we do
Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
Now don't hang on
Nothin' last forever but the earth and sky
It slips away
And all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind
(All we are is dust in the wind)
Dust in the wind
(Everything is dust in the wind)
Everything is dust in the wind
(In the wind)

Ha!
Too many of these I respond in my mind with, "Well, depends on the day/hour/moment..."
I tend to live on the pendulum swing and identify with both ends quite often.
Although I am quite comfortable with...
"Better late than never."
and I'll skip the "McDonald's."
: )
