Friday Five

Short and sweet, this week, from the RevGalBlogPals site:

There are two types of people in the world, morning people and night owls. Or Red Sox fans and Yankees fans. Or boxers and briefs. Or people who divide the world into two types of people and those who don't. Let your preferences be known here. And if you're feeling verbose, defend your choices!

1. Mac? (woo-hoo!) or PC? (boo!)

Mac, all the way. Since I could use a computer, it's been a Mac. Last week I got the hand-me-down PC from the secretary to use in my office. Sounds good, file-sharing, editing the newsletter myself, etc. But it makes no sense!! Boo to PCs.

2. Pizza: Chicago style luscious hearty goodness, or New York floppy and flaccid?

Chicago style with lots of veggies. Or ham and pineapple.

3. Brownies/fudge containing nuts:
a) Good. I like the variation in texture.
b) An abomination unto the Lord. The nuts take up valuable chocolate space.

C. Either is good. As long as there is plenty of chocolate, of course.

4. Do you hang your toilet paper so that the "tail" hangs flush with the wall, or over the top of the roll like normal people do?

I have evolved here, from a childhood household where the tail hung down the wall, to a married household where OF COURSE it goes over the top of the roll. This is something I was willing to compromise on. As long as it is decent toilet paper, and someone replaces the roll instead of setting it on top of the empty one, I don't really care how it hangs anymore. I think that is very big of me, don't you?

5. Toothpaste: Do you squeeze the tube wantonly in the middle, or squeeze from the bottom and flatten as you go just like the tube instructs?

I am a wanton squeezer. Just this week Mr. Incredible informed me that my using the flip top on the tube (as it was designed!) meant that toothpaste later oozed out through the hinge of the flip-top in a messy fashion, so what he does is unscrew the whole flip-top. Apparently I would be well-advised to do the same if I want to continue sharing. Who knew? You learn something new all the time.

Bonus: Share your favorite either/or.

6. Black or blue ink?

Black, of course.

I had the very same conversation at my house regarding the cap of the toothpasate. ;-)

The whole TP thing, I don't really care either. Never thought about until husband decided it had to go one way. Actually I think we are doing well if it is on the roller at all. Unlike my kids who never hang it, it must mean we are grown ups 'cuz we do...

Ham and pineapple - YES! And black ink, absolutely.
