Have you ever owned a squirt gun?
When was the last time you blew bubbles (with soap, not gum)?
Do you remember coloured toilet paper and tissue paper and did your mum colour coordinate it?
Do you dance the Short Term Memory Loss tango yet(i.e, you go into a room and can't remember why)?
Do you sleep with the window open even in the winter?

Date: 2016-11-19 10:41 pm (UTC)Um, in the summer, a couple months ago.
Vaguely? Maybe? Tissue paper at least. No, not coordinated.
Of course, all the time, but I always have even since I was a child, so it's not age related.
I sleep with the window open up through about August, maybe until about the middle of September. Heat gets turned on middle of October or so.

3. No.
4. Sometimes ...
5. I never sleep with the window open. In fact, I've lived in some apartments and houses where I never opened the windows. In Texas, I have two seasons ... A/C and a/c turned off. I seldom have to turn on heat. In Minnesota, I seldom open windows. I don't need allergies.

I never saw colored toilet paper or tissue ever, except for at my friend JP's house in high school. His mom was obsessed with the color peach and had peach everything, including toilet paper. Peach garden hose, peach ice cube trays, peach rabbit-shaped cotton ball dispenser, you name it. The only exception was the blue bathroom, which had blue toilet paper.
Yes, but instead of with physical rooms, it's with new browser tabs.
I love to! But now I have tons of air plants and am worried I'll kill them, so I've been closing it.

Date: 2016-11-20 02:07 am (UTC)Not sure when I blew bubbles last. Probably when the older nieces and nephew were little. :p
I vaguely remember the colored toilet paper. Pretty sure mom never got that carried away. :p
I think I have done that dance once or twice. :p
I am pretty sure my bedroom windows don't even open. They were probably painted shut the last time the house was "painted". :o
Hugs, Jon

Oh, gawd, yes, I remember toilet paper with colored flowers on it and nauseating scent in it. Some of the red flowers could convince a person they were horribly ill.
Yes. Wait, what was the question?
No. I hate having my head get cold. I've been known to sleep wearing a stocking cap.

Date: 2016-11-20 12:23 pm (UTC)2. With my grandchildren...hmmm.... a few years ago, now. Probably will again quite soon!
3. I can remember toilet tissue with prints on it and have used it and its still around. Never seen toilet paper one solid colour. Have not bothered to co-ordinate. As a kid we had an outside 'dunny' and mum used apple paper for toilet tissue! She hung it on a large safety pin on a nail. Usually it was green or white, sometimes blue. If that ran out, it was newspaper!
4. Have always done it.
5. Have the windows in my bedroom shut in winter but have at least one window open somewhere eg laundry and toilet.

Date: 2016-11-20 03:18 pm (UTC)I've owned plenty of the little squirt pistols -- never any of the big kind.
Blew bubbles in the 1990s when my kids were little.
Colored toilet paper was a thing? I do remember colored tissues, vaguely, but I don't remember my mum buying it.
I've had short term memory loss half my life!
We hardly ever open the windows at all. :( The house gets really humid if we do & hubby can't stand it.

No, I don't think I recall such things.
I've upgraded in Life, for expediency's sake, sometimes just turning around before searching for the reason.
No, the window is most inconveniently placed for that.
Yes to the fan and devices for white noise, though.

Date: 2016-11-20 07:33 pm (UTC)Just a couple of years ago when the boys were tiny and I didn't think they would try to soak the cat with bubble-soap, lol!!
Noooo...*eyebrow twitch*
I've done it a few times, lol!
Usually during the colder months, yes.
*HUGS*

Date: 2016-12-01 04:59 am (UTC)I own 2 squirt guns.
I just blew them last Christmas.
I've never had coloured toilet or tissue paper.
Sometimes, unfortunately.
I have to, my country is very warm. We don't have spring, fall or winter. It's summer all year round and near the end of the year there's a rainstorm a day.
