MEME: Saturday Six - Episode 97

Can you believe that we're just three weeks away from the 100th edition of the Saturday Six? And that means that we're just seven weeks away from the second anniversary edition!

Thanks to all of you who've been playing and to those who visit for the first time and keep on coming back!

Donna of "My Country Life" was first to play last week based on the rules. Congratulations, Donna!

Here are this week's "Saturday Six" questions. Either answer the questions in a comment here, or put the answers in an entry on your journal...but either way, leave a link to your journal so that everyone else can visit! To be counted as "first to play," you must be the first player to either answer the questions in a comment or to provide a complete link to the specific entry in your journal in which you answer the questions. A link to your journal in general cannot count. Enjoy!

1. Take this test: Out of three tries, what is the shortest time in seconds that you can type the alphabet? (Round to two or three decimal places.) 13.406

2. If you could have a vacation home anywhere, what location would you choose and why?
As of today, my choice would be New Smyrna Beach, Florida. It's close enough to our grandchildren that a weekend visit is very doable, it isn't as popular as some other big name venues, but close enough to Daytona that being involved in races is a real possibility. Sadly, I have neither the wherewithal nor the freedom to move there.
3. What room of your home could most use an organizational expert?
My office. It needs professionals, I think.
4. Take this quiz (if you haven't already!): What temperament are you? (Thanks to Barb!)

Didn't I take the same quiz last week???

You Have a Melancholic Temperament

Introspective and reflective, you think about everything and anything. You are a soft-hearted daydreamer. You long for your ideal life. You love silence and solitude. Everyday life is usually too chaotic for you. Given enough time alone, it's easy for you to find inner peace. You tend to be spiritual, having found your own meaning of life. Wise and patient, you can help people through difficult times. At your worst, you brood and sulk. Your negative thoughts can trap you. You are reserved and withdrawn. This makes it hard to connect to others. You tend to over think small things, making decisions difficult.

What
temperament Are You?

5. What kind of merchandise was sold at the last "going out of businesses" sale you attended? Did you buy anything?
   I don't really remember. I think it was a furniture store a couple of years ago, attended at the insistence of SWMBO* and nothing was purchased.

   *She Who Must Be Obeyed
   

   6. Without naming names, what's the most annoying thing about your neighbors?

   This is an old complaint, resolved with the death of the dog involved. My neighbors are great people. However, he “whistles while he works.” Constantly. I'm not even sure he is aware of it. Unlike MY annoying habit of whistling under my breath, his whistle carries the 300 feet between houses quite easily, driving my dogs insane. One in particular was so annoyed by the constant tootleing that she'd bite his wife whenever the wife would attempt to go for a walk past the house. Not good.

   On a more personal level, that same neighbor used to think nothing of going out on a Saturday or Sunday morning (or both) at 7AM and starting his lawn mower. I don't do mornings, even when I had to get up at 6AM for work. Weekends were my refuge from the evil necessity of rising before the chickens, so any disturbance of the peace and quiet is immediately noticeable around here. Gentle suggestions and outright complaints fell on deaf ears. Oh well, you takes the bad with the good.
