Yes. I don't even wanna say, but yes!

So Magna ... I'm thinking of Brenda's exposure therapy with that patient who was afraid of bridges, on SFU ....
Sorry to hear about that fear.

Question: Did you eat the crust on your bread as a child?

Yes because my mom was clever. She told us that only tough kids ate it and I wanted to be tough and win her admiration . bcuz my siblings didnt eat it

Did you like particular sandwiches as a kid and what type?

My mother said eating the crust would make my hair curly, but I liked the crust regardless.

I liked cheese toasties or turkey sandwiches. I didn't discover peanut butter until I was an adult.

same q

I wasn't a very picky eater as a kid. I was kind of the opposite.

I liked PB & J, Grilled Cheese mostly. I invented a mashed potato sandwich which was mashed potatoes between two slices of bread and liked that too.

Did you have any weird food combinations you liked as a kid?

PB&J to this day, grilled cheese, mashed potato sandwhich also, chiken pot pie with everything on it (mashed potatoes, mac and cheese, corn, gravy, biscuitsm etc)

Do you know how to cook? A little, a lot, none?

I know how to cook quite a bit.

Same q

My brother used to put vinegar on roast beef.
I didn't have any weird combinations that I recall.

I can cook fairly well, but nothing like Magna.

Would you rather knit, or do needlepoint?

I did a bit of needlepoint with my sister and my Mom when I was younger but I've never knit so I'd say needlepoint.

Same q

Can't do either, maybe sewing machine?

Like fragrant things or no?

I'm quite an accomplished knitter but like you, I did some needlepoint as a child with my grandmother.

I'd like to do cross-stitch samplers like the Brontës did.

Fragrant things: very few. Only if they're organic as opposed to artificial scents.

Did you ever play Operation?

Nah way too uncoordinated for that game.

Have you ever had an operation?

I've had more than ten major surgeries and a few less invasive ones.

same question

Yes a few maybe 3
Same Q

Yeah

What kind of clothing is comfortable?

Cotton. Skirts, leggings, tunics, soft blouses.

Do you like to be barefoot?

My mom and aunts and mom's cousins have loads of these embroidery samplers and needlework diaries and really beautiful embroidery and crochet too on functional items, from similar ages.
My grandmother and all her daughters used to make various needlework items and sell them at the Friday market along with my grandfather's stuff from farm.

I often wish this was a common thing still. Now the amount of effort that they had put in from young ages into needlework and crafts, that is the amount of effort girls put into makeup. It's all about insane consumerism now--
apply wash off buy more than needed repeat. I am included in this but I do find it disgusting when I compare what our moms and grandparents did...
