How many ...?

bounty, the visual of your pj bottoms was more information than I ever needed. ;-) On the other hand, the hat visual gave me a real giggle. I pictured a fedora. ;-)

A good hike, for me, is from my refrigerator back to my bedroom, where I collapse on the bed in front of this very screen. In my youth I did plenty of hiking and saw some glorious country, but nowadays I'd rather lie comfortably back and watch it glorious high definition. That way I can sip tea and make popcorn. :-0

How many types of tea or coffee do you have in your kitchen?

laughs...while I wouldnt go so far as to say the pj bottoms are dashing, especially sans fedora, they are quintessentially "woodsy"---the classic red and black squares you might see on a lumberjack's working shirt.

the "hat" is usually a light felt-type simple version of a balaclava. military issue actually, ive had it, and a sister to it, for 34 yrs.

0 coffee, ~15 kinds/flavors of tea, though usually there's more. over the past few years ive made a point of saying tea would be a great Christmas present, so id often have about 20-30.

how many tv shows/programs do you kinda sorta make a point of watching regularly?

<facepalm> bounty, what did I just tell you about too much information? Am I going to have to stop this car? I don't want to hear about the red and black squares on your jammies, any more than I want to hear about your Superman underpants. And any guy who wears a balaclava while he sleeps spends his weekends out "on maneuvers" with his militia buddies, prints his own currency, and likes his friends to call him "the Colonel."

I would say I watch maybe four shows that are broadcast weekly, though I sometimes don't watch them till the season is over so I can marathon view them, and then perhaps five or six of the dramas on Netflix or Amazon, each of which amounts to about two days' viewing since whole seasons are released at once (which I love) and I marathon them as well.

How many times a year do you become inebriated to any degree, either intentionally or not?

laughs...yeah but you like woodsy, I mean we're talking right out of the Duluth trading company or hugh jackman in wolverine...

despite the balaclava, no militias, officer monikers or underground mints here...

im a teetotaler so zero days of inebriation for me.

how many days do you typically go between drinking any soda pop?

I never drink soda pop so the number of days is as many as I've had or will be fortunate enough to have yet. And I'm a teetotaler myself, so no inebriation for me, either.

The Duluth Trading Company...I'm going to have to look them up. ;-) And re: Wolverine, do you shave with the steel claws?

How many bands/singers who've been making their music for less than ten years do you listen to?

heck, I eschew shaving almost as much as I eschew alcohol...so no need for the claws in that regard...smiles...

probably too many to know and its constantly changing---whenever I get exposed to a new song I like, i'll hunt up a collection of songs by the person/group and end up becoming at least a nominal fan. ive recently gotten turned on to lorde, the pretty reckless, zella day, the civil wars, and the steeldrivers just to name a handful...

how many chick flick chick lit movies/books have you seen/read?

The Notebook is the only chick flick that comes to mind at the moment. Years ago I used to like a writer named Jeanette Winterson who, from what I understand, is a real gonad-smashing feminist [expletive deleted]. Popular with certain women, apparently.

I do the same thing when I hear a song I like, I investigate the artist and often become a fan. Mostly I stumble across new artists on YouTube, it's great for that. I ended up liking Lorde, too, for a number of reasons, but have been wondering if, whenever she releases her follow-up album, she'll be big still, or will turn out to have been a flash in the pan. We shall see.

How many caches of food, weapons, etc. do you have buried in secret locations in the woods for when you have to bug out due to Planet X returning and causing worldwide zombie-ism?

alas, zero. though the thought of building and having a sort of survival oasis is appealing on a variety of levels, science fiction notwithstanding.

I had a friend who tried keeping a 6 month supply of food in her house but she didn't keep up with rotating the food, and as she has a persnickety aversion to eating foods past their "expiration" date, I ended up with quite a bit of it.

how many days might go by without reading before you felt something was amiss?

Previously, as in a few years ago, could have been quite a few, because I went through a period where I didn't read much due to very poor concentration. Then the golden age of audiobooks came along, and the advent of smartphones and the wireless world, and now I'm back into it, though I listen rather than read. And the answer is not more than a few.

How many times a week do you force yourself to eat a meal you really don't enjoy because it is good for you and doesn't contain what is bad for you?

boy, we gotta get someone else to join in on this thread...

all food is good for us in some capacity and very little doesn't contain anything that isn't bad for us, but in the spirit of the question, zero, mostly because I enjoy practically everything, including things that are "good for me."

how many times in a row can you hear a favorite song before you want to turn it off?

Perhaps a dozen. After that it gets old as I know it by heart.

How many DVD's do you own, approximately?

Only a few, rare ones. The rest I gave away or threw away when streaming and download became viable.

bounty, what do you mean we need to get some more people in here? I've though that before, in the sense that it would be more fun, but you sounded exasperated.

How many times have you come so close to punching someone that you felt a wave of gratitude later to whatever held you back, as you're relieved to not now be facing a lawsuit or some other serious damage to your life?

oh no...not exasperated at all...strictly from a "more fun/participation/variety" perspective...there was some other thread where it was just tailor and I for posts on end and I had said pretty much the same thing, although probably with a successful hint of good humor...

OK, mon, all's cool in the kingdom, bounty, my old son, but how do we go about recruiting for this forum? I'm not wearing that red dress again, if that's where your mind was going.

And for my specialist subject...How many redundant tools (the other kind of tool) do you have in your home, i.e. multiple hammers, screwdrivers, etc.

Dozens. But you must understand I had three small children losing daddy's tools all the time and I had to replace them, and then they would turn up again. My kids are now learning for themselves about the value of tools, as two are married; my daughter has two kids, and my youngest is 24 and has been out on his own (by choice) since he was 19 or 20.

How many children would you say is enough, already?
