That’s BART tracks next time I’ll wait around on the overpass and catch the train

Hey! its still tuesday, right?
* looks both ways and then sneakes into the café *

nice, sunny, good (and very busy) day. well, i’m here now! lets get into the Qs right away...

1. What is your fave holiday?
does an arbitrary cool moist and sunny autumn in october day count?

2. What is your least fave holiday?
hmm, there are some that honor tyrants and or not very nice people.

3. Do you enjoy reading books?
i suffer reading books because i am such a poor reader. i fall asleep. i do not absorb what i’ve been reading and i feel sad and frustrated. i really wish it was not that way!

4. Do you think you would be happy living on a deserted island completely alone (never seeing another person ever again) for the rest of your life if you had all the food and physical comfort/safety you needed to survive?
if i had all the food and physical comfort/safety i needed to survive, i would still need the company other people. it is people being around that bring comfort and safety.

5. Do you ever shop online?
sadly, yes, i do

Yes! i did it. answered the Qs...

so, sorry @JMG for being so late and thanks for the invité!
hoping everyone had a nice day. 👽🌞🌞🌞

Valentines day I'm alone.

Love reading books.

4. Do you think you would be happy living on a deserted island completely alone (never seeing another person ever again) for the rest of your life if you had all the food and physical comfort/safety you needed to survive?

I don't think I would be happy, though I do enjoy my solitude.

[MosesY]

1. What is your fave holiday?
Favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, lots of food, a four day weekend, what's not to like?
2. What is your least fave holiday?
Christmas. Too commercialized. All about what you get. People pay off their debt for a year and still aren't done with it.
3. Do you enjoy reading books?
I used to read books all the time, now not so much. I have a lot of very good books, a nice collection on woodworking and Christian theology.
4. Do you think you would be happy living on a deserted island completely alone (never seeing another person ever again) for the rest of your life if you had all the food and physical comfort/safety you needed to survive?
That is my idea of a nightmare.
5. Do you ever shop online?
I shop online a lot on Amazon. I have never hung out with Jeff Bezos so I don't know if he is an asshole or not, I leave that judgment to other people.

 

[KindaOtiose]

Easter.

Christmas.

Do you think you would be happy living on a deserted island completely alone (never seeing another person ever again) for the rest of your life if you had all the food and physical comfort/safety you needed to survive?
Probably not. It would get very lonely.

Do you ever shop online?
Yes. I would be surprised if anyone didn't shop online these days.

[JMG]

Hey just wanted to say thanks so much to everyone who replied here (please don't think this means more replies after this aren't still appreciated or welcomed because cafe's never truly end imo, the new ones just come along with new replies so the old ones get bumped to the bottom lol) and I found the replies MOST interesting. I was very curious if there WOULD be anyone here who would answer "yes" straight out to the alone on a deserted island never seeing another person ever again q. My personal answer to it was no of course but I wish very much that I could honestly say yes to it. I greatly admire the one person who answered yes to it, not surprising at all that most people said no though. Lol to those who said as long as there is internet, that would make it a LOT easier that's for damn sure. Still not quite the same as interacting in person with another person but definitely better than zero way of interacting at all. Anyway, yes it could include the internet.

I know the last q about shopping online maybe seemed a dumb q after how the last year has been but I know at least one person who never shops online so there are still those who have resisted it despite how convenient it is for a lot of things lol. Asked it to see if there WERE any people who'd reply "no" to it more than anything lol.

You're so welcome to those who thanked for the tags, no prob! I'd do a cafe for today too but I have a really hard time coming up with the q's. It's extremely easy for me (just my curious nature) to ask too "nosy" or deep/intense/too much thinking for most people kinds of questions and I'm always worried people will judge me for that. Then I think I end up going too far in the other direction and they just end up being kinda boring. Wish I had more confidence w/ that but I just don't. Anyway hopefully at least 1 person enjoyed the q's and if they did then I would consider that a success. Maybe there is already a cafe for today anyway, I didn't get any tags but I will go & check now just in case there is one.

1. What is your fave holiday? Thanksgiving or Christmas. Because of food. I also like New Year's Day because it's really chill.

3. Do you enjoy reading books? I really like it, but I don't do it so much lately.
4. Do you think you would be happy living on a deserted island completely alone (never seeing another person ever again) for the rest of your life if you had all the food and physical comfort/safety you needed to survive? No. Would miss people.
5. Do you ever shop online? Yes, but I like the experience of shopping in physical stores as well.
