06/28/2002 "The Friday Five - When was the last time..."
 When was the last time you...sent a handwritten letter?Grrr... I'm abysmal at sending anything through the mail. I think Christmas cards might be the last non-bill I took to the Post Office to have mailed. My sister, who is nearly as bad as I am about mailing things, does as i do now and simply saves birthday cards and presents until we see each other at some family function.  When was the last time you...baked something from scratch or made something by hand?Ummm... It's been a while. Time and convenience is usually much more valuable to me than homemade lasagne or something.  When was the last time you...camped in a tent?It's been a few years. I think we went camping in the Florida Keys three years ago. Camping in South Florida is usually a hot, sweaty experience with no interesting terrain to hike and mosquitos the size of your hand. When I lived in Kansas, however, I used to love camping.  When was the last time you...volunteered your time to church, school, or community?Never. I'm not a church or school attendee and my community really doesn't have any.  When was the last time you...helped a stranger?Two weeks ago. The gas gauge on my truck doesn't work so I drive around with a spare gallon of gas in the back just in case I run out unexpectedly. I was driving home from work and saw a guy whose car had pulled over on I-95. He was just starting a long walk toward the nearest exit when I stopped and found out that he'd run out. So I poured in my gallon and he thanked me profusely. Nice guy. of course, he didn't offer me $2.00 like I thought he should have, but that's South Florida for you. |  |
