PronounsShe/her
Which of the following growing things or green spaces are under your care?
  • Container garden
  • Indoor plant (decorative)
What’s your favorite thing to grow, and why?Cherry tomatoes, because they just keep growing and growing and you can train them to grow up and over things.
What emotions do you experience when you think about downsizing?Downsizing has been a never-ending story for me for the last 16 years. We've had to move to a smaller place eight times because of the constant raising of the rent. We've gone from a five-bedroom home to a one-bedroom apartment. Why, why, why do people have to continually raise the rent?
When do you expect to downsize your living arrangements?I've already down-sized many times and am still down-sizing so that we can live more comfortably in our current apartment.
How would you feel about having to give up 50% or more of your current possessions in a downsizing move?
Piece of cakeNeutralCompletely overwhelmed
Complete this phrase: “Spring is _.”Spring is right around the corner. Wahoo!
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s).We have downsized our dishes from place settings for 12, 8, and 4 (3 sets of dishes) to four only from one set. I would really struggle with down sizing that by 50% to just two place settings for two people, but I guess it could be done. We only have two sets of linens for each bed. I wouldn't want to go any less than that because if there was an accident then I wouldn't have a clean set to use while we laundered the soiled sheets. We have really pared down what we have to live with to the barest of essentials except for our hobby supplies. That is where we could cut back by 50% but it would be like pulling teeth--so hard.
