When going away who packs your bag - yourself or your partner?

Me! Lived out on the road for quite a few years. Can pack a week's worth of clean clothes, toiletries, etc. is a small bag. Wife packs for three days and it's a roller suitcase that takes a forklift to move!! :>)
You've been gone a few days. Upon returning home, you would rather be greeted by a harmless, but lengthy snake on your kitchen floor or a sizable rat staring at you from your kitchen table?

There are no harmless snakes in my area so I will go with the rat.
Walking through a public garden or watching a TV mini series during the daytime?

Don't watch much television during daytime hours. So, would have to say walking through the garden.
You have a flat tire out in the country. When you step out of your car, you realize you just accidently locked your keys/fob in the car along with your phone. Do you start walking hoping you will come onto someone who can help? Or, do you break a window to get your phone and call for help?

It is impossible for us to lock the keys or the fob in either of our vehicles, but I understand the question. My thing would be to stay with the car and hopefully someone would stop to phone road assist for me or walk to the nearest house if I could see it.
When you were in primary school did you take your lunch from home on most days or buy something from the school tuck shop or lunch was provided at the school for free?

The first three years at a one-room country school, I took my lunch. None was provided by the school. Went to "town school" after that and always ate what they served in the lunchroom.
The "class clown" or a little disruptive in elementary school or you were quite studious and, perhaps, a little bashful?

Are the lunchroom meals free 2old? If so, who pays for them? We don't have anything like that over here. Children either bring their lunch from home or order from the school tuck shop. Very shy and bashful. A sandwich, bread roll or a wrap?

Very shy and bashful. A sandwich, bread roll or a wrap? IIRC, when I was in school the lunch meals were 25 cents. Mom would buy a lunch card by the month and someone would punch it as you entered the lunch room. Today, it varies between states and communities. Most are income based. People in the poverty level can apply for free or reduced price lunches. Others pay for them, but it's a reasonable cost. I use bread from my daily lunch sandwiches. Now and then, I'll use a tortilla and make a wrap. Do your local television stations do a good job forecasting your weather or do you use some internet weather sites for the forecast?

Thanks for the info about the school lunch programme. I am pleased the meals are means tested so the children that come from struggling families can have a good main meal at lunch time without the parents wondering where they are going to find the money to pay for the lunches.
Internet weather site because it is more focused on our area.
Do you scan the supermarket internet specials prior to shopping or just rock up and see what is available?

Wife and I are very careful about saving money on groceries. Kroger's has downloadable coupons every week. The new coupons start on Wednesday, but is previewed on Tuesday. We go through the new digital coupons and download those we think we need. And, we look through the paper ad each week.
If you knew what you know today at an earlier age, you might have run for public office in your community... or, you are content allowing the more outgoing folks in your community to hold the public offices.

Certainly not interested in holding a public office.
You still have your school reports or you discarded them years ago?

Never had them, so I assume they were discarded by my mother. IDK
Artichokes or Beets?

Beets!
Have changed most of your outdoor and power tools to rechargeable battery operated or still have most of them either gas or corded electric?
