Bipolar Questions Version 5

Days? Not sure how long without any brief naps. A very long time for sure but it's been a while since I was up more than a night or two because clozaril knocks me out.

Do you use pill boxes?

Yes, I have two I use (morning and evening). Having them filled does make my life easier and of course helps ensure that I don't forget whether or not I took them. I have to confess that lately I have been delinquent about filling them, so I've instead when opening up all of the individual bottles for several days now. It annoys me, and yet I've still not filled the pill boxes. My husband also has a pill box, though he has fewer pills in his than I do in either of mine. I fill his pill box. He doesn't. I often fill his pill box and not my own.

Q: Do you take offense easily?

it seriously depends

when it comes to comedians, you can throw the rudest, most offensive joke at me, and I'd probably laugh about it

however: when it comes to myself, I do take offence easily (comments about looks, personality, etc)

what is one thing you know that you really need to work on?

question:

A: Exercising daily

Q: What kind of work do you/did you do?

Communications, then a manager in a company's sales and marketing departments.

Q: What is your favorite pastime?

surfing the internet
do you use social media?

A: No. I am opposed to almost all social media and believe they are harming our society and culture.

Q: Have you ever climbed a mountain?

no.

not sure I'd like too, either

ever been the leader of an event/ group? (school debate society, soccer team, what ever)

Yes. For my old job, I led what were called "Familiarization tours" for agent partners. In addition to planning the tours, I traveled with them to several cities in the US to introduce them to our locations.

Q: What do you like most about yourself?

the fact I can find humor out of anything.

humor's good for you

feeling random, so:

if a cat walked up to you and said woof woof, what would you do?

You're bending my mind a little here. I'm stuck on the statistical improbability of this scenario Cats creep me out much of the time though. I imagine I might run.

What is your favorite board game?

I haven't played a board game in several years, but I guess maybe Trivial Pursuit. I was pretty good at guessing the answers. I watch Jeopardy on TV and do well.

Q: If you cook, what is your specialty? If not, what do you feel you're best at?

random observation:

why are they called bored games?

orriginally I thought it was because you play them because you're bored, but thinking about it.. the games themselves arn't bored, and they don't make you bored either

ooo the hard questions of life..

burning the food (or undercooking it)

usually I have to get takeout. I can't even cook toast without getting the bread stuck in the toaster.

do you collect anything?. if so what

I've noticed the bored connection there too..I'm going to guess and say it is because you play them on a flat board like surface

I collect birds. Figurines, Art, books, bird feeders, etc.

Rain or snow? Which do you prefer?

Rain. I love the sound and look, and at least it means it is not that cold outside. However, first snows are always exciting and romantic. I love snow days, but hate driving in the snow.

Q: What was one of the worst physical injuries you ever had?

A: Pretty significant fracture to my left wrist playing basketball in college in NYC in 1986. It made taking notes pretty interesting the rest of the semester.

Q: Do you believe humans will colonize Mars one day?

I'd like to think they will

I think life on mars is a strong possibility

if not mars, hopefully another planet. I'd love to be able to journey in to space one day

question: did you have an imaginary friend as a child?

A: Yes. Soapie. No idea why I called her that. She didn't last very long as I recall; I think she was replaced by a kitten I called.......wait for it......Soapie!

Q: In honor of my night of bowel prep hell, have you had a colonoscopy? Don't forget the new recommendations are to start them at 45, unless you are lucky like me to start at 43.

Due to cancer genetics I’ve had annual colonoscopies since 40yrs of age. Such fun.

Have you ever belonged to a gym?

A: No. There aren't any in my small town.

I don't " enjoy" them, but I don't " dislike" them either. they can be interesting, but I don't make it a hobby to go to them.

question: is their a period in history that you wish you could have been around to see?.

I know there is good and bad about most periods in history. I guess I am OK living in the current one, though there are several distressing things going on. If I really had to choose another, maybe the Roaring 1920s in the US before the big stock market crash. I do know that prior to that and not long after was very rough with WW1, the Great Depression and WW2.

history.

I particuarly enjoyed learning about henry the 8th and that time period.
