There were a couple of twins who were my first best friends, I’d hate to pick one over the other.

How would you feel if someone showed up 15 minutes late for a date or other event?

if they gave a good reason, maybe I'd understand. if they didn't, I'd be irritated and maybe even send them back where they came from.

what time do you aim to go to bed

Oh, my! My absolute favorite juice (and I totally love it) is real pink grapefruit juice. The sad thing is that I'm not supposed to drink it or even eat a grapefruit, itself. Grapefruit juice (unlike most other juices) interacts with some medications I'm on. I've got to confess that on rare occasions I do eat up to 1/4 of one. I've even drank a big sip when my husband has had it. I've read that blood oranges, and one or two other citrus fruit interact similarly. If they only reduced the effectiveness of the medications, I'd probably cheat more often, but they can increase blood levels.

Q: What side effect(s) from medications do you currently put up with?

bpcyclist · Jun 18, 2020 at 02:33 PM

Dry mouth, elevated blood pressure, somnolence, slowed cognition.

Are you on a sleep med?

No...if you could have a miniature version of a wild animal as a pet, say cat size....which would you choose?

bpcyclist · Jun 18, 2020 at 03:01 PM

Cheetah.

Would you get on a plane right now?

No, do you take supplements to help with your bipolar?

No, not specifically for my bipolar disorder. However, I do take a daily multivitamin and occasional iron supplement (during my period) to prevent deficiencies that could reduce my energy levels, or just generally make me feel physically unwell. I did try OTC fish oil a long while back, and took the maximum of the highest potency OTC stuff. It did very little, so I quit it. Instead, I enjoy eating lots of fish (salmon and tuna). That's much more pleasant.

Q: How good is your diet (excluding any supplements)?

New question. Which is scarier to you, snakes or spiders?

Ha ha! I saw that and then deleted my post

Then you answered my question. This is happening to a lot of us, lately. I'll ask my new question after answering your newest one.

Snakes are much scarier, in my book. I'm not that afraid of spiders at all. Perhaps I would dislike holding a wild tarantula, but I actually have held a pet one. There are some spiders in my area that bite, but almost none are dangerous. They're more annoying than scary. I don't want to play with copperheads, rattlesnakes, cobras, or boa constrictors, for sure. Since it's sometimes not quick to know what the snake is, I can easily get frightened even by a garter snake or garden snake, both of which are harmless to humans. When my father was a teenager, he got bitten by a copperhead. He was in the hospital for a while.

Hit and miss. Super good most of the time with intermittent really badness. Sweets, ice cream, butter.

Do you like really ripe bananas or, like, more green ones?

Innerzone · Jun 18, 2020 at 03:51 PM

The greener ones.

Do you like to vacuum?

bpcyclist · Jun 18, 2020 at 03:58 PM

Love it!!!!

If you are an American, what is your favorite part of the Constitution?

swimmingly · Jun 18, 2020 at 04:48 PM

I'm pretty partial to the 13th Amendment, personally. I've never really read much since High School which is a shame, now that I think on it.

If you could have any of the superheroes powers, which would you like to have, and why?

bpcyclist · Jun 18, 2020 at 06:14 PM

I always wanted to fly.

Fastest you have ever been in a vehicle?

swimmingly · Jun 18, 2020 at 06:19 PM

125/130, and not safely nor proudly. It just came back to me now. God I've been an ***.

Least favorite vegetable?

Okra. Not keen on the flavor or texture. I will eat it, though, if it's in a dish that otherwise tastes good, like a good gumbo.

Q: Do you have something big you are looking forward to? What is it?

bpcyclist · Jun 18, 2020 at 06:51 PM

I guess finishing these books.

Ever eaten quail?

swimmingly · Jun 18, 2020 at 06:59 PM

I have not yet tried quail.

What is the best fiction book that you have ever read?

bpcyclist · Jun 18, 2020 at 07:09 PM

Oh, man, too many. How about The Bonfire of the Vanitiesby Tom Wolfe or Infinite Jest4by David Foster Wallace.

Have you ever cooked Thai food?
