Bipolar Questions #6

Wow, I was hoping for a day off. I guess exercising of some sort.

Why is it so hard to stick to a new routine?

Cuz it is not part of the old routine?

Favorite type of cookie, please?

May seem boring, but an extremely good oatmeal raisin walnut cookie with a touch of spice is my absolute favorite. Crisp on the outside, a bit chewy on the inside. I have found an excellent recipe after a bit of a search. It beats the recipe on the inside lid of Quaker oats. Tied for second place are Linzer Tart cookies (a recipe I found after a trying several others) and my mother-in-law's "Princess Cookies", which are basically hazelnut meringue sandwich cookies with a delicious chocolaty butter cream filling. The latter would satisfy any Nutella fan. My Linzer tart cookies are nut-free, unlike most. Instead, they are a most delicious melt-in-the-mouth lemon essence buttery cookie. They must have a raspberry or red currant preserves filling, only.

Q: What trait of your SO, child, or parent(s) do you like most?

Okay, now I'm hungry.

Will have to comment on the ex, I guess, and that would be her kind heart, hidden as it is beneath all the defenses and garrisons.

What is the farthest you have ever run or walked?

At one time? A mile when they used to make us do it in school

Do you play a sport?

Not anymore, I'm too old and out of shape now. I used to run though.

Whats your favorite Olympic event?

Oh, wow, I like a lot of them. Maybe women's gymnastics or something. Floor routine maybe is fun.

Do you like fried plantains?

I actually don't know what they are, so don't know

favorite method to cheer yourself up when you are depressed

1. Some here for support; 2. Pray/meditate; 3. Bike.

Do you like to fish and if so, what kind?

I enjoying freshwater fishing, catch and release. I haven't done this in a few years, though.

Have you ever been deep sea fishing?

Yes. Several times. I enjoyed it mostly except for when I felt like throwing up.

Favorite sea creature?

Yes, but only once, despite being somewhat far out to sea a few times in a sailboat. It was odd, I had been on various types of boats, but the time I went out deep sea fishing (on a fishing boat) I got a bit sea sick. That never otherwise happened to me. It wasn't pleasant! There weren't that many fish caught that day by anyone.

Q: Do you still think about your first girl/boyfriend (or love) from time to time?

Whoops! Fern, we answered at a similar time. You got there first! As for my favorite sea creature, I guess it has to be dolphins. They are so marvelous in so many ways!

Q: Do you ever still think about your first girl/boyfriend (love) from time to time?

I do, it was a high school/college love and I made some foolish youthful mistakes. I hurt some people.

What is your favorite state or country in the world that you've lived?

We do this all the time We have synchronicity on this thread.

The first boy I thought I loved came up when I was manic. I've spent some time wondering what that represents to my subconscious because my subconscious felt it was important enough to yell about him when I was going nuts. My analysis proved insightful, but...My husband is the first man I ever truly loved and yes, I think about him constantly

Do you have a garden?

Dang it... I did it again.

My home state in the southern US someplace.

Favorite PC emoji to use?

I don't really know how to use the emoji thing, unfortunately. Maybe I could learn.

What is the most important, single, basic human right to you?

It is easy. You type a colon and then the letters for the emoji and then another colon for most of them. For example, a hug is the word hug with a colon on either side. No spaces. Also, when you reply, there is a list of 'Smiles' on the right. Click on one and it adds the code for your chosen emoji to your text. You can click on the 'more' link and then it will show you the codes for each option. If you click on one it will add it for you. Enjoy!

Oh, didn't know. Thanks.

Life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness...for all! I guess if I had to pick one, I'd pick life?

Q: What is something you don't know how to cook, but wish you did?

The right to a free and equal life

What is your favorite time of day and why?

First thing in the morning.

Favorite color of rose?

evening time

I like the dark and I like the cooler weather the evening brings- if it's raining of an evening even better, I like the rain falling on a roof. lovely sound

red. (it just so happens to be my favorite color anyway)

question: do you split your day equally between screen time (tv, pc etc), and exercise?, or does 1 dominate the other

Normally, I would ride the bike for at least 90 minutes, often, more like 4. But I can't do anything at the moment.

Do you run?
